Assessment Tests in the Mathematics Teaching Guides in Spain. Analysis of the Content Blocks and the Treatment of Arithmetic Word Problems
2021
The teaching guides that complement textbooks have key importance in the assessment of competence in problem solving, because these materials contain the assessment tools that teachers frequently use to quantify the achievements of their students. In this paper, we set two aims: to analyze which curriculum contents are given priority in the assessment tests of the teaching guides

In Search of Dialogicity: A Comparison of Curricular Documents and Classroom Interactions from Finland and Hong Kong
2017
The prevailing consensus is that science teaching should be more student-centered and guide learners towards more phenomenon-based and authentic problem-solving activities. This approach is reflected in educational policies and recently reformed curricula. However, there is limited research on how these frameworks actually manifest in curricula and how to facilitate student-centered pedagogy. In this study, we examine the student-centered features of the curricula of two countries: Finland and Hong Kong. Student-centeredness in the classroom can be assessed using the principles of dialogicity. Dialogic principles underpin student-centeredness, particularly in teacher-orchestrated whole-clas…
Sleep HERMES: a European Core Syllabus in respiratory disorders during sleep.
2011
The clinical characterisation and description of the obstructive sleep apnoea–hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) and related syndromes were mainly revealed by several epidemiological studies conducted over the past fifty years. These highly prevalent syndromes affect about 9% of middle-aged men and 4% of women. These syndromes have serious medical and social consequences, such as cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, and even premature death. Consequently, respiratory sleep medicine (RSM) evolved and has progressed rapidly within the sleep medicine field over recent decades. New diagnostic and therapeutic techniques have appeared in response to an increasing number of patients and clinical interven…
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…
Pédagogie muséale et enseignement du volcanisme à la Réunion
2003
Research into pedagogy in museums underlines the double tranposition of the theory principles of the science media and of psycho-pedagogy. At stake is understanding why and how pupils can build their scientific learning in a museum environment. This present contribution will propose a reflection on this issue based on the example of the teaching of volcanism on Réunion Island. The analysis of interviews conducted with teachers in first schools and secondary schools shows to what extent the pupils benefit from a significant pedagogical impact in the framework of their visits to the thematic museum in Piton de la Fournaise. The results show that the teachers, going further than the objectives…
Qualidade docente e eficácia escolar

Inicialmente, discutimos alguns dos elementos das políticas educacionais lati…
