Selon des études américaines et réalisées au Canada anglais, les écarts au chapitre du rendement scolaire se creusent durant la période des vacances estivales lorsque les élèves ne fréquentent pas l’école. Néanmoins, les interventions scolaires en littératie peuvent réduire ces écarts. Le présent article présente les résultats d’une étude quasi expérimentale, effectuée dans huit conseils scolaires de district de langue française en Ontario, auprès de 682 élèves de la première à la troisième année en 2010, 2011 et 2012. Nous avons comparé la progression des résultats des tests en lecture de 361 participants aux programmes d’apprentissage pendant l’été à ceux des 321 élèves du groupe témoin entre juin et septembre. Les participants au programme d’apprentissage pendant l’été avaient au départ des résultats en lecture et résultats scolaires plus faibles, et provenaient majoritairement de milieux socio-économiques défavorisés. Néanmoins, les programmes d’apprentissage pendant l’été ont réduit les écarts préexistants entre les deux groupes. L’ampleur de l’effet d’une variété de modèles d’analyses de régression multivariées et de modèles d’appariement des coefficients de propension ont varié de 0,32 à 0,58. Ces résultats représentent un effet considérable dans le contexte de l’éducation au niveau primaire et des études sur les programmes d’apprentissage pendant l’été. Les effets sont plus importants pour les élèves dont les parents ne parlent pas exclusivement le français à la maison. Notre article applique la théorie sur les opportunités d’apprentissage au contexte des élèves dits « non traditionnels » dans les écoles de langue française en Ontario.References
