Affronter les enjeux critiques de la race et la nécessité de décoloniser l’éducation au Canada : problématiser la mise en œuvre d’une pédagogie culturellement pertinente, une histoire de la Nouvelle-Écosse
Mots-clés :
décoloniser, antiracisme, racisme systémique , pédagogie sensible et adaptée à la culture (PSAC), conceptions des enseignant, pensée déficitaireRésumé
L’objectif de cet article est d’affronter les enjeux critiques liés à la race et d’apporter une analyse critique manquante des tentatives de mise en œuvre de la pédagogie sensible et adaptée à la culture (PSAC) dans l’éducation en Nouvelle-Écosse et à travers l’Amérique du Nord. Cette analyse critique aborde les environnements d’apprentissage inéquitables auxquels font face les apprenants noirs. Les récits d’enseignants mettent en évidence la nécessité, pour les éducateurs et les responsables scolaires, d’intégrer des démarches de décolonisation afin de mettre en œuvre la PSAC et de surmonter le racisme systémique dans l’éducation. Sans démarches de décolonisation, notamment offrir aux enseignants le temps et l’occasion de décoloniser leur pensée, les efforts visant à mettre en œuvre la PSAC échoueront.
