Aptitudes et habitudes dans la pratique du vélo
2017
National audience; Depuis les années 80, la majorité des poli-tiques publiques liées aux déplacements ou à l'aménagement affiche une volonté de ré-duire l'usage de la voiture en milieu urbain. Pour mener à bien cette mission, plusieurs modes de déplacements alternatifs à l'au-tomobile sont proposés et soutenus par les collectivités et les aménageurs : on trouve, en général, les transports en commun en premier lieu, tandis que le vélo est géné-ralement cité en second lieu, souvent avec la marche et parfois avant le covoiturage et l'autopartage. Doté de l'image du moyen de déplacement écologique par excellence, le vélo est de plus en plus visible. Il illustre largement les documents de commun…

Maximal isometric muscle strength and functional ability in daily activities among 75-year-old men and women
2007
The purpose of this study was to analyze whether functional ability in daily activities among 75-year-old men and women is predicted by physical activity, isometric muscle strength and simple function tests. In this representative sample of a general population of 405 75-year-olds, isometric muscle strength and functional ability in daily activities were closely related (odds ratio of disability 1.2–2.1), stressing the importance of strength in the truncus, proximal and distal muscle groups for daily activities. There were strong correlations between physical activity, isometric muscle strength as well as simple function tests and ability to manage daily activities. Those with even light ph…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2017
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Disponible la versión en inglés El objetivo es analizar el proyecto de nuevo cuestionario diseñado por la Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU) para realizar la evaluación de sus docentes (SET). Se analizan las respuestas de una muestra de 941 estudiantes y se estudia la fiabilidad del cuestionario, la dimensionalidad, la validez de constructo y criterial, finalizando con un estudio diferencial tomando en cuenta variables como el género, el campo disciplinar, el nivel percibido de dificultad o el interés de las materias. Los resultados permiten afirmar que se trata de un instrumento de alta consistenc…
Psychological factors and defective colour vision
1995
In this study, involving students between 14 and 16 years old, the psychological dimensions of cognition and personality affected by red-green colour vision deficiencies were investigated. From the results of a factorial analysis it appears that the influence of colour vision abnormality on the psychological factors that we tested is always minor. Colour vision defect is correlated with such cognitive variables as spatial aptitude and visual difference perception, and with such personality variables as praxemia and submission. The weighting of the cognition and personality factors linked to colour vision abnormality, however, varies considerably and does not in any case contribute more than…
Análisis de un programa de intervención para el desarrollo de aptitudes psicolingüísticas y competencias matemáticas en educación infantil
2015
Esta tesis analiza un programa de intervención para desarrollar aptitudes psicolingüísticas matemáticas y competencias matemáticas en segundo de Educación Infantil. Las tareas han sido diseñadas específicamente siguiendo los niveles de dos pruebas: Test de Illinois de Aptitudes Psicolingüísticas (ITPA) y el Test para el Diagnóstico de las Competencias Básicas en Matemáticas (TEDI - MATH). El soporte para el programa de intervención es el cañón de video, con tareas visuales, narrativas y manipulativas. Por otro lado, también se han analizado las posibles diferencias de género tanto en aptitudes psicolingüísticas como en competencias matemáticas básicas. La tesis se estructura en dos partes. …
Measuring self‐regulated learning in a junior high school mathematics classroom : Combining aptitude and event measures in digital learning materials
2023
Background Measurement of students' self-regulation skills is an active topic in education research, as effective assessment helps devising support interventions to foster academic achievement. Measures based on event tracing usually require large amounts of data (e.g., MOOCs and large courses), while aptitude measures are often qualitative and need careful interpretation. Precise and interpretable evaluation of self-regulation skills in a normal K-12 classroom thus poses a challenge. Objectives The present study proposes and explores a learning analytics method of combining aptitude and event measures to evaluate student's self-regulation skills. Methods An explorative learning analytics s…
Musical aptitude and foreign language learning skills - neural and behavioral evidence about their connections
2009
Perceiving music and language seems to depend upon subtle and accurate auditory processing skills. Could music and language also share common neural resources? Possible interaction between music and speech memory systems has not been ruled out. On the contrary, there is increasing evidence pointing out the accuracy at perceiving phonetic contrasts in native or foreign language of subjects with musical aptitude or musical training. The main focus of this study was to examine the relationship between musical aptitude and linguistic abilities, especially in terms of second language pronunciation skills. We examined 10-12-year-old elementary school children’s ability to preattentively process m…
The Interplay between Musical and Linguistic Aptitudes: A Review.
2011
According to prevailing views, brain organization is modulated by practice, e.g., during musical or linguistic training. Most recent results, using both neuropsychological tests and brain measures, revealed an intriguing connection between musical aptitude and second language linguistic abilities. A significant relationship between higher musical aptitude, better second language pronunciation skills, accurate chord discrimination ability, and more prominent sound-change-evoked brain activation in response to musical stimuli was found. Moreover, regular music practice may also have a modulatory effect on the brain’s linguistic organization and alter hemispheric functioning in those who have …
Walking Ability and All-Cause Mortality in Older Women
2010
In this study self-reported ability to walk 2 km and six-minute walking test (6MWT) performance were examined as predictors of all-cause mortality in 434 women, aged 63-76 years. The primary outcome measure was all-cause mortality (follow-up: 8 years). Predictors were self-reported difficulties in walking 2 km and 6-min walking distance tertiles of ≤495, 496-560 and ≥561 m, and no test result due to refusal by the physician to grant permission to perform the test or participant's inability or unwillingness to perform the test. During the follow-up, 39 participants died. Participants reporting minor (age- and body mass index-adjusted hazard ratio 2.53, 95% confidence interval 1.12-5.69) or m…
