Les pratiques pédagogiques des enseignants universitaires :
2012
In France, some studies (Boyer & Coridian, 2002; Clanet, 2001) have highlighted the heterogeneity of teaching practices at the university, especially in the first year, but don't analyze accurately the effects of this variety on the students. However, these practices are not without consequences for them (Bireaud 1990; Bellat Duru, 1995; Galinon Menelec, 1996). So it is to this reflection that is dedicated the research presented in this article. Firstly will be presented studies in France and abroad about the description of practices. The second part will focus on the effects induced by them on students. Finally, we will present an innovative viewpoint of research, on the relationship betwe…
Qualidade docente e eficácia escolar
2008
Este texto visa a explorar uma faceta do funcionamento do sistema escolar que permite associar a implementação de políticas públicas, no caso, a distribuição dos professores pelas escolas e salas de aula, e à avaliação dos impactos dessa distribuição do ponto de vista da busca por maior igualdade de oportunidades. Para discutir essa questão, usaremos os dados de pesquisa realizada no Brasil, na Argentina, no Chile e no México, com informações de 96 escolas e professores, assim como de 2048 alunos de 4ª série que estudavam em escolas situadas em bairros pobres de Belo Horizonte, Buenos Aires, Santiago e Guanajuato. Inicialmente, discutimos alguns dos elementos das políticas educacionais lati…
Urban Storm-Water Quality Management: Centralized versus Source Control
2010
The continuous growth of urban areas and the increasing public awareness of the environmental impacts of storm water have raised interest on the quality of the receiving water bodies. In the past two decades, many efforts have been directed at improving urban drainage systems by introducing mitigation measures to limit the negative environmental impacts of storm water. These mitigation measures are generally called best management practices (BMPs), sustainable urban drainage systems, or low impact developments, and they include practices such as infiltration and storage tanks that reduce the peak flow and retain some of the polluting materials. Choosing the best mitigation measure is still …
Memorias silenciadas en la construcción de los servicios sociales
2006
Joaquin.Garcia-Roca@uv.es Este artículo revisa la historia de la formación del sistema público de servicios sociales en España y expone «las rutas que no se navegaron», los derechos y las aspiraciones a que dieron lugar o conformaron unas expectativas, el origen de la des institucionalización, la pérdida de movimiento social y el desarrollo comunitario. El principio neoliberal y la exaltación de la gestión, la conquista de las profesiones y la ingeniería social han contribuido a silenciar un proceso que todavía se puede recuperar. ¿Cómo? El autor plantea que los servicios sociales han de ser capaces de producir significados personales tales como el sentido de pertenencia, la confianza, la i…
Comparison of problem solving tools in lean organizations
2017
As global market competition is getting fiercer, and companies are looking at ways to stay on top, more and more organizations are looking at Lean Manufacturing and lean tools to support them in achieving their goals. Especially within the automotive industry, lean practices are very well received. The speed at which the automotive industry is evolving, especially but not only, in countries like Romania, leads to the need to carefully analyze lean manufacturing concepts, examine them against local production conditions, and to develop and standardize them. One of the most important things to take into consideration here is the application of an adequate problem solving technique to avoid wa…
Comparing the Effect Size of School Level Support on Teachers’ Technology Integration
2020
Teachers are expected to lead the innovative use of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) at the classroom level of context. However, research literature shows that a number of factors influence their ICT pedagogical practices. Therefore, the present study investigates the influence of school level support on teacher educators’ technology integration. A mixed method is used to collect data through three focused interviews (N = 19) and self-completion survey (N = 136). The data collected is analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The result shows support for the model hypothesized and suggests that the ICT pedagogical practices of the teacher educators do not predict their t…
Como as práticas ecológicas e o desperdício de alimentos influenciam o capital de marca do restaurante?
2020
Resumen El presente trabajo tuvo por objetivo evaluar la incidencia de las prácticas verdes, la innovación sostenible y el manejo del desperdicio alimentario en la construcción del capital de marca de los restaurantes. A partir de una investigación cuantitativa dirigida a responsables de restaurantes en Ecuador, se obtuvieron 120 cuestionarios válidos que permitieron estimar un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales a través de la regresión de mínimos cuadrados parciales. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que las prácticas verdes orientadas a la formación del empleado y la innovación sostenible contribuyen significativamente a la reducción del desperdicio alimentario, que, a su vez, junto a l…
Efeitos da sustentabilidade e valor logístico nas relações entre empresas de transporte marítimo
2020
Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar cómo la sostenibilidad (económica, social y ambiental), bajo el enfoque de triple línea base, afecta la calidad de servicio, el valor logístico y la satisfacción en empresas del sector marítimo. Se propone un modelo teórico que se contrasta con la información suministrada por una muestra de 50 responsables de empresas (transitarios, importadores y exportadores) en Panamá. La información se analiza mediante la estimación de regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales, que permite confirmar el carácter multidimensional de la sostenibilidad y del valor logístico. Los resultados también confirman que las percepciones de los clientes sobre las inici…
Using plot soil loss distribution for soil conservation design
2011
Abstract Soil conservation design is generally based on the estimation of average annual soil loss but it should be developed taking into account storms of a given return period. However, use of frequency analysis in soil erosion studies is relatively limited. In this paper, an investigation on statistical distribution of soil loss measurements was firstly carried out using a relatively high number of simultaneously operating plots of different lengths, λ (11, 22, 33 and 44 m) at the experimental station of Sparacia (southern Italy). Using a simple normalization technique, the analysis showed that the probability distribution of the normalized soil loss is independent of both the scale leng…
