El boletín Faraday (1928-29) y las relaciones entre historia y didáctica de las ciencias
2021
Faraday ha sido considerada una de las primeras publicaciones especializadas en didáctica e historia de la ciencia en España. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha su recuperación y estudio se revelaba pendiente. A través del análisis inédito de esta publicación de principios del siglo xx, se abordan las relaciones entre historia y didáctica de las ciencias desde una mirada diacrónica. Dicho análisis ha puesto de manifiesto cómo la didáctica de las ciencias contribuyó a impulsar la forja disciplinar de la historia de la ciencia y cómo esta última nutrió a la didáctica de las ciencias de un amplio sustrato metodológico y epistemológico. Este análisis también ha ofrecido varios elementos de reflexión p…
Déclaration des politiques des revues scientifiques françaises : un nouveau service via Mir@bel et Sherpa Romeo
2021
webinaire Médici #5 ; 50 participants; National audience; La formalisation par les revues scientifiques françaises de leur politique de publication en matière d'autoarchivage et de rediffusion voire réutilisation des contenus est essentielle dans le contexte de la politique nationale science ouverte. Non seulement il s'agit de décider de la diffusion mais il faut expliciter le cadre des autorisations et obligations au moyen de licences, de contrats, etc. Ces politiques déclarées par les éditeurs des revues sont agrégées via Sherpa Romeo ce qui en facilite la consultation et l'usage. Ce webinaire a pour objectif de faire connaître le rôle du réseau Mir@bel dans la déclaration de ces politiqu…
Data Analysis as a Tool for Optimizing Learning Management Systems
2009
The advent of the Internet has opened a scope for research in new methods and tools that may facilitate the teaching and learning processes. This has, in turn, led to the development of learning platforms to support teaching and learning activities. The market penetration of these has been such that nowadays most universities provide their academic community with some form of a learning management system (LMS).Although a lot of effort has been put into deploying these platforms, the usage statistics that they generally provide are not generally processed to optimize their use within a specific context or institution (or confronted with quality or innovation indexes to produce useful feedbac…
Palatal steatocystoma simplex—a rare oral finding at an even rarer location
2020
ABSTRACT Steatocystoma is a rare, benign cyst that mostly originates from a dermal sebaceous gland. It can be divided into steatocystoma multiplex—with multiple locations—and steatocystoma simplex occurring at a single site. The lesion is mostly located on the skin but can be found on other locations as well. This is the first case report of steatocystoma simplex that was found in the palate of a 37-year-old male. After resection with small safety margins and local wound dressing, no recurrence was detected during a follow-up of 1.5 years.
Predicting Mathematics Achievement in Secondary Education: The Role of Cognitive, Motivational, and Emotional Variables.
2020
Academic achievement in general, and in mathematics in particular, is positively associated not only with cognitive abilities, but also with emotional and motivational skills. The objective of this study was to analyze the prediction strength of cognitive, motivational, and emotional variables in mathematics achievement throughout high school, considering students' gender and age. A large sample of 2,365 Spanish students from the 4 years of high school (12-16 years old) participated in the study. Students provided information about their intellectual skills, perceived competence in mathematics, perceived utility of mathematics, intrinsic interest in learning, mathematics anxiety, and their …
Adolescents’ Self-Concordance, School Engagement, and Burnout Predict Their Educational Trajectories 1This paper is part of a series on “Youth Develo…
2009
This study investigated whether self-concordance of adolescents’ achievement-related goal predicts their school engagement and lack of burnout during upper secondary school as well as their subsequent educational trajectories. We also examined whether goal effort and progress mediate these associations. The sample consisted of 614 17-year-old upper secondary school students, who were surveyed three times: (1) in the second grade of upper secondary, (2) in the third grade of upper secondary school, and (3) one year later. The results showed that when adolescents pursued their achievement-related goal for internal reasons, they also invested effort in their goal, which was reflected in a hig…
Les évolutions du système d'innovation et le marché du travail des jeunes scientifiques
2004
In France, as in many other OECD countries, a sharp increase in the number of Ph.D. graduates in S&E fields from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s was followed by a decrease in the enrolments in Ph.D. studies. Important transformations in the innovation processes were also observed on the same period. Our hypothesis is that we assist to the emergence of an intermediate scientific labour market between the traditional academic sector and the private research sector. A detailed analysis of the production processes of scientists and of the scientific careers of young scientists is first carried out in the perspective of labour economics. Then, in the perspective of the economics of innovation and…
Effects of Grade Retention Policies: A Literature Review of Empirical Studies Applying Causal Inference
2021
The identification of the causal effects of grade retention policies is of enormous relevance for researchers and policymakers alike. Taking advantage of the availability of more detailed longitudinal datasets, researchers have been able to apply different identification strategies that address the classical problems of selection bias and unobserved heterogeneity that have plagued previous studies on the effect of retention. We present a systematic literature review of empirical studies aiming to unveil the causal effects of retention. This study underlines the need to consider and evaluate different kinds of grade retention polices as their effects vary depending on several dimensions (suc…
RIE : revista de investigación educativa
2011
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the type of self-concept (academic and general) and extracurricular activities on academic performance among primary school students (N = 1708), and to determine the differences of this relationship in terms of gender. We used a cluster sampling stratified into two stages and gave standardized achievement tests and ad-hoc instrument designed for academic and general self-concept and extracurricular activities. The results showed that respondents who engaged in academic extracurricular activities such as language and computer performed better in all academic subjects. Those who took music and sports also scored better in some subjects. In co…
