GUTIERREZ, Laurent. The choice of Pierre Faure as director of the Institut supérieur de Pédagogie of the Catholic Institute of Paris: affirming the doctrinal positions of Christian pedagogy in the face of the impression of chaos created by active methods. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e109. Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806. https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-109.
The creation of the Institut Supérieur de Pédagogie (ISP) of the Institut Catholique de Paris (ICP) in 1941 was an important step in the history of the professional training of teachers in French Catholic education. While some saw it as an opportunity to participate in the pedagogical improvement of teachers by studying active methods, others preferred to take advantage of this opportunity to reflect on the theological foundations of the new education movement from which they emerged. By appointing Pierre Faure to the pedagogical direction of this Institute, Catholic higher education is showing its desire to be as close as possible to pedagogical practices that are faithful to Christian doctrine in counterpoint to the pedagogical discoveries of its time.
