Content
The course consists of an application of the discipline "theory of organizations" to the particular case of socio-educational organizations. The foundations of organizational theory are first presented and some important concepts are clarified. Thereafter, four of the major trends in the discipline are detailed (mechanistic, organicist, culturalist and strategic). Other currents are the subject of more succinct presentations (domination theory, flow theory, etc.). These theories are then applied in a case study carried out by the students, within a socio-educational organisation of their choice. A presentation of these case studies is made during the last courses of the quadrimester.

Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The assessment of students' learning will be done in three ways. First, based on a collection of information within a socio-educational organization, students will have to produce a written report that will be worth 5 points out of 20. Secondly, this written report will be the subject of an oral presentation in class, which will also be worth 5 out of 20 points. Finally, a written exam, counting for 10 out of 20 points and consisting of two open questions on the subject seen in class, will be organized during the exam session. The report and oral presentation will be done in groups.
Online resources
The slideshows used during the lessons and a reading portfolio are available on moodle.
