Citizenship Education and Youth Politicization in Quebec: Teacher Perspectives (vol. 46, no. 3) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Alexandre Fortier-Chouinard Corporate author: Université de Montréal. Faculté des sciences de l’éducation Civic education classes generally have a positive impact on political knowledge and citizen involvement. In Quebec, the mandatory History and citizenship education class, almost unstudied thus far, was recently replaced by a History of Quebec and Canada class in secondary 3 and 4. 14 interviewed History and citizenship education teachers in secondary 4 believe that these courses improve some indicators of students’ politicization but not necessarily future turnout, and that civic education takes too little space in the curriculum. An open classroom climate, which literature has found to have a positive impact on voting, seems to be absent from their teaching. Éducation à la citoyenneté et politisation des jeunes au Québec: Perspectives d’enseignant⋅e⋅s (vol. 46, no. 3) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Alexandre Fortier-Chouinard Corporate author: Université de Montréal. Faculté des sciences de l’éducation Les cours d’éducation citoyenne permettent généralement d’augmenter les connaissances politiques et l’engagement citoyen. Au Québec, le cours obligatoire Histoire et éducation à la citoyenneté, peu étudié jusqu’ici, a récemment été remplacé par le cours Histoire du Québec et du Canada s’adressant aux élèves de troisième et de quatrième secondaire. Quatorze enseignant⋅e⋅s d’histoire de quatrième secondaire interrogé⋅e⋅s croient que les deux cours augmentent certains indicateurs de politisation, sans grand impact sur le taux de vote, mais qu’ils n’accordent pas suffisamment de place à l’éducation citoyenne. En effet, leur enseignement semble dénué du climat de classe ouvert et des approches pédagogiques dont les écrits scientifiques ont montré l’effet positif sur la participation électorale des jeunes adultes.

Anti-racist, Inclusive and Rights Education in the Development of Professional Competencies for School Staff and Student Abilities (Éthique en éducation et en formation; no. 3) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Maryse Potvin Corporate author: Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) This article examines the differences and convergences that emerge from the major theoretical trends in the area of education for ethnocultural (inter/multicultural, anti-racist/critical, civic, inclusive) diversity regarding the professional skills school personnel must acquire to achieve the major objectives of equity, effectiveness of rights, harmonious living and the development of students’ capabilities. The article is based on a review of the national and international literature, which aimed to identify the skills (knowledge, expertise, soft skills) that are essential for knowing how to act in the context of diversity and that, according to theoreticians, should be developed in all teacher training programs. These issues are discussed from a crosscutting perspective rather than from a disciplinary angle related to the Quebec curriculum (ethics and religious culture, history and education for citizenship). The article begins by providing some background on these trends in order to identify their common objectives and convergence toward an integrated and inclusive global approach. It then examines two objectives supported by all theoreticians in terms of the core professional skills needed by school personnel for developing students’ capabilities: 1) taking into account the realities, needs and rights of students, particularly those in minority or vulnerable groups, and 2) preparing students to live together in a pluralistic and democratic society. As well, it identifies the key challenges involved in the consideration and implementation of these two goals.
