Differential Learning as a Key Training Approach to Improve Creative and Tactical Behavior in Soccer
2018
The aim of this study was to identify the effects of a differential-learning program, embedded in small-sided games, on the creative and tactical behavior of youth soccer players. Forty players from under-13 (U13) and under-15 (U15) were allocated into control and experimental groups and were tested using a randomized pretest to posttest design using small-sided games situations.The experimental group participated in a 5-month differential-learning program embodied in small-sided games situations, while the control group participated in a typical small-sided games training program. In-game creativity was assessed through notational analyses of the creative components, and the players' posit…
The Influence of Collective Behavior on Pacing in Endurance Competitions
2015
A number of theoretical models have been proposed in recent years to explain pacing strategies observed in individual competitive endurance events. These have typically related to the internal regulatory processes that inform the making of decisions relating to muscular work rate. Despite a substantial body of research which has investigated the influence of collective group dynamics on individual behaviors in various animal species, this issue has not been comprehensively studied in individual athletic events. This is somewhat surprising given that athletes often directly compete in close proximity to one another, and that collective behavior has also been observed in other human environme…
Les performances des élèves français au collège : étude comparative des effets exercés par l'individu et l'environnement scolaire
2009
Cette étude permet de mettre en confrontation les principales considérations théoriques de deux positions, dites situationniste ou interactionniste traditionnelle, quant à la prédiction des performances des collégiens. La première accorde un intérêt primordial à l'environnement socio-écologique de la classe (Moos, 1991). La seconde, relative à la psychologie différentielle interactionniste, privilégie dans l'explication du comportement le rôle de l'individu à savoir ses caractéristiques personnelles et surtout sa signification psychologique de l'environnement (Magnusson et Endler, 1977). Ces caractéristiques ont concerné dans ce travail l'âge de l'élève, son sexe, la classe socioprofessionn…
Les performances scolaires des collégiens en France : analyse des effets de l'environnement social de la classe
2012
Jamais un lieu d'apprentissage n'a autant suscité l'intérêt des psychosociologues et des chercheurs en éducation que l'environnement - ou le climat - social de la classe. Celui-ci a fait l'objet, depuis trois décennies, d'un nombre considérable d'études reconnu sur le plan international sous le nom de la recherche sur les environnements d'apprentissage de la classe (Angelika et al., 2004 ; Baek & Choi, 2002 ; Bennacer, Darracq & Pomelec, 2006 ; Cossette et al., 2004). Deux objectifs caractérisent ce domaine. Le premier consiste à identifier les environnements sociaux de la classe qui favoriseraient le développement de tous les élèves. Le second vise à déterminer la nature du climat de la cl…
L'environnement social de la classe et les performances des collégiens : étude de ses effets simples et interactifs avec l'élève

Spatio-temporal saliency detection in dynamic scenes using color and texture features
2014
Visual saliency is an important research topic in the field of computer vision due to its numerouspossible applications. It helps to focus on regions of interest instead of processingthe whole image or video data. Detecting visual saliency in still images has been widelyaddressed in literature with several formulations. However, visual saliency detection invideos has attracted little attention, and is a more challenging task due to additional temporalinformation. Indeed, a video contains strong spatio-temporal correlation betweenthe regions of consecutive frames, and, furthermore, motion of foreground objects dramaticallychanges the importance of the objects in a scene. The main objective o…
Lesion of areas 17/18/19: effects on the cat's performance in a binary detection task
1988
The ability of two cats to discriminate between two geometrical outline patterns in the presence of superimposed Gaussian visual noise — i.e. in a binary detection task — was tested before and after bilateral removal of cortical areas 17, 18 and 19. The detection probability PD was measured as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio. After a lesion of areas 17, 18 and 19 both cats were unable to carry out the discrimination tasks. Their detection performance dropped to chance level, but after an extensive phase of retraining (3 months) they regained the ability to discriminate visual patterns. It was thus possible to obtain detection curves and to determine a measure of a performance which …
“Pursuing Community Resilience through Outcome-Based Public Policies: Challenges and Opportunities for the Design of Performance Management Systems”
2017
The purpose of this symposium is to contribute to the ongoing debate on this topic in the public administration literature by exploring the contribution of performance management in the implementation of effective governance systems that may foster community resilience, especially to social “wicked” problems. The set of articles hosted in this issue provides a variegated mix of ideas and experiences in this field, encompassing different countries (from Northern to Southern Europe, and Canada), sectors (including labor, healthcare, tourism, and public utilities), and methodological approaches. An empirical perspective is adopted by the authors, involving case studies, interviews, and field r…
Norvège et Singapour, des écoles modèles
2018
National audience; L'école de Norvège et celle de Singapour sont régulièrement citées en exemple. Elles ont en commun d'être parfaitement en phase avec les grandes priorités nationales : l'égalité et la démocratie pour l'une, la performance et la prospérité pour l'autre.
