Usages et pilotage du numérique par les chefs d’établissement de collège

Abstract

The research presented in this article is part of an evaluation conducted by the DEPP (statistical service of the ministry of national education), entitled ELAINE (Évaluation longitudinale des activités liées au numérique éducatif) which aims to evaluate the digital plan launched in 2015 in France, whose objective was to provide schools and colleges with mobile digital equipment. The purpose of the research presented concerns the management of the school in terms of "digital" by the heads of secondary school to question the place taken by digital tools in their modes of communication. Since the 1990’s, school heads have seen their missions transformed with the granting of a status of management staff to which correspond strong responsibilities in terms of governance and steering of the school (Dutercq, 2016). School managers then position themselves as relay actors (Akrich, Callon and Latour, 1988) essential in the implementation of the public policy agenda in favour of digital technologies (Burban, 2016). What are the actions implemented to promote digital uses in the institution? In order to answer these questions, a questionnaire was sent by e-mail to the school heads or their assistants. 160 heads or assistants replied to the questionnaire.
