horaire flottant : Les sources consultées ne s’entendent pas sur la définition de ce terme. Méta(1976, volume 21, numéro 3, page 206) dit que cette appellation décrit le très haut degré de liberté accordé à l'employé puisqu'il est libre de répartir ses heures de travail sur une base mensuelle ou hebdomadaire. La source WEIIN(1980, page 210) et KAHOR(1973, page 53) l'assimilent à l'horaire flexible et les sources QTM-2(1976, page 188) et RLFHO(1975, page 7) le donnent comme synonyme d’horaire décalé. La source RLFHO indique en outre que, comme on confond souvent ce type d’horaire avec l'horaire variable, il est préférable de le désigner en anglais «fixed flexible working hours». Voir la fiche «horaire variable». 6, record 3, French, - horaire%20au%20choix

horaire décalé flottant : Ce terme n’a pas sa raison d’être puisque le décalage ne se fait pas de façon arbitraire : il est imposé par l’employeur. 6, record 3, French, - horaire%20au%20choix

[One] case [of confessional education] could be called that of broad confessionality. This applies to a school where secular instruction is generally kept distinct from religious instruction; in other words, it is not expected that the teaching of secular subjects will contribute to the pupils' religious education; the teacher is not expected on occasion to draw a lesson in religious doctrine from his (...) subject matter. (...) In addition, religious instruction has a specific place in the daily or weekly schedule, and a programme of study assumes that it will follow a more or less detailed plan. 1, record 4, English, - broad%20confessionality

[Un] cas [de confessionnalité scolaire] pourrait s’appeler celui de la confessionnalité large. Il s’agit d’une école où l'enseignement profane est généralement distincte de l'enseignement religieux, c'est-à-dire qu'on ne s’attend pas à ce que l'enseignement des matières profanes contribue positivement à l'éducation religieuse des élèves; on n’ attend pas du maître qu'il tire, à l'occasion, une leçon de doctrine religieuse de son enseignement(...). Par ailleurs, l'enseignement religieux a une place spécifique dans l'horaire quotidien ou hebdomadaire; un programme en prévoit le déroulement selon un plan plus ou moins détaillé. 1, record 4, French, - confessionnalit%C3%A9%20large
