Over the past 10-15 years, the epidemiological research literature on juvenile delinquency has suggested that there is an over-representation of males and Hispanics within the juvenile justice system, and a disproportionate number of youths having an IDEA disability, including emotional disability, learning disability, and mental retardation. In addition, juvenile delinquents tend to perform lower academically than their peers, come from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, drop out of school more often, and frequently come into contact with law enforcement agencies. Moreover, low academic achievement, male gender, and drop out contribute to the increased chances that adolescents will become involved in delinquent activities. Characteristics of juvenile delinquents also tend to be stable over time and resistant to most types of intervention.The purpose of the present study was to examine whether there were significantly greater percentages of school drop out in adjudicated versus non-adjudicated delinquent high school youths with and without an IDEA disability diagnosis. Significant differences between standardized test scores of those adjudicated and non-adjudicated youths who dropped out versus remained in school were also examined. Other variables studied in conjunction with these included gender, minority, and free/reduced lunch status.Chi-Square Tests of Independence revealed a significant association between adjudication and drop out, regardless of disability, gender, minority, or free/reduced lunch status. Chi-Square results also showed a significant association between adjudication and disability, but for non-drop out delinquent youths only. Drop out and disability was found to be significantly associated for males only.Univariate Analyses of Variance revealed significant differences in AIMS Reading standard scores between delinquents who had, versus had not, been identified as having a disability. Significant differences in reading scores were also found between those identified, versus not identified as SLD. Furthermore, an interaction effect between disability and minority status was present. Similar differences were found with respect to AIMS Math scores. Limitations and implications of findings as well as future research directions were discussed.

Le décrochage scolaire affecte non seulement l’avenir économique et le statut social de l’individu, mais représente aussi un grave handicap pour sa famille, ses enfants et son pays. Dans cette étude nous comparons le décrochage scolaire en Inde et en France, deux pays très différents, mais concernés par le décrochage scolaire, à des degrés divers. Au ch. 1 nous comparons la structure, l’histoire et le fonctionnement des systèmes éducatifs de la France et de l’Inde, sur quelques facteurs significatifs comme le taux d’inscription des élèves, la compétence de lecture, le statut économique des familles. Nous faisons un bref rappel du développement psychologique de l’adolescent et de son impact sur l’apprentissage.Le ch. 2 est consacré à l’étude du décrochage. Nous examinons les variations de sa définition selon les pays, ses causes externes (pauvreté, analphabétisme parental, environnement culturel) et internes (redoublement, échec scolaire), ses conséquences (chômage, troubles sociaux) et ses remédiations (veille par enquêtes, formation d’adultes, politiques éducatives). Dans le ch. 3, nous présentons les enquêtes que nous avons menées dans le collège Leï Garrus(Var) et l’école Lakshmipur Shamidji Seva Sangha (Lakshmipur), sur des élèves de 15-16ans, en empruntant la méthodologie des enquêtes PISA. Nous faisons le bilan des similitudes (échec en mathématiques, désintérêt pour la langue) et des différences (causes externes du décrochage, suivi extra-scolaire, poursuite d’études envisagée). Enfin, nous insistons sur les limites mais aussi la nécessité de l’approche comparative, en nous prononçant pour une perspective interculturelle de la recherche en éducation. / In last few decades priority has been given to prevention of school dropout which not only affects the future economic and social status of individual but also presents a huge problem for his family, his children and his country. In this study, we compare school drop in two countries, India and France, very different, but concerned with drop-out at various degrees.In chap. 1, we compare structure, history and functioning of education system in France and India, using significant factors like students’ enrolment, reading ability, economic status of families and resort to private tuition. We conclude with a brief reminder of the psychological development of adolescents and its impact on learning.Chapter 2 is devoted to the dropping out study. We examine the variations of its definition according to countries, its causes, external (dwelling place, cultural environment, parents’ illiteracy) and internal (basic skills deficiency, grade repetition, teacher expectation), its consequences (unemployment, illiteracy, decline of GDP, social climate disturbance) and its remedies (regular educational surveys, adult education, educational strategies).In ch. 3 we present the surveys we have carried out in collège Leï Garrus (Var) and Lakshmipur Shamidji Seva Sangha High school (Lakshmipur) with 15-16 aged students, on the basis of PISA questionnaires regarding basic skills and teacher-student relationship. We underline resemblances (failing in language and mathematics) and differences (drop out external causes, extra-school tuition). Finally, we emphasize the limits but also the need of the comparative approach, defending an intercultural perspective of education research.

Trata-se de pesquisa exploratória realizada em escolas municipais de ensino fundamental da Coordenadoria de Educação de Itaquera, zona leste do Município de São Paulo. O trabalho procura levantar e analisar as relações existentes entre o capital social e dois indicadores específicos de desempenho de tais instituições educacionais: evasão escolar e reprovação. O material foi coletado em questionários respondidos por diretoras (es) e coordenadoras pedagógicas de 19 unidades escolares. As análises permitiram o levantamento da dimensão de capital social percebida pelas (os) participantes e o cruzamento desses dados com índices de evasão escolar e reprovação nas unidades escolares. Com base nas referências teóricas fornecidas por Bourdieu, Loury, Coleman, Putnam, Evans, entre outros, o trabalho aponta para indícios de que maiores dimensões de capital social, nos tópicos de informação e comunicação, confiança e solidariedade e coesão e inclusão social, podem estar relacionados, de forma não determinante, a melhores desempenhos nas unidades escolares. / The is an exploratory research report about basic education in mayor schools at Itaquera Educational Coordination, East zone of São Paulo City, in Brazil. This stuff analyzes the relations between the social capital, school drop out and reproval. Directors and pedagogical coordinators\' from 19 schools have answered the questionnaires. Then, we noticed that the social capital dimension was related to evasion schools and reprovals throughout evaluations. On the basis of the theoretical references supplied by Bourdieu, Loury, Coleman, Putnam, Evans, among others, the stuff indicates that bigger dimensions of social capital in topics like information and communication, confidence and solidarity, cohesion and social inclusion can be related (non determinative way) improving betters performances at school units.

O caso de gestão estudado descreveu e discutiu o Programa Bolsa Família e as demais políticas de combate ao abandono escolar no Brasil e no Amazonas. Analisou os motivos do abandono escolar dos alunos beneficiários do Bolsa Família da Coordenadoria Distrital 6 e propôs ações, com a finalidade de auxiliar a redução do abandono na Coordenaria analisada. Os objetivos definidos para este estudo de pesquisa têm, por objetivo geral, contribuir com alternativas para a redução das taxas de abandono escolar da Coordenadoria Distrital 06, na prevenção ao abandono escolar das respectivas escolas que compõem o quadro. Além disso, elencamos como objetivos específicos: 1. Identificar as causas do abandono escolar dos alunos da Coordenadoria Distrital 06, verificando se os índices do abandono escolar são de alunos beneficiários do Programa Bolsa Família; 2) Analisar se o Programa Bolsa Família vem contribuindo na redução do abandono escolar; 3) Investigar a forma como as escolas implementam e monitoram a condicionalidade da presença nas escolas selecionadas pela pesquisa; 4) Sugerir possíveis soluções para a redução dos índices do abandono escolar das escolas da Coordenadoria Distrital 06. Para tanto, utilizaremos, como metodologia, a pesquisa bibliográfica, de campo, quantitativa e qualitativa, abordando os fundamentos do abandono escolar nas escolas estaduais da capital da Coordenadoria Distrital 6 do Ensino Fundamental, do 1º ao 9º ano. Além disso, serão propostas ações de prevenção à problemática, com foco nos alunos beneficiários do Programa Bolsa Família da referida unidade de ensino e como instrumento entrevista semiestruturada. / The following research was developed in the range of the Professional Master degree in Education Management and Evaluation (PPGP) of the Center of Public Policies and Evaluation of Education of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAED/UFJF). The management case studied described and discussed the Bolsa Família Program and other policies to combat school drop-out in Brazil and the state of Amazonas. It analyzed the reasons why students who benefit from the Bolsa Família Program drop out of school at the 6th District Coordination and proposed actions to help reduce drop-out in the Coordination analyzed. The objectives defined for this research study have, as a general objective, to contribute with alternatives for the reduction of school drop-out rates of the 6th District Coordination, in the prevention of dropping out of the respective schools in the picture. In addition, we set out specific objectives: 1. Identify the causes of school drop-out among students of the 6th District Coordination, verifying if the drop-out rates are students who are beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program; 2) Analyze whether the Bolsa Família Program has contributed to the reduction of school drop-out; 3) To analyze how schools implement and monitor the conditionality of attendance in the schools selected by the research; 4) To suggest possible solutions for the reduction of school drop-out rates of the 6th District Coordination schools. For this purpose, we will use as a methodology the bibliographical and field researches, as well as the quantitative and qualitative, addressing the principles of school drop-out in state schools in the capital of the 6th District Coordination of Elementary School, from 1st to 9th grade. In addition, actions will be proposed to prevent the problem, focusing on the beneficiary students of the Bolsa Família Program of the said unit of education and as a semistructured interview instrument.

Masters in Public Administration - MPA / Within the field of secondary education in South Africa there is currently a major crisis over learners’ poor academic achievement. This is a challenge to all roleplayers,especially the high failure and drop-out rates in Grades 10 and 11. In this study the problem of grade progression and promotion in Outcomes- Based Education (OBE) in a mixed low, middle and working-class school is addressed. The main question arising from this problem concerns the high promotion and low retention rates at the school. The central focus in this thesis is the understanding of grade progression and promotion on the part of Grade 10 educators. Thus this study investigates the implementation of grade progression and promotion, through observation as to how the actual practices and methods of educators and their Senior Management Team influence this process. Furthermore, the consequences for Grade 10 learners of the practices associated with grade progression and promotion are examined. This includes an analysis of educators’ opinions and how their practices of grade progression and promotion have affected or disadvantaged the learning process.This research is conceptualized in the domain of social, post-structural and constructivist theory, which provides a meaningful framework to help understand and explain educators’ multiple perceptions in the classroom. The study starts by exploring whether a poor socio-economic environment has a direct influence on activities in schools. This study also examines whether a poor socio-economic environment contributes to a dysfunctional situation in the classroom and school environment, which unintentionally influences the grade progression and promotion sessions. In addition, the study investigates and determines whether there is a disjuncture between policy (theory) and implementation (practice) when conducting grade progression and promotion. A qualitative research method was used in this study and a qualitative ethnographic design, influenced by an interpretivist framework, was adopted. Qualitative ethnographic techniques, such as observations, interviews and documents, were employed to collect relevant information for this study. Data was analyzed by using thematic narrative analysis to answer the dissertation questions. Ethical conduct and procedures were strictly observed.The results show that the socio-economic environment contributed to a dysfunctional condition in the school, which had a negative impact upon, and influenced the learning experience of, both educators and learners. The evidence revealed that the actual practices of educators and the school’s Senior Management Team during progression and promotion meetings were influenced by their subjective perceptions, attitudes and opinions. From this, the conclusion was reached that the progression, promotion or retention of learners resulted in positioning and labelling in the classroom, which might eventually lead to low motivation, weak performances and dropping-out. The significance of this study lies in the practical and academic value it holds for educators and other stakeholders. The findings, implications and recommendations can be used as a guide to provide solutions to problems and barriers which occur during grade progression and promotion in schools, and may offer opportunities for further investigation or study.

Unga Vuxna utanför arbete eller studier är ett fenomen som växer både nationellt- och internationellt vilket gör att det därmed krävs mer forskning för att skapa bättre åtgärder för dessa grupper. Denna studie har visat att konsekvenser som psykisk ohälsa i form av depression och svårigheter med att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden är förekommande konsekvenser för Unga vuxna utanför arbete eller studier. För denna studie har semistrukturerade intervjuer utförts där tematisering av ämnet har skett. Med hjälp av den metoden har studien kunnat fokusera på ett delområde, konsekvenser i och med att intervjufrågorna förblev de samma för alla tre intervjuerna har en jämförelse i analysen bland svaren kunnat ske i studien. Studiens tre teorier differential association, anomiteorin och stigma har möjliggjort en koppling till lett resultat och diskussion. Denna studie har även påvisat att ytterligare forskning är nödvändig för att få en ökad förståelse över detta fenomen samt för att möjliggöra individuella kartläggningar av barns behov för att sedan kunna tillsätta rätt åtgärd.

Au Québec, entre 2002-2003 et 2012-2013, le taux de sortie sans diplôme ni qualification en formation générale des jeunes aurait atteint une diminution de 6,9 points. Alors qu’il se situait à 22,2 % une décennie plus tôt, ce taux s’établissait à 15,3 % en 2012-2013 (MÉLS, 2014). Malgré cette diminution appréciable du taux annuel de décrochage, l’abandon des études avant l’obtention d’un diplôme d’études secondaires ou d’une qualification équivalente continue d’être une préoccupation importante dans le monde scolaire en raison des conséquences qui en émanent (MÉES, 2015). Qu’elles soient liées au jeune qualifié de décrocheur ou à la société, les études portant sur les conséquences s’attardent principalement aux problèmes économiques (participation moins active à la société de production), sanitaires (développement plus fréquent de problèmes physiques et de santé mentale) et sociaux (adaptation sociale déficitaire et déviance) qui découlent du décrochage scolaire (Janosz, 2000; Blaya, 2010). Le phénomène du décrochage scolaire est aussi étudié en fonction des normes transgressées. Qu’il soit question de la description typologique des jeunes à risque de décrocher, de l’étude des facteurs de risque de quitter prématurément l’école ou de l’institutionnalisation du discours sur le phénomène, le décrochage scolaire est analysé comme un geste inapproprié posé par un jeune qui ne répond pas positivement aux conventions sociales (Bernard, 2011). Le jeune ayant quitté prématurément l’école se retrouve ainsi automatiquement placé en situation de déviance par rapport à une norme qui valorise la diplomation et la poursuite des études. Les données statistiques et les écrits sur les conséquences liées au décrochage scolaire ou sur la déviance ne nous permettent cependant pas d’accéder au point de vue du jeune qualifié de décrocheur. C’est en raison de cette lacune que ce présent mémoire a sollicité la participation de jeunes ayant quitté prématurément l’école secondaire afin qu’ils se livrent sur leur expérience. En prenant appui sur l’interactionnisme symbolique, ce mémoire tente de comprendre comment est vécue la situation de décrochage scolaire en fonction de l’analyse que les participants font de leur expérience. Huit jeunes ont ainsi été invités à raconter, lors d’un entretien individuel de type « récit de vie », leurs perceptions quant à la situation de décrochage qui leur est attribuée et quant aux conséquences qu’ils en dégagent. L’analyse des différents discours a permis de faire ressortir que les participants ont rencontré de nombreuses adversités en amont de leur fréquentation scolaire qui ont créé des besoins spécifiques chez eux. Une inadéquation sévère entre leurs besoins personnels et ceux de l’institution scolaire serait un des éléments déclencheurs de l’arrêt prématuré de leurs études. Une inadéquation qui les exclut du système scolaire et qui les pousse à rejeter l’école à force d’y vivre des situations insupportables. Leurs besoins n’atteignant pas les objectifs fixés par l’école, les jeunes ont perdu l’espoir de trouver un sens à leurs études. Aujourd’hui, les participants à cette étude prennent conscience des conséquences qu’ils ont vécues ou qu’ils continuent de vivre depuis leur sortie de l’école. Ils rencontreraient des lacunes sur le savoir et le savoir-faire, auraient accumulé un déficit de motivation, présenteraient une faible estime de soi, vivraient des situations de stigmatisation et de marginalisation, éprouveraient des difficultés d’intégration sociale et socioprofessionnelle et auraient développé un manque de confiance en l’avenir. / In Quebec, between 2002-2003 and 2012-2013, the rate of teenagers leaving high school without the full completion of the general program has dropped by 6.9 points. Presenting itself to be 22.2% a decade ago, it stood at 15.3% in 2012-2013 (MÉLS, 2014). Despite a considerable decrease in the annual dropout rate, this phenomenon remains an important preoccupation in education because of its numerous consequences for the teenager and society (MÉES, 2015). Studies on this matter have identified consequences on several levels, being economical (less active in society’s production), sanitary (more frequent development of physical and mental health problems) and social (poor social adaptation and deviance) (Blaya, 2010; Janosz, 2000). The phenomenon of early school leaving is also studied as a transgression of social norms. Wether it’s studies on the typological description of at risk youth, the risk factors of dropping out or the institutionalized speech on the matter, from this point of view, dropping out is analysed as an inacceptable response to social conventions (Bernard, 2011). Therefore, the teenager who quits school prematurely is automatically considered a deviant since his actions have disobeyed social norms. Many studies on the consequences of this phenomenon as well as it’s statistical data are present in the literature, but unfortunately, the point of view of teenagers labeled as dropouts is not brought forward. In light of this observation, this thesis solicited the participation of teenagers who left high school prematurely to offer them the space to describe their experience. Based on symbolic interactionism, this thesis tries to understand the experience of dropping out according to the teenager’s point of view. In an individual interview using a life narrative method, eight teenagers were invited to deliver their perception on the dropout label which they were attributed and the consequences that resulted. The analysis of the participant’s narratives highlight the numerous adversities they went through during their school years and the individualized needs that resulted. Their narratives show the severe inadequate response by the school institution to their individual needs as a trigger to their premature leave. Living through frequent unbearable situations due to this inadequate response pushed them to be excluded from the school system and to reject school. Unfortunately, the participant's needs were not part of the school’s fixed objectives leaving them to lose hope in finding a sense to their schooling. The participants of this study now realise the consequences they have lived and live to this day since they quit school. They present shortcomings in their knowledge, an accumulated lack of motivation, poor self-esteem, situations of stigmatisation and marginalisation, difficulties integrating socially and professionally and finally, they have developed a lack of confidence in what their future holds.

Afin d’enrichir les outils en matière de solution au décrochage scolaire, cette recherche s’intéresse à l’accompagnement de l’élève et à la réussite au sein de l’école. Elle se déroule dans le cadre de la formation générale des adultes (FGA) âgés de 16 à 24 ans et fréquentant les centres d’éducation des adultes du Québec (CÉA). L’objectif général est de décrire ce qui se fait comme pratiques d’accompagnement de l’élève pour la réussite tout en identifiant les caractéristiques et les objectifs de ces pratiques. Pour ce faire, trois questions de recherche ont été étudiées à savoir : 1) que se fait-il comme pratiques d’accompagnement en FGA, 2) quels sont les objectifs poursuivis par ces pratiques et, enfin, 3) quelles sont les caractéristiques de ces pratiques? Cette étude s’appuie sur l’approche de la sociologie de l'éducation de François Dubet (1994) et propose d’examiner trois dimensions (pédagogique, personnelle et sociale) et sept formes de pratiques d’accompagnement de l’élève : le tutorat, le counseling, le compagnonnage, l’entraide par les pairs, le mentorat, le cybermentorat et les pratiques pédagogiques des enseignants. La démarche étant d’établir un ensemble de pratiques d’accompagnement de l’élève comme il se présente dans le milieu, puisque toutes les pratiques d'accompagnement n’avaient pas été, avant notre recherche, répertoriées en tant que telles. Les résultats obtenus permettent de constater la présence d’un déploiement important de plusieurs pratiques d’accompagnement de l’élève en FGA incluant les pratiques pédagogiques des enseignants. En effet, le tutorat et le counseling sont deux pratiques qui obtiennent des scores importants. De plus, il aura été possible de documenter de façon assez complète les pratiques pédagogiques des enseignantes dites « d’accompagnement de l’élève » et de comprendre l’articulation de l’ensemble de ces pratiques avec la réussite de l’élève au sein de l’école. Au terme de cette recherche, deux sources de connaissances ont été mises en évidence. D’abord, la première découle des composantes issues du modèle théorique à l’étude, ensuite, la deuxième concerne l’explicitation des pratiques pédagogiques des enseignants. Dans les deux cas, les résultats, ainsi que les analyses, révèlent le caractère central de la dimension pédagogique dans l’accompagnement de l’élève en FGA, ce qui nous renvoie à l’importante contribution, en matière d’accompagnement de l’élève en FGA, de l’enseignant, puisque ce dernier inclut l’accompagnement de l’élève dans l’acte même d’enseigner. / With a view to developing and refining the tools needed to better solve the problem of school drop-out rates, this research interests itself in the accompaniment of the student and the resulting success in the school. It is addressed to the 16 to 24 year old students that are attending Québec’s FGA Education Centres. The general objective is describing what practices are used to accompany the student toward success while also identifying and describing the characteristics and objectives of said practices. In order to achieve this goal, three research questions have been studied, namely: 1) what are the accompaniment methods used in FGA; 2) what are the objectives sought with the use of these methods, and; 3) what are the characteristics of these methods? This research leans on the approach of sociology of education developed by François Dubet (1994), and proposes to examine three dimensions (pedagogical, personal, and social) as well as seven methods of student accompaniment: tutoring, counselling, pair work, assistance between peers, mentoring, cyber-mentoring, and teacher pedagogical methods. The undertaking is aimed at establishing a group of accompaniment practices for the student in his environment. All of these practices, prior to our research, had never been tabulated. The results obtained permit us to observe an important deployment of several accompaniment methods in use in FGA, including the teachers’ own pedagogical methods. In fact, tutoring and counselling are two methods that score high marks. In addition, this research has helped make it possible to document in a rather complete manner the teachers’ pedagogical methods in said student accompaniment, and to understand the dynamics of these methods in student successes at school. Upon the completion of this research, two sources of knowledge stand out. The first one emanates from the components of the theoretical model presently being studied, while the second relates to the specificity of the teachers’ pedagogical methods. In both cases the results, as well as the analyses, reveal the importance of the pedagogical dimension with respect to accompanying the FGA student, which in turn leads us back to the important contribution made by the teacher in student accompaniment in FGA, as in fact the teacher includes student accompaniment in the actual practice of teaching.
