Gouverner l'école : Une comparaison France / Etats-Unis
2007
07080; Dans la plupart des pays, ont lieu des réformes assez radicales du gouvernement de l'éducation. Ce qui caractérise la France n'est pas - loin de là - l'incapacité d'imaginer ou d'engager des réformes, mais le fait qu'elles sont justifiées par des valeurs secondaires (l'adaptation à la compétition économique, aux nouvelles populations...), et qu'elles prennent des formes technocratiques, facultatives ou incantatoires, parfois silencieuses (l'assouplissement de la carte scolaire depuis 1984), d'autres fois encore contradictoires.De ce fait, elles laissent aux traditionalistes le monopole des références à la citoyenneté et aux valeurs ultimes de l'éducation. L'éducation française est do…

Problems and Adaptive Functioning Reported by Adults in 17 Societies
2016
This study tested for similarities and differences across societies in self-ratings ofproblems, personal strengths, and aspects of adaptive functioning on the Adult Self-Report (ASR) for nonclinical samples of adults ages 18 to 59 in 17 societies (N 10,197). Results indicated considerable consistency across societies regarding meanratings on the ASR problem items. Most effect sizes (ESs) for societal differences inproblem scales were small (2?5%). Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analysesindicated that culture clusters and society accounted for small percentages of variancein Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems scores, with most of the variationaccounted for by individual dif…
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and personal well-being in European youth soccer players: Invariance of physical activity, global self-esteem …
2013
In this study, findings concerned with the association of self-reported global self-esteem, vitality and athletes' moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in young soccer players and the generalisability of these associations across different European populations are presented. After listwise exclusion of missing cases and the elimination of cases reporting less than a week of intensive physical activity, the sample of this analysis included 6796 athletes from France (N = 974), Greece (N = 1416), Norway (N = 1051), Spain (N = 2175) and England (N = 1180). Results from multi-sample structural equation modelling analyses provided evidence of invariance across countries for factor loadin…
Intentions to drop-out of youth soccer: A test of the basic needs theory among European youth from five countries
2013
Research arising from self-determination theory (SDT; Deci, E. L., & Ryan, R. M. (2000). The “what” and “why” of goal pursuits: Human needs and the self-determination of behavior. Psychological Inquiry, 11(4), 227–268) indicates that the quality of the social interactions between athletes and coaches, and athletes' ensuing psychological responses, are critical determinants of intentions to drop out of youth sport. Little is known regarding whether these processes hold across countries. Grounded in SDT, this study tested the invariance of a model predicting youth sport dropout across five European countries. Seven thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine grassroots players (6641 males, 1020 fem…
Grade repetition at primary school level "CP"
2005
This research on the grade retention to the CP erects a detailed inventory of the knowledge on this question which gives rise to the more of animated discussions between the researchers and the teachers, and this since a long time. By allying the historic, comparative, economical and educational approaches, she conveys principal empirical results attached to the many facets of this measure that is more than an educational done. The empirical contribution of this study is based on a longitudinal followed during two years about more than three thousand students on CP in public schools of the French department of the Côte d'Or. We highlight that the grade retention are received favourably by t…
Student Progress in Higher Education: What We Have Learned from Large-Scale Studies
2011
en ligne sur http://www.benthamscience.com/open/toeduj/articles/V004/1TOEDUJ.pdf; International audience; This review examines student progress in higher education based on 28 articles examining 25 large-scale samples of first-year entrants in higher education programs in nine countries. These articles were obtained from a search of published and publicly available research on student departure. Although the results of the studies reviewed are heterogeneous, generalized trends emerge from the synthesis of this body of research on dropout behavior, completion, and time-to-degree. The vast majority of the empirical works reviewed indicate that personal characteristics, family background, prio…
International Vocational Education and Training Research: An Introduction to the Special Issue
2021
The seven articles in this special issue represent a wide range of international comparative and review studies by international research teams from China, Germany, India, Russia, Switzerland and Mexico. The presented projects are part of the national program "Research on the Internationalisation of Vocational Education and Training", funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). An adapted version of Urie Bronfenbrenner���s ecological systems theory forms the conceptual framework of the special issue. The four system levels (micro, meso, exo and macro) are addressed by one article each. The article on the microsystem level focuses on the intended and implemented c…
Comparisons Of Labour Productivity And Per Capita Income In The Nordic Countries (2000-2010)
2013
Due to increased international trade for the last decades and also increased labour and capital mobility, there has been increased interest in international comparisons of economic performance and living standard among countries. Economic performance for a country may be measured by average labour productivity while living standard is measured by production per capita. Differences in these figures among countries are determined by differences in the number of working hours per person per year and the share of the population that works. This approach gives us the opportunity to examine how living standard and economic performance are related. Labour productivity depends, in general, on the a…
Tentative de comparaison de l'équité des systèmes éducatifs français et américain
2002
Hier werden drei Gerechtigkeitsprinzipien definiert, mit deren Hilfe versucht wird, das Gerechtigkeitsniveau des französischen und des amerikanischen Bildungssystems miteinander zu vergleichen, d.h. zu entscheiden, welches der beiden Systeme die Konkretisierung jedes dieser Prinzipien am stärksten begünstigt. Dabei wird berücksichtigt, dass sie durch die Rahmenbedingungen in den beiden Ländern - insbesondere die sozialen Ungleichheiten - mehr oder weniger stark beeinflusst werden können. Die drei Prinzipien lauten: Jeder muss bei Schulabgang über minimale Kompetenzen verfügen; die individuellen Kompetenzungleichheiten dürfen nicht das gleichberechtigte gesellschaftliche Miteinander beeinträ…
