Management des établissements scolaires : l’appui sur l’intelligence émotionnelle et la bienveillance

Abstract

This article suggest to articulate the question of caring and the issue of emotional intelligence within the School Management framework. It open a dialogue between two researches (Bélanger, 2017, Réto, 2017) which have studied in a sample of leaders of educational institutions in Quebec and in France. It builds on the clarification of the notion of caring, in relation to the ethics of care, and clarifies the interrelationship of emotional intelligence and emotional skills within the framework of knowledge competently. The study on the emotional competences exercised in a professional situation by the directors-general of cegeps in Quebec allowed to improve the model of Mikolajczak et al. (2014) by adding two new skills inspired by the ethics of care. This new conceptual dimension triggers an associative reflection between emotional intelligence and caring. A look is thus made on “caring management” and makes it possible to question the role of emotional intelligence in its implementation by the school management.
