Drames d'amour : étude psychanalytique des crimes passionnels / Love tragedies : psychoanalytic study of crimes of passionLaufer, Danièle 22 March 2016 (has links)
Notre pratique d’expert psychologue au pénal nous a amenée à entreprendre cette recherche, sur les crimes passionnels. Cette catégorie, non reconnue par le droit met l’accent sur ce qui se joue parfois de façon dramatique entre un homme et une femme. Amour, crime et folie fondent l’humanité.La criminologie, au XIXe siècle, à partir des aliénistes et de la médecine légale, s’inscrivant dans un mouvement de défense sociale, a posé la question de la folie et de la dangerosité de ces criminels. Au XXIe siècle, le signifiant majeur est violence faite aux femmes, la femme devient victime ayant des droits à défendre. La psychanalyse, avec Freud et Lacan mettent la dimension de l’acte et du désir au cœur de la psyché. Lacan a montré, avec Aimée la dimension imaginaire du crime, puis sa dimension symbolique dans les années 50. Avec son dernier enseignement, et l’invention de l’objet a, la causalité du passage à l’acte est psychique et s’inscrit dans le réel.Reconnaître le hors sens du crime permet de ne pas disjoindre passage à l’acte et personnalité, et peut amener le sujet à accéder à sa responsabilité et à être jugé en conséquence.Les neurosciences ne peuvent dire ce qu’est l’amour ou le crime, les techniques actuarielles ne permettent pas de le prédire.L’amour est un semblant qui voile l’impossible du rapport sexuel. La clinique continuiste de la psychose, formulée par Miller met l’accent sur la nécessité de l’invention au cas par cas. Lors de séparations, lorsque l’amour ne fait plus sinthome, face à une irruption de jouissance, le sujet s’il ne trouve pas de solution, peut passer à l’acte.Il s’agit alors de suicide altruiste, dans un acte d’ « amour altruiste ». / Our pratical experience as a psychologist expert in court, has led us to undertake this research into crimes of passion. This category not recognized by the law, emphasizes the dramatical situation arising between man and woman. Passion, crime and madness are the basis of mankind.19th century criminology from psychiatrist and forensic science onwards, as part of a social protection movement has stated the question of madness and dangerousness of these criminals. Nowadays, in the 21st century, the most significant signifier is woman’s abuse : women are victims with rights to fight for.Psychoanalysis, with Freud and Lacan make act and desire, central to psyche. Lacan has shown with Aimée the imaginary dimension of crime, then evolving into a symbolic dimension in the fifties. With his latest teaching and the invention of the object « a », causality of acting out is psychic and anchors in the real.Admitting the absurdity of crime prevents us from separating act and personality and can bring the subject to accepting his responsability and be judged consequently.Neurosciences are helpless to say what is passion or crime, and actuarial techniques do not help us to predict it. Love is a pretence masking the impossibility of the sexual intercourse. The clinical approach of continuist psychosis, as formulated by Miller, emphasizes the importance of invention distinctively. During break-up proceedings, when love is not a « sinthome » any longer, faced with a surge of overwhelming pleasure, the subject when unable to find an answer to his problem, may act out.We may then speak of altruistic suicide in an « altruisitic act of love ».

Investigating students' experiences of examination as summative assessment for theoretical subjects at the Department of Industrial DesignDos Santos, Victor 08 June 2012 (has links)
M.Ed. / The department of Industrial Design at the University of Johannesburg implements year-end written examinations for all of its theoretical subjects as a final summative assessment. This assessment process has remained largely unchanged since the inception of the course and remains an important period within the academic calendar. This method of assessment is the mainstay of the assessment process employed at the department with regard to the theoretical subjects offered. However, students’ experiences of this phenomenon are unknown. Reasons for this are varied but, primarily, a lack of open communication between lecturers and students as a result of the nature of the discipline has compromised deeper understanding of the student experience. Previous research regarding assessment within the broad art and design field has focussed intently on the subjective studio critique as a method of assessment of practical work. The results of previous research have, therefore, side lined investigation of written end-of-year examinations. It is with this in mind that the focus of this study is to investigate students’ experiences of written examination within the context of industrial design education. This study investigates written year-end examinations as a phenomenon and identifies possible linkages to Transformative Learning (TL) theory. That is to say, students’ experiences of examination are investigated as contextual experiences that may or may not bring about transformation in meaning structures that initiate critical reflection. According to TL theory, students who are able to reflect critically on experiences will be able to adopt and even accept different viewpoints. Such a changed viewpoint is critical to establish in order to understand if and how students learn through transformation as a result of their experiences of the phenomenon of written examination.

Learners’ errors when solving algebraic tasks : a case study of grade 12 mathematics examination papers in South AfricaMamba, Andile 24 July 2013 (has links)
M.Ed. (Mathematics in Education) / In spite of the efforts of the South African government, the Gauteng Department of Education and many business and private funders to place a high emphasis on mathematics performance, the mathematics achievement of South African learners is still less than desirable. In fact, the results of the three Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) (Howie, 2001, 2003) reports in 1995, 1999 and 2003 reported South African learners as the lowest performing in those tests; performing well below the international average amongst the countries that participated. The Southern African Consortium for Monitoring Quality 2004 and Center for Development in Education 2004, 2010 and 2011 reports results show similar results (Moloi, 2005). The research study sought to get a deep understanding of why learners1 continue to perform poorly, and what the factors are which contribute to poor performance. While there are a number of factors responsible for the poor performance, one of the least researched areas is answered examination scripts. This research entailed a detailed error analysis of four items of the 2008 mathematics paper 1 senior certificate examination scripts, to see the trends and patterns of written responses with regards to the types of errors made by learners. The study was aimed at investigating South African Grade 12 learners‘ errors exhibited when solving quadratic equations, quadratic inequalities and simultaneous equations. Findings of this investigation shed light of the kind of knowledge learners bring into their learning experiences and this knowledge affects how they encode and later retrieve new information learned (Davis, 1984). While the study was not a mixed methods one, the data was analysed quantitatively using frequency counts and qualitatively by studying selected learners‘ solution of examination tasks. The study also identified common errors in the learners‘ work. The four items analysed in the study comprised of questions from three important areas of algebra namely: quadratic equations, quadratic inequalities and simultaneous equations. The scripts were analysed for carelessness, conceptual and procedural errors. The learner misconceptions were discovered in learners‘ work; v these comprised the notions of equality and inequality, the construct of the variable, order of operations, factorisation, and solution of equations instead of inequalities. From this, the researcher noted that learners' learning difficulties are usually presented in the form of errors they show. Not all the errors that learners had are the same; some errors in procedures can simply be due to learners' carelessness or overloading working memory (Davis, 1984). Some errors in procedures can be caused by faulty algorithms or "buggy algorithms". Other errors can have certain conceptual basis and can be termed as ‗misconceptions‘. The results obtained indicated a number of error categories under each conceptual area, namely, quadratic equations and inequalities and simultaneous equations. Some errors emanated from misconceptions. Under the conceptual areas indicated above, the main reason for misconceptions seemed to be the lack of understanding of the basic concepts including numbers and numerical operations; functions; the order of operations; equality; algebraic symbolism; algebraic equations, expressions and inequalities; and difference between equations, expressions and inequalities. The abstract nature of algebraic expressions posed many problems to learners such as understanding or manipulating them according to accepted rules, procedures, or algorithms. Inadequate understanding of the uses of the equal sign and its properties when it is used in an equation was a major problem that hindered learners from solving equations correctly. The main difficulty in inequalities was manipulating the inequalities correctly and converting the inequality to an equation. Recommendations to the mathematics educational community based on this research were made.

The Effects of Computer Versus Personal Administration on Measures of Verbal and Spatial Short-Term MemoryMcFarlane, Gilbert John 05 1900 (has links)
This study sought to investigate the influence of expressive task demand, as determined by amount of face-to face social interaction, level of subjects' expressive ability, sex of subject, and sex of experimenter on subjects' digit and visual-spatial short-term memory span performance. The amount of personal contact was manipulated by the automated versus person administrations of the memory measures. The automated administration was accomplished through the use of a microcomputer.

Cross-cultural study of test-wisenessMan, Daisy Wailing January 1990 (has links)
The objectives of this study were to investigate the cultural differences in test-wiseness between Chinese and Canadian students; to study the impact of test-wiseness on British Columbia Grade 12 provincial examination results among Chinese students in British Columbia; and to examine the relationship of test-wiseness, and four correlates (verbal ability, achievement motivation, length of residency in Canada, multiple choice experience) among the Chinese students.
The Test of Test-wiseness and Student Survey questionnaire were administered to 41 Grade 12 foreign Chinese students who wrote the provincial examinations in January 1990. Completed test data were compared with the same data from Canadian and Chinese immigrant students who wrote the provincial examination in June 1989. The data were analyzed by a linear regression model.
The results indicated that ethnicity accounted for a significant amount of variance in test-wiseness. Foreign Chinese students were significantly less test-wise than both Canadian and Chinese immigrant students. Foreign Chinese students scored significantly lower than the other two groups in absurd-options, different-options, stem-options link and guessing subtests in the Test of Test-wiseness.
The results also showed that test-wiseness did not account for a significant amount of variance in provincial examination scores (English 12 and Algebra 12). The four correlates together accounted for very little variance in test-wiseness. None of them significantly correlated with test-wiseness, except that length of residency in Canada correlated positively with test-wiseness. Finally, the three ethnic groups showed no significant differences in achievement motivation but foreign Chinese students scored significantly lower than Chinese immigrant students who scored in turn lower than Canadian students in verbal ability.
The findings imply that language plays a crucial part in test-taking situations. With inadequate English language skills, foreign Chinese students were unable to satisfactorily comprehend the test questions, and hence their test performance were very close to what would be expected from random guessing. It is suggested that these students require examination coaching skills as well as improvement in English language skills. / Education, Faculty of / Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of / Graduate

Teacher certification content area tests: Predictors of teacher knowledge for post-baccalaureate secondary candidates.Jackson, Jennifer K. 05 1900 (has links)
In response to a growing teacher shortage, increasing numbers of secondary teachers are prepared through streamlined certification programs. For this reason, assessing candidates' content area knowledge gained from institutions of higher education across the United States is an important program admission factor as candidates must demonstrate content area knowledge by passing a Texas content area certification test (TExES). This study examines content knowledge for candidates enrolled in an online post-baccalaureate program from September 1, 2002 through April 30, 2005. Academic transcript analysis and grades 8-12 subject tests of the TExES were used as a proxy for subject matter knowledge for a sample of individuals seeking initial teacher certification in a post-baccalaureate teacher certification at the University of North Texas. Descriptive data,linear regression, and logistic regression analyses were used to draw conclusions about the content area knowledge of the individuals in the sample. Scores on the TExES were used to determine the relationships between the content area knowledge of initial certification students and the number of content area courses completed, the grade point averages, and time elapsed between the completion of the last content area course and the student's initial attempt on the TExES. Results differed by the content area of the candidates. Analysis of variance results indicate significant differences between the five test groups with regard to number of courses taken F(4,139) = 9.334, p < .001 grade point average F(4,139) = 5.733, p < .001 and time between the last course taken F(4,139) = 6.135, p < .001. The three-predictor model was statistically significant F(3,32) = 3.753, p = .02 for the History test group. The variable, upper-level grade point average accounted for approximately 12% variance among scores within the History test group, and the variable months of time elapsed between last content area course work and the initial state content examination accounted for approximately 13% of variance among scores.
