L'évaluation des dispositifs éducatifs et de formation

2005

05085; L'objectif principal des évaluations nationales est de permettre l'observation des compétences des élèves en début de cycle, elles fournissent aux enseignants des repères exploitables quant aux types d'erreurs fréquemment produites par les élèves au cours de leur apprentissage. Même si la dimension diagnostique reste prioritaire, ces évaluations peuvent également constituer un outil de pilotage au niveau national et local, mais des précautions doivent être prises en vue d'une interprétation correcte des résultats. Deux faiblesses principales caractérisent les épreuves nationales : la première porte sur l'échelle de mesure du niveau de connaissances scolaires, la seconde sur la défini…

Evolution et structure des compétences des élèves à l'école élémentaire et au collège : une analyse empirique des évaluations nationales

2006

Le rapport est structuré en plusieurs parties. Le premire chapitre propose l'analyse détaillée des résultats des élèves aux évaluations de CE2. Le second chapitre traite de deux points : l'identification de compétences sur une base empirique (analyse en variables latentes) et l'analyse des relations entre ces compétences. Le troisième chapitre s'intéresse à la mesure de l'évolution des compétences au cours du cycle III et propose également une mise en relation entre les compétences scolaires et les capacités cognitives des élèves. Le quatrième chapitre se centre sur l'analyse des résultats des élèves aux évaluations de fin de 5ème.

Agricultural landscapes and biodiversity conservation: a case study in Sicily (Italy)

2015

The diversity of life is made up not only of the diversity of plants and animal species, habitats and ecosystems, but also of the diversity of human cultures. These diversities interact with one another in complex ways and express the mutual adaptation between humans and the environment at local level. Sicilian traditional agro-ecosystems, due to the history of the territory and the resulting social and economic context, are configured in a heterogeneous mosaic rich in residual features of environmental value, which enhance the connectivity of the ecological network and support a high proportion of species that are rare or of conservation concern. As a case study we analyzed the characteris…

Rail freight transport and demand requirements : an analysis of attribute cut-offs through a stated preference experiment

2014

This paper analyses the choice between road and rail in Spain where rail market share for freight is still residual. Discrete choice models are estimated with data obtained through a two-phase fieldwork, thus allowing us to carry out a stated preference efficient design for each interviewee. We analyse the existence of attribute cut-offs and the presence of a segment of the population with a zero value of frequency. Our results show that ignoring the existence of cut-offs and segments of the population with polarised valuations can lead to erroneous conclusions in terms of the possibilities of rail for absorbing significant quota.

Rising Educational Attainment and Opportunity Equalization: Evidence from France

2020

Educational policies are widely recognized as the means par excellence to equalize opportunities among children with different social and family backgrounds and to promote intergenerational mobility. In this chapter, we focus on the French case and we apply the opportunity equalization criterion proposed by Andreoli, Havnes, and Lefranc (2019) for evaluating the effect of rising compulsory schooling requirements in secondary education. Our results show that such education expansion has a limited redistributive effect on students’ earnings distribution. Nonetheless, we provide evidence of opportunity equalization among groups of students defined by family background circumstances.

Efficiency, Fairness and Sustainability in Social Housing Policy and Projects

2023

The provision of affordable housing for low-income households is a very complex issue long debated in many countries around the world. Social Housing (SH) is one of the tools for achieving fairness, social sustainability and economic feasibility, and is interrelated with politics, ethics and economics, as well as the environment, architecture and technology. In other words, national and local policy, and also public and private financial resources are all needed to provide SH. SH also involves social and urban transformations and is, consequently, linked to urban planning and redevelopment projects, real estate market dynamics and cooperation between public and private stakeholders. Further…

Sensitivity analysis and process optimization of a natural gas dehydration unit using triethylene glycol

2019

Abstract Dehydration of natural gas by absorption using triethylene glycol (TEG) is a common industrial offshore procedure to ensure the compliance with the required water dew point specifications for midstream transportation. Two thermodynamic models, the UMR-PRU and the TST/NRTL, are applied for the process simulation while a preliminary economic evaluation has been conducted revealing that both yield overall similar results as for the fixed capital cost which is found to be in good agreement with reported literature values. Moreover, sensitivity analysis of several operational parameters of the process has been performed and optimized values are suggested aiming to reduce its energy requ…

The Port and its Environment

2013

In times of increasing environmental awareness, the port-city relationship has gained a new meaning since ports have been seen as the origin of both negative and positive externalities affecting the public wellbeing. While the former are the result of port expansion, the latter are the result of transforming obsolete port areas into recreational facilities. Therefore, in order to support effective policy-making, in this research is emphasized the need of measuring these environmental externalities. Considering their non-market nature, the contingent valuation method is introduced as an economic tool capable of overcoming this obstacle. Thus, the cases of two ports in Spain, namely Valencia …

The Mechanics of Progress in Education: Evidence from Cross-Country Data

1998

The document examines first the relationship between a number of indicators concerning a country system of education (global and per-pupil public resources by level of schooling, education coverage, quality of educational outcomes, efficiency in student flow, external efficiency, equity by gender and in resource allocation, ..) and and its environment (overall sector context, demographic pressure fiscal, capacity, structure of employment, ..) on the one hand, its level of economic development on the other. The paper analyzes how the economic development affects the amount of resources mobilized for the sector with the finding that the main source of resources lies in the decrease of the tea…
