THE EVOLUTION OF TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN QUEBEC AND ONTARIO: A NEO-WEBERIAN SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS Related to the question of the professionalization of teaching, this article presents an analysis of the historical and sociological evolution of teachers’ professional knowledge in Quebec and Ontario through the Neo-Weberian approach in the sociology of professions. Employing a review of literature, we conclude that the implementation of theoretical rational knowledge in the years 1950-1960 is carried out in a differentiated manner, with this rationalization being based on a scientific pedagogy in Quebec and on liberal education in Ontario. Despite the arrival of a “practical rationality” in the 1990s in the two provinces, the changes of subsequent years retain certain conceptions from the 1950s and 1960s, which have had a major influence on the current structures of teacher education programs.","PeriodicalId":44124,"journal":{"name":"McGill Journal of Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42863331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines the complex regulatory framework surrounding the impartiality requirement from the perspectives of teachers’ legally recognized right to professional autonomy, their constitutional rights to religious freedom and freedom of expression, and the related issue of impartiality as a pedagogical device when teaching about controversial issues. The paper’s brief review of the jurisprudence does not support a decisive answer to the question of whether the legal basis of the impartiality ERC’s impartiality requirement is sound. However, it does reveal that the impartiality requirement is more legally fragile than it might appear at first glance.
