Abstract :

[fr] Cette note de synthèse porte sur un phénomène connu sous le nom de « Big-Fish-Little-Pond effect » (BFLPE; l’effet « gros poisson dans le petit étang »). Les études consacrées à cet effet montrent que la fréquentation d’une école ou d’une classe aux performances moyennes élevées peut ne pas être favorable sur le plan socio-affectif. Plus précisément, il apparait qu’à performances individuelles équivalentes, fréquenter une école ou une classe aux performances élevées est associé à un concept de soi académique plus faible. Cet effet dû aux comparaisons sociales réalisées avec le groupe de référence que constitue l’école ou la classe est par ailleurs présent dans une large majorité de pays et touche l’ensemble des élèves quels que soient leurs caractéristiques.
