Introduction. Le raisonnement clinique (RC) est une compétence médicale clé. Cette thèse soutient que l'organisation et la mise en lien systématique et explicite entre les données d'une patiente ou d'un nouveau-né et les connaissances d'un étudiant améliore sa performance dans la résolution de cas cliniques courants de la pratique sage-femme. Objectifs. Identifier les difficultés de RC d'étudiants en maïeutique et leurs causes explicatives ; identifier l'utilisation des cartes conceptuelles (CC) en lien avec le raisonnement clinique ; solliciter le RC des étudiants par la résolution de cas cliniques courants, identifier leurs perceptions et analyser leurs performances en fonction de leur niveau d'acquisition des CC.Méthodes. Etude exploratoire mixte, revue de la littérature, et expérimentation auprès de 97 étudiants de trois écoles de maïeutique. Analyse de 570 questionnaires et 352 CC. Résultats. Sept causes de difficultés de RC identifiées, parmi lesquelles le défaut de mise en liens entre les connaissances. Le potentiel d'utilisation des CC est confirmé par la littérature. L'expérimentation montre l'acceptabilité des CC et une aide à la résolution dans 50% des cas. Il existe un lien entre la maîtrise des CC, la cohérence du RC et le niveau de performance de résolution des cas. Cette dernière dépend de la représentation initiale du cas (concept de départ) et de la hiérarchisation des concepts, mais pas de la forme de la CC. Les CC permettent également d'identifier les difficultés des étudiants et d'établir un diagnostic pédagogique. Conclusion. La recherche valide l'hypothèse de départ et débouche sur des propositions pour utiliser les CC dans la formation au RC. / Introduction. Clinical reasoning (CR) is a key competence that students in health sciences must acquire. This thesis argues that concept mapping improves midwives students' performance in clinical problem solving. Objectives. Identify midwives students CR difficulties and their explanatory causes; identify the use of concept mapping and show compatibility between concept mapping and recommendations for clinical reasoning; introduce concept maps (CMs) in clinical solving learning sessions and observe their effects.Methods. Mixed exploratory study, literature review and experimentation including 97 students nested in three schools of midwifery: 570 questionnaires and 352 CMs were analysed. Results. Seven causes of CR difficulties were identified. Literature confirms CMs may be a relevant tool for clinical reasoning teaching and learning. By making knowledge explicit CM helps one out of two students to improve clinical problem solving performance when CM include a correct core concept and when concepts are hierarchically organized. The best performing students are those who acquire the construction of CMs.Conclusion. The research validates the starting assumption and leads to proposals of using CMs in CR learning. Concept mapping might be an interesting activity to foster CR and identify the difficulties that students may encounter.

Preparing student teachers for constructivist teaching about society in primary grades Michaela Dvořáková Abstract The content of primary social studies could be described as cultural universals - domains of human existence that form part of everybody's experience. Despite that, children do need a skilled instruction helping them to elaborate these topics. We suppose that for the constructivist teachers, deep content knowledge and pedagogic content knowledge is necessary to elaborate and conceptualize children's experiences. In this thesis, we wanted to learn more about the knowledge base of pre-service teachers. To explore the education students' content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of social studies topics, we elicited students' concepts related to the topic of family using concept mapping. Then we performed the content analysis of the obtained concepts. We tried to determine whether pre-service teachers rely on their prior knowledge (including misconceptions) of family or whether they use the knowledge gained in social science classes at the high school or at our university. Students do not use their academic knowledge gained in social studies classes spontaneously, but they are able to do when prompted. An important part of pedagogical content knowledge of a social studies teacher are the...

This action research study investigated the feasibility of a novice teacher using concept maps as assessments in secondary science classes. The subjects in this study were the researcher, a novice pre-service science teacher, and students (n=35) in two classes of mixed-grade Foundations in Physics and Chemistry. This study tracked student and teacher experiences over an instructional unit in astronomy. All students received a 50-minute lesson on concept mapping, one class received three additional concept mapping lessons during the unit, then all students took a unit test with a paired short answer and concept map question. Student surveys were conducted to gather student feedback, and teacher reflective journaling was used to track teacher data. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results indicated that the extra concept mapping lessons did not result in higher scores on the concept maps or the paired short answer responses. The teacher journaling revealed that using concept mapping as an assessment tool was possible for a novice teacher. Advantages and barriers were identified.

本研究應用系統思考為基礎所發展出來的系統結構圖方法，結合電腦模擬活動，引導學生感知系統動態性及複雜性，設計自然科學教學方案進行教學；同時比較融入概念階層聯結為基礎的概念構圖方法教學、及一般教學的學生認知表現。具體而言，本研究目的為：在自然科學學習歷程中，結合環狀關聯的系統結構圖，及階層關聯的概念構圖方法，比較二圖形學習策略對學生成就測驗及知識結構的表現差異。 研究採多基線實驗研究法，以國小五年級學生樣本，共三個班級，100人，分列為對照組、系統結構圖策略組、及概念構圖策略組。以自編的複本測驗、實作評量檢核表，及應用路徑探測法(Pathfinder)，評估學生認知表現與知識結構。 結果發現，採用系統結構圖策略或概念構圖策略，均能增進學生認知表現，且記憶保留效果會優於不特別採用策略者，其知識結構的表現亦存在差異；而二種圖形式學習策略的各項認知表現之間，不存在任何差異；不同能力組別與不同學習策略間，具交互作用存在。 本研究證實，在學習歷程中，採用概念構圖策略或系統結構圖策略，將比採用一般教學方法，較能有效增進學生的學習表現及保留效果，其知識結構也會較接近專家表現。因此在教學歷程中，結合策略進行教學有其必要性。圖像式的思考及學習方法能有效協助學生學習。然而研究所取用的二種圖形策略的思考本質是不同的，一重視靜態架構、一重視動態因果變化，未來研究者可進一步探究造成改變的內在機制，及是否能真正轉化為習用的思考型態。 / The world of system and system thinking marks a shift from the more linear, analytic way of thinking that most people are used to. A system is a group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent components that form a complex and unified whole. Systematic structure diagram is a useful tool to offer a glimpse into the complex systems behavior. Concept mapping, known as cognitive maps or organizers, semantic networks, or visual/graphic organizers, make use of figures, lines, arrows, and spatial configurations to show how content ideas and concepts are related. Concept mapping is described repeatedly in the literature as a tool that can support and enhance students’ learning in science classrooms. It is an important meta-cognitive tool in science education today. The research uses the experiment methodology of multiple baselines designs. In the study 100 students in 3 classes at grad 5 were studied to see the implications of the learning results. Assign the subjects to three groups, control group (n=34), Systematic structure diagramming group (n=33), and concept mapping group (n=33). The graphics oriented strategies, Systematic structure diagramming /concept mapping, were used in the teaching processes of the systematic structure diagramming group /concept mapping group. The researcher evaluated the performance of the subjects with duplicated-tests, checklists, and Pathfinder. The testing of the students was done in a pretest-posttests design using written tests. Data were analyzed in the use of three-factor repeated measures. The analysis of repeated measures showed a statistically significant difference in duplicated-tests and knowledge structures between control group and two experimental groups. There also exists an interaction between group and strategy. The result revealed that concept mapping may improve test scores of low-achieving students. This research verified that the learning performances, knowledge structures, organizations, and delayed memories of the subjects who belong to concept mapping strategy group and systematic structure diagramming strategy group were better than control group. The results indicated that, for improving students’ learning performances and retention effects, adapting concept mapping strategy and systematic structure diagramming strategy in the teaching processes may help students form a cognitive schema to assimilate and relate the information. Base on the results from this study, some recommendations educators were suggested.

La littérature contient une abondance d’information sur les approches de design impliquant les utilisateurs. Bien que les chercheurs soulèvent de nombreux avantages concernant ces approches, on en sait peu sur ce que les concepteurs des entreprises en pensent. Ce projet a pour but de connaître les perceptions des concepteurs de produits quant aux outils de design participatif puis, d’identifier les opportunités et limites qu’ils évoquent à ce sujet, et finalement, de faire des suggestions d’outils qui faciliteraient l’introduction du design participatif dans un processus de design existant. Après avoir fait un survol du domaine du design participatif et de ses outils, six cas sont étudiés au moyen d’entrevues semi-dirigées conduites auprès de concepteurs de produits. Les données sont analysées à l’aide de cartes cognitives. En ce qui concerne les outils de design participatif, les participants rencontrés perçoivent un accès direct aux besoins des utilisateurs et la possibilité de minimiser les erreurs en début de processus donc, d’éviter les modifications coûteuses qu’elles auraient entraînées. Les obstacles perçus par les concepteurs sont principalement liés à la résistance au changement, à la crainte de laisser créer ou décider les utilisateurs, ainsi qu’au manque de temps et de ressources de l’équipe. Finalement, sur la base des informations collectées, nous suggérons quatre outils de design participatif qui semblent plus intéressants : l’enquête contextuelle, les sondes, les tests de prototypes et l’approche « lead user ». Pour faire suite à ce travail, il serait intéressant d’élaborer un protocole de recherche plus exhaustif pour augmenter la portée des résultats, ou encore, d’appliquer le design participatif, dans une entreprise, afin d’explorer la satisfaction des gens quant aux produits conçus, les effets collatéraux sur les équipes impliquées, l’évolution des prototypes ou le déroulement des ateliers. / Many approaches were developed to foster user involvement in design activities and the amount of data pertaining to this field is substantial. However, we know little about what designers think about these methods. This research aims at knowing how designers perceive the methods used in participatory design including the opportunities and limits they identify regarding these approaches and finally, suggest a set of tools to implement user participation in a design process. After presenting an overview of the participatory design domain and its tools, six cases are studied using semi-structured interviews with designers. Data is analysed using mind maps. Concerning participatory design tools, the designers perceive, a possible means to minimise errors in the front end of the design process thus avoiding costly changes in the end. The limits they perceive come from resistance to change and reluctance to share the creative and decisive parts of the process with users. Moreover, the lack of time and resources are reported to be a limitation by many. Finally, based on the information collected, four methods are chosen as being more interesting: contextual inquiry, probes, prototype testing and the lead user approach. Continuing this work would imply creating a more exhaustive research protocol involving more participants to extend the scope of the results or, applying participatory design and looking into people’s satisfaction towards the resulting products, collateral effects on the teams involved, prototype evolution through the process or workshops progress.

Ce projet de recherche revisite la conceptualisation du logement et des ressources résidentielles pour les adultes avec un trouble mental. Les objectifs visent : (1) à identifier les attributs, dimensions et domaines ; (2) à développer un nouveau modèle ; (3) à concevoir un instrument de mesure pour décrire l’éventail des ressources résidentielles en santé mentale. Méthodologie : Phase 1: Le devis de recherche s’articule autour de la cartographie de concepts, caractérisée par une méthodologie mixte. L’échantillonnage, par choix raisonné, a permis de recueillir une pluralité de perceptions et d’expériences (p.ex. personnes utilisatrices de services, proches, responsables de ressources résidentielles, gestionnaires). Les participants proviennent de cinq régions du Québec (nombre total de participations = 722). Au cours des six étapes de la cartographie de concepts, les participants ont généré des attributs décrivant le logement (n = 221), leur ont accordé une cote numérique (n = 416) et les ont regroupés en catégories (n = 73). Douze participants ont interprété des cartes conceptuelles produites par des analyses multivariées, soit l’échelonnage multidimensionnel (MDS) et la typologie hiérarchique. Des analyses par composantes principales (PCAs) ont été utilisées pour raffiner la conceptualisation (n = 228). Phase II: L’instrument a été développé, utilisé et ajusté à la suite de deux groupes de discussions (n = 23) et d’une étude transversale auprès de ressources résidentielles (n = 258). La passation se fait via une entrevue téléphonique semi-structurée enregistrée, d’une durée moyenne de 130 minutes. Résultats : Les participants ont généré 1382 idées (99.5% de saturation). Les cartes conceptuelles issues de la cartographie de concepts comprennent 140 idées (attributs du logement), 12 dimensions et cinq domaines (indice de stress MDS = 0.2302, 10 itérations). Les analyses PCAs ont permis de retenir quatre domaines, 11 composantes (α = 0.600 à 0.933) et 81 attributs. Les domaines sont : (1) environnement géophysique; (2) atmosphère et fonctionnement du milieu; (3) soutien et interventions offerts; (4) pratiques organisationnelles et managériales. L’instrument développé comprend quatre domaines, 10 dimensions et 83 attributs. À cela s’ajoutent des variables descriptives. L’instrument résulte des Phases I et II de ce projet. Conclusion : L’instrument a été développé en collaboration avec diverses parties prenantes, à partir de considérations ontologiques, réalistes, causales et statistiques. Il dresse le profil détaillé d’une ressource résidentielle sous ses différentes facettes et s’appuie sur la prémisse qu’il n’existe pas de milieu résidentiel idéal pour tous. / It is still a challenge to systematically describe housing for adults with severe mental illness and identify attributes that differentiate between facilities. While revisiting housing conceptualization, this research project objective is threefold: (1) identify common and commensurate housing attributes, dimensions and domains; (2) generate a new housing model; (3) develop an environmental instrument to describe housing ranging from 24-hour staffed congregate settings to apartment with no onsite support. Methods: Phase 1: A mixed-methods participatory approach as well as a purposeful sampling strategy designed to gather a mixture of relevant viewpoints were used. Participants were from five regions of Quebec and included multiple stakeholders (e.g. consumers, family members, operators of facilities, managers). As part of a six-step group concept mapping process, participants brainstormed (n = 221), rated (n = 416) and sorted (n = 73) into categories housing attributes. Participants (n = 12) were also involved in the interpretation of the conceptual maps produced using two-dimensional multidimensional scaling (MDS) and hierarchical cluster analysis (total incidents of participation = 722). These maps and the rating data obtained from a subgroup of participants (n = 228) were used to conduct principal components analyses (PCAs) to refine the conceptualization. Phase II: An instrument was designed, used and adjusted. The study design included two focus groups with experts (n = 23) as well as a cross sectional survey with 258 residential facilities. The instrument was administered using audio-taped semi-structured telephone interviews (130 minutes in average). Results: Participants brainstormed 1382 statements (99.5% saturation). The conceptual maps (MDS stress value = 0.2302, 10 iterations) comprised 140 selected statements (housing attributes), 12 dimensions and five preliminary domains. Corroboration and refinement using PCAs retained four domains, 11 components (α = 0.600 to 0.933) and 81 attributes. The domains are: (1) geo-physical environment; (2) milieu atmosphere and functioning; (3) provision of services and support; (4) organizational and managerial practices. Based on Phase I and II results, the environmental instrument comprises 4 domains, 10 dimensions and 83 attributes. It also includes descriptive variables. Conclusion: The instrument was designed with stakeholders’ inputs and based on conceptual, statistical and empirical considerations. It provides a multifaceted facility profile based on multiple levels attributes. It covers several elements of healthcare quality assessment starting from the assumption that there is no ideal setting for all.

This thesis presents concept maps as an alternative tool for learning of adult university students. The theoretical part explains the changes in the ability to learn of these adult students. The thesis presents basic information about concept maps and describes specific examples for their use by university students. I describe the advantages and disadvantages which bring them this information recording graphical tool. The empirical part combines all topics of the theoretical part. Qualitative research presents the subjective views of adult university students on changes in their ability to learn. They try to create concept map and then they give their subjective views on this tool and their previous experience with it.
