  • The Quebec Education Program (QEP) Makes up the Core Curriculum for Elementary and Secondary School Students
    The Quebec History and Citizenship Education Curriculum and the Benchmarks of Historical Thinking (BHT): Convergence and Divergence David Lefrancois and Stephanie Demers The Quebec Education Program (QEP) makes up the core curriculum for elementary and secondary school students. It is divided according to levels (elementary and secondary), then according to cycles. Consequently, there is one elementary curriculum and two secondary curricula (one for the first cycle – grades seven and eight, known as secondary one and two, and another for the second cycle, grades nine through eleven, known as secondary three to five). In terms of structure and prescriptions, differences between the two secondary school curricula are minor. The only significant differences relate to content: the social phenomena which are studied change from one cycle to the next. The QEP structures the aims, objects and content of the Quebec history program. The Benchmarks of Historical Thinking (BHT), on the other hand, are not part of a curriculum, but rather make up a series of key reference points for evaluating what students should be able to accomplish in learning history. Collectively, they represent structural, cognitive concepts of historical thinking. Examples of tasks centred on the Benchmarks concepts illustrate what to expect of students putting them into practice. 1. Conceptions of history and the purpose of teaching history There exists some convergence in the aims put forth by the QEP and that of the BHT, particularly in regards to students building their identity and worldview, as well as in the development of skills or intellectual and critical competencies. Where these two programs diverge is in the origins of their theoretical foundations.

  • Quebec Education: the Unfinished Revolution
    Norman Henchty Quebec Education: The Unfinished Revolution Profound changes have taken place in the Province of Quebec since 1960. The period is described as the Quiet Revo­ lution and like all genuine revolutions change penetrated deeply into every aspect of the society - the identity, the culture, the institutions, and the people. The French-speaking Quebecer was once defined by his attachment to tradition, his allegiance to the Church, his elitist view of society, his distrust of change, and his detachment from the economic life of the continent. But a new definition has been emerging over the last decade: concern for the present, adherence to a secular and political ethic, an egalitarian view of society, a commit­ ment to change, an engagement in the technology and econ­ omics of the post-industrial state. As the identity of the French Quebecer alters, the tradi­ tional assumptions on which the English Quebecer has oper­ ated no longer hold. His economic and social cocoon has been broken open and he finds himself a member of a minority group, a stranger in a strange land. His identity is trans­ formed and in an ironic way he exchanges places with the French: it is now the English Quebecer who worries about the survival of his culture and language, who seeks his security in tradition, who stands on his constitutional rights. As identities change, so do cultures and institutions. Churches and convents, once the citadels of power, become shrines of a history turned aside; the theology and history of the classical college become the sociology and informatique of the Cegeps; the triumvirate of doctor-lawyer-priest becomes that of bureaucrat-accountant-animateur .

  • Can the Reggio Emilia Approach Help with the Implementation of the New Quebec Curriculum?
    ADAPTING TO CHANGE: CAN THE REGGIO EMILIA APPROACH HELP WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW QUEBEC CURRICULUM? PAULINE MESHER & HELEN AMORIGGI McGiII University ABSTRACT. Educators in Quebec are faced with implementation of a curricu­ lum reform, which places particular emphasis on young children's learning. One of the most highly regarded approaches to early childhood education is the Reggio Emilia approach, which began in Italy after the Second World War. Documentation of the success of this approach reveals imaginative and creative work produced by three-, four- and five-year-old children. The Reggio Emilia approach has significant similarities to the new Quebec curriculum. These include building on children's previous experiences; allowing children to set goals for themselves and decide on choice of projects; and drawing on a variety of 'languages' to represent children's ideas (e.g. artistic, verbal, or symbolic). In this article, we explore three relevant components of the Reggio Emilia approach which could assist in the impIe­ mentation of the new Quebec curriculum: 1) the environment, 2) project­ based learning, and 3) documentation. AJUSTEMENT AU CHANGEMENT: LA DÉMARCHE DE REGGIO EMILIA PEUT-ELLE CONTRIBUER À LA MISE EN ŒUVRE DU NOUVEAU CURSUS DU QUÉBEC? RÉSUMÉ. Les éducateurs du Québec sont tenus de mettre en œuvre une réforme du programme scolaire qui attache plus d'importance à l'apprentissage des jeunes enfants. L'une des méthodes d'enseignement préscolaire particulièrement prisées est la méthode de Reggio Emilia, qui a débuté en Italie après la Deuxième guerre mondiale. Le succès de cette méthode est attesté par des œuvres imaginatives et créatives conçues par des enfants de trois, quatre et cinq ans.

  • Policy on Educational Success a Love of Learning, a Chance to Succeed
    POLICY ON EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS A LOVE OF LEARNING, A CHANCE TO SUCCEED POLICY ON EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS A LOVE OF LEARNING, A CHANCE TO SUCCEED This document is available on the Ministère’s website at education.gouv.qc.ca. © Gouvernement du Québec Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur ISBN 978-2-550-78835-5 (version imprimée) ISBN 978-2-550-78836-2 (PDF) (English edition: ISBN 978-2-550-78838-6) Legal deposit – Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER In Québec, education is a priority. Indeed, it is the key required to build a more prosperous and innovative society. In a changing world, it is a quintessential asset needed to meet challenges associated with all sectors of activity, to ensure the well-being of the population and to increase prosperity both individually and as a society. However, our education system, like our society, must adapt to the changes that each new generation brings. To provide Québec with an educational model for the 21st century, our government has toiled daily to more effectively manage our public finances and develop our economy. This has given us much greater latitude to make substantial new investments in school renovations and to offer the best possible services to our young people, both today and in the future. We have also embarked on a major review process centred on the idea of educational success. What must we do, we asked, to ensure that each young person has the means to develop his or her full potential in school and, subsequently, to contribute fully to our society? During the public consultations held in the fall of 2016, everyone had an opportunity to express their views on the matter.

  • Theory, History, and Practice of Education: Fin De Siècle and a New Beginning
    Reginald Edwards McGill University Theory, History, and Practice of Education: Fin de siècle and a new beginning Abstract The history and development of normal schools is traced through a summary of events that transpired in France, the United States, Britain, and Canada. The author examines the roots of several systems ofteacher training and identifies specifie institutions (normal schools) that played an important role in bringing to McGill University key persons interested in the training of teachers. Much of the article is devoted to linking the diverse influences that culminated in the establishment of the McGill Normal School, the Macdonald CollegeforTeachers, and the Macdonald Chair ofEducation. Whilethearticle outlines the history of McGill's role in teacher education in Quebec and Canada, it also gives a broad perspective on the history of normal schools in Europe and North America, and their influences on teacher education today. Résumé L'histoire et le développement des écoles normales est retracée par un résumé des événements qui se sont produits en France, aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne et au Canada. L'auteur analyse les racines de plusieurs systèmes de formation des maîtres et se penche sur certains établissements (écoles normales) qui ont contribué àfaire venir à l'Université McGill des personnes clés s'intéressant à la formation des maîtres. Une bonne part de l'article est consacré aux diverses influences qui ont abouti à la création de la McGill Normal School, du Macdonald Collegefor Teachers et de la Chaire Macdonald des sciences de l'éducation. Si l'auteur dresse l'historique du rôle joué par McGill dans laformation des maîtres au Québec et au Canada, il propose une vue d'ensemble plus étendue de l'historique des écoles normales en Europe et en Amérique du Nord et de leurs incidences sur laformation des maîtres telle qu'elle est dispensée aujourd'hui.

  • Principles of Bilingual Education in the 1920S: the Imperial Education Conferences and French-English Schooling in Alberta
    Principles of Bilingual Education in the 1920s: The Imperial Education Conferences and French-English Schooling in Alberta by Anne-Marie Lizaire-Szostak A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Administration and Leadership Department of Educational Policy Studies University of Alberta © Anne-Marie Lizaire-Szostak, 2018 Abstract French Immersion and Francophone education in Alberta are both examples of publicly funded French-English bilingual education since the 1970s and 1980s. To better understand French Immersion in Alberta today, as well as the basis of calls to recognize it as rights-based education, it is important to understand how bilingual education evolved during the early years in this province. In this historical research dissertation, bilingual education and policy formation in Alberta are examined in the context of the burgeoning provincial society, within a British dominion, at a time when English liberalism was beginning to recognize national minorities and the Empire was transforming into the Commonwealth. This case study is based on document analysis of reports from the Imperial Education Conferences, especially that of 1923, which promoted bilingual education. The conceptual framework is informed by principles of interpretive historical sociology, drawing upon Kymlicka’s (1995/2000) liberal theoretical argument of national minority rights based on equality. Bilingual education was presented as a parental right at the Imperial Education Conferences
