À quoi servent les évaluations institutionnelles ?


Repères - Recherches en didactique du français



What are institutional assessments used for?

In addition to assessments that teachers implement in their classes to monitor learning, institutionally-defined assessments, which they do not initiate but which can influence their practices and teaching choices, also exist. This issue of Repères focuses on these, as they play an important and growing role in French language teaching and training. Through the contributions it brings together, this issue highlights the considerable challenges involved in institutional assessments, which can have different, sometimes intertwined, functions: a certifying function when they are used to award a diploma, a selective function when they take the form of a competitive examination or an informative objective when they are part of national or international surveys. The critical analyses proposed in these articles, which examine institutional assessments from the point of view of their relevance and the reliability of the information they provide, show how these assessments are used in the institutional management of teaching.
