Focus on teachers' (dis)engagements

Teachers as a professional group are the subject of sustained scientific, political and media attention in French society. For the last twenty years (at least), there has been much talk of a "vocational crisis" among teachers, justifying a whole series of reforms which, paradoxically, are perhaps more the cause than the cure of the public problem they have created. This special issue looks at the notion of teacher engagement or disengagement, distinguishing between the different dimensions involved – professional, militant, family and political – and linking the individual and collective levels. From a socio-historical perspective, this issue proposes to analyse from different angles the changing relationship between teachers and their profession in the light of the social and institutional transformations they are facing. The contributions deal respectively with the question of recognition and the proceduralisation of this recognition by the administration, the pedagogical experimentations and their managerial recuperation, based on a case study, the uneven and confused valorisation of professional commitments by the Ministry of National Education, and the ordeals caused by the latter's contradictory injunctions when new teachers enter the profession.
