Résumé

Dans cet article, l’auteur analyse les activités des comités responsables des programmes de sciences sociales au secondaire en Saskatchewan (1970–1972) et en Colombie-Britannique (1978–1981) au cours de périodes marquées par des changements profonds. Dans les deux provinces, le choix des méthodes et des politiques ayant trait aux modifications de programme a donné lieu à une vive lutte idéologique entre les traditionalistes et les progressistes.
