Résumé

The fnal step in research education for pre-service teachers is the production of a dissertation which aims to develop a refexive posture. The goal of the present study is to identify the diferent lines that emerge from these dissertations in order to better determine and orient the education of pre-service teachers on the basis of contextual elements. We analyzed 48 dissertations produced within a curriculum in primary education. The results show the presence of a disciplinary objective or the learning management issue, although an internal culture of research seems to infuence the choice of dissertations subjects, despite a harmonized educational curriculum.
