Le conseil de classe face à la notation des élèves : une évaluation subjective ?

The themes of valuation and orientation have caused a lot of questions in the field of Science of Education and particularly in the sphere of orientation in the secondary schools in France. Valuation has become a real pedagogical stake (orientation, degree) where pupils’parents, students, candidates keep calling into questions the correctors’way of marking ; if the future social position of a pupil is often connected with the acknowledgement of the abilities estimated by the teaching institution, the orientation is indeed the major stake in the school valuation. Through this article, it is a question of knowing essentially the criteria which preside over the decision-making of orientation of the pupils. Our work wonders mainly about the notation as the main criterion of valuation of the class-room.
