Cette recherche analyse les attitudes des enseignants envers les eleves en difficulte scolaire. La cueillette des donnees s’est effectuee dans la region de la Mauricie aupres de 1 164 eleves de niveau primaire et secondaire aupres de qui intervenaient 49 enseignants. Les variables independantes qui concernent les enseignants, sont: le sexe, l’âge et le sentiment de responsabilite. Celles qui concernent les eleves sont: le statut scolaire de l’eleve (en difficulte scolaire [DS] ou ordinaire [ORD]), l’âge et le type d’eleves selon les categories de Silberman. La variable dependante est l’attitude de l’enseignant vis-a-vis de l’eleve. Les resultats demontrent que les enseignants ont des attitudes moins positives envers les eleves DS qu’envers les eleves ORD, que le sentiment de responsabilite de l’enseignant envers le succes des eleves joue un role important dans les attitudes. Ces dernieres sont aussi en relation avec le sexe des eleves et le type d’eleves selon les quatre categories de Silberman (attachant, preoccupant, indifferent et rejete). Our research analyzes teacher attitudes toward students in academic difficulty. The sample consisted of 1,164 primary and secondary students and their 49 teachers in the Mauricie area. Independent variables for teachers were sex, age, and attitude of responsability; for students, academic standing (in difficulty, DS; without, ORD), age, and “type of student” according to Silberman’s four categories (likeable, worrisome, indifferent, and rejected). The dependant variable was teacher attitude toward the student. Our results show that teachers have less positive attitudes toward students in difficulty, and that these attitudes are significantly affected both by teachers’ sense of responsibility for student success, and by student sex and “type.”
