Résumé

The benchmark for evaluating the training of education inspectors is the training plan implemented since the start of the 1999-2000 academic year. Beyond the strict application of Kirkpatrick’s model which established a hierarchy and causal links between its four stages, this evaluation revealed others, with different objects and methods of achievement (evaluation of skills, evaluation of training system, self-evaluation, external evaluation). Strengthening professionalization, the main suggestion resulting from this evaluation refers to the evaluation that generates professional development for its purpose and to the evaluation-advice for its implementation.

Abstract

The benchmark for evaluating the training of education inspectors is the training plan implemented since the start of the 1999-2000 academic year. Beyond the strict application of Kirkpatrick’s model which established a hierarchy and causal links between its four stages, this evaluation revealed others, with different objects and methods of achievement (evaluation of skills, evaluation of training system, self-evaluation, external evaluation). Strengthening professionalization, the main suggestion resulting from this evaluation refers to the evaluation that generates professional development for its purpose and to the evaluation-advice for its implementation.
