Analyse didactique du volet numérique du programme Fluppy au préscolaire

Ste-Marie, Anik 06 1900 (has links)
La thèse porte sur l’analyse qualitative de situations didactiques intégrées au programme de prévention au préscolaire Fluppy. Conçu pour la prévention de la violence et du décrochage scolaire (Tremblay et al., 1992, Tremblay et al., 1995), ce programme s’est enrichi depuis une dizaine d’années de différentes composantes d’intervention, dont une sur l’enseignement du français et des mathématiques. Ce programme, relevant aujourd’hui d’une approche multimodale, a fait l’objet d’une évaluation d’impact en 2002-2004 (Capuano et al., 2010). Le devis quasi-expérimental n’a cependant pas permis de procéder à une analyse appropriée au cadre méthodologique, l’ingénierie didactique (Artigue, 1990), sur lequel se fondent les situations didactiques en mathématiques. La thèse procède donc à la validation interne des trois séquences numériques, issues de la composante mathématique, telles qu’expérimentées dans deux classes du préscolaire en 2011-2012. La première séquence vise au développement des connaissances sur la désignation de quantités. La deuxième sur la comparaison numérique et, la troisième, sur la composition additive des nombres. Les analyses mettent en évidence : 1) certains décalages entre la proposition didactique et la réalisation effective des situations; 2) l’évolution des connaissances numériques des élèves; 3) les forces et les limites de l’analyse a priori. L’interprétation des résultats ouvre sur un enrichissement de l’analyse a priori des situations didactiques ainsi que sur de nouvelles considérations relatives aux processus de dévolution et d’institutionnalisation dans le cadre de l’appropriation de situations didactiques par des enseignants du préscolaire. / The thesis focuses on the qualitative analysis of didactic situations incorporated in the prevention program, Fluppy, intended for preschool children. Originally designed for the prevention of violence and school dropout (Tremblay et al., 1992; Tremblay et al.,1995), over the last decade, this program has abundantly been enhanced of different intervention components, including French and mathematics teaching. This program, which is now part of a multimodal approach, has been the subject of an impact assessment in 2002-2004 (Capuano et al., 2010). The quasi-experimental instrument, has however failed to conduct a proper analysis of the methodological framework, the didactical engineering (Artigue, 1990); basis of the theory of didactical situations in mathematics. The thesis undertakes the internal validation of three numeric sequences –from the mathematical component– such as they were tested in two preschool classes in 2011-2012. The first sequence studies the development of C-knowledge regarding the designation of quantities. The second one tackles the numerical comparison, and the third one studies the additive composition of numbers. Analyzes reveal: 1) some discrepancies between the didactical proposal and the actual situations, 2) the development of students’ c-knowledge, and 3) the strengths and limitations of the a priori analysis. The interpretation of the results broadens the a priori analysis of didactical situations as well as arises new considerations on the devolution and institutionalization phenomena within the framework of preschool teachers’ appropriation of didactical situations.

In the analysis of the city the matters referred to the environment are considered, in order to understand how the urban sprawl and the respect for nature are reconciled. In addition to stand out in the south of Minas Gerais due to the attraction of industrial companies, Extrema shows promising prospects for the development of the local tourism, because of its waterfalls and mainly, the Serra do Lopo. The city located in a strong and strategic position, near the capital of São Paulo in the area of influence of the Highway, in recent years has shown strong growth and economic development because of the attraction of new industries and job creation. In this study, it is intended to understand Extrema in the context of the devolution process occurred mainly due to industrial overflow of the metropolitan region of Sao Paulo and the "war tax" between states and municipalities. It examined how the city reconciles economic development and sustainability, also taking advantage of the potential for tourism because of the beautiful scenery that the region offers, and preventing that the growth of the industries and tourism can cause environmental impacts / Esta dissertação aborda o crescimento e desenvolvimento urbano e industrial de Extrema, localizado no sul do Estado de Minas Gerais, a partir da duplicação da Rodovia Fernão Dias, BR 381, que liga a capital de São Paulo à Belo Horizonte. Na análise do município são levados em conta os aspectos referidos ao meio ambiente, de modo a compreender como é conciliada a expansão urbana e industrial e o respeito à natureza. Além de destacar-se no sul de Minas devido a atração de empreendimentos industriais, Extrema apresenta promissoras perspectivas para o desenvolvimento do turismo local, devido as suas cachoeiras e principalmente a Serra do Lopo. O município localizado em posição favorável e estratégica, próximo da capital paulista e na área de influência da Rodovia, vem apresentando nos últimos anos forte crescimento e desenvolvimento econômico devido à atração das novas indústrias e a geração de emprego. Busca-se nesse estudo, compreender Extrema no contexto do processo de desconcentração industrial ocorrido principalmente devido ao transbordamento da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo e a guerra fiscal entre Estados e municípios. É analisada a forma como o município concilia desenvolvimento econômico e sustentabilidade, aproveitando também do potencial turístico devido às belas paisagens que a região oferece e evitando que o crescimento das indústrias e do turismo causem impactos ambientais

This Centre was part of a broader project of the Federal Government (presidential decree 539/92) to promote joint activities of education, health, social support and assistantship to children, youth and their inclusion in society. This master study used qualitative primary data (semi-structured interviews) and secondary data (official documents) to analyze the historic implementation process of CAIC Paulo Dacorso Filho (1994-1997) and propose its conversion into a Centre for Education and Research Applied to Agroecology Studies, managed unilaterally by UFRRJ. Key themes were identified: educational context in the 1980?s and 1990?s; decentralization process in Brazil; main ?integral school? programs in the 1980?s and 1990?s; ?integral education? and agroecology. These themes were selected due to its relevance for this study. Key findings suggest that tripartite management model hindered the working of CAIC Paulo Dacorso Filho due to changes in the state and local governments; and due to confronting pedagogical differences with UFRRJ?s proposal. For example intermittent supply of school meals; high replacement of teachers interrupted their ongoing training; constant reduced wage of state staff; among others. This master study proposes that the aims and guidelines of the Centre for Education and Research Applied to Agroecology Studies be aligned with the interests of the UFRRJ. To this effect, agroecology must underpin Education, Research and Extension curricular activities. This study also proposes that this educational unit be a locus of training for local and state government?s teachers; as well as an additional practical field to train UFRRJ?s bachelor students. Finally, this centre will provide the community a quality educational program and will contribute to build up critical judgment and to reduce social inequality. / Em 1992 a Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) optou por implantar um Centro de Aten??o a Crian?a e ao Adolescente (CAIC) com o objetivo de atender aos alunos dos Cursos de Licenciatura da Universidade e as crian?as do Munic?pio de Serop?dica. Este Centro fazia parte de um projeto do Governo Federal (decreto 539/92) com o objetivo de promover a??es integradas de educa??o, sa?de, assist?ncia e promo??o social relativas ? crian?a e ao adolescente e a sua integra??o na comunidade. Esse estudo de mestrado utilizou dados qualitativos prim?rios (entrevistas semi estruturadas) e secund?rios (documentos oficiais) para analisar o hist?rico da implanta??o do CAIC Paulo Dacorso Filho (1994-1997) e propor a sua transforma??o em um Centro de Ensino e Pesquisa Aplicado ? Educa??o Agroecol?gica, administrado unicamente pela UFRRJ. Os principais temas abordados foram: o contexto educacional das d?cadas de 1980 e 1990; o processo de municipaliza??o da educa??o escolar no Brasil; os programas educacionais de tempo integral de maior visibilidade nas d?cadas de 1980 e 1990; a educa??o integral e a agroecologia. Os temas foram selecionados por sua rela??o com este objeto de estudo. Os resultados sugerem que o modelo de gest?o compartilhada dificultou o funcionamento do CAIC Paulo Dacorso Filho, devido a mudan?as de governo estadual e municipal e por confrontarem com o projeto pedag?gico proposto pela UFRRJ. Por exemplo, descontinuidade no fornecimento da merenda escolar; alta rotatividade de professores que dificultou sua forma??o continuada; perdas salariais para os funcion?rios estaduais, entre outros. Esse estudo prop?e que os objetivos e diretrizes do Centro de Ensino e Pesquisa Aplicado ? Educa??o Agroecol?gica estejam aliados aos interesses da UFRRJ no que se refere ao Ensino, Pesquisa e Extens?o, onde a vertente agroecol?gica seja a base das experi?ncias curriculares. Prop?e tamb?m que esta unidade educacional seja um local para forma??o de professores da rede municipal e estadual, bem como um campo de pr?tica adicional para forma??o de alunos de gradua??o da UFRRJ. Por fim, que ofere?a ? comunidade um ensino de qualidade e contribua para a constru??o do pensamento cr?tico e redu??o das desigualdades sociais.

D'une union à l'autre - intégration européenne et désintégration des États? Le cas de l'Écosse (1973-2017) / From One Union to the Next - European Integration and States Disintegration? The Case of Scotland (1973-2017)

Ringeisen-Biardeaud, Juliette 26 June 2017 (has links)
L’Écosse est une vieille nation européenne. Autrefois indépendante, elle s’est unie à l’Angleterre et au Pays de Galles en 1707 au moyen d’un traité d’Union. Aux termes de ce traité, elle a conservé une Église propre (l’Église d’Écosse), ainsi que des systèmes éducatif et juridique distincts de ceux de l’Angleterre. En 1998, de larges transferts de pouvoirs lui ont permis de ré-ouvrir son Parlement, dissous au moment de l’Union, et de voter ses propres lois dans les domaines qui lui sont dévolus, comme la santé, l’éducation, l’environnement, les questions rurales. Cette dévolution de pouvoirs lui a également permis de maintenir et de renforcer sa présence au sein de l’Union européenne. En effet, l’Écosse, forte d’un ancien rayonnement européen au moyen-âge, et bénéficiant de fonds structurels de la Commission européenne afin de rattraper ses retards de développements, a, dès le milieu des années 1980, compris le bénéfice qu’elle pouvait tirer de la Communauté économique européenne puis de l’Union européenne. Parallèlement au processus de dévolution des pouvoirs du Parlement britannique vers le Parlement écossais, le parti national écossais, le Scottish National Party, a ancré son projet d’indépendance de l’Écosse dans le cadre rassurant d’un maintien au sein de l’Union européenne. Lors du référendum sur l’indépendance de 2014, la question de la place de l’Écosse en Europe s’est invitée dans la campagne de manière insistante. Dans le cadre des négociations sur le Brexit, la possibilité d’un accord distinct pour l’Écosse (qui a refusé la sortie de l’Union européenne) se pose, alors qu’un second référendum sur l’indépendance se profile. Pour l’Union européenne, la question des nationalismes minoritaires provoque des difficultés, puisqu'il lui faut satisfaire les aspirations à la représentation démocratique soulevées par ces mouvements, tout en évitant à la fois la fragmentation des États membres et l’afflux de petits États membres, qui risqueraient de bloquer la mécanique institutionnelle communautaire. / Scotland is an old European nation which remained independent until the 1707 Treaty of Union under which it was united to England and Wales. Under the terms of this treaty, it has preserved a Church of its own (the Church of Scotland), as well as distinct educational and legal systems. In 1998, large transfers of powers enabled it to re-open its Parliament, which had been dissolved at the time of the Union, and to vote its own laws in certain devolved areas, such as health, education, the environment and rural matters. This devolution of powers has also enabled Scotland to maintain and strengthen its presence in the European Union. As early as the mid-1980s, Scotland, whose influence in Europe dated back to the Middle Ages and which benefited from structural funds from the European Commission that were intended to make up for some of its under developed regions, realised the benefit it could reap from the European Economic Community and later on from the European Union. As powers were being devolved from the British Parliament to the Scottish Parliament, the Scottish National Party anchored its Scottish independence project within the comforting framework of a maintained membership of the European Union. During the run-up to the referendum on the independence of 2014, the question of the place of Scotland in Europe was often raised. In the context of the negotiations on Brexit, the possibility of a separate agreement for Scotland (which refused to leave the European Union) is being considered, while a second referendum on independence is looming. For the European Union, the issue of minority nationalisms is a source of difficulties, since it must satisfy the aspirations to democratic representation that are fostered by these movements while avoiding the breaking-up of the Member States and the influx of small Member States which may block the Community's institutional machinery.

As a result, the relationship between ports and governments has changed. Devolution ideologies that had been applied in other industries decades ago were now being considered by governments for the port industry. Many central governments sought to extract themselves from commercial activities of ports and devolving this responsibility to local governments, communities or private entities. The institution of devolution programs also changed the governance structures of ports further influencing port performance. Consequently, the recent worldwide trend towards devolution in the port industry has spawned considerable variety of governance models that are now set in place around the world. While some countries opt for more decentralized structures others prefer to retain a centralization of powers. In this way some governments consider local features and national integration more than others, which ultimately influence the success of a port reform implementation. Nevertheless, the prime intent of governments is now to maximize the efficiency and performance of their domestic ports. This issue intends to examine the changed port governance environment in Brazil by determining how and why imposed port reforms of the Brazilian federal government have been affecting the overall performance of the national port system, over the last decades, using the Port of Santos as a sample upon an exploratory study. For that, the study will use a contingency theory-based framework – the Matching Framework - that views port performance as a function of the fit among the dimensions of external operating environment, strategy and structure of a port organization. In essence, the greater the fit among these dimensions the better the expected performance of a port will be, and vice-versa. Port managers, government officials and academics alike shall be interested in this document. / O papel do transporte marítimo no âmbito do comércio internacional foi renovado drasticamente durante o início do processo de globalização, o que aumentou a contribuição dos portos na economia mundial como principais nodos logísticos para a produção e o comércio global. Como resultado, o relacionamento entre portos e governos também mudou. Ideologias de descentralização que tinham vindo a ser aplicadas em outras indústrias décadas antes começaram recentemente a ser consideradas por vários governos para suas indústrias portuárias. Muitos governos centrais procuraram extrair-se das atividades comerciais dos portos devolvendo essa responsabilidade para governos e comunidades locais, ou até mesmo entidades privadas. A instituição de programas de devolução também mudou as estruturas de governança dos portos vindo a influenciar ainda mais o desempenho portuário. Por conseguinte, a recente tendência mundial para a descentralização do setor portuário tem gerado uma considerável variedade de modelos de governança em todo o mundo. Enquanto alguns países optam por estruturas mais descentralizadas outros preferem manter a sua tradicional centralização de poderes. Desta forma, alguns governos passam a considerar características locais e integração nacional mais do que outros, o que acaba por influenciar o sucesso da implementação de uma reforma portuária. No entanto, hoje a intenção primordial dos governos é cada vez mais maximizar a eficiência e desempenho de seus portos nacionais. Esta dissertação tem a intenção de analisar o ambiente de governança portuária no Brasil determinando como e por que as reformas portuárias impostas do governo federal Brasileiro vêm afetando o desempenho geral do sistema portuário nacional, ao longo dos últimos anos, estudando essas mudanças no porto de Santos como referência num estudo exploratório. Para isso, o estudo irá usar um modelo “Matching Framework” baseado na teoria da contingência que considera o desempenho portuário como função do ajuste entre as dimensões de ambiente externo operacional, de estratégia e de estrutura organizacional de uma entidade portuária. Em essência, quanto maior for o balanço entre estas dimensões melhor será o desempenho portuário esperado, e vice-versa. Gestores e trabalhadores portuários, políticos e acadêmicos deverão mostrar interessado neste documento.

L’imaginaire dans l’action publique territoriale / Imaginary in the territorial public sector

Lemouzy, Laurence 06 June 2017 (has links)
S’interrogeant sur leur permanence ou leur déclin. L’imaginaire se présente alors comme une ressource qui aide à « faire société ». A cette performance, le droit administratif, en particulier, n’y est pas étranger, puisqu’il donne corps à l’imaginaire par la création et l’invention de normes.Toutefois, les défaillances de la puissance publique — régulièrement dénoncées — signalent tantôt un affaiblissement, tantôt une saturation, voire même une transformation de l’imaginaire public. L’action publique apparaît comme victime de l’imaginaire, victime à la fois d’un trop plein mais aussi d’une absence d’imaginaire, les deux n’étant pas étranger à une surdétermination économique des enjeux de l’action publique territoriale. Cette tension conduit à s’interroger sur les phénomènes qui vitrifient la capacité d’imagination des acteurs publics. Alors que les collectivités territoriales sont considérées comme des prestataires de services et de droits individuels, quels symboles, quelles représentations, quelles promesses, l’action publique porte-t-elle aujourd’hui ? Quels sont les « nouveaux imaginaires politiques » possibles ? Existe-t-il des ouvertures utopiques qui permettraient de penser une action publique différente de celle que nous connaissons ? Il est ainsi question de mettre à jour les imaginaires qui innervent l’action publique. Les mettre à jour car ils empruntent des souterrains qui les rendent invisibles mais pourtant bien présents dans l’action publique territoriale d’aujourd’hui. / This research concern myths and tales who structure the territorial public sector. The purpose is to conduct a réflexion about their permanency or their decline. Then, imaginary must be understood like a way to « make society ». Administrative law, specifically, contribute to the performance of the imaginary by creating and inventing norms. However, the failures of the public sector — frequently denounced — signal sometimes a weakening, a saturation or a transformation of the public sectorimaginary. The public policies appears like a victim of the imaginary, a victim of an excess or a lack of imaginary, maybe because of the pressure and the influence of the economic power. This strain drives to interrogate themselves on the phenomena who cancel the capability of imagination among the public actors. While the local administrations are considered like service providers and individual rights providers too, which symbols, which representations, which promises does the public sector carry today ? What are the « new political imaginaries » ? Can we re-model public policies with utopia ? The question is to update the imaginaries attached to public policies. These imaginaries are invisible, hidden in the undergrounds but the are really present in the way to drive and build public policies today.

The aboriginal justice inquiry-child welfare initiative in manitoba: a study of the process and outcomes for Indigenous families and communities from a front line perspective

Gosek, Gwendolyn M 22 December 2017 (has links)
As the number of Indigenous children and youth in the care of Manitoba child welfare steadily increases, so do the questions and public debates. The loss of children from Indigenous communities due to residential schools and later on, to child welfare, has been occurring for well over a century and Indigenous people have been continuously grieving and protesting this forced removal of their children. In 1999, when the Manitoba government announced their intention to work with Indigenous peoples to expand off-reserve child welfare jurisdiction for First Nations, establish a provincial Métis mandate and restructure the existing child care system through legislative and other changes, Indigenous people across the province celebrated it as an opportunity for meaningful change for families and communities. The restructuring was to be accomplished through the Aboriginal Justice Initiative-Child Welfare Initiative (AJI-CWI). Undoubtedly, more than a decade later, many changes have been made to the child welfare system but children are still been taken into care at even higher rates than before the changes brought about by the AJI-CWI. In order to develop an understanding of what has occurred as a result of the AJI-CWI process, this study reached out to child welfare workers who had worked in the system before, during and after the process was put in place. Using a storytelling approach based in an Indigenous methodology, twenty-seven child welfare workers shared how they perceived the benefits, the deficits, the need for improvement and how they observed the role of Indigenous culture within the child welfare context. The stories provide a unique insight into how the changes were implemented and how the storytellers experienced the process, as well as their insights into barriers, disappointments, benefits and recommendations for systemic change. / Graduate

Problematika referend v demokracii: srovnání skotského a katalánského případu / The concept of referendums in democracy: a comparison of the Scottish and Catalan models

Dudycha, Petr January 2015 (has links)
The diploma thesis called 'the concept of referendums in democracy: a comparison of the Scottish and Catalan models', deals with the question of referendum in democracy which is an instrument for countries to become independent. The referendum is correctly known as a constitutional referendum. This thesis also deals with the application of a constitutional referendum in the cases of Scotland and Catalonia. The main purpose of this research is to analyse the conduct of the Scottish and Catalan referendums for independence, both of which were held in the autumn of 2014. The paper looks to identify the similarities and differences between these two examples. Both cases are based on seven variables in the research of referendums: 1) constitutional framework for holding a referendum of independence, 2) identification of the basic political process leading to a referendum, 3) organizational-administrative regulation of a referendum, 4) issues during the referendum campaign, 5) opinion polls for the referendum, 6) results of the referendum and 7) predicted consequences of the referendum. The final purpose of this thesis is to assess how these two models reflect on the current constitutional practice in a democratic society.
