Résumé
L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier les liens réciproques entre le soutien émotionnel et l’engagement (positif et négatif) de l’enfant envers son enseignant·e et celui envers ses pairs à l’éducation préscolaire cinq ans. Douze enseignantes et 113 enfants ont été observé·e·s en classe. Un niveau modéré de soutien émotionnel et des niveaux moyens-faibles d’engagement de l’enfant ont été relevés. Seul le soutien émotionnel offert a permis de prédire l’engagement positif de l’enfant envers ses pairs. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance de poursuivre l’étude des dynamiques interactionnelles en classe.

Abstract
The goal is to explore the reciprocal links between emotional support and a child’s engagement to their teacher and peers in five-year preschool education. Twelve teachers and 113 children were observed in the classroom. A moderate level of emotional support and moderate-low levels of child engagement were noted. Only the emotional support offered in the classroom predicted the children's positive engagement toward their peers. These results underscore the importance of continuing to study interactional dynamics in the classroom.
Keywords:
- emotional support,
- positive engagement,
- negative engagement,
- interactional dynamics,

Resumen
El objetivo de este artículo es el estudio de las relaciones recíprocas entre el apoyo emocional y la implicación (positiva o negativa) del niño hacia su maestro y hacia sus pares en la educación prescolar para niños de cinco años. Para ello, se observaron 12 maestros y 113 niños en clase, identificando un nivel moderado de apoyo emocional y niveles medios-bajos de implicación del niño. El nivel de apoyo emocional ha permitido predecir la implicación positiva del niño hacia sus pares. Nuestros resultados subrayan la importancia de continuar el estudio de las dinámicas interaccionales en clase.
