“…en effet, cette manière commune qu'ont les enseignantes de prendre en compte pour leur évaluation ce qu'elles interprètent du non-verbal des élèves rappelle plusieurs travaux menés dans le domaine de la sociologie des professions, tels ceux portant sur le groupe formé par les policiers (Goldsmith, 1990;loubet del Bayle, 1992;skolnick, 1965) : affrontant le même type de problématique au quotidien, les membres d'un groupe finiraient par adopter des façons de percevoir les situations et d'agir qui se ressemblent et qui sont partagées par l'ensemble des membres. enfin, une perspective socioculturelle lie de façon inextricable les pratiques d'évaluation formative à ce qui « est dans l'air du temps », soit à ce qui est valorisé et négocié socialement.…”

Une conception socioculturelle de l’évaluation formative des apprentissages devient une tendance en recherche, renvoyant à une pratique interprétative qui se déploie dans des jeux d’interdépendance au sein des interactions en classe. Cet article vise à situer la contribution de cette conception à partir de différentes modélisations de la mise en oeuvre de l’évaluation formative et de notre investigation de terrain sur les savoirs pratiques d’enseignantes en cette matière. Comme on le verra, ces récents travaux élargissent la conceptualisation de l’évaluation formative et suggèrent que les prospectives en recherche logent à l’enseigne d’une conception sociale, c’est-à-dire discursive et située.

David Peace and the late Gordon Burn are two British novelists who have used a mixture of fact and fiction in their works to explore the nature of fame, celebrity and the media representations of individuals caught up in events, including investigations into notorious murders. Both Peace and Burn have analysed the case of Peter Sutcliffe, who was found guilty in 1981 of the brutal murders of thirteen women in the North of England. Peace's novels filmed as the Red Riding Trilogy are an excoriating portrayal of the failings of misogynist and corrupt police officers, which allowed Sutcliffe to escape arrest. Burn's somebody's Husband Somebody' Son is a detailed factual portrait of the community where Sutcliffe spent his life. Peace's technique combines reportage, stream of consciousness and changing points of views including the police and the victims to produce an episodic non linear narrative. The result has been termed Yorkshire noir. The overall effect is to render the paranoia and fear these crimes created against a backdrop of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Peace has termed his novels as "fictions of the facts". This paper will examine the way that Peace uses his account of Sutcliffe's crimes and the huge police manhunt to catch the killer to explore the society that produced the perpetrator, victims and the police. The police officers represent a form of "hegemonic masculinity" but one that is challenged by the extreme misogyny, brutality, misery and degradation that surround them. This deconstruction of the 1970s male police officer is contrasted with the enormously popular figure of Gene Hunt from the BBC TV series Life on Mars.

“…Internal aspects are also important. 39 The interactions and tensions between internal police cultures and the police governance and accountability processes, for example, have been a lively and fruitful source of incisive research, analysis and opinion over the past fifty years [43,55,81,87,175,179,185,242,258]. 40 Not surprisingly, the literature in this area is still offering new insights and arguments as it struggles to keep pace with the dynamics of policing and society in the twenty first century [142,158,182,199,259].…”
