Cet ouvrage étudie l'Éducation nouvelle dans ses dimensions scientifiques et militantes. Porté par des praticiens convaincus qu'une réforme de l'école pourra transformer le monde, le mouvement attire aussi des scientifiques persuadés que la science a un rôle à jouer dans la quête d'une harmonie entre les hommes. Tous se rejoignent dans la volonté de construire une éducation basée sur une connaissance scientifique de l'enfant : selon eux, la pédagogie ne doit plus être un art mais une science. Ce livre s'intéresse à la relation qu'entretiennent ici la science et la militance : quelle est la part de l'une et l'autre dans les revendications de l'Éducation nouvelle ? Comment le discours scientifique se mêle-t-il au discours militant ? Qui sont les acteurs engagés dans le mouvement et comment concilient-ils ces deux facettes dans leur activité ? Dans une démarche d'histoire sociale, cet ouvrage puise ses apports dans la lecture fine d'une revue emblématique du mouvement, organe de la Ligue internationale pour l'Éducation nouvelle. Il étudie les questions en débat telles que les méthodes d'enseignement, le rôle du maître, la place des savoirs scolaires ou la liberté en éducation. Ce livre attache une importance particulière aux acteurs engagés pour cette cause et s'intéresse à leurs profils, réseaux et activités aux niveaux local et international.

Since the 25th January 2011 revolution, Egyptians experienced and engaged in a daily debate. Controversially, some argued that the conflict and revolts in Egypt, and the Arab region, were neither coincidental, nor the result of a “domino effect” of collective actions by oppressed people against autocratic regimes. Rather, these revolts were the result of mobilization efforts made over decades by several activist groups, as well as national and international non-governmental organizations. Contrary to this view, others claim that despite the rapid economic growth of Egypt in the 2000s, there was a wide gap in the distribution of wealth and economic return, which left the majority of Egyptians suffering from poverty and high rate of unemployment, especially among youth. Obviously, while national and international economic and political dynamics dominated the daily debate, education remains the forgotten arena amidst conflict. With the exacerbation of conflict between militant extremists and modern states in the region, and most recently in many European countries, it became more important than ever before to understand the dialectics of education in conflict in different local contexts, starting in this book by the Egyptian context. The book focuses on education in Egypt during the time of the revolution as perceived by university students, youth activists, educational professionals, government officials and civil society organizations. Its chapters reveal the tension, contradiction and/or coherence among different players as related to their respective role in education for civic engagement, national identity, global citizenship, peace-building, teacher professional development, and women's and students’ empowerment. The book illustrates the dialectics of education in conflict by articulating diverse meanings and perspectives given by Egyptian stakeholders when describing their actions and reality(ies) during the time of the revolution and its aftermath.

"Following the financial crises in 2007, we have seen the intensification of neoliberal policies in education, with radical and potentially irrevocable shifts in the educational landscape, promoted under the auspices of ‘austerity’. This book highlights the central features of neoliberal education policies, their origins, recent developments and also their inherent weaknesses and flaws. It provides insights into the day to day realities and negative impacts of recent policies on the professional practice and work of educators, demonstrating how the changing conditions have led to de-professionalisation, alienation and a loss of professional autonomy and identity. The book also provides a set of accounts that detail the new realities emerging as a result of ‘austerity’ policies and questions the degree to which austerity has actually been developed as an ideological ‘cover story’ for the further monetisation and privatisation of public services. The various chapters challenge the common assumption that the neoliberal project is a monolithic orthodoxy by highlighting its complexities, variations and contradictions in the ways policies are refracted through action and practice in different contexts. The book also challenges the common assumption that there are no viable alternatives to neoliberal education policies, and does so by presenting a range of different examples, theoretical perspectives, discourses and alternative practices. It is argued that such alternatives not only highlight the range of different approaches, choices and possibilities but also provide the seedbed for a reimagined educational future. The authors offer a range of conceptual and theoretical insights and analyses that highlight the weaknesses and limitations inherent within the neoliberal education project and also illustrate the dangers in following the prevailing hegemonic discourse and trajectories. It is postulated that alternative educational approaches warrant greater and urgent attention because history suggests that rather than having weathered the recent economic crisis, we may well be witnessing the long tail of decline for the neoliberal project. This book will be useful for educators, researchers, students and policy makers interested in the detrimental effects of neoliberal education, the range of viable alternatives, and the routes to resistance and ways of reimagining alternative educational futures.".

The goal of this book is to show how we can recognise the value of the kinds of character formation that civic education has traditionally involved without losing the portion of the truth that can be found in the orthodox view that favours critical autonomy. 'Civics Beyond Critics' warns against neglecting character traits that, although commonly labelled 'conservative', are realistically essential for the future of all liberal democracies.
