Résumé
Cette étude évalue les retombées de la classe de prolongation de cycle, une mesure alternative au redoublement, sur la motivation à apprendre. Des élèves n’ayant pas les acquis pour passer au deuxième cycle au secondaire ont expérimenté celle-ci. Ils ont été comparés à des pairs du même âge, qui ont été promus, en ce qui a trait à leurs attentes de succès ainsi qu’à la valeur qu’ils accordaient aux apprentissages, de manière générale et plus spécifiquement dans les domaines du français et des mathématiques. Les résultats d’analyses de variance indiquent que cette mesure a eu un effet quelque peu favorable sur le sentiment de compétence scolaire général, ainsi que celui lié spécifiquement aux apprentissages en français. Des conséquences moins négatives que le redoublement lui seraient donc associées, du moins sur le plan des attentes de succès.

Abstract
This study assesses the results of a grade-cycle extension course, as an alternative to repeating a grade, on the motivation to learn. The course was taken by students lacking the requisites to move on to the second cycle of secondary school. The students under study were compared with peers of the same age who graduated to the next grade, with respect to their expectations of success and the value they assigned to learning, both in a general sense and more specifically regarding French and mathematics. The results of the variance analysis indicate that this measure had a slightly favourable effect on sense of academic competence in general, as well as French learning in particular. The measure thus appears to be associated with less negative consequences than grade repetition, at least in terms of expectations of success.
Keywords:

Resumen
Este estudio evalúa el impacto de la clase de ciclo extendido, una medida alternativa a la repetición del año escolar, sobre la motivación para aprender. Esta clase acoge a los alumnos que no han adquirido las habilidades necesarias para pasar al segundo ciclo de secundaria. Estos alumnos han sido comparados con pares de su misma edad que fueron promovidos de año, respecto a sus expectativas de éxito, al valor que le otorgan al aprendizaje en general y más específicamente al aprendizaje en francés y matemáticas. Los resultados de los análisis de varianza indican que esta medida tuvo un efecto algo favorable en relación con el sentido de competencia escolar en general, así como con el del aprendizaje específico en francés. Al menos en términos de expectativas de éxito, consecuencias menos negativas que las asociadas a repetir el año escolar estarían asociadas a estas clases.
