In: Social Inclusion, 2018, vol. 6, no. 2, p. 22-33

This article examines four European countries (Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) with respect to their degree of disability care personalisation. The approach is embedded in a broader theoretical analysis, which in turn is inspired by the notion of bivalent social justice as presented by Nancy Fraser (2003). The theoretical argument is that claims for personal assistance are...

L’évaluation externe des acquis des élèves, un "mal nécessaire" pour les enseignants = External testing, a "necessary evil" for the teachers

In this context, different types of external tests (reference test in 4th and 6th grade; selection test in 8th grade) must allow teachers to adjust their teaching practices. A mixed research approach...
