Abstract

Dans le présent document nous avons recours à l'application de la méthode de décomposition de DiNardo, Fortin et Lemieux (DFL, 1996) pour ventiler les différences entre les distributions provinciales des notes au test du Programme international pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) et pour évaluer la contribution relative de la distribution de la « taille de la classe » et du temps d'enseignement, des autres caractéristiques de l'école et des caractéristiques du milieu familial des élèves aux différences interprovinciales de rendement. La taille de la classe et le temps d'enseignement étant deux variables qui ont une influence importante sur le choix de l'école, nous examinons comment les différences interprovinciales de rendement scolaire évolueraient si la distribution de la taille de la classe et du temps d'enseignement observée en Alberta était celle en vigueur dans les autres provinces. Les résultats varient selon la province et, pour celles où les écarts moyens de rendement s'amenuiseraient, les nouvelles conditions n'avantageraient pas tous les élèves.
