Compte tenu de leur rôle crucial que jouent les directions dans la gestion d’une école, il s’avère essentiel de porter une attention aux contextes de formation pour développer les compétences des nouvelles directions d’école. Le but de notre étude est d’identifier les contextes de formation (formel, non formel ou informel) qui ont aidé et peuvent aider ces dernières dans le développement de leurs compétences. Une recherche qualitative a été menée auprès de 101 acteurs francophones de l’éducation des 10 provinces canadiennes. Pour la majorité des participants de presque toutes les provinces, les contextes formel et informel ont aidé les nouvelles directions à développer leurs compétences, alors que le contexte non formel constitue celui pouvant le mieux soutenir les nouvelles directions à développer leurs compétences.
EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS FOR FRENCH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS IN CANADA
Given the crucial role of managing a school, it is important to study the educational contexts in which new school principals develop their competencies. The goal of our study was to identify which educational contexts — formal, non-formal and informal — a) have helped, and b) can eventually help new principals to develop their competencies. In our qualitative research project, 101 educational agents from 10 Canadian provinces were interviewed. Our results show that for most of the participants, in almost all provinces, the formal and informal educational contexts have contributed to develop new principals’ competencies. Furthermore, the non-formal education context appears to be the one that could best help them to further develop their competencies in the future.
