NOTICE – The Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) was established on June 1, 2024, in accordance with the Act to amend the Act respecting the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation with respect to research. The Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT), the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) have since been regrouped into the new FRQ, which continues their existence. The rights and obligations of the FRQNT, FRQS and FRQSC have become those of the FRQ; activities continue as usual.

Please note that if you come across an old name or logo of one of the Fonds de recherche du Québec in the program rules or on the website, it should now read as follows:

  • The FRQNT becomes the Nature et technologies sector;
  • The FRQS becomes the Santé sector;
  • The FRQSC becomes the Société et culture sector.

Thank you for your understanding.

Back to stories & reports

Students with behavioural problems or disorders are difficult to integrate into regular classes.

These students’ behaviour is a major source of stress for teachers and has a negative impact on the teaching and learning time of the other students. Research shows that a lack of training and support for teachers can lead them to use negative strategies with these students and that the use of such strategies is associated with higher teacher stress and increased behavioural problems on the part of the students.

The goal of this research was to evaluate the impact of ACES (Accompagnement Collaborative des Enseignants du Secondaire).

The goal of this research was to evaluate the impact of ACES (Accompagnement Collaborative des Enseignants du Secondaire), a training program for high school teachers aimed at facilitating the educational integration of students with special needs. Offered individually or in groups, the program was well received by all stakeholders and had a positive impact on teachers, students and the classroom climate. The program positively influenced teachers’ attitudes towards their students, their understanding of behavioural disorders, their use of positive and proactive intervention strategies, and the student-teacher relationship.

Teachers who took part in the program had a significantly lower level of teaching stress than those in the control groups. While little difference was observed between the two versions of the program, the group training was more popular with all parties concerned.
