Les déterminants sociaux, scolaires et cognitifs de la réussite en première année universitaire
2012
National audience; L'objectif principal de cette recherche est de mieux comprendre l'articulation entre les différents facteurs qui agissent sur la réussite des étudiants au terme de la première année à l'Université. Une originalité de la démarche est d'intégrer aux modèles explicatifs de la réussite, des indicateurs spécifiques des compétences des étudiants à leur entrée à l'Université : mesures des performances académiques (niveau en compréhension de l'écrit) et des capacités cognitives. Les analyses mettent en évidence le poids très fort du passé scolaire (retard scolaire, série et mention du bac) ; le niveau en compréhension de l'écrit et les capacités cognitives ne jouent, à elles seul…

Comparing Aspects Of The Process Quality In Six European Early Childhood Educational Settings
2013
The European project ‘Early Change’ (http://earlychange.teithe.gr) attempts to evaluate the quality of early childhood education (ECE) environments of six European countries, Greece, Portugal, Finland, Denmark, Cyprus and Romania. The purpose of this paper is to compare the level of two dimensions of the process quality of these environments a) Space & Furnishings, and b) Personal Care Routines. Theorists, practitioners and researchers agree that in order to provide qualitative education to young children, one of the basic needs of all children must be met; that need is the protection of their health and their safety. A high quality early childhood education program must contain a safe and …
The 1-way on-line coupled model system MECO(n) – Part 4: Chemical evaluation (based on MESSy v2.52)
2016
Abstract. For the first time a simulation incorporating tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry using the newly developed MECO(n) model system is performed. MECO(n) is short for MESSyfied ECHAM and COSMO model nested n-times. It features an on-line coupling of the COSMO-CLM model, equipped with the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) interface (called COSMO/MESSy), with the global atmospheric chemistry model ECHAM5/MESSy for Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC). This on-line coupling allows a consistent model chain with respect to chemical and meteorological boundary conditions from the global scale down to the regional kilometre scale. A MECO(2) simulation incorporating one regional instance ov…
Testing for external sustainability under a monetary integration process. Does the Lawson doctrine apply to Europe?
2015
Monetary integration, and more specifically, the creation of a monetary union in Europe, raises new economic questions concerning its functioning and governance. In particular, we focus on the implications of high and persistent current account deficits for the economic performance of monetary union members in the medium term. Recent literature has argued that conventional measures of external sustainability are misleading because they omit the effects of capital variations on net foreign asset positions due to, among others, stock or debt market crises. In this paper we revisit external sustainability making use of the database developed by Lane and Milesi-Ferretti (2007) that includes the…
Applying a Mixed Method Design to Evaluate Training Seminars Within an Early Childhood Education Project
2008
Abstract The body of research relating to assessment in education suggests that professional developers and seminar administrators have generally paid little attention to evaluation procedures. Scholars have also been critical of evaluations which use a single data source and have favoured the use of a multiple method design to generate a complete picture of the effectiveness of procedures under evaluation. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate two training seminars using a mixed method design. The evaluation procedure was specifically designed to utilise triangulation of sources and to follow Killion's eight-step process. The seminars were part of the ‘Early Steps’ project, a Eu…
An empirical assessment of the Feltham-Ohlson models considering the sign of abnormal earnings
2006
Abstract This paper provides an empirical assessment of the Feltham-Ohlson models, distinguishing between firms with positive and negative abnormal earnings. Abnormal earnings persistence and conservatism parameters differ for these two groups; this implies different earnings prediction models and valuation functions for both profit-making and loss-making firms. The analysis refers to the period 1991-1999 and uses a sample of Spanish firms quoted on the Madrid S.E. The results suggest that our contextual approach is more useful than the non-contextual one to predict future abnormal earnings and explain current prices. Although the Ohlson (1995) model is accurate in forecasting future abnorm…
The Investment on Capital Market: From Target Price Valuation Models to Investor Final Decision
2018
The investments on capital market are more attractive nowadays considering the short-term potential earnings that this particular market can offer but also the opportunities generated by the new entry companies. The aim of the paper is to present different valuation models of share in order to identify/calculate a target price, on one hand, and to emphasize the impact of both internal and external information on price per share, on the other hand. The target price is an important instrument that drives, alongside with industry, financial, and risk analysis, the investment decision to buy, to hold, and to sell. The key issues in determining target price are equity analysis, cash flow forecas…
Evaluating the Regional Impact of a New Road on Tourism
2004
Ferri J. (2004) Evaluating the regional impact of a new road on tourism, Reg. Studies 38, 409–418. The aim of this work is to establish whether the opening of a motorway that extends along the east coast of Spain has significantly contributed to expanding hotel tourism in the Valencia region. Some of the most important tourist destinations in Spain, both domestic and international, are located in this region, such as Benidorm, Peniscola and Gandia. The A-7 motorway, also part of the E-15 road network, is not only a faster and safer means of road communication for tourists but also provides a new gate to Europe, connecting with other motorways. Using monthly data on nights spent in hotels by…
A qui profite le tutorat mis en place dans le premier cycle universitaire ?
2000
International audience; Cet article présente les résultats d'une recherche portant sur l'évaluation du tutorat d'accompagnement mis en place en première année de premier cycle universitaire à l'Université de Bourgogne. Ce dispositif de soutien destiné aux étudiants en difficulté est basé sur les principes du volontariat et du libre accès. Les résultats principaux de cette évaluation font apparaître un effet positif du dispositif, bien que les plus concernés par ces actions de soutien ne soient cependant pas les plus présents ni les plus assidus.
