<p>Depuis 1990, de nouvelles orientations de l&rsquo;&Eacute;ducation nationale port&eacute;es par les slogans &laquo;&nbsp;l&rsquo;&Eacute;cole de la confiance&nbsp;&raquo;, &laquo;&nbsp;l&rsquo;&Eacute;cole de la bienveillance&nbsp;&raquo;, ou encore &laquo;&nbsp;la Refondation de l&rsquo;&Eacute;cole&nbsp;&raquo; int&egrave;grent des pratiques manag&eacute;riales issues de l&rsquo;entreprise. L&rsquo;&Eacute;ducation nationale s&rsquo;ouvre en effet aux m&eacute;thodes de management du priv&eacute;, fait appel &agrave; des cabinets de conseils en communication<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title="">[1]</a> et importe un discours ax&eacute; sur la &laquo;&nbsp;performance&nbsp;&raquo;, &laquo;&nbsp;l&rsquo;excellence&nbsp;&raquo; de l&rsquo;action publique<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title="">[2]</a> et soumet ses acteurs &agrave; une logique de rentabilit&eacute;. La nouvelle gouvernance complexifie en outre les discours qui circulent au sein de l&rsquo;&Eacute;cole, tout en rapprochant cette derni&egrave;re du March&eacute;. L&rsquo;enqu&ecirc;te de terrain men&eacute;e aupr&egrave;s de dix inspecteurs de l&rsquo;&Eacute;ducation nationale et de dix enseignants du premier degr&eacute; dans l&rsquo;acad&eacute;mie de Montpellier entre 2015 et 2017, dans le cadre de ma recherche de doctorat, r&eacute;v&egrave;le comment la transition d&rsquo;un mod&egrave;le de gouvernement r&eacute;publicain vers un mod&egrave;le de gouvernance bas&eacute; sur des normes europ&eacute;ennes modifie leurs pratiques professionnelles et g&eacute;n&egrave;re chez la plupart d&rsquo;entre eux de la souffrance au travail<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title="">[3]</a>. L&rsquo;analyse &laquo;&nbsp;des caract&eacute;ristiques linguistiques et discursives&nbsp;&raquo; du discours manag&eacute;rial met en &eacute;vidence le glissement d&rsquo;une organisation scolaire r&eacute;gie par la loi vers une gouvernance &eacute;difi&eacute;e sur des normes et des protocoles bien souvent &eacute;trangers aux pratiques professionnelles des enseignants et des inspecteurs, attach&eacute;s jusqu&rsquo;alors au service public et &agrave; une mission de transmission du savoir.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p> <div> <hr align="left" size="1" width="33%" /> <div id="ftn1"> <p class="MsoFootnoteText" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span calibri=""><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="position:relative"><span style="top:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:super"><span lang="FR" new="" roman="" times=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="position:relative"><span style="top:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:super"><span lang="FR"><span style="line-height:107%"><span new="" roman="" times="">[1]</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span lang="FR" new="" roman="" times=""> Mc Kinsey, agence de conseil am&eacute;ricaine, produit des rapports enjoignant &agrave; l&rsquo;&Eacute;ducation nationale de former les &eacute;l&egrave;ves aux comp&eacute;tences attendues par les entreprises.

The Education nationale has opened up to the management methods of the private sector, turned to communications consultants<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title="">[1]</a> and adopted a position centred on the &quot;performance&quot;, the &quot;excellence&quot; of public action<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title="">[2]</a> and subjected its actors to the logic of profitability. Moreover, the new governance complicates the views circulating within the Education System while bringing the latter closer to the Market. The field study conducted among ten schools inspectors and ten primary teachers in the acad&eacute;mie of Montpellier between 2015 and 2017 within the framework of my doctoral research shows how the transition from the model of republican government to the model of governance based on European norms has modified their professional practices and generated occupational stress<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title="">[3]</a> in most of them. The analysis of &quot;the linguistic and discursive features&quot; of the managerial discourse reveals the move of the school organisation governed by the law to the governance built on norms and protocols often unfamiliar to the professional practices of the teachers and inspectors, who until then had been attached to public service and the mission to transmit knowledge.</span></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><strong>Key words:</strong>&nbsp;<em>educational policy, governance, managerial discourse</em></span></span></p> <div> <hr align="left" size="1" width="33%" /> <div id="ftn1"> <p class="MsoFootnoteText" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span calibri=""><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="position:relative"><span style="top:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:super"><span lang="EN-GB" new="" roman="" times=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="position:relative"><span style="top:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:super"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="line-height:107%"><span new="" roman="" times="">[1]</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span lang="EN-GB" new="" roman="" times=""> McKinsey, an American consultancy firm, produces reports enjoining the <i>Education nationale</i> to train the pupils in the skills expected by companies.
