Des classes sociales aux classes cognitives

Dans ce texte, l’auteur poursuit deux objectifs. Première- ment, il tente de montrer que, désormais, les compétences cognitives priment la classe sociale lorsqu’il s’agit d’obtenir un emploi prestigieux. Pour ce faire, il examine cinq aspects : le statut social et les compétences cognitives, l’effet Flynn, l’interaction entre l’héritabilité et l’environne- mentalité, l’homogamie éducationnelle et la mondialisation. Deuxièmement, l’auteur présente quelques conséquences sociales de cet état de fait aux plans social et éducatif, dont l’idéologie méritocratique.
