Le temps des unes et le temps des autres
2004
Dans une journée tout le monde dispose de vingt-quatre heures. De quelle manière le temps est-il compté, quantifié et analysé selon les institutions ? Les résultats de ces diverses enquêtes soulignent la persistance des inégalités dans la gestion des emplois du temps.
Les dispositifs de prise en charge de la difficulté scolaire à l’école élémentaire : étude de leur fonctionnement et de leurs effets sur la réussite …
2018
With the Jules Ferry laws ensuring free and compulsory schooling, equal chances of succeeding were expected in a meritocratic established school system. Reality proved otherwise: attending school still does not allow all schoolchildren to progress in the same way, as some of them encounter difficulties from the beginning. The struggle against academic failure cannot stop a considerable amount of pupils from finishing school without satisfactorily mastering the basic elements of the programmes. Moreover, recent research works have seemed to prove programmes providing assistance for underachievers to be ineffective.This thesis offers a comparative evaluation of such support systems in element…
Repeated selection : access to a higher education diploma for vocational baccalaureate holders
2021
This thesis examines the access of vocational baccalaureate holders to higher education in light of two major recent developments: the explosion in the number of vocational baccalaureate holders, on the one hand, and the continuous increase in their enrollment rate in higher education, on the other hand. Between 2000 and 2015, the combination of these two phenomena led to an almost fourfold increase in the number of vocational baccalaureates enrolled in higher education. In this research, we explain the obstacles and levers of these new educational paths through the determinants of the successive passage through three stages of selection.First, informal selection corresponds to the influenc…
Regards sur la formation professionnelle continue
2004
La formation professionnelle est rarement abordée du point de vue de la personne qui se forme. Pourquoi et comment des salariés se décident-ils à suivre une formation financée par leur employeur ? De nombreux témoignages recueillis dans dix-sept entreprises mettent en évidence la persistance de certaines inégalités au détriment des femmes : une moindre diversité des stages, une plus grande proportion d'actions de courte durée et peu diplômantes, un moindre accès à la formation notamment pour le personnel ouvrier, mais aussi un manque de propositions et d'informations et, un certain oubli des contraintes familiales dans l'organisation des stages.
The video game experience as 'true' identification: A theory of enjoyable alterations of players' self-perception
2009
This article introduces an explication of video game players' identification with a game character or role that is based on social-psychological models of self-perception. Contrasting with conventional ("dyadic" ) notions of media user-character relationships (e.g., parasocial interaction or affective disposition theory), ("monadic" ) video game identification is defined as a temporal shift of players' self-perception through adoption of valued properties of the game character. Implications for media enjoyment, the measurement of identification, and media effects are discussed. © 2009 International Communication Association.
Finite-Time Hâ Filtering for T-S Fuzzy Discrete-Time Systems with Time-Varying Delay and Norm-Bounded Uncertainties
2015
In this paper, we investigate the filtering problem of discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy uncertain systems subject to time-varying delays. A reduced-order filter is designed. With the augmentation technique, a filtering error system with delayed states is obtained. In order to deal with time delays in system states, the filtering error system is first transformed into two interconnected subsystems. By using a two-term approximation for the time-varying delay, sufficient delay-dependent conditions of finite-time boundedness and $H_{\infty }$ performance of the filtering error system are derived with the Lyapunov function. Based on these conditions, the filter design methods are propose…
Finite-time boundedness for uncertain discrete neural networks with time-delays and Markovian jumps
2014
This paper is concerned with stochastic finite-time boundedness analysis for a class of uncertain discrete-time neural networks with Markovian jump parameters and time-delays. The concepts of stochastic finite-time stability and stochastic finite-time boundedness are first given for neural networks. Then, applying the Lyapunov approach and the linear matrix inequality technique, sufficient criteria on stochastic finite-time boundedness are provided for the class of nominal or uncertain discrete-time neural networks with Markovian jump parameters and time-delays. It is shown that the derived conditions are characterized in terms of the solution to these linear matrix inequalities. Finally, n…
