Étude du lien entre la collaboration enseignant-technicien en éducation spécialisée et l'adaptation sociale en classe des élèves ayant un trouble du comportement
In specialized classrooms for students showing behavioural disorders, the teacher and the paraeducator are encouraged to work together in collaboration so they can support the social and scholar adaptation of the students with whom they strive everyday. However, despite the numerous advantages of working together for the success of the student, the interprofessional collaboration comprise a lot of challenges which, if they are not took up professionally, can affect the students. The goal of the research is to verify if there’s a link between the quality of the collaboration of those professionals and the social adaptation in specialized classroom of the students with behavioural disorders. A methodology based on a correlational approach has been used. Teachers responsible of this type of classes completed a questionnaire to evaluate the social adaptation of their students while paraeducators filled one to qualify the collaboration established in their educational duo. In total, 71 of these duos coming from 9 schools of the greater Montreal have participated to this study. Although the quality of the collaboration varies in a significant way depending on the professional duos, the results do not show any relation with the quality of the social adaptation of the students with whom they intervened. Therefore, according to this research, there is not significant link between the social adaptation of the student in class and the collaboration of the teacher and the paraeducator. Those results, opposite to our starting hypothesis, are discussed in the light of the scientific literature on this subject. The strength, the limits and the considerations for further research are also discussed.
