Résumé

Cette recherche sur l'implantation de programmes d'études a porté sur les changements de comportement observés chez des enseignants et des directeurs d'école, tels que ces personnes les ont elles-mêmes notés, entre 1982 et 1985 durant l'implantation en Ontario de certaines lois spéciales sur l'éducation. Au nombre des comportements étudiés figuraient l'identification des problèmes des élèves ayant des besoins spéciaux, et leur classification dans le système d'enseignement, la planification des programmes, leur modification et leurs progrès, les communications et l'évaluation des services. Les changements ont été documentés par profils; les explications et interprétations proposées dans cet article sont tirées des constatations faites.
