Educational Practices and Policies

S’inspirant d’une approche constructiviste et interactionniste et se servant d’une methode de type qualitatif, cette recherche presente les resultats d’entrevues avec des membres de la communaute etudiante de quatre ecoles specialisees en “raccrochage scolaire” au Quebec. Elle fait ressortir comment de jeunes adultes, issus de milieux socio-economiques modestes, voient toute possibilite de reussite sociale bloquee et reviennent tenter leur chance a l’ecole. Elle montre que, pour assurer la reussite scolaire, le personnel des ecoles a developpe des pratiques et mis au point des interventions axees d’abord sur la reussite educative. Drawing its inspiration from a constructionist and interactionist approach, and using qualitative methodology, this research presents the results of interviews with students in four Quebec schools specializing in dropout recovery. We show how young adults from modest socioeconomic backgrounds see all possibility of success in society blocked and return to try their luck at school again. We point out that, to ensure school success, staff at the schools have developed approaches and worked out interventions that focus primarily on educational success, that is, achieving the transmission of values, behaviours, and attitudes.
