L'adaptation des étudiants en programme d'échange interuniversitaire franco-taïwanais : pourquoi et comment envisager un programme préparatoire de FLE à leur intention / Adaptation of students in a French Taiwanese university exchange program : how and why consider a program oreparatory FLE for them

Lee, Hsin-I 30 May 2016 (has links)
L’étude dont nous présentons ici les résultats a pour objet l’étudiant sinophone (taïwanais) confronté au séjour d’un programme d’échange interuniversitaire avec la France. Cette étude s’intègre dans l’axe II de la section Adis-langues du laboratoire ICAR. Elle s’appuie sur l’hypothèse que l’étudiant taïwanais rencontre des difficultés d’adaptation à la fois sur le plan linguistique, culturel et méthodologique universitaires. Ces difficultés révèlent des manques, certains identifiables à travers l’analyse des besoins primordiaux du public étudié, analyse dont les résultats permettent ainsi de circonscrire les pistes d’un programme préparatoire de français langue étrangère (FLE) améliorant l’adaptation de ces étudiants aux études supérieures françaises. Nous avons travaillé sur des enquêtes par questionnaire sur deux années universitaires et en deux temps. Ces enquêtes ont été conçues dans le but d’identifier les besoins des étudiants, étape préalable indispensable à la mise en œuvre du processus de tout programme d’apprentissage visant un public cible, processus comprenant lui-même trois opérations essentielles : identifier les principaux besoins langagiers, culturels et méthodologiques universitaires ; formuler les objectifs d’apprentissage ; définir les contenus d’apprentissage. Pour étudier ces besoins, nous avons adopté une démarche plus heuristique que la méthode expérimentale proprement dite. Nous avons ainsi proposé aux étudiants cibles une enquête en ligne avant leur départ en France et une seconde après quelques mois de séjour en France. Notre travail s’appuie sur les résultats obtenus, à partir desquels nous avons établi des pistes pour un programme de FLE destiné à préparer en amont les étudiants taïwanais à venir vivre en France pour y poursuivre des études d’enseignement supérieur, avant de formuler des perspectives pour des études futures plus approfondies. / We present here the results of a study dealing with Chinese-speaking students (Taiwanese) when attending a student exchange program with France. This study is part of the axis II of Adis-language section of the ICAR laboratory. It is based on the assumption that the student meets Taiwanese adjustment difficulties in both linguistic, cultural and methodological university. These difficulties reveal some deficiencies identified through the analysis of the primary needs of the public studied: analyzing the results and helping define the tracks of a preparatory program of French foreign language (FLE), improving the adaptation of these students to French advanced education.We worked on questionnaire surveys over two academic years and in two phases. These surveys were designed to identify student needs, essential preliminary step in the implementation process of any learning program to a target audience, process itself including three essential steps: identifying the main language, cultural, and methodological needs for postgraduate education ; formulating learning goals ; defining learning content. To address these needs, we have adopted an approach which is more heuristic than true experimental method. We offered target students an online survey prior to their departure to France and a second one after a few months living in France. Our work is based on the collected results, from which we have established tracks for a FLE program to prepare upstream Taiwanese students to come to live in France to pursue higher education studies before making prospects in their future further studies.

Educação para sustentabilidade: contribuições para o desenvolvimento do tema em pós-graduações em administração / Education for sustainability: contributions to the theme of development postgraduates in administration

Marques, Carolina Sampaio 30 June 2016 (has links)
Education for Sustainability is seen as a powerful change and social transformation tool aimed at greater equity in relations between society and the environment. Thus, this dissertation aims to analyze the scenario of Education for Sustainability in cur¬sos Graduate Sensu stricto in Rio Grande do Sul State Administration - Brazil. For this, the nine master's programs in existing Administration in Rio Grande do Sul were searched. In terms of methodological procedures, a descriptive and exploratory research of qualitative nature was carried out to meet four distinct stages: i) analyze the pedagogical projects of the nine courses, covering characterization of the subjects and relations with sustainability in the curriculum; ii) the documentary analysis of all 1813 dissertations have been published in the gauchos masters, seeking to relate these documents to Sustainability; iii) analyzes of publications derived from dissertations to identify which "green" dissertations were published in books, events and journals and vi) interviews with coordinators of the programs to identify concepts of program management for Sustainability and teachers from different lines of research aimed at identify the concepts of Sustainability, teaching strategies and learning methodologies. In total, sixteen teachers and coordinators were interviewed. The results show that the pedagogical projects of the courses are committed to issues of regionalities and sustainable issues, but when that aspect is transferred to the subjects of the courses, this query can not be measured directly. In the item analysis of dissertations, it was observed that they do not have great representation, with only 126 of the total 1813 in academic master's degrees in Administration of Rio Grande do Sul. It was also observed that the Graduate programs do not have the incentive to sustainable management and conceptions of teachers are private and are related to the line of research in which they are linked not with the Graduate program. Thus, it analyzes the scenario is still capable of improvement, such as encouraging the publication of dissertations "green", the integration of sustainable curriculum and improvements in sustainable management. / A Educação para Sustentabilidade é vista como uma poderosa ferramenta de mudanças e transformações sociais visando uma maior equidade nas relações entre a sociedade e o ambiente. Assim, esta dissertação objetiva analisar o cenário da Educação para Sustentabilidade nos cursos de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Administração do estado do Rio Grande do Sul Brasil. Para isso, os nove programas de mestrado em Administração existentes no Rio Grande do Sul foram pesquisados. Em termos de procedimentos metodológicos, uma pesquisa descritiva e exploratória de natureza qualitativa foi realizada, visando atender quatro etapas distintas: i) analisar os projetos pedagógicos dos nove cursos, contemplando caracterização das disciplinas e relações com a Sustentabilidade no currículo; ii) Análise documental de todas as 1813 dissertações já publicadas nos mestrados gaúchos, buscando relacionar esses documentos com a Sustentabilidade; iii) análises das publicações oriundas das dissertações visando identificar quais as dissertações verdes foram publicadas em livros, eventos e periódicos e vi) Entrevistas com coordenadores dos programas visando identificar concepções sobre gestão dos programas para a Sustentabilidade e professores de diferentes linhas de pesquisa visando identificar as concepções sobre Sustentabilidade, estratégias de ensino e metodologias de aprendizagem. No total, dezesseis professores e coordenadores foram entrevistados. Os resultados apontam que os projetos pedagógicos dos cursos estão comprometidos com temáticas de regionalidades e com questões sustentáveis, porém quando este aspecto é transferido para as disciplinas dos cursos, este quesito não pode ser mensurado de forma direta. No quesito análise das dissertações, observou-se que estas não possuem grande representatividade, sendo apenas 126 do total de 1813 nos mestrados acadêmicos em Administração do Rio Grande do Sul. Observou-se também que os programas de Pós-Graduação não possuem o incentivo para a gestão sustentável e as concepções dos docentes são particulares e possuem relação com a linha de pesquisa na qual estão vinculados e não com o programa de Pós-Graduação. Desse modo, analisa-se que o cenário ainda é passível de melhorias, como o fomento a publicação de dissertações verdes , a integração de um currículo sustentável e melhorias na gestão sustentável.

An analysis of the e-research needs of postgraduate students at higher education institutions

Smith, Christina Catharina 16 January 2007 (has links)
This dissertation reports on an analysis conducted to establish the electronic research needs experienced by postgraduate students at higher education institutions within an increasing electronic research environment. Innovation and improvements in technology have caused research students to approach the library with a whole range of needs and expectations undreamed of in the nonelectronic library. A quantitative research instrument was mainly used to gather data, together with the results from a user survey. This study is therefore regarded as a quantitative study. From both the literature survey and research for this study it became clear that postgraduate students in South Africa and throughout the world experience similar e-research needs with regard to primary data sharing, transfer of data and computation, e-access, e-communication, e-training and e-publishing. By taking the specific needs of postgraduate students into account, the library will be able to create an electronic research environment distinguished by ease of use and access - the principal and most valued research partner in a postgraduate students’ pursuit of academic distinction and success. / Dissertation (M.Ed (Computer-integrated Education))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted

A framework for course design in academic writing for tertiary education

Butler, Herman Gustav 11 September 2007 (has links)
Academic writing is generally regarded as the most important communication medium through which people in the tertiary academic context choose to communicate their ideas. It is also well known that it is sometimes an arduous process for students to become accustomed to the requirements (the conventions and conditions) that hold for the production of appropriate written texts in this context. The initial impetus for the current study was provided by what appeared to be a significant problem that some supervisors at the University of Pretoria identified in terms of the academic writing ability of their postgraduate students. This study therefore investigates postgraduate academic writing with regard to a number of such issues, and does so within the broader confines of academic literacy. The ultimate purpose of this investigation is to discover how writing interventions may be designed that offer appropriate assistance to students who experience difficulty with their writing. The study commences with an attempt to find support for treating 'academic discourse' as a potentially productive area of academic enquiry. It therefore presents an account on the nature of a 'discourse community', and attempts to ascertain whether there are any grounds on which 'academic discourse' may be regarded as a unique type of discourse used for specific communicative functions in the tertiary academic environment. It further discusses critically some of the traditional features of academic texts. The research then proposes thirteen design principles that serve as injunctions that should be considered in the development of writing courses, and proceeds to a critical discussion of the most important approaches in the teaching and learning of writing. What is evident from this discussion is that none of the historical approaches will, on their own, enable one to design justifiable writing courses. As a result, an eclectic approach is required in order to integrate the strengths of these approaches into a strategy for writing course design that is theoretically and practically justifiable. Subsequently, the critical interpretation of the literature in the first part of the study is used in the design of a framework for writing course design in tertiary education. This framework consists of six focuses that stand in a relationship of dynamic interaction towards a description of the context in which tertiary students write. Thus, relevant aspects concerning the writer, text, reader, institutional context and one's approach to writing are all essential elements that should be carefully considered in terms of their potential influence on the eventual design of materials that will constitute a writing course. The rest of the study consists of an application of the proposed framework that addresses firstly, the perceptions of supervisors at the University about the academic literacy ability of their postgraduate students, as well as their requirements for academic writing. It then proceeds to an investigation of a specific group of students' (from the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences) perceptions about their own academic literacy ability and a determination of their perceptions and expectations of academic writing at university. Because the information that was collected (by means of questionnaires) in both cases mentioned above is mainly perceptual in nature, it was considered essential to determine the academic literacy ability of students in the study group by means of a reliable testing instrument. A written text that these same students produced was further analysed in order to establish possible writing difficulties they experienced. In addition, it was important to confirm certain findings from the supervisor questionnaire, and more specific information had to be collected on particular writing issues that could inform discipline specific writing course design (this was accomplished through focus group interviews with supervisors of the School of Agricultural and Food Sciences). A combination of all the prominent findings of the empirical work mentioned above, as well as insights gained in the literature survey, is then used to make justifiable suggestions for the design of writing course materials for students in the study group. Finally, a number of issues were identified that could not be addressed by this study and, therefore, suggestions are made for future research that may investigate these matters. / Thesis (DPhil ( Linguistics))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Unit for Academic Literacy / DPhil / Unrestricted

The management of equity in medical schools in South Africa

Naidoo, Kethamonie 01 1900 (has links)
This study explores the management of equity in medical schools in South Africa using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Notions and models of equity are discussed and student and staff profiles in medical schools are contrasted with national and international profiles. in-depth unstructured interviews are conducted with select senior and executive management members at national, institutional and faculty of medicine levels to identify the challenges and best practices associatd with promoting equity in medical schools in five broad areas, namely, staff, students, curriculum, research, and policies and practices. The study shows significant contextual differences between medical schools and their universities resulting in divergent trends in the student and staff profiles. Historically Black medical schools continue to provide access to aproximately 68% of African MBChB students. Postgraduate students remain predominantly White men and although more female than male students are enrolled for MBChB, the few females entering postgraduate training are segregated in particular areas of specialisation. Redressing the historically determined prevailing inequities in medical schools, in terms of race, gender and class, is inextricably linked to different management ideologies, management policies and practices, economic factors and discipline specific power dynamics. To manage equity inmmedical schools more efficiently, it is recommended that a single, separate budget be allocated to medical schools for staff appointments and student training. The management of academic health complexes should be under the jurisdiction of a national, joint Department of Education/Department of Health structure. Such a structure should, at a national level clarify, co-ordinate and monitor equity in medical schools and ensure that policies and practices in medical faculties are aligned to national strategic transformation frameworks and equity goals of higher education and health. Monitoring could include analyses of student applications, admissions, failure, drop-out and graduation rates of students. The establishment of a comprehensive database of South African medical doctors by race, gender, area of specialisation and location of practice is needed to track trends and shifts. / Educational Studies / D.

Perceptons of staff and students concerning support offered to students the MA (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS) at the University of South Africa

Matee, Marie 06 1900 (has links)
The MA Social Behaviour Studies in HIV and AIDS as a postgraduate degree requires students to work and conduct research independently. The purpose of the study was to gauge the perceptions, attitudes and experiences of second year students and key personnel concerning student support. A mixed methods research design was used. It was found that students and staff regarded support in a positive light, although concerns about insufficient resources were expressed. Students expressed needs for specific academic and research support. Staff tended to romanticise the reasons for students enrolling for the degree. Possible conflicting expectations of the degree and the amount and type of support offered were found between the staff and the students and also among various staff members. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV-AIDS)
