Characteristics of Canadian Curricula
Mots-clés :
Canadian curricula, provincial curriculum, curriculum development, needs assessment, curriculum evaluationRésumé
Au Canada, les directives provinciales concernant les programmes, à en juger d’après des documents représentatifs provenant de chaque province, contiennent tous des objectifs et des listes de sujets à étudier, mais elles présentent de grandes différences du point de vue de la description des élèves, de la prise en considération des divers niveaux d’aptitudes de ceux-ci et des précisions quant au matériel, aux installations et au personnel. L’évaluation, tant des apprentissages des élèves que de la qualité du programme, est rarement abordée en détail. Les programmes sont élaborés presque exclusivement par des éducateurs professionnels et les écoles sont largement sous-représentées dans les comités responsables des programmes ou parmi les répondants à des questionnaires portant sur l’évaluation des besoins. On propose, à titre de stratégie pour améliorer la rédaction des programmes provinciaux, un échange plus systématique des programmes entre les provinces.
