Résumé

This article draws on a doctoral thesis problem in which a portrait of research on evaluation in the university context has been achieved. It questions the role played by mutual assessments in relations between university teachers/students in the context of the emergence of modes of governance which give assessment an important regulatory role. Most research, centered on accounting data evaluations, seem to neglect what is negotiated in the interaction between those actors, through their mutual evaluations. We propose a resocializing perspective on assessment to examine particular issues at the heart of their dynamic.

Abstract

This article draws on a doctoral thesis problem in which a portrait of research on evaluation in the university context has been achieved. It questions the role played by mutual assessments in relations between university teachers/students in the context of the emergence of modes of governance which give assessment an important regulatory role. Most research, centered on accounting data evaluations, seem to neglect what is negotiated in the interaction between those actors, through their mutual evaluations. We propose a resocializing perspective on assessment to examine particular issues at the heart of their dynamic.
