Le présent article vise à dégager les significations que des enseignants et enseignantes de quelques écoles secondaires du Gabon attribuent à la citoyenneté et à l’éducation à la citoyenneté sur la base d’un sondage effectué auprès d’une soixantaine d’entre eux, dont plusieurs enseignent l’éducation civique. Le contexte de la démocratie est évoqué, sur fond d’exigences sociales nouvelles, contexte qui commande un regard renouvelé sur l’éducation civique dispensée à l’école. Les points de vue exprimés, qui font écho à l’expérience personnelle et professionnelle des pédagogues concernés, rendent compte d’une conception quelque peu normative de la citoyenneté bien qu’ouverte sur la participation, mais aussi de l’obligation qu’à l’École d’assurer une éducation civique plus robuste malgré les obstacles sociaux et scolaires rencontrés.
CITIZENSHIP AND CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION: GABONESE SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ POINT OF VIEWS
The purpose of this paper is to identify the meanings that secondary school teachers (male and female) in Gabon give to citizenship and citizenship education. Sixty teachers, many of whom teach citizenship education, were surveyed. Set against a background of new social demands, the context of democracy is discussed, the latter requiring a renewed critical look at citizenship education in schools. The points of view expressed by the teachers taking part in the study echo their personal and professional experiences. Although open to participation, they reflect a normative conceptualization of citizenship education as well as an obligation to ensure a stronger citizenship education despite social and educational obstacles.
