Exploring message themes in antismoking advertising targeted at teenagers
2008
PurposePrevious studies have indicated that antismoking advertising potentially prevents or reduces smoking among teenagers. However, not all message themes of antismoking advertising have proved effective. This study aims to explore the effects of different message themes on teenagers' intention to smoke. Attitude towards the advertisement and attitude towards the act (smoking) are proposed as mediating variables between the message theme and smoking intentions. The paper also aims to examine effect of three themes, namely health effects, mental effects and social effects on smoking/not smoking.Design/methodology/approachThe data consist of 325 Finnish high school students aged between 13 …
Conclusion: Setting Up an Agenda for Life-Course Perspective in International Migration
2018
Each chapter in this book documents ways in which migration is intertwined with life pathways, and tells the story on how migration shapes and is shaped by work, family, and educational pathways. Examples come from a variety of migration flows (Poles in Ireland; Romanians and Moroccans in Italy; Spanish, Portuguese, and Italians in Switzerland), destinations (Spain, Italy, Ireland, Germany), countries of origin (Romania, Morocco, Poland, Spain, etc.), and sources for return migration and/or remigration (Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland).
Transforming expertise from individual to regional community expertise: a four‐year study of an education intervention
2010
In this paper we present the empirical results of a study showing that individualised expertise can be transformed into regional community expertise by means of an education intervention programme. In view of the ongoing reform of the municipal and service structures in Finland, during which small municipalities are combined into areas with populations in excess of 20,000, the need for community expertise is obvious. The reorganisation of service arrangements aims at efficiency, lower costs, quality service and increased regional competitiveness. Due to the reform, local actors are expected to provide new, collaboration‐oriented strategies, while healthcare professionals in the municipaliti…
Pathways to higher education in France and Switzerland: Do vocational tracks facilitate access to higher education for immigrant students?
2014
In this chapter we wish to clarify through which institutional pathways higher education is accessed by immigrant group students in Switzerland and France. We have chosen these two countries because they differ from each other both in their educational systems and in the ways new routes to higher education have been set up through vocationally orientated programmes. The educational landscape in France is characterised by a more school-based system and has a greater tradition of prestigious tertiary education institutions (Duru-Bellat et al., 2008). Moreover, traditional vocational education and training (VET) does not have very high status and therefore fails to attract a large proportion o…
The professional agency of teacher educators amid academic discourses
2012
Agency has been seen as fundamental in the renegotiation of professional identities. However, it is unclear how teacher educators exercise their professional agency in their work, and how multiple discourses frame and restrict the practice of their professional agency. This study examines how teacher educators practise agency in negotiating their professional identities amid the multiple discourses emerging from the academic context of their work. The aim was to investigate educators’ locally expressed professional agency in the context of the more global discourses that may construct teacher educator identities. The analysis made use of applied thematic discursive analysis to address patte…
Pathways enabling educational success for vulnerable immigrants in Switzerland, Canada and France
2014
Parcours d'études favorisant l'accès à l'enseignement supérieur des jeunes d'origine immigrée en Suisse, France et au Canada - Les politiques éducatives des dernières décennies ont favorisé les poursuites d'études des élèves jusqu'aux niveaux post-secondaires. Ces politiques devraient contribuer à réduire certaines inégalités connues dans le système éducatif en améliorant la réussite scolaire des groupes défavorisés ou vulnérables tels les enfants d'origine immigrée ou de milieu social modeste. Dans cet article, nous cherchons à préciser non seulement si, mais aussi comment les parcours scolaires, permettent l'accès à l'enseignement supérieur des jeunes d'origine immigrée, en mobilisant tro…
Les classes à plusieurs cours
1998
Multigrade teaching in primary education has often been criticized because this context was assumed to be detrimental for student learning. After having shown that this assumption was empirically wrong, the paper stresses that students who went through this type of education at the primary level perform (better learning and less repetition) also better in lower secondary school.

Parcours scolaires, accès aux études supérieures et mobilité sociale : comparaison entre la France, la Suisse et le Canada
2016
Le présent article examine dans quelle mesure l’organisation des trajectoires scolaires et les parcours conduisant à l'enseignement supérieur favorisent la mobilité sociale ou au contraire la reproduction des inégalités. Nous avons comparé trois pays : la France, la Suisse et le Canada. Les résultats obtenus à partir des données tirées des panels d’enquêtes menées dans ces trois pays permettent d’observer deux situations inversées. Plus l’enseignement supérieur est valorisé au détriment de la formation professionnelle, plus les inégalités ont tendance à s’exacerber. La compétition y est telle que ce sont les jeunes de milieu favorisé qui tirent davantage profit de son expansion. Par contre,…
Les compétences non académiques utiles aux étudiants sur le marché du travail
2019
International audience; Les jeunes tout au long de leurs parcours de formation, au sein et en dehors du système éducatif, vont acquérir une diversité de compétences qu'ils peuvent valoriser sur le marché du travail. Si de nombreuses recherches ont montré que les niveaux de compétences en littératie et en numératie ont un impact spécifique sur le marché du travail, pour des diplômés qui ont pourtant le même niveau d'études (par exemple, Branche Seigeot, 2013), d'autres travaux se sont également intéressés à l'impact des "soft skills" sur le début des parcours professionnels. La définition exacte de ces "softs skills" comme leur mesure ouvrent la voie à d'importantes questions méthodologiques…
