L'influence de certaines composantes de la motivation sur les probabilités de réussite scolaire en mathématiques chez des enfants immigrants chinois provenant de diverses régions

De nombreuses recherches (Pyle, 1918; Graham, 1926; Sandiford et Kerr, 1926; Lesser, Fifer et Clark, 1965; Vernon, 1982; voir Chan et Vemon, 1988) ont montré que les immigrants chinois ont de meilleures performances en mathématiques qu'en lettres (langues et sciences humaines dans le système nord-américain), et que leurs performances en mathématiques sont également meilleures que celles des nord Américains non-chinois. La plupart de ces recherches ont essayé d'expliquer cette performance par l'existence d'une différence du rapport à l'environnement spatial chez des Chinois (Gwiazda, Birch et Held, 1981; in Pêcheux, 1990), par l'impact de l'apprentissage précoce des particularités propres à l'écriture et aux structures des langues asiatiques (Hatta, 1978 et 1981; Nomura, 1981; Akiyama, Takei et Saito, 1982; Chan et Vernon, 1988; Iwawaki et Vernon, 1988), ou bien par la génétique (Gesell,1934; voir Eggen et Kauchak, 1992). Pour notre part, nous croyons que la motivation par rapport à l'apprentissage privilégiée de certaines matières forme une cause importante de ces différences. Ainsi, la présente recherche a pour but d'examiner l'influence de certaines composantes de la motivation sur la performance et la réussite scolaire en mathématiques chez des enfants immigrants chinois.
