Les performances scolaires des collégiens en France : analyse des effets de l'environnement social de la classe
2012
Jamais un lieu d'apprentissage n'a autant suscité l'intérêt des psychosociologues et des chercheurs en éducation que l'environnement - ou le climat - social de la classe. Celui-ci a fait l'objet, depuis trois décennies, d'un nombre considérable d'études reconnu sur le plan international sous le nom de la recherche sur les environnements d'apprentissage de la classe (Angelika et al., 2004 ; Baek & Choi, 2002 ; Bennacer, Darracq & Pomelec, 2006 ; Cossette et al., 2004). Deux objectifs caractérisent ce domaine. Le premier consiste à identifier les environnements sociaux de la classe qui favoriseraient le développement de tous les élèves. Le second vise à déterminer la nature du climat de la cl…
L'environnement social de la classe et les performances des collégiens : étude de ses effets simples et interactifs avec l'élève

Spatio-temporal saliency detection in dynamic scenes using color and texture features
2014
Visual saliency is an important research topic in the field of computer vision due to its numerouspossible applications. It helps to focus on regions of interest instead of processingthe whole image or video data. Detecting visual saliency in still images has been widelyaddressed in literature with several formulations. However, visual saliency detection invideos has attracted little attention, and is a more challenging task due to additional temporalinformation. Indeed, a video contains strong spatio-temporal correlation betweenthe regions of consecutive frames, and, furthermore, motion of foreground objects dramaticallychanges the importance of the objects in a scene. The main objective o…
Embodied Experience and Communicative Intentions of the Singing Performer
2009
Theories of Embodied Cognition assert that simulation mechanisms underlie inter-subjective communication. On this basis we posit that by solely assessing only visual component of a performance, a naïve audience could make similar judgments to those ones elicited by audiovisual or aural perception. Five vocal performances by performers of different levels of expertise were assessed using various of perception (audiovisual, visual and aural perception) by 90 musically uneducated subjects randomly assigned to a specific modality. Subject’s task consisted of pronounce an aesthetical judgment of the performances using an 11-point scale. Results assessed by ANOVA test of repeated measures showed …
Lesion of areas 17/18/19: effects on the cat's performance in a binary detection task
1988
The ability of two cats to discriminate between two geometrical outline patterns in the presence of superimposed Gaussian visual noise — i.e. in a binary detection task — was tested before and after bilateral removal of cortical areas 17, 18 and 19. The detection probability PD was measured as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio. After a lesion of areas 17, 18 and 19 both cats were unable to carry out the discrimination tasks. Their detection performance dropped to chance level, but after an extensive phase of retraining (3 months) they regained the ability to discriminate visual patterns. It was thus possible to obtain detection curves and to determine a measure of a performance which …
“Pursuing Community Resilience through Outcome-Based Public Policies: Challenges and Opportunities for the Design of Performance Management Systems”
2017
The purpose of this symposium is to contribute to the ongoing debate on this topic in the public administration literature by exploring the contribution of performance management in the implementation of effective governance systems that may foster community resilience, especially to social “wicked” problems. The set of articles hosted in this issue provides a variegated mix of ideas and experiences in this field, encompassing different countries (from Northern to Southern Europe, and Canada), sectors (including labor, healthcare, tourism, and public utilities), and methodological approaches. An empirical perspective is adopted by the authors, involving case studies, interviews, and field r…
Norvège et Singapour, des écoles modèles
2018
National audience; L'école de Norvège et celle de Singapour sont régulièrement citées en exemple. Elles ont en commun d'être parfaitement en phase avec les grandes priorités nationales : l'égalité et la démocratie pour l'une, la performance et la prospérité pour l'autre.

Monitoring multidimensional phenomena with a multicriteria composite performance interval approach
2021
[EN] In the last two decades, the construction of composite indicators to measure and compare multidimensional phenomena in a broad spectrum of domains has increased considerably. Different methodological approaches are used to summarise huge datasets of information in a single figure. This paper proposes a new approach that consists in computing a multicriteria composite performance interval based on different aggregation rules. The suggested approach provides an additional layer of information as the performance interval displays a lower bound from a non-compensability perspective, and an upper bound allowing for full-compensability. The outstanding features of this proposal are: 1) a dis…
Gender and the Marketisation of Higher Education: A Nordic Tale
2021
This chapter investigates the gender differences in managerial practices across three Nordic countries: Finland, Norway, and Sweden. It analyses two aspects: (1) perceptions regarding competition, and (2) motivations for undertaking academic work. The chapter is based on an empirical dataset which was compiled from national surveys (conducted in 2015 and 2016) of senior academic staff (professors, associate professors, and academic leaders), which aimed to assess the perceived effects of recent government-led reforms which focused on performance management and managerial practices.
