Summary : The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of alternated sport competitions (Segregated and integrated) on perceived competence for adolescents in school failure presenting an intellectual disability (ID) or conduct behavior (CB) placed in French specialized establishment. Compared to student schooled in an ordinary sector, adolescents with ID and CB present an inability to appreciate their possibility and to recognize their weakness. This inability can translate a physical auto-illusion of competence. The central hypothesis of this work suggests that the alternated sport competitions are going to encourage the decristallisation of the physical auto-illusion of competence of the adolescents with ID and CB. The Self Perception Profile of Harter (1985) has been administrated seven times in seven months to two groups of eight ID adolescents and two groups of eight CB adolescents practicing basketball and cross-country, as well as to four control groups (sedentary and physical education). The results show a stability of the « physical » perceived competence and « general self-worth » on a length of seven months. The alternated competitions play a damaging role to the construction of a realist perceived competence. It seems therefore that in the long term, only the practice of integrated competitions can contribute to reduce the physical auto-illusion of competence of adolescents with ID and CB. |
