Résumé

The theme of teacher professionalism is an issue often discussed. However, it is usually dealt with a long with issues of teachers' discontent and the teaching crisis. Indeed, since the 1970s, many questions have been raised concerning the professional culture of teaching. According to Fullan and Connelly (1987), education is still dominated by administrative control. That constitutes the bureaucratic dilemma which teachers' professionalism and educational reform is confronted with. On the contrary, according to Lessard (1990). Members of the teaching body are convinced that the characteristics of their professional competencies, acquired through training and experience, are the greatest guarantees of quality in education. These competencies lead them to claim more professional autonomy and responsibility, which are, indeed, essential characteristics for any profession.
