TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the practice of three new teachers in their first year on the job in a regular elementary class setting and delineate situations where their subjects identify and intervene on errors made by students during the arithmetic procedure.
Abstract: Rooted in the Didactic of Mathematics’ field, this thesis looks into the practice of three new teachers. Free from the constraints and pressures associated with the teacher training context, these subjects take on a new role in their first year on the job. Among all of the affiliated responsibilities are those related to the teaching of arithmetic and, more specifically, the long division algorithm. “Le travail de l’erreur” is the expression used by Portugais (1995) to design error management by the teacher. It includes the diagnosis of errors and the strategies unfurled to help the pupil remedy his/her mistakes. This double task is the object of this study. Combining research methods of observation and interview, we aim to describe error management in a regular elementary class setting. We delineate situations where our subjects identify and intervene on errors made by students during the arithmetic procedure. We examine how these two activities are coordinated, by documenting the novice teachers choices, decisions and actions. We focus on the organization of their conduct throughout the different situations. A theoretical framework based on the “conceptual field theory” or “théorie des champs conceptuels” (Vergnaud, 1991) enables us to reveal the implicit teaching knowledge comprised in the behavior adopted by the young professionals. This analysis reveals the dynamics of piagetian assimilation/ accommodation mechanisms. It also gives us evidence of the conceptualizing process underlying teacher conduct. We utilize the concept of “scheme” to better understand this cognitive activity. We propose the existence of “le schème du travail de l’erreur” and aim to specify his nature and function. This allows us to describe the conceptual structure, which shapes and organizes the novice’s ability to manage errors in their pupil’s calculation of written divisions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Likert scales' criteria for assessing originality and usefulness were decided collectively by the evaluators, and three judges assessed 22 tests completed by professionals interested in creativity.
Abstract: Creative and innovative people are recognized for their contribution to society’s wellbeing. Engineers are often called upon to produce innovative ideas and thus participate in the improvement of their organization’s products, services, and processes. Research on creativity provides theories, models, tools, and empirical results which can be exploited in training programs on the subject. Educational institutions and organizations could benefit from this in order to improve the creative skills of their students and employees. However, the extent and dispersion of the literature on creativity across many disciplines, the lack of structure in theoretical frameworks, the wide range of objectives and pedagogical activities reported in the studies on the teaching of creativity and the limited number of work on impact assessment mean that teachers and curriculum developers need guidance on how to achieve good results. Following a cognitive approach, we conducted three studies that led us to design and develop a course on creativity that had the advantages of being rooted in a solid theoretical framework, fully explained, and tested on the ground with three groups of engineering students. A recent tool proposed to evaluate creativity in an engineering context is the Creative Engineering Design Assessment (CEDA) (Charyton, 2014). Considering that there are very few reports on its use in the field, our first study was designed to improve the CEDA’s evaluation process and determine its reliability using a statistical method widely used in engineering: the Reproducibility and Repeatability method (R&R). R&R is generally used on quantitative data such as length or voltage, but in this case it was applied to the CEDA which uses qualitative data. The scales make it possible to assess five aspects of creativity divergent thinking, convergent thinking, constraint satisfaction, problem finding and problem solving using four criteria fluency, flexibility, originality and usefulness. Three judges assessed 22 tests completed by professionals interested in creativity. Control charts (for monitoring and controlling process variation) were used to analyze the reliability of the evaluation strategy. As a first step, the Likert scales’ criteria for assessing originality and usefulness were decided collectively by the evaluators. Because less than 10% of the measurement system’s total variation was due to the tool variation, we concluded that CEDA can provide an accurate and reliable measure of the creative performance in engineering, and that R&R provides an adequate assessment for the CEDA’s reliability.

TL;DR: According to Qotb it is the communication between speakers of different languages at all social levels that has made foreign language learning a very important segment in the educational vertical as its mastery has become an asset.
Abstract: A. Violić-Koprivec and M. Hrnić: Teaching the Language for Specific Purposes in the Context... INTRODUCTION / Uvod Multilingualism is becoming a standard in the modern society characterized by globalization and internationalisation. Qotb (2009) perceives globalization not only as an economic phenomenon, but she also emphasizes its cultural and technological dimension. “Ces échanges ont pour objectifs d’avoir une meilleure connaissance de l’autre dans le respect de ses propres valeurs (Qotb, 2009: 2).”1 According to Qotb it is the communication between speakers of different languages at all social levels that has made foreign language learning a very important segment in the educational vertical as its mastery has become an asset. That is why great importance is given to the language for specific purposes (LSP), e.g. English for Specific Purposes (ESP), Geschäftsdeutsch (allemand des affaires) and le Français sur Objectifs Spécifiques (FOS). At the European level multilingualism is a particularly recognized value considering the specificities of the EU member states. In her chronological review of the decisions

TL;DR: In this paper, an etude vise a analyser les representations d'enseignantes du primaire sur l'education artistique and sur le role possible of l'art contemporain dans le processus de sensibilisation des eleves a l'ecologie.
Abstract: Cette etude vise a analyser les representations d’enseignantes du primaire sur l’education artistique et sur le role possible de l’art contemporain dans le processus de sensibilisation des eleves a l’ecologie. Elle a ete menee par le biais d’un entretien de groupe, suivi d’un atelier pratique puis d’un questionnaire. L’auteure rapporte comment les participantes ont decouvert le potentiel educatif que peut presenter une oeuvre d’art contemporain pour un travail d’eco-sensibilisation en classe. L’evolution de leurs reflexions au cours des differentes etapes de l’etude sur le role des arts plastiques a l’ecole est egalement presentee. Les resultats avancent la necessite de valoriser l’enseignement artistique, particulierement l’art contemporain, pour l’education relative a l’environnement.
