Abstract

Today in France, teachers face a new conception of the aims of their work with children, and ways of achieving it. According to the 1989 guideline act, there are three main ways to prevent learning failure: school policies, teaching cycles and assessment of ability Dialogue between teachers, cooperation with families and associations involved with children, either in or out of school, continuity and harmonization of teaching methods during the three different stages which now form the primary education system, can be considered as positive measures, which do however, need to be undertaken with great care. No one can disagree on intellectual grounds with the New Policy for Education, which enhances the principles on which French nursery education was founded, but the practice is often controversial. The danger is that the nursery school curriculum will become that of the primary school, thus imposing prematurely, technocratic and formal assessment, which would overwhelm the aims of the nursery school. Can French nursery schools resist the downward pressure from media, politicians and parents?

Resumen

Hoy dia, los enseñantes en Francia se enfrentan a una nueva concepción de las finalidades y modalidades de su trabajo. La lucha contra el fracaso escolar (cf. Ley Orientacion 1989) se apoya en estos tres polos: los proyectos de escuelas, los circlos des aprendizaje, la evaluación de competencias. La concertación entre maestros, el partenariado con las familias, la continuidad y armonización del aprendizaje tienen algunos efectos perversos. Intelectualmenta satisfatoria, la ‘Nueva Política de Educación’ confirma los principios de base que han inspirado el ‘Pre-escolar’, pero su aplicacion aun levanta ciertas polémicas. La educación pre-escolar puede — y es un riesgo — resbalar hacia programas de ensenanza segun un modelo elementario. Una escolaridad prematura, eveluaciones formales y tecnocráticas pueden imponerse sobre el mismo aprendizaje.¿ Podra, la escuela de parvulos, resistir a las presiones mediaticas, politicas y parentales.?
