Résumé

Les comportments sociaux de plus de 2000 enfants de maternelle sont évalués par deux adultes, soit l'éducatrice et la mére (ou la personne qui la remplace). Les indices d'inadaptation retenus sont l'agressivité, le retrait, et l'absence de comportements prosociaux. Le présent article traite des associations possibles entre l'attitude pédagogique de l'éducatrice sur un continuum autonomie-contrmle et la présence dans sa classe d'enfants aux comportements aberrants sur le plan social. Tous les sujects éducatirices se situent plus près du pmle autonomie que du pmle contrmle. Il ressort qu'une attitude moins autonomiste de la part de l'enseignante est associée à la présence d'èlèves jugés agressifs-hyperactifs et ce, particulièrement dans les écoles de statut socio-économique faible ou élevé. Aucune association n'est relevée entre l'attitude de l'éducatrice et la présence dans sa classe d'enfants jugés anxieux ou non prosociaux. Les resultats sont présentés et analysés sous les traits d'une étude épidèmiologique.

Abstract

Measures of association were presented for teachers' orientation toward control versus autonomy and kindergarten children's aberrant social behaviour (N = 2,048). Children's social behaviour was assessed by parent and teacher on three dimensions: aggressive, withdrawn, and prosocial behaviour. All teachers score on the autonomy side of the scale. Aggressive boys and girls were found mostly in classes with a weak autonomy orientation. This association between high aggressive behaviours and weak autonomy-oriented teachers was significant only for lower and upper school socioeconomic strata. No association was found between teachers' orientation and aberrant anxiety or non prosociality scores. Results of this epidemiologic research were discussed and orientations for future investigations were underlined.
