Tonalité sociale du contexte et expérience scolaire des élèves au lycée et à l'école primaire

2004

This article presents the main results of a study that evaluates and analyzes the influence of social composition of schooling context -termed "school mix" in English-language literature- on pupils' progress and some of their attitudes, as well as on certain teacher judgments, at the primary school and 'seconde' [second form (GB)/tenth grade (US)] 'lycée' (high school) levels. The influence of school mix on pupil progress in a given year seems slight. Moreover, the results show significant contextual effects on pupils' occupational aspirations, some of their attitudes, and teacher expectations and demands. It remains to be seen, however, how best to apprehend the way effects of context accu…

Effects of a French remedial program on pupils’ educational outcomes

2018

International audience; Few studies have examined the French “Networks for Specialized Assistance to Pupils in Difficulty” (Rased). In this article, we evaluate the impact of receiving Rased services in the first year of primary schooling on academic success. Using data from a national panel study, we find inconsistency in student selection within Rased. Using matching methods, our results reveal that pupils who benefited from the program school have a higher probability of grade repetition and obtain significantly lower scores on the third grade national assessment, particularly in mathematics, compared to pupils with similar characteristics who did not take part in the program. This impac…

Compétences langagières acquises en milieu familial et acquisitions scolaires en cycle 2 : Le cas du créole et du français en contexte martiniquais

2006

06072 - 89 p.; Projet retenu dans l'appel à projet en 2003. ACI Ecole et Sciences cognitives (Ministère délégué à la recherche et aux nouvelles technologies); Ce projet vise en particulier à répondre à trois questions : Le niveau de langage en français des enfants créolophones est-il quantitativement et qualitativement différent des enfants de métropole ? Existe t-il une corrélation entre les compétences langagières dans l'une et l'autre langue ? Leur niveau en deux langues exerce t-il un impact sur leurs acquisitions scolaires? Avant de présenter la méthodologie de l'étude, une revue de questions et d'études en matière de bilinguisme est proposée selon deux champs disciplinaires : psycholi…

THE PROMOTION OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ ABILITY FOR ANALYSING COMPLEX EDUCATIONAL SITUATIONS. A METACOGNITIVE APPROACH

2013

When approaching and solving educational problems, those who are about to start a teaching profession, need to involve strategies in order to appropriately answer complex problems characterizing educational situations. We examine one way to promote specific transfer of general skills: a methodology entails the elicitation, analysis and inclusion of case-study as a primary form of instructional support while learning to solve problems. This approach is referred to as analysis of cases drawn from real-world educative contexts in order to help students develop problem solving skill. Learning is supported by conversations and stories about problematic and difficult cases. In this paper we intro…

Edma 0-6 : educación matemática en la infancia

2018

There are numerous studies that support the interest of starting the development of algebraic thinking in Primary School. In this paper, we present a part of a research project aimed to explore the processes of solution of geometric pattern problems by students in Primary grades 4th to 6th. We analyze the behavior of students who were administered a teaching unit based on the resolution of this type of problems in the GeoPattern application, created by the authors for this purpose. A characteristic of the application is that it informs the students on the correctness of their answers and allows them to respond again to the same question when their answer was wrong. This causes the students …

Teacher competencies in game-based pedagogy

2018

This study examines what kind of competencies teachers need in using game-based pedagogy (GBP). In our conceptual framework, GBP entails four approaches: using educational games or entertainment games, learning by making games, and using gamification in learning. Our data, consisting of teachers’ documentation, thematic interviews and questionnaires, were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Four main competence areas were identified: pedagogical, technological, collaborative and creative. The results are applicable for developing teacher education and in-service training, as teacher competencies in game-based learning will be more integral to teachers’ professional knowledge and sk…

Emotional Competence in Primary School Children: Examining the Effect of a Psycho-Educational Group Intervention: A Pilot Prospective Study

2022

Emotional competence (EC) is a key component of children’s psychological, cognitive, and social development, and it is a central element of learning. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a psycho-educational group intervention aimed at improving children’s emotional competence (EC), quality of integration and scholastic skills. A total of 229 children (123 females; M Age = 7.22 years; SD = 0.97 years) completed the Pictures of Facial Affect (POFA), the Drawn Stories Technique, the Classroom Drawing, and the Colored Progressive Matrices. The total sample was randomly divided into an intervention group (N = 116) who took part in psycho-educational a…

Educational dialogue among teachers experiencing different levels of self-efficacy

2021

This study examines the occurrence and quality of educational dialogue in the Grade 1 classrooms of teachers with low, moderate and high self-efficacy beliefs. Video recordings of 24 teachers were analysed based on episodes of educational dialogue and were categorised with respect to patterns of dialogic teaching. Teachers with low levels of self-efficacy conducted educational dialogue the least; they also used less teacher-initiated, high-quality dialogue compared with moderate and high self-efficacy teachers. Teachers with high self-efficacy utilised more child-initiated high-quality dialogue compared with the moderate self-efficacy teachers. The findings are important because they provid…

Development of math anxiety and its longitudinal relationships with arithmetic achievement among primary school children

2019

Abstract The aim of this study is to examine the development of two separable aspects of math anxiety, anxiety about math-related situations and anxiety about failure in math, and their cross-lagged relationship with arithmetic achievement. The mean level of anxiety about math-related situations decreased among second, third, and fourth graders, and the level of anxiety about failure in math declined among third, fourth, and fifth graders. The rank-order of individuals was more stable in arithmetic achievement than in either aspect of math anxiety. Arithmetic achievement predicted later anxiety about failure in math, but neither aspect of math anxiety predicted later achievement. The result…
