AbstractThis paper reflects on and re-evaluates some of the themes and assumptions informing the 1990 Report of the Task Force on Federally Sentenced Women — Creating Choices. We discuss some of the intrinsic difficulties associated with attempts to reconstruct penal regimes for women including the incompatibility of feminist and Aboriginal ideals with institutional practices of imprisonment. Since it is not possible to cover all of the concerns about the implementation process and the largely unintended consequences of this reform, we focus on the impact of these changes for women who are seen as violent or “difficult to handle”, and the fate of minimum security women and the community strategy. The article considers what giving those women prisoners “choices” has come to signify, and how far they have been offered choice.

ABSTRACTThis article offers a novel analysis of the role of the community sector in Quebec. Based on an assessment of a new social practice, that of community economic development and Montreal community economic development corporations, we examine the successes and limitations of an intervention strategy that highlights the need for socialization of the market and democratization of government. Our evaluation underscores the ambivalent results achieved by this form of intervention. We observe both its adherence to the central social trend of redefining the social contract and its difficulty in overcoming the odds imposed by the major forces represented by the market and the public sphere.

AbstractThis exploratory and descriptive study was conducted in the context of Québec's education reforms, particularly in terms of teacher training for physical education and health. (PEH). Without a doubt, one of the major challenges of initial training is ensuring professional skill development among the future teachers during their practicums. To this effect, is seems important to update the pedagogical supervision strategy in place at University of Québec in Trois-Rivières: the triad: student teacher, supervising teacher, and university supervisor. In the framework of the triad supervision strategy, the objectives of the study consist of deepening the understanding each actor has of professional skills, describing the types of knowledge mobilized and identifying favourable supervision conditions. The results of a questionnaire given to the triad members (N = 42) who were active in the winter of 2007 session reveal certain discrepancies in their ideas and knowledge about triad supervision. The need for a common professional development vision and the relevance of complementary points of view among the trainers is discussed.
