2 - Sportifs de haut niveau et double projet : entre bonnes intentions et faisabilité
While the dual project, that is to say, the fact of twin high-level sporting career and academic and/or professional formation, seems to be a priority in political discourse, its implementation remains problematic in many respects.

3 - Évaluation des impacts du programme d’intervention l’Allié : une approche multimodale pour remédier aux difficultés de comportement et prévenir la violence en milieu scolaire
This article presents the impacts results of the Ally program, aimed at 8-12 year old children who present with behavioural difficulties in school. The short term goal of the program is to improve upon, or to avoid worsening of individual behavioural difficulties, while the long term goal is to prevent violence within the school setting. The program consists of two complementary components: 1- a child component designed to reinforce the learning of appropriate social behaviours, as well as appropriate means for conflict resolution; 2- a parent component designed to strengthen parenting and educational practices. The program was implemented in 6 schools in the Montreal region, with 184 children presenting behavioural disorders participating (124 boys and 60 girls). The program was evaluated using a quasi-experimental design including a control group. The impact assessment was conducted by teachers, professional staff within the school, and peers in the same class as the participating students, as well as by parents of students participating in the program. Following one year of program implementation, the results support the hypothesis that students who participate in the Ally program will be successful in attaining gains in their socio-cognitive and behavioural skill set.

This article is a study of the way 697 6-8 year-olds in 22 French primary schools perceive their school climate and their own wellbeing. The findings show that the pupils have a positive view of their schools: most pupils feel comfortable at school, and only a small number do not. This feeling of wellbeing is linked to the quality of their social relationships and the milieu conditions. Educational practices and teacher education are also found to have a positive impact on this.
