En s’appuyant sur le concept d’intersectionnalité, cet article vise à déterminer si : 1) les jeunes LGB (lesbiennes, gais, bisexuel-les) issus de l’immigration (soit les jeunes de « double minorité ») rapportent davantage de difficultés scolaires comparativement à ceux issus d’une seule minorité (sexuelle ou ethnoculturelle) ou d’aucune minorité; et 2) le fait d’avoir dévoilé son orientation sexuelle à la majorité de son réseau est associé à une meilleure adaptation scolaire chez les jeunes LGB issus de l’immigration. L’échantillon compte 5 561 étudiants de niveau postsecondaire (18 à 30 ans), provenant d’établissements québécois et répartis en quatre groupes : les jeunes d’aucune minorité (73,1 %), de simple minorité sexuelle (8,7 %), de simple minorité ethnoculturelle (16,8 %) et de double minorité (1,4 %). Ces jeunes ont rempli un questionnaire électronique (hiver 2017) permettant d’évaluer leur adaptation scolaire sous différents angles : l’adaptation sociale, l’adaptation académique, l’attachement envers l’établissement et les buts académiques. Des analyses de classes latentes ont permisd’identifier six profils d’étudiants en matière d’adaptation scolaire. Des analyses de régression logistique binaire et multinomiale contrôlant l’effet du genre, du niveau de scolarité des parents et du niveau de précarité financière ont ensuite montré que : a) les étudiants de double minorité sont moins nombreux à rapporter une expérience scolaire globalement positive que les étudiants non minoritaires ou de simple minorité; b) le fait d’avoir dévoilé son orientation sexuelle à la majorité de sonréseau est associé à une probabilité plus élevée d’avoir une expérience scolaire globalement positive chez les jeunes LGB issus de l’immigration.

La population étudiante en situation de handicap à l’enseignement supérieur a connu une forte croissance, accentuée par l’arrivée massive des étudiantes et étudiants en situation de handicap émergent (ESHE : troubles d’apprentissage, troubles de santé mentale et troubles du développement). S’inscrivant dans une perspective sociologique, cet article traite nommémentde l’accès aux ressources universitaires ainsi que des facteurs qui agissent sur l’accès des ESHE à la maîtrise et au doctorat. Il s’appuie sur une analyse secondaire d’une enquête canadienne. Les ESHE ont moins accès à certaines ressources universitaires, comparativement à leurs pairs présentant un handicap physique (ESHP) ou sans handicap (ESaH). Trois facteurs pouvant potentiellement faciliter (facteurs de conversion positifs) ou entraver (facteurs de conversion négatifs) l’accès aux ressources ont été considérés. Ainsi, le degré de satisfaction quant à la direction de recherche, le degré de satisfaction en ce qui touche les relations avec le personnel enseignant et le degré de satisfaction quant à l’information sur ladisponibilité du soutien financier favorisent l’accès aux ressources universitaires, et ce, pour toute la population étudiante.

Few studies have examined the contribution of individual psychological factors to long-term indicators of academic success.This study examines the influence of personality and individual difference factors in relation to retention. In this study, 290 Canadian undergraduate students completed measures of personality, resiliency, perfectionism, and trait Emotional Intelligence in the first semester of their first year, and enrolment status was collected at the end of each academic year for four years. Multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that only high school grade point average (GPA) and being male predicted a higher likelihood of withdrawing from the program or delaying degree completion, compared to those who completed. The need for future studies with larger samples and consideration of more complex relationships between factors is highlighted.

Devant le manque d’information formelle contribuant à cerner l’efficacité des centres d’aide disciplinaire au postsecondaire, on se questionne sur ce qui distingue les étudiants qui en utilisent les services de ceux qui ne les sollicitent pas. Dans l’objectif d’examiner l’efficacité potentielle de ces structures d’aide à la réussite, une exploration comparative des utilisateurs et des non-utilisateurs de centres d’aide en français (CAF) a été menée dans quatre établissements d’enseignement collégial. La méthode d’appariement cas-témoin a été appliquée de façon à optimiser le contrôle de six variables confondantes, déterminées par une analyse de régression linéaire. Ainsi, les analyses comparatives ont été conduites par des tests t pour groupes appariés. Les variables comparées touchent à la motivation relative aux services des CAF, à la peur du jugement négatif et à la performance aux cours de français. Les principaux résultats indiquent que les attentes d’intérêt suscitées par les activités déterminent la tendance à solliciter ceux-ci. Chez les utilisateurs, l’utilité attribuée aux services reçus est plus faible que celle à laquelle ils s’attendaient au départ. Néanmoins, à la fin du semestre, leurs performances aux cours de français sont plus élevées que celles de leurs pairs non-utilisateurs. Ces résultats sont discutés dans l’optique du besoin de rendre plus explicite l’efficacité des centres d’aide aux yeux des étudiants, et mènent à formuler des recommandations pra-tiques en ce sens. De nouvelles études devraient explorer l’efficacité de divers centres d’aide pédagogiques (disciplinaires ou multidisciplinaires) postsecondaires au Canada afin d’en optimiser le potentiel d’impact positif sur la réussite scolaire.

When the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching was established in 1905, universities in Canada and New-foundland were eligible for participation in a pension fund for faculty and grants to universities. Canadian universities were quick to seek access to the Carnegie pension plan and for support from the Corporation. Access to both programs came with strings attached, including recommendations of educational studies commissioned by the Foundation, six of which addressed Canadian higher education specifically. As attractive as the prospect of Carnegie support was, it posed a dilemma for many universities and self-regulated professions associated with them in regard of mandate and autonomy. This study investigates how Canadian universities and the professional societies associated with them responded to the studies, found ways to take advantage of the reports, or in some cases make compromises to manage the internal conflicts that arose from them, and finally their embryonic introduction of the concept planned systems of higher education.

Attempting to support student mental health, many Canadian universities have implemented a fall break with the assumption it would be helpful in alleviating students’ stress and anxiety. However, there is no baseline data regarding stress level or mental illness burden of students to understand its effectiveness. Using case study methodology with mixed methods, this research sought to appraise, given a lack of baseline data, the impact of a fall break on student mental health. While the surveys revealed that students overwhelmingly liked the break and perceived it to reduce their school related stress, the focus groups revealed key insights into understanding stress and coping among university students about how students like to de-stress that have practical implications for any policy aimed at promoting students’ mental wellness. This research offers practical policy suggestions to help post-secondary institutions determine whether a fall break week can be effective in addressing students’ stress and anxiety.

Many first-year university students experience stressors that impact their adjustment and well-being. Their help-seeking attitudes and preferred sources of support may be associated with various factors. The purpose of the present study was to (1) examine help-seeking preferences amongst first-year university students, (2) explore factors associated with students’ attitudes toward seeking mental health services, and (3) identify perceived barriers associated with accessing formal sources of support. First-year students at a Canadian university (N = 167) completed a survey assessing help-seeking attitudes and preferences, as well as challenges associated with seeking support. Participants also provided information about their perceived levels of social support, personality characteristics, and their tendency to experience positive and negative affect. Findings suggest that social support and negative affect were significantly associated with positive attitudes toward seeking mental health services. However, students were more inclined to rely on informal sources of support, such as family members and friends, compared to formal sources of support available through on- or off-campus mental health services. For thosestudents who are inclined to access formal mental health support, barriers may impede access to care. Perceived barriers include cost and concerns about the availability of services and their overall effectiveness. These findings call for the creation of more opportunities for on-campus informal support in addition to better access to on-campus mental health services.
