Title |
Student Disengagement in English-Speaking Montréal
|
Abstract |
The authors discuss how student disengagement is conceptualized by English-speaking youth attending English urban public schools in Montreal. School dropout is theorized as being a culminating event in a process of school disengagement. Using two qualitative methods (maps and interviews) in a grounded theory approach, the authors present a theory of disengagement that is supported by existing literature in student engagement and school dropout. Student disengagement is framed from a socio-ecological perspective in a move away from its predominant conceptualization as an individual trait. In doing so, the authors highlight some issues of urban education in Montreal, addressing such themes as inequity, low-income status, experiences of failure and the pass/fail paradigm, the elementary/secondary school transition, normativity, and, finally, the public/private distinction in schooling.
