Apprendre avec le coeur : les émotions dans la formation enseignante Faut-il former les enseignants afin qu'ils cherchent à diminuer les émotions négatives de leurs élèves ou qu'ils leur apprennent à renforcer leurs émotions positives ? Should teachers be trained to reduce students' negative emotions or to teach them how to strengthen their positive emotions?
Cet article propose une analyse des attitudes socio-affectives des filles et des garçons face à leurs apprentissages en mathématiques durant leur scolarité post-obligatoire (gymnase). Par le biais d’un questionnaire auto-rapporté évaluant différentes perceptions qu’ont les élèves dans cette discipline (utilité perçue, sentiment de compétence, contrôlabilité), leurs affects (positifs, négatifs, ainsi que le sentiment de pouvoir les réguler), mais également la présence chez eux du stéréotype de masculinité des maths, nous avons pu dégager six profils caractéristiques. Ces derniers sont non seulement répartis inéquitablement selon le genre mais présentent des différences en termes d’investissement. De tels résultats questionnent sur l’impact des attitudes sur la motivation et les résultats des élèves (notamment les cercles vicieux qui s’instaurent), mais surtout ensuite sur l’orientation professionnelle de ces adolescents aux portes des universités et hautes écoles.
Self-efficacy beliefs in behavior management (SEBiBM) is a key issue for teachers, while emotional competence is a major contributor to professional success and sustainability in this profession. The investigation of the multifaceted nature of these two constructs may be important in order to take a step toward understanding which emotional competence could foster specific aspects of SEBiBM. To explore this issue, elementary school teachers (N = 121, 1st-4th grades) answered the Profile of Emotional Competence, which comprises 12 scores of emotional competencies, and a four-dimensional self-efficacy scale for behavior management in the classroom. Results indicate that intrapersonal emotional competencies, as compared to interpersonal competencies, play a major role regarding self-efficacy beliefs. In particular, multiple regression analyses revealed that higher identification and understanding of personal emotions were associated with better perceived self-efficacy on two aspects of SEBiBM. In addition, using other’s emotions predicted proactive involvement of the pupil’s parent or caregiver. Results are discussed in terms of their contribution to research in educational sciences and in teacher education, particularly with respect to teachers’ sustainability in the profession.
