Abstract EN:

In the setting of "training-testing-research", in order to create a method of evaluation, the author orchestraded several "participatory audits" evaluations in different teaching establishements. This research involves an analysis of the effects these evaluations have on the dynamics within the chosen establishements. The author introduces his work by a self-evaluation of his presupposition and paradigmatic choices. He extends his own "experienciations" by a theorical, critical analysis, which uses criterions, on different types of already existing evaluations ; he completes his work by an epistemologic thought concerning these evaluations. His main conclusions are relative to the discovery of the posititve relationship between, on the one hand, the participation of the volunteers in the evaluation, and. On the other hand, the efficiency of this participation in terms of the initiatives taken by the volunteers to make changes within their practices and their working environnement. There remains a query, however, for the author, about the status of evaluative knowledge ; he suggests, within the dynamic of the evolution of educational organisation, an interactive, critical, formative and democratic evaluation.
