Victor Karady : College of Education Graduates and other teachers in the Gay Nineties. Remarks on the social origin and achievement in an intellectual profession.
Some results of a survey in historical sociology dealing with the differential dynamics of social selection (measured by the place of birth and father's occupation) and occupational achievement (measured by the achieved scholar status at the end of the career) of the French teaching staff from 1900 to 1914. A secondary analysis of the data from M. Gérard Vincent's study on a representative sample of teachers and their comparison with the data given by the author concerning the occupational elite (the alumni of the College of Humanities teaching) enabled an elaboration of several series of objective and comparable indicators: some of them deal with statistical equal teaching opportunities and differences by teacher's social class of origin, according to their cultural and economic achievement and their urban or rural housing, and to a combination of the categories of variables; the other indicators reveal a connection between achievement and social origin. The cultural heritage of the groups is much more of a determining factor in having access to teaching profession and their economic capital. Teaching is a restricted path to social mobility for lower classes. This social environment is being changed mostly by the educated middle class whose rural members attribute relatively more value to profession than their urban counterparts; but College Education is mostly made up of urban groups, with preference to Paris. Professional achievement of the teachers is, at every level of school selection, a function of the family's social status in social Hierarchy. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
