Résumé
Le présent article expose les qualités psychométriques de l’adaptation de deux questionnaires destinés à des élèves francophones, qui évaluent les stéréotypes de genre en mathématiques, d’une part, et les stéréotypes de genre en français, d’autre part. Les résultats de deux études comprenant des élèves de sixième année du primaire, de deuxième et de quatrième secondaire [n (Étude 1) = 169 ; n (Étude 2) = 1 138] montrent que les instruments adaptés offrent une consistance interne élevée ainsi qu’une bonne validité concomitante. De plus, des analyses factorielles exploratoires et confirmatoires ont révélé une structure reflétant les sous-échelles adaptées et procurant de bons indices d’ajustement aux données. Les questionnaires proposés présentent donc des qualités psychométriques satisfaisantes.

Abstract
This article examines the psychometric properties of the adaptation of two questionnaires addressed to French-speaking students, which evaluate gender stereotypes regarding mathematics and gender stereotypes regarding French. Results of two studies comprising grade six, eight and ten students [n (Study 1) = 169; n (Study 2) = 1 138] showed that the adapted instruments offer a high internal consistency, and a good concomitant validity. In addition, results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a structure corresponding to the adapted subscales, and adequately reflecting the data. In summary, the adapted questionnaires are psychometrically sound.

Resumo
Este artigo apresenta as qualidades psicométricas de dois questionários destinados a alunos francófonos que avaliam, por um lado, os estereótipos de género em matemática e, por outro lado, os estereótipos de género em francês. Os resultados dos dois estudos que foram realizados com alunos do 6.º, 8.º e 10.º anos de escolaridade [nº (Estudo 1) = 169; nº (Estudo 2) = 1º138] mostram que os instrumentos adaptados oferecem uma consistência interna elevada, bem como uma boa validade concomitante. Acresce que as análises factoriais exploratórias e confirmatórias revelaram uma estrutura que reflecte as sub-escalas adaptadas e bons índices de ajustamento aos dados. Em suma, os questionários propostos apresentam qualidades psicométricas satisfatórias.
