Les responsables de résidences très sociales : des professionnels tiraillés entre différents cadres d’appréhension de la réalité
2022
Cet article porte sur les responsables de résidences très sociales, entendons des responsables de structures locatives destinées à des individus et familles très modestes qui ne sont pas intégrés dans le logement social « traditionnel ». Le propos souligne les tensions relatives au métier en dégageant plus précisément divers formats et cadres d’appréhension de la réalité dans lesquels les agents de terrain ici concernés sont engagés d’une façon ou d’une autre. Ce faisant, il s’agit d’identifier diverses formes de contrôle (gestionnaire, discrétionnaire, sécuritaire...) qui ponctuent les journées de professionnels à la fois proches et éloignés aussi bien de « leurs » résidents que de leur in…

Foreign Language Pre-Service Teachers’ Attitudes Towards Integrated Technology
2020
The COVID-19 pandemic worldwide evidenced the need to revise and strengthen the current perspective of the role of technology in non-technology-based classes. The current situation requires the revision of practices and basic knowledge of computer literacy and use. Traditionally, technology in the process of language learning has been considered anecdotical. As a result, many teachers do not have the necessary skills to implement proper technology-supported classes. Being that the case at Universidad de Alcalá (Spain), we looked at the students’ needs in integrating a number of different applications in the classroom in order to provide them with additional technological skills. Twenty-two …

Friends, academic achievement, and school engagement during adolescence : A social network approach to peer influence and selection effects
2018
Abstract Peers become increasingly important socializing agents for academic behaviors and attitudes during adolescence. This study investigated peer influence and selection effects on adolescents' emotional (i.e., flow in schoolwork, school burnout, school value), cognitive (i.e., school effort), and behavioral (i.e., truancy) engagement in school. A social network approach was used to examine students of post-comprehensive education in Finland (N = 1419; mean age = 16). Students were asked to nominate peers to generate peer networks and to describe their own school engagement at two time points (one year apart). Network analyses revealed that the degree to which peer influence and selecti…

Prior Experience and Student Satisfaction with E-Tandem Language Learning of Spanish and English
2018
Recent literature in the field of foreign language learning has indicated that classroom learning is not necessarily enough for students to acquire proficiency in a foreign language. Learners who achieve a high level in the target language often combine work in the classroom with activities outside it. At the same time, a number of studies indicate that, when foreign language learners do work with their target language beyond the classroom, it is often to practice the receptive skills of reading and listening as opposed to the productive ones of speaking and writing. For this reason, students at The College of New Jersey in the United States and Universidad de Alcalá in Spain were paired up…
Network-based indices of individual and collective advising impacts in mathematics
2020
AbstractAdvising and mentoring Ph.D. students is an increasingly important aspect of the academic profession. We define and interpret a family of metrics (collectively referred to as “a-indices”) that can potentially be applied to “ranking academic advisors” using the academic genealogical records of scientists, with the emphasis on taking into account not only the number of students advised by an individual, but also subsequent academic advising records of those students. We also define and calculate the extensions of the proposed indices that account for student co-advising (referred to as “adjusted a-indices”). In addition, we extend some of the proposed metrics to ranking universities a…
Un “ chef d’orchestre” ? Le PSU en mai-juin 1968
2019
En juillet 1968, la Direction centrale des renseignements généraux (DCRG) consacre un long rapport aux événements qui ont secoué le pays depuis mai. Elle y passe en revue les différentes organisations suspectées d’avoir joué un rôle subversif et pose le PSU en « chef d’orchestre », avant de pointer le rôle particulièrement trouble de Marc Heurgon. On peut s’esclaffer et ironiser sur la propension des Renseignements généraux à chercher des complots lorsqu’il doit faire face à des mouvements so...
