Résumé
L’étude de cas multiples est appliquée pour expliquer l’implantation d’un curriculum de promotion de la santé cardiovasculaire intitulé «Coeur en santé», dans les classes de 4e année de huit écoles d’un quartier multiethnique et défavorisé de Montréal. Une entrevue structurée et un journal de bord ont été utilisés pour mesurer les variables suivantes: 1) les caractéristiques personnelles des professeurs; 2) les caractéristiques organisationnelles de l’école; 3) les caractéristiques du programme; 4) la collaboration entre les secteurs de l’éducation et de la santé; et 5) la dose et la fidélité d’administration du curriculum.
Les résultats démontrent que les caractéristiques personnelles des professeurs et certaines caractéristiques du programme semblent expliquer les niveaux d’implantation du curriculum «Coeur en santé» dans les classes de 4e année.
Abstract
A multiple case study design is used to explain the level of implementation of a “Heart Health” curriculum by grade four teachers of eight schools in a Montreal multiethnic and underprivileged district. An interview and logbook examine the following variables: 1) personal characteristics of the teachers; 2) organizational characteristics of the schools; 3) characteristics of the program; 4) collaboration between the health and educational sectors; and 5) curriculum level of use and fidelity of implementation.
The results show in particular that the personal characteristics of the teachers and the characteristics of the program explain the level of implementation of the Heart Health curriculum.
