L'internationalisation des discours sur l'éducation: adoption d'une idéologie mondiale ou persistance du style de reflexion systémique spécifiquement nationale??

The comparative analysis of a body of publications guides the reader through the evolution of the educational discourses in China, USSR and Spain during the XXth century. The aim of this research is to confirm or to invalidate the existence of a type of common educational discourse adopted on a world-wide scale, more precisely of an international ideology supposedly unifying the different conceptions of the educational world as well as the reforming choices of the various countries concerned. One has of course the proceed with caution on such ground. Indeed the article puts forward that, far from expressing progressive and irrepressible homogenisation of national views, the sets of themes running trough the specialized publications disclose alternations of stages displaying vivid interest for foreign reflections and models and of stages focused on national concerns. As far as the latter case is concerned, ideological reasons are to be found of course, when the stages go with authoritarian and cut off regimes in the countries at stake - even if the regimes may have in some instances welcome foreign views at first - but not only. Cultural reasons which attest, when the countries open up, a desire to draw from native, historical, traditional sources, are to be taken into account too. (DIPF/ orig.).
