NON-DIRECTIVISME [1 record]

Record 1 1987-08-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Leadership Techniques (Meetings)
  • Group Dynamics
CONT

Schlesinger, Jackson, and Butman (l960) found that committees are more effective in problem solution under directive than under nondirective leadership.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques d'animation des réunions
  • Dynamique des groupes
CONT

Une certaine mode a prôné, comme étant une panacée, l'animation non directive (l'animateur directif étant hâtivement assimilé au "fasciste"). On a vu fleurir alors ces réunions sans préparation, sans objectifs, sans méthode, des heures de parlottes dont on ressort abasourdi et cotonneux.

OBS

"conduite non directive", par opposition à "conduite directive" (Q1306, l970, p. 110).

CONT

N'oublions pas la nécessité du non-directivisme. L'animateur ne doit pas orienter les réponses; il se contente de restructurer les idées des membres du groupe, c'est-à-dire qu'il les reformule à l'aide de termes différents.
