For young people having serious learning difficulties, problems in school perseverance are one of the major handicaps to successful professional and social integration (Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec, 2001). However, recent reports show that the “Centre de formation en entreprise et récupération”(CFER) is highly regarded by youth who have important learning difficulties. This research study, with only one part of the results presented here, has an objective to identify, describe and analyze the pedagogical approach used by CFER that centres on a global task, a pedagogical approach that is innovative and distinct from more traditional approaches.
