Les défis de la formation initiale des enseignants et le développement d'une identité professionnelle favorisant le bien-être.

This paper proposes an essentially theoretical reflection on initial training, a reflection based on four fundamental concepts: professional development, professional identity, well-being and strengths of character. More specifically, recognizing the complexity of the teaching profession, the authors argue that the teacher training in Quebec gives too little room for self-reflection. According to them, this reflection should be based on a search for meaning in terms of a vision of well-being. Positive psychology research on strengths of character may provide useful avenues for rethinking teacher education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
