Doing a Dissertation in Economics

Your dissertation is likely to be the biggest project you do at University, taking up anything from 8000 to 15000 words. It involves research, time, efficiency and dedication . You don’t have timetabled slots in the week to work on the dissertation, but it is not a light option. You must organise your own time effectively in order to make it a success. These pages give some thinking points and advice on planning, researching and writing your dissertation.

On the right-hand side you can quickly navigate to the relevant piece or follow the dissertation story from beginning to end, starting with the question: Should I do one?

dissertation economie definition

Taken from David Sternberg’s book ‘How to Complete and Survive a Doctoral Dissertation’.

Although many people perceive Economics as a purely technical subject with lots of equations and diagrams, you do have to write essays and dissertations from time to time. This could come as a shock if you did not expect to write one and have forgotten all your essay writing skills from A-Levels (or even worse GCSEs). The following summary of Deirdre McCloskey’s  book called Economical Writing by Stephen Kinsella should help you write elegant but highly analytical essays, for which a high mark is guaranteed.

What Is a Dissertation? | 5 Essential Questions to Get Started

Published on 26 March 2020 by Jack Caulfield . Revised on 5 May 2022.

A dissertation is a large research project undertaken at the end of a degree. It involves in-depth consideration of a problem or question chosen by the student. It is usually the largest (and final) piece of written work produced during a degree.

The length and structure of a dissertation vary widely depending on the level and field of study. However, there are some key questions that can help you understand the requirements and get started on your dissertation project.

Table of contents

When and why do you have to write a dissertation, who will supervise your dissertation, what type of research will you do, how should your dissertation be structured, what formatting and referencing rules do you have to follow, frequently asked questions about dissertations.

A dissertation, sometimes called a thesis, comes at the end of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree. It is a larger project than the other essays you’ve written, requiring a higher word count and a greater depth of research.

You’ll generally work on your dissertation during the final year of your degree, over a longer period than you would take for a standard essay . For example, the dissertation might be your main focus for the last six months of your degree.

Why is the dissertation important?

The dissertation is a test of your capacity for independent research. You are given a lot of autonomy in writing your dissertation: you come up with your own ideas, conduct your own research, and write and structure the text by yourself.

This means that it is an important preparation for your future, whether you continue in academia or not: it teaches you to manage your own time, generate original ideas, and work independently.

Prevent plagiarism, run a free check.

During the planning and writing of your dissertation, you’ll work with a supervisor from your department. The supervisor’s job is to give you feedback and advice throughout the process.

The dissertation supervisor is often assigned by the department, but you might be allowed to indicate preferences or approach potential supervisors. If so, try to pick someone who is familiar with your chosen topic, whom you get along with on a personal level, and whose feedback you’ve found useful in the past.

How will your supervisor help you?

Your supervisor is there to guide you through the dissertation project, but you’re still working independently. They can give feedback on your ideas, but not come up with ideas for you.

You may need to take the initiative to request an initial meeting with your supervisor. Then you can plan out your future meetings and set reasonable deadlines for things like completion of data collection, a structure outline, a first chapter, a first draft, and so on.

Make sure to prepare in advance for your meetings. Formulate your ideas as fully as you can, and determine where exactly you’re having difficulties so you can ask your supervisor for specific advice.

Your approach to your dissertation will vary depending on your field of study. The first thing to consider is whether you will do empirical research , which involves collecting original data, or non-empirical research , which involves analysing sources.

Empirical dissertations (sciences)

An empirical dissertation focuses on collecting and analysing original data. You’ll usually write this type of dissertation if you are studying a subject in the sciences or social sciences.

  • What are airline workers’ attitudes towards the challenges posed for their industry by climate change?
  • How effective is cognitive behavioural therapy in treating depression in young adults?
  • What are the short-term health effects of switching from smoking cigarettes to e-cigarettes?

There are many different empirical research methods you can use to answer these questions – for example, experiments , observations, surveys , and interviews.

When doing empirical research, you need to consider things like the variables you will investigate, the reliability and validity of your measurements, and your sampling method . The aim is to produce robust, reproducible scientific knowledge.

Non-empirical dissertations (arts and humanities)

A non-empirical dissertation works with existing research or other texts, presenting original analysis, critique and argumentation, but no original data. This approach is typical of arts and humanities subjects.

  • What attitudes did commentators in the British press take towards the French Revolution in 1789–1792?
  • How do the themes of gender and inheritance intersect in Shakespeare’s Macbeth ?
  • How did Plato’s Republic and Thomas More’s Utopia influence nineteenth century utopian socialist thought?

The first steps in this type of dissertation are to decide on your topic and begin collecting your primary and secondary sources .

Primary sources are the direct objects of your research. They give you first-hand evidence about your subject. Examples of primary sources include novels, artworks and historical documents.

Secondary sources provide information that informs your analysis. They describe, interpret, or evaluate information from primary sources. For example, you might consider previous analyses of the novel or author you are working on, or theoretical texts that you plan to apply to your primary sources.

Dissertations are divided into chapters and sections. Empirical dissertations usually follow a standard structure, while non-empirical dissertations are more flexible.

Structure of an empirical dissertation

Empirical dissertations generally include these chapters:

  • Introduction : An explanation of your topic and the research question(s) you want to answer.
  • Literature review : A survey and evaluation of previous research on your topic.
  • Methodology : An explanation of how you collected and analysed your data.
  • Results : A brief description of what you found.
  • Discussion : Interpretation of what these results reveal.
  • Conclusion : Answers to your research question(s) and summary of what your findings contribute to knowledge in your field.

Sometimes the order or naming of chapters might be slightly different, but all of the above information must be included in order to produce thorough, valid scientific research.

Other dissertation structures

If your dissertation doesn’t involve data collection, your structure is more flexible. You can think of it like an extended essay – the text should be logically organised in a way that serves your argument:

  • Introduction: An explanation of your topic and the question(s) you want to answer.
  • Main body: The development of your analysis, usually divided into 2–4 chapters.
  • Conclusion: Answers to your research question(s) and summary of what your analysis contributes to knowledge in your field.

The chapters of the main body can be organised around different themes, time periods, or texts. Below you can see some example structures for dissertations in different subjects.

  • Political philosophy

This example, on the topic of the British press’s coverage of the French Revolution, shows how you might structure each chapter around a specific theme.

Example of a dissertation structure in history

This example, on the topic of Plato’s and More’s influences on utopian socialist thought, shows a different approach to dividing the chapters by theme.

Example of a dissertation structure in political philosophy

This example, a master’s dissertation on the topic of how writers respond to persecution, shows how you can also use section headings within each chapter. Each of the three chapters deals with a specific text, while the sections are organised thematically.

Like other academic texts, it’s important that your dissertation follows the formatting guidelines set out by your university. You can lose marks unnecessarily over mistakes, so it’s worth taking the time to get all these elements right.

Formatting guidelines concern things like:

  • line spacing
  • page numbers
  • punctuation
  • title pages
  • presentation of tables and figures

If you’re unsure about the formatting requirements, check with your supervisor or department. You can lose marks unnecessarily over mistakes, so it’s worth taking the time to get all these elements right.

How will you reference your sources?

Referencing means properly listing the sources you cite and refer to in your dissertation, so that the reader can find them. This avoids plagiarism by acknowledging where you’ve used the work of others.

Keep track of everything you read as you prepare your dissertation. The key information to note down for a reference is:

  • The publication date
  • Page numbers for the parts you refer to (especially when using direct quotes)

Different referencing styles each have their own specific rules for how to reference. The most commonly used styles in UK universities are listed below.

The words ‘ dissertation ’ and ‘thesis’ both refer to a large written research project undertaken to complete a degree, but they are used differently depending on the country:

  • In the UK, you write a dissertation at the end of a bachelor’s or master’s degree, and you write a thesis to complete a PhD.
  • In the US, it’s the other way around: you may write a thesis at the end of a bachelor’s or master’s degree, and you write a dissertation to complete a PhD.

The main difference is in terms of scale – a dissertation is usually much longer than the other essays you complete during your degree.

Another key difference is that you are given much more independence when working on a dissertation. You choose your own dissertation topic , and you have to conduct the research and write the dissertation yourself (with some assistance from your supervisor).

Dissertation word counts vary widely across different fields, institutions, and levels of education:

  • An undergraduate dissertation is typically 8,000–15,000 words
  • A master’s dissertation is typically 12,000–50,000 words
  • A PhD thesis is typically book-length: 70,000–100,000 words

However, none of these are strict guidelines – your word count may be lower or higher than the numbers stated here. Always check the guidelines provided by your university to determine how long your own dissertation should be.

At the bachelor’s and master’s levels, the dissertation is usually the main focus of your final year. You might work on it (alongside other classes) for the entirety of the final year, or for the last six months. This includes formulating an idea, doing the research, and writing up.

A PhD thesis takes a longer time, as the thesis is the main focus of the degree. A PhD thesis might be being formulated and worked on for the whole four years of the degree program. The writing process alone can take around 18 months.

Today, economists view economics from a modern and slightly different perspective than traditional economics. Different approaches in economics include perspectives like anthropology, sociology, geography, and various institutions.

Studying economics involving these perspectives provides a clearer view of the issues and problems related to the modern economic world. In contrast, focusing on the traditional economic approaches while selecting a topic will result in vague outcomes according to modern economics.

As a student of economics looking to get good grades, it is essential to develop new ideas and experiment on existing economics theories – i.e., to add value and interest in your research topic.

The field of economics is vast and interrelated to so many other academic disciplines like civil engineering ,  construction ,  law , engineering management , healthcare , mental health , artificial intelligence , tourism , physiotherapy , sociology , management , marketing and nursing . That is why it is imperative to create a project management dissertation topic that is articular, sound, and actually solves a practical problem that may be rampant in the field.

We can’t stress how important it is to develop a logical research topic; it is the basis of your entire research. There are several significant downfalls to getting your topic wrong; your supervisor may not be interested in working on it, the topic has no academic creditability, the research may not make logical sense, there is a possibility that the study is not viable.

This impacts your time and efforts in  writing your dissertation  as you may end up in the cycle of rejection at the very initial stage of the dissertation. That is why we recommend reviewing existing research to develop a topic, taking advice from your supervisor, and even asking for help in this particular stage of your dissertation.

Keeping our advice in mind while developing a research topic will allow you to pick one of the best economics dissertation topics that not only fulfil your requirement of writing a research paper but also adds to the body of knowledge.

Therefore, it is recommended that when finalizing your dissertation topic, you read recently published literature to identify gaps in the research that you may help fill.

Remember- dissertation topics need to be unique, solve an identified problem, be logical, and can also be practically implemented. Take a look at some of our sample economics dissertation topics to get an idea for your own dissertation.

Méthodologie de la dissertation économique (8 étapes)

Màj le 13 décembre 2022 | Catégorie : Economie et gestion

Dans ce qui suit on va présenter 8 étapes pour une bonne méthodologie de la dissertation économique . La dissertation permet d’évaluer simultanément la maîtrise des connaissances et les capacités de rédaction. La dissertation est révélatrice des qualités de l’élève : Esprit d’analyse et de synthèse, capacité à problématiser et à argumenter, aptitude à gérer son temps, aptitude à exprimer ses idées.

Méthodologie de la dissertation économique

Disserter s’apprend : il suffit d’en connaître les règles puis d’acquérir les « savoir-faire » par un entraînement systématique. Voici les 8 étapes à suivre pour une bonne méthodologie de la dissertation économique :

  • Première étape : l’analyse du sujet
  • Deuxième étape : mobiliser les connaissances
  • Troisième étape : de la problématique au plan
  • Quatrième étape : l’introduction
  • Cinquième étape : l’argumentation
  • Sixième étape : rédiger
  • Septième étape : conclure
  • Huitième étape : pour aller plus loin.

8 étapes pour une bonne Méthodologie de la dissertation économique

Première étape : l’analyse du sujet.

Étape incontournable (15 mn) – pour décrypter le sujet, traiter tout le sujet, rien que le sujet – étape souvent négligée par l’élève !

Quatre moments de travail :

– repérer et définir le champ d’étude  : les concepts clés doivent être définis au brouillon, définitions qui seront ensuite utilisées dans l’introduction de la dissertation. La qualité des définitions détermine la suite du travail : une bonne définition met en évidence le contenu mais aussi les limites de l’objet étudié. Ceci permet de clarifier le « thème » du sujet et d’identifier le champ de connaissances auquel il se rattache ; on peut alors faire un inventaire rapide des notions clés et des références essentielles sur ce thème (historique, analyses, ..)

– comprendre le sujet : le sujet peut poser une question explicite, claire (ex : la croissance peut-elle être durable ?) ; mais le sujet peut rester implicite, ne pas proposer une problématique ; c’est à l’élève de l’expliciter en dégageant la ou les questions clés (ex : évolutions de l’entreprise et du capitalisme, depuis la fin du 19 ème siècle).

Dans tous les cas, il faut être attentif aux mots et expressions qui délimitent le travail à effectuer et respecter les consignes. (ex : analyser les relations entre… ; peut-on à juste titre parler de…)

– délimiter le champ du sujet : le sujet peut être général et porter sur l’ensemble de la période et des pays concernés ; il faudra veiller à couvrir l’ensemble du champ en variant les exemples dans le temps et dans l’espace. Au contraire, les champs géographique et temporel peuvent être explicitement délimités (indication du pays et de la période)

– reformuler la question : le travail d’analyse du sujet se termine avec la (re)formulation de la question. Au brouillon, il peut être très utile de schématiser la question.

Exemples : pour le sujet « l’accumulation du capital est-elle la source principale de la croissance économique ? » avec le schéma :

Accumulation du capital –> source principale ? –> Croissance économique

Ce qui est différent de

Accumulation             –>   ?                   Croissance

            Du capital                <— ?                  Économique

Cette schématisation prépare l’explicitation et la présentation du sujet dans l’introduction.

Exemple  : pour les sujets implicites (tels que « évolutions de l’entreprise et du capitalisme depuis la fin du 19 ème siècle »), on peut décomposer le sujet comme suit :

1)les transformations structurelles du capitalisme impliquent des évolutions de l’entreprise

2) réciproquement, les évolutions de l’entreprise expriment les transformations profondes du capitalisme.

Et donc, une reformulation de la question pourra être : Comment les évolutions du capitalisme et de l’entreprise s’articulent-elles, depuis la fin du 19 ème siècle ?

Deuxième étape : mobiliser les connaissances

Il n’y a pas de dissertation sans connaissances. Il faut mettre en relation un sujet et des connaissances. Le travail de mobilisation des connaissances s’inscrit dans le prolongement immédiat de l’analyse du sujet ; les bonnes idées s’envolent vite, il faut donc noter au brouillon les éléments qui vont soutenir votre raisonnement jusqu’à la fin de la dissertation.

  •   Mobiliser les connaissances pertinentes ….  : L’analyse du sujet a permis de repérer les notions clés et d’inventorier rapidement les analyses et exemples essentiels ; il faut après sur le brouillon explorer le champ conceptuel et historique en restant dans la perspective du sujet. (votre cours et vos lectures)- une connaissance en appelle d’autres, les noter vite si et seulement si elles s’inscrivent dans le cadre du sujet.
  •  … puis les classer : il est nécessaire de classer et de hiérarchiser les connaissances : les notions les plus proches du sujet devront être définies de façon détaillée et illustrées par des exemples approfondis ; ces explications exigent à leur tour d’utiliser d’autres notions qui ne seront que brièvement explicitées (il ne faut pas les approfondir, il faut les citer, elles sont bien dans le sujet et cette réflexion contribue à enrichir le sujet)

Troisième étape : de la problématique au plan

A la différence d’une question de cours qui demande de « réciter » des connaissances, une dissertation exige de dégager une problématique à laquelle il faudra répondre : la pertinence de la question posée est la première condition de la réussite de la dissertation. La problématique est l’ensemble des questions auxquelles il faudra répondre pour traiter le sujet posé. La problématique centrale se dégage de la (re)formulation du sujet et se décline en questions plus précises auxquelles répondront les parties et sous-parties de la dissertation. Une problématique centrale est bonne si elle permet de couvrir tout le champ du sujet et révèle son intérêt.

Exemple : pour le sujet « progrès technique et emploi », se pose la réflexion : le progrès technique est accusé de façon récurrente de détruire les emplois et d’engendrer le chômage ; pourtant la corrélation entre progrès technique et emploi se révèle positive à long terme  ; ce paradoxe justifie le sujet et fournira un fil conducteur à la dissertation ; on peut alors formuler 3 questions : – le progrès technique influence-t-il le volume de l’emploi ? – le progrès technique influence-t-il la structure de l’emploi ? – l’emploi, en retour, influence-t-il l’intensité et la nature du progrès technique ?

Si la problématique se déduit du sujet, le plan se déduit de la problématique. Le plan structure la dissertation en dégageant les principales étapes de la réponse apportée au sujet. Construire un plan ne signifie pas seulement trouver les titres des deux ou trois grandes parties : le plan doit être décomposé en sous-parties ; pour chacune d’entre elles, il faut noter l’idée directrice, les principaux arguments et exemples utilisés. Il permettra ainsi de rédiger directement sans ratures importantes. On distingue 3 axes de travail.

Du plan provisoire au plan définitif  : le premier jet constitue un plan provisoire qu’il faut examiner de façon critique et corriger. Le plan résulte d’un dialogue entre le sujet et les connaissances : chaque partie ou sous-partie s’inscrit-elle dans la problématique centrale du sujet ? les différentes parties s’enchaînent-elles logiquement pour construire une réponse au sujet posé ? y a-t-il des répétitions ? Les parties et sous-parties sont-elles suffisamment équilibrées ? Après corrections, le plan devient définitif ; un bon plan traite le sujet, est progressif et équilibré.

Plan formel et plan véritable un plan ne doit pas être formel, il doit exprimer la réflexion cohérente de l’étudiant. Eviter les plans « oui/non ». (un argument et son inverse) ; c’est un plan formel mais pas un plan raisonné ; un bon plan doit être cohérent et doit mettre en évidence la cohérence de la réponse au sujet.

[Pour organiser un plan, il est souvent utile de distinguer deux (ou trois) niveaux de raisonnement : court, (moyen), long terme / dans le contexte 1, dans le contexte 2 / sur la période 1, sur la période 2 / les dimensions structurelles et conjoncturelles / effets ou causes directs et indirects / effets quantitatifs et qualitatifs / optique microéconomique et macroéconomique / effets (ou causes) internes ou endogènes et externes ou exogènes / du côté de l’offre et de la demande. Ces subdivisions simples sont particulièrement efficaces pour structurer les sous-parties de la dissertation. ]

Les différents types de plan

Le plan peut comprendre 2 ou 3 parties, elles-mêmes subdivisées en 2 ou 3 sous-parties. Il n’y a pas de plan type mais des plans adaptés au sujet posé et aux connaissances : rien ne sert de trouver un plan original si on ne peut développer précisément les arguments annoncés.

Les plans les plus usuels sont présentés dans le tableau : typologie des plans.

1

Mais le plan définitif peut s’éloigner de ces plans types si le sujet ou les connaissances le justifient, et d’autres plans peuvent être plus originaux.

Méthodologie de la dissertation économique : Quatrième étape (l’introduction)

Après avoir analysé le sujet et construit un plan adapté, on peut rédiger l’introduction.

L’objectif est d’engager le lecteur vers sa démarche cohérente et pertinente de traitement du sujet. L’introduction ne doit pas empiéter sur le développement : elle justifie le sujet et avance une problématique, elle pose le problème mais n’y répond pas.

C’est un moment fort de la dissertation qui fournira au lecteur-correcteur les premières impressions souvent déterminantes. L’introduction doit donc être rédigée au brouillon. Elle doit être précise, ce qui interdit les généralités et les banalités ; elle doit être proportionnée au devoir, représenter moins d’un huitième de la dissertation (moins d’une page sur huit). Traditionnellement, on distingue 3 temps dans l’introduction mais il est possible de dépasser ces 3 règles si cela améliore l’introduction ou est nécessaire pour le sujet ;

L’accroche : il faut placer le lecteur dans la perspective du sujet ; l’accroche porte logiquement sur ce qui est immédiatement en amont du thème central du sujet ; il faut éviter les accroches journalistiques : une référence historique ou théorique est plus valorisante et justifie mieux le sujet. On peut ensuite, selon les sujets, définir les notions clés ou préciser le contexte dans lequel il faut le placer.

L’énoncé du sujet et la problématique : la définition des notions clés du sujet ou l’évocation d’un fait historique majeur révèlent l’intérêt du thème, il faut alors énoncer le sujet.

On peut ensuite présenter la problématique et préciser les champs historiques et géographiques. C’est là un moment clé montrant la bonne compréhension du sujet, dans ses diverses dimensions. Inutile d’écrire « ce sujet est intéressant », c’est l’enchaînement cohérent des propositions qui établira cet intérêt.

L’annonce du plan  : on peut reprendre les éléments essentiels de la problématique pour présenter le plan. L’introduction générale ne présente que le plan d’ensemble, les idées directrices des 2 ou 3 grandes parties ; le plan de détail sera précisé dans les introductions de parties.

L’expression doit être simple et claire. Il est conseillé de réutiliser les termes majeurs du sujet. Bannir les phrases confuses, elles sont le signe d’un plan peu rigoureux.

Cinquième étape : l’argumentation

Une dissertation n’est ni la récitation d’un cours, ni l’affirmation d’opinions. La dissertation construit progressivement la réponse au sujet présenté dans l’introduction ; elle doit convaincre le lecteur de la pertinence de votre réponse en utilisant des notions définies, des analyses explicitées et des exemples précis situés dans le temps et dans l’espace. Argumenter, c’est mobiliser et organiser les connaissances pertinentes pour construire une réponse raisonnée aux questions soulevées par la problématique.

L’argumentation doit être précise et rigoureuse pour convaincre, mais elle ne doit pas être trop étoffée pour s’inscrire dans une dissertation en 4 heures.

Construire une argumentation personnelle : c’est l’étudiant qui argumente, qui raisonne ; il est donc maladroit de décliner les différentes analyses portant sur un thème comme si on ouvrait les tiroirs de sa mémoire (« pour les néo-Classiques… » « pour les Keynésiens » « pour les … » ceci ressemble plus à un exposé de connaissances ou à une compilation, qu’à une dissertation ; ceci ne veut pas dire que ces analyses ne doivent pas être exposés mais elles doivent s’inscrire dans le raisonnement propre de l’étudiant. De même, certains étudiants multiplient les citations et références aux auteurs en pensant ainsi influencer favorablement le correcteur ; attention, une citation accompagne une explication mais ne s’y substitue pas ; une phrase du type « Keynes a montré que… » n’a aucun intérêt si la démonstration n’est pas clairement faite !

 Construire une argumentation structurée  : le plan a permis de dégager les étapes de l’argumentation ; chaque sous-partie du développement doit présenter une argumentation conduisant à une conclusion partielle.

 Construire une argumentation cohérente : il faut veiller à la cohérence interne du raisonnement ; ainsi les faits historiques doivent être replacés dans leur contexte (ex : la pauvreté ne recouvrent pas les mêmes situations au milieu du 19 ème siècle, pendant la crise de 1929, pendant les années 50 ou actuellement). Ne pas utiliser de concept en dehors du cadre où il est scientifiquement valide. Veiller à la cohérence externe du raisonnement : il doit s’inscrire en permanence dans la problématique du sujet. Un raisonnement peut être rigoureux, précis et hors sujet ! C’est au moment où on formule l’idée directrice  et que l’on rédige la phrase de conclusion de l’argumentation qu’il faut vérifier que l’on reste bien dans l’esprit du sujet.

 Gérer le temps et la longueur : on n’est pas noté au poids ! Disserter, c’est choisir les arguments à présenter dans une épreuve de 2, 3 ou 4 heures (voire 5 en Doctorat) ; (8 à 10 pages pour 4h – 4 pages pour 2h). Or les connaissances sont souvent plus développées, au moins sur certains points du sujet ; il faut donc maîtriser le raisonnement.

Gérer son temps, c’est anticiper, cadrer la dimension des arguments dès le départ, pour avoir le temps de traiter correctement les arguments de la fin du devoir, et de rédiger une bonne conclusion. (Il n’est pas rare de voir des argumentations très détaillées en début de dissertation et beaucoup plus rapides à la fin !)

Sixième étape: rédiger

Les deux premiers éléments de la dissertation (traiter le sujet, argumenter) relèvent du fond ; mais la forme est également importante !

Il existe des règles générales de forme communes avec les dissertations de philosophie ou de culture générale et des règles spécifiques aux épreuves d’analyse économique et historique, ou d’économie, des concours. La dissertation doit être entièrement rédigée. En principe, elle n’inclut donc pas de schéma ou de graphique, ni d’abréviations.

En ce qui concerne les sigles, ils peuvent être utilisés après avoir été explicités lors de leur premier emploi.

La dissertation économique n’est pas un exercice de style, la forme doit servir l’argumentation : il faut prendre l’habitude de phrases courtes et simples. Il faut de plus veiller à l’orthographe et en particulier celle des noms propres, donc prendre le temps de se relire attentivement avant de remettre sa copie.

Il est possible de progresser rapidement en respectant quelques consignes :

Présenter clairement sa copie  : la forme, c’est aussi la présentation de la copie « l’œil du correcteur doit pouvoir repérer facilement le développement de la pensée du candidat dans un texte clair et aéré ». L’écriture doit être lisible ; ne pas utiliser d’encre claire (pastel) ; éviter les rajouts en marge et les ratures.

Mettre en évidence la structure de l’argumentation : il est très important de mettre en évidence le plan, la structure de raisonnement. Mais il faut éviter d’utiliser les titres soulignés ; s’ils sont tolérables pour les grandes parties, il est recommandé de les remplacer par la première phrase de l’introduction de partie, qui se substitue à eux de façon plus élégante.

Une introduction de partie présente brièvement (3 à 5 lignes) le titre c’est à dire l’idée directrice de la partie et son plan ; elle doit se détacher du reste du texte.

De même, puisque chaque partie ou sous-partie constitue une étape du raisonnement, elle doit se terminer par une conclusion qui indique clairement les éléments de réponse au sujet qui viennent d’être apportées.

Il faut aller à la ligne à la fin des sous-parties (on indique qu’on franchit une étape du raisonnement) ; il ne faut pas aller à la ligne avant d’avoir terminé une argumentation ; celle-ci finit toujours par un retour au sujet, dégageant bien la réponse partielle qui vient d’être apportée à la question posée par le sujet.

De même, il faut sauter 1 ou 2 lignes entre l’introduction et le développement, entre chacune des grandes parties de la dissertation, entre le développement et la conclusion.

Articuler les étapes successives du raisonnement  la rédaction doit exprimer clairement une argumentation, c’est à dire un enchaînement logique et structuré de propositions étayées par des données historiques et des analyses théoriques.

Il faut absolument éviter les phrases longues et confuses, un raisonnement doit s’exprimer par une suite logique de phrases courtes, liées les unes aux autres.

Des expressions traditionnellement utilisées permettent de décomposer le raisonnement et faciliter la lecture.

Septième étape : conclure

Comme l’introduction, la conclusion doit être particulièrement soignée ; c’est la signature du devoir ; la conclusion ne doit pas être longue (une dizaine de lignes suffisent amplement puisqu’elle n’amène pas d’argument nouveaux). Etre attentif à l’expression : claire et synthétique.

Pour ne pas bâcler cette conclusion faute de temps, il est recommandé d’en noter au brouillon les phrases clés immédiatement après avoir construit son plan détaillé. La conclusion comprend généralement 2 paragraphes :

La réponse au sujet. Le 1 er paragraphe de la conclusion répond à la question dégagée en introduction (ne pas être en contradiction avec l’argumentation développée dans la dissertation !)

Inutile de représenter tous les arguments développés précédemment, ce serait maladroit et lourd de les résumer. Dans la conclusion, on doit donner une réponse à la fois synthétique et personnelle. (Académique, pas familière ou journalistique)

Il ne faut surtout pas utiliser la conclusion pour traiter rapidement ce qui aurait été oublié dans le développement, c’est trop tard !

 L’ouverture. Dans le 2 ème paragraphe, l’ouverture propose d’élargir ou de prolonger la discussion en indiquant le thème de réflexion qu’il est logique d’aborder après avoir traité le sujet.

Cette ouverture permet également de relativiser le développement : on a résolu un problème mais il en est d’autres qui appellent peut-être des réponses complémentaires.

Éviter de finir avec un point d’interrogation : on peut suggérer une nouvelle piste sans poser pour autant une question.

Huitième étape : aller plus loin

– Il faut enrichir ses connaissances

– Il faut s’approprier la méthodologie de la dissertation

– Des sujets d’examen sont disponibles dans des ouvrages ou sur Internet : s’entraîner en construisant des plans détaillés, en rédigeant des introductions et des conclusions

– Dans votre acquisition de connaissances, utiliser dictionnaires et manuels
