Abstract

Cette étude se penche sur les effets d'un programme expérimental qui porte sur la motivation des élèves-maîtres et l'image qu'ils ont d'eux-mêmes. Ce programme avait tout particulièrement pour but de mieux intégrer, dans la formation que reçoivent les futurs maîtres, théorie et pratique. Les résultats de l'étude démontrent que les élèves-maîtres qui ont participé à l'expérience étaient, de façon significative, plus motivés et avaient une image d'eux-mêmes plus positive que les élèves-maîtres d'un groupe témoin.
