L’amélioration de qualité de la formation universitaire dans tous les domaines et dans le domaine de la didactique des langues étrangères en particulier est une des directions prioritaires du développement des systèmes éducatifs nationaux. Les chercheurs autour du monde supposent que l’éducation moderne doit être basée sur l’approche par compétences, qui s’est formée sur la base des approches précédentes. En même temps la pratique d’enseignement moderne ne tient presque aucun compte de l’expérience unique des éducateurs de XXème siècle qui tachaient de trouver des solutions pour les même problèmes de l’éducation qui nous font face aujourd’hui, surtout en didactique des langues étrangères. Cette expérience demande un nouveau traitement dans le contexte de l’approche par compétences et celui de la formation linguistique. Parmi les éducateurs dont les conceptions pédagogiques sont proches des conceptions modernes des objectifs de l’éducation on peut nommer C. Freinet et V. A. Sukhomlinski. Dans le contexte de l’approche par compétence c’est possible d’actualiser l’expérience de ces didacticiens, qui ont créé les conceptions pédagogiques stimulant le développement des compétences, quoique ces éducateurs n’utilisassent pas le terme «compétence». L’actualité de cette problématique pour le système éducatif de Russie a conditionné notre inteprétation d’objectif de cette recherche qui consistait en définition de l’influence des conceptions pédagogiques de V. A. Sukhomlinski et C. Freinet sur le développement de la formation universitaire orientée par l’approche par compétences en prenant comme exemple la formation des compétences culturelles dans le processus de l’éducation à l’université ou à la faculté des langues étrangères en Russie. Dans le cadre de cette étude nous avons appliqué la méthodologie de l’expérience pédagogique pour argumenter l’efficacité de la méthode basée sur les conceptions pédagogiques de C. Freinet et V. A. Sukhomlinski en formation des compétences culturelles au niveau universitaire. Cette étude s’appuie sur un ensemble de théories et de recherches en sciences de l’éducation et en pédagogie. Les résultats reçus peuvent être appliqués dans la rédaction de programmes et de plans de la formation universitaire en Russie. / Enhancement of the quality of the university education in all majors and especially in language education is a priority direction of the development of national education systems. The researchers around the globe believe that the competence-based approach is a basis for education in today’s world. This approach has formed on the basis of the other approaches of the past. Meanwhile the modern educational practice practically ignores the unique experience of the XXth century educators who aspired to resolve the same educational issues that we face nowadays, especially in the sphere of language teaching. This experience demands to be treated in the context of the competence-based approach and the theory of foreign language teaching. Among the educators whose pedagogical conceptions closely resemble the modern conceptions of educational objectives we can point out C. Freinet and V. A. Sukhomlinski. It is possible to actualize the experience of these educators in the context of the competency-based approach, as they developed pedagogical conceptions stimulating the formation of the competences, though none of them ever used the term «competence». The topicality of this issue for the Russian educational system has conditioned our view of the research aim that consisted in determination of the influence of the pedagogical conceptions of C. Freinet et V. A. Sukhomlinski on the development of the competence-oriented university education providing an example of the formation of cultural competences in the educational process realised in a Russian foreign languages university or department. In this regard we treat the pedagogical conceptions of C. In the framework of our research project we used the methodology of pedagogical experiment to prove the efficiency of the method based on the pedagogical conceptions of C. Freinet and V. A. Sukhomlinski for the formation of cultural competencies at the university level. Our study is based on the number of theories and studies in educational sciences and pedagogics. The results obtained could be applied in study programme and plan design in Russian system of university education.

The dissertation called Legal education and attempts to reform it in the Czech lands from 1918 until today deals with theoretical and historical views of the legal education system at Czech Legal faculties during the last century. The course of the reforms that have shaped the current state of the Legal faculty is shown in the light of historical development. The subject matter of Legal education is treated from the point of view of the modern approach to the theories of Legal studies. The present trends and new requirements developed after 1989 are taken into account. The conclusion takes into consideration the comparative views of Legal education and brings a complex analysis of the given problem.

This dissertation thesis Shaping of Legal Consciousness of non-law University Students aims to explore the process of forming legal literacy and consciousness of non-lawyers mainly via education. Premise or audited issue is that didactics and methodology of law and hence connected cultivation of legal consciousness of individuals are not very effective. Thereof the starting point is the anticipated inefficiency of teaching law for non-lawyers. The thesis firstly looks for the purpose of university education today as well as the position of its students. Further the concept of legal consciousness is presented. The last two chapters confirm some hypothesis using results of researches made for this thesis. The first research focuses on university teachers of law to non- lawyers, the second one deals with universities' students and graduates.

The hypothesis is that the Electrical Engineering course of UFG has three logical-historical moments: one that came up with the ideas of its creation (1948-1960), one of its foundation (1964-1985) and one that searched for the course s identity, its consolidation (1986-2012). This periodicity happens because of the historical, institutional and cognitive scenery. The transition from one logicalhistorical moment to another occurs because of the ruptures and continuities between the periods. In this way, based on a historical-sociological perspective, this work aims to search the logical-historical moments of the course, trying to uncover and interpret its current configuration. The inquiry way contemplates a bibliographical research, a documentary research and a field research. The bibliographical research happened during all the work and made it possible to verify the growing interest on engineering education . In the last eleven years there were done 53 thesis by engineers in postgraduate programs in education. The documentary research sought documents about the foundation meeting, of the council meetings, speeches, legislation, official gazette of the union, newspapers, curriculums, teachers dossiers, pictures and personal documents of the founders of the course. The field research used the oral history as methodology, to pick up the testimonial of the historical agents by opened interviews with the aim to solve disagreements and doubts about fates that occured all long the history of the course. The option for qualitative approach is justified because of its positive characteristics for the purposes of the study, such as the identification of important witnesses to determinant facts in the historical context of the electrical engineering course of UFG. The theoretical frameworks of this research are categories inherited from Bourdieu s sociological thought. Sociology is sought because the Electrical Engineering School is a social, scientific and educational institution, whose identity is based on principals, values, rules and organization forms that are given to it by agents that together wrote its history. The concepts of field, habitus and symbolical systems of Pierre Bourdieu substantiate the understanding of the Electrical Engineering School as a place of permanent fights and strategies of maintenance or subversion motivated by conscious or inconscious interest in obtaining vantages by owning the symbolical systems. / Esta pesquisa analisa o processo de constituição e consolidação do curso de Engenharia Elétrica da Universidade Federal de Goiás (UFG), bem como identifica nesse processo os agentes históricos, as leis e as ideias que orientavam as normas de organização do curso. Parte-se da hipótese que o curso de Engenharia Elétrica da UFG possui três momentos lógico-históricos: o das ideias de sua origem (1948-1960), o da fundação (1964-1985) e o da busca pela identidade do curso, ou seja, da consolidação (1986-2012). Esta periodicidade acontece em função do cenário histórico, institucional e cognitivo. A transição de cada momento lógico-histórico para o outro se dá em função das rupturas e permanências entre os períodos. Portanto, com base em uma perspectiva histórico-sociológica, objetiva-se perquirir os momentos lógico-históricos que constituíram o curso, buscando desvendar e interpretar a sua configuração atual. O modo de investigação contempla uma pesquisa bibliográfica, uma pesquisa documental e uma pesquisa de campo. O levantamento bibliográfico acompanhou todo o processo de pesquisa e possibilitou verificar o crescente interesse pelo tema ensino de engenharia . Nos últimos 11 anos foram defendidas 53 teses por engenheiros em programas de pós-graduação em educação. Na pesquisa documental para fundamentar esta tese, buscou-se a Ata da Assembleia de Fundação, as atas das reuniões de conselho, discursos, legislações, diário oficial da união, jornais, currículos, plataforma Lattes, dossiês dos professores, fotos e documentos pessoais dos fundadores do curso. Com relação à pesquisa de campo utilizou-se como metodologia a história oral para colher o depoimento dos agentes históricos, através de entrevistas abertas, com o objetivo de solucionar desacordos e dúvidas sobre fatos ocorridos ao longo da história do curso. A opção pela abordagem qualitativa deve-se às suas características favoráveis aos propósitos do estudo, como a identificação de testemunhas-chave para fatos determinantes no contexto histórico do curso de Engenharia Elétrica da UFG. Esta pesquisa tem como referencial teórico categorias herdadas do pensamento sociológico bourdieusiano. Os conceitos de campo, habitus, e sistemas simbólicos em Pierre Bourdieu fundamentam a compreensão da Escola de Engenharia Elétrica como um espaço de lutas permanentes e de estratégias de manutenção ou de subversão motivadas pelo interesse consciente ou inconsciente de obter os proveitos decorrentes da posse dos sistemas simbólicos.

Innovations and changes in higher education paradigm are related to the idea of lifelong learning and application of information communication technologies in learning process. Information literacy is a phenomenon conditioned by modern life realia, related to the newest technologies and abundance of information. It appears to be one of the means of modernization of university education. The issue of information literacy at the university level in Lithuania has not been researched in more depth so far. Integration of information literacy into the curriculum of higher education is a key question closely related to the shift in the idea of the university mission and to the transformations of being and functioning in the knowledge-based society. The dissertation addresses the issue of information literacy integration into the curriculum of higher education. The integration of information literacy into university curriculum creates preconditions for quality improvement in teaching and learning processes. The research reveals the topicality of standardization of information literacy at university education as the way to modernize it. The dissertation presents a phenomenographic research into students’ information literacy conception. The expert study results reveal university teachers and librarians’ attitude towards information literacy and its need at university. The comparative analysis based on the mode of study and gender reflects differences in students’ information literacy...

Cette étude est consacrée à l’université publique marocaine. Elle se situe dans le champ de l’enseignement supérieur public. Les chercheurs du secteur universitaire au Maroc qualifient la gestion de l’enseignement supérieur de centralisée, bureaucratisée, rigide et incapable de trouver des réponses efficaces à la société. L’université publique marocaine vit une crise : elle a fait l’objet de nombreux critiques sur la nature des services universitaires. Sur le plan académique, elle est inappropriée pour faire face à la demande sociale en matière de l’enseignement universitaire. Sur le plan interne, elle est inadaptée à cause de dysfonctionnement pédagogie, organisationnel et administratif. L’université publique n’a pas été apte à s’adapter au secteur privé en créant des débouchés viables pour ses diplômés. Devant la gravité de la situation de l’enseignement supérieur public marocain, une Commission Royale Spéciale a été créée, dont le mandat était de trouver une meilleure façon de rationaliser le système universitaire. C’est ainsi qu’en 1999, la Commission a établi une Charte nationale de l’éducation et de la formation. Les premiers éléments de la nouvelle réforme ont été mis en application dès la rentrée universitaire 2003-2004. Cette nouvelle réforme est perçue comme un moyen d’améliorer le fonctionnement des établissements universitaires publics. Son objectif principal est de réformer d’une manière globale le système universitaire public. Dans les recherches qui se sont intéressées à la réforme de l’université publique marocaine, nous avons constaté qu’il y a une absence de documentation en ce qui trait aux réactions des acteurs universitaires et professionnels face aux orientations de cette réforme. Dans le but d’apporter des éclaircissements, nous nous sommes fixé un double objectif : déterminer, à partir de la perception d’acteurs universitaires, les effets des orientations de la nouvelle réforme et de ses modalités; connaître les changements organisationnels et leurs exigences. La stratégie de recherche répondant le mieux à notre double objectif était la recherche exploratoire. La démarche que nous avons privilégiée fut celle d’une première étude avant l’implantation de la nouvelle réforme et d’une autre après trois semestres de son implantation. Les questions qui ont soutenu notre recherche sont les suivantes : les attitudes des acteurs universitaires ont-elles été modifiées par l’introduction de la nouvelle réforme? Si oui, dans quel sens ont-elles été modifiées? Est-ce que la nouvelle réforme a modifié les pratiques pédagogiques et financières dans le sens indiqué par la charte? Quelles formes de contribution des acteurs universitaires peuvent-ils apporter à une implantation efficace de la nouvelle réforme? Parmi les quatorze universités publiques que compte le Maroc, nous avons choisi l’Université Mohammed V de Rabat-Salé. Cet établissement est l'une des universités les plus anciennes au Maroc. Elle est caractérisée par un nombre significatif de départements qui ont un potentiel de recherche et une réputation nationale. Aucune université ne dispose d’autant de facultés et de différentes disciplines : lettres, sciences, économie, droit, médecine et pharmacie, médecine dentaire, ingénierie, technologie et autres. La démarche méthodologique retenue est axée sur des entrevues auprès des acteurs universitaires et professionnels de trois facultés : 1) faculté des Lettres et Sciences humaines, 2) faculté des Sciences juridiques, économiques et sociales, 3) faculté des Sciences. Celles-ci sont considérées comme des facultés pilotes par rapport à la nouvelle réforme. Nous avons entrepris deux séries d’entrevues : la première en 2001 avant l’implantation de la nouvelle réforme de l’université et la deuxième en 2005 après son implantation. Nous avons mené au total quarante-cinq (45) entrevues qui se sont déroulées en deux périodes : la première a eu lieu entre décembre 2000 et janvier 2001 et la deuxième entre décembre 2004 et janvier 2005. Lors de la première série d’entrevues, notre protocole était composé de questions spécifiques portant sur les initiatives inhérentes à la mise en application d’un système modulaire, sur les procédures pour restructurer la formation universitaire publique, sur le développement de projets spéciaux et de matériel didactique en rapport avec le nouveau système pédagogique et sur les propositions et les procédures pour la participation de l’université au marché du travail. Nous avons aussi posé des questions concernant les aspects financiers. Enfin, pour mieux comprendre le contexte, des questions portaient sur les évaluations et les recommandations de la nouvelle réforme de l’université publique. Au cours de la deuxième période d’entrevues, nous avons recueilli des données sur le soutien du département au pilotage des objectifs de la nouvelle réforme universitaire, le soutien des instances professionnelles à l’avancement de la réforme, la coopération des enseignants au plan de l’avancement des pratiques pédagogiques et les conditions nécessaires à une implantation efficace. Les réponses obtenues auprès des acteurs universitaires et professionnels ont été soumises à une analyse de contenu. Nous avons opté pour le modèle politique comme cadre conceptuel de notre recherche. Ce modèle nous a aidés à montrer l’importance des acteurs universitaires et professionnels dans les démarches pour l’application de la nouvelle réforme. Il nous a aidés également à comprendre comment les caractéristiques de la communauté universitaire peuvent faciliter ou bloquer la réussite de la réforme en cours. Cette recherche montre dans quelle mesure les objectifs de la nouvelle réforme fixés par la Commission Royale Spéciale sont en voie de réalisation. En ce sens, notre recherche pourrait être utile au plan national marocain : elle pourrait aider les responsables politiques et les administrateurs universitaires à prendre des décisions appropriées au processus d’implantation de la nouvelle réforme universitaire. / This study is devoted to the Moroccan public university. It is located in the field of public higher education. Researchers from the university sector in Morocco describe higher education management as being centralized, bureaucratic, rigid and unable to find effective answers to societal concerns. The Moroccan public university is in a crisis: it has been subject to many criticisms about the nature of its services. On the academic front, it is inadequate to meet the social demand for university education. In terms of internal, it is inadapted because of the dysfunction pedagogical, organizational and administrative matters. The public university has not been able to adapt to the private sector by creating viable opportunities for its graduates. Given the gravity of the situation of public higher education in Morocco, a Special Royal Commission was established, whose mandate was to find a better way to streamline the university system. Thus in 1999 the Commission established a National Charter of Education and Training. The first elements of the new reforms have been implemented since the academic year 2003-2004. This new reform is seen as a way to improve the functioning of public universities. Its main objective is a comprehensive reform of the public university system. In the researches that have focused on the reform of the Moroccan public university, we found that there was a lack of documentation in relation to key academics and professionals reactions regarding the directions of this reform. In quest for more clarify, we have set to ourselves a double objective: to determine from the perception of academic actors the effects of the orientations of the new reform and its terms; to determine the needed organizational changes for the implementation of the new academic reform to be effective. The research strategy that best meet our dual objective was an exploratory research. The approach we have chosen was that of an initial study before the implementation of the new reform and another three semesters after of the implantation. The questions under laying our research evolve around the following aspects: were the attitudes of university actors modified by the introduction of the new reform? If yes, in what way have they changed? Has the new reform altered the educational and financial practices in the direction indicated by the charter? What forms of contribution could university actors make for an efficient implementation of the new reform? Among the fourteen public universities that account in Morocco, we chose the University Mohammed V of Rabat-Salé. This establishment is one of the oldest universities in Morocco. It is characterized by a significant number of departments that have a potential of research and a national reputation. No other university has as many faculties and disciplines: humanities, sciences, economics, law, medicine and pharmacy, dentistry, engineering, technology and more. The methodology used focused on interviews with academics and professionals in three faculties: 1) Faculty of Arts and Humanities, 2) Faculty of Law, Economic, and Social Sciences, 3) Faculty of Sciences. These Faculties are considered to be pivotal in relation to the new reform. We conducted two series of interviews: the first one in 2001 before the implementation of the new reform and the second one in 2005 after its implantation. We conducted a total of forty-five (45) interviews in two phases: The first one has been between December 2000 and January 2001 and the second one between December 2004 and January 2005. Our protocol interviews of the first period was composed of specific questions on the initiatives inherent in the implementation of a modular system, procedures to restructure the public university education, the development of special projects, tools, training materials related to the new educational system and proposals, procedures for the university to participate in the labour market. We also asked questions concerning the financial aspects. Finally, to better understand the context, questions were raised about the assessments and recommendations for further reform of the public university. In the second period of interviews, we collected data to support the department in piloting the objectives of the new university reform, the support of professional bodies to advance the reform, the cooperation of teachers in terms of advancement of teaching practices and requirements that promote effective implementation. The responses from academic and professional actors have been put to content analysis. We opted for the political model as a conceptual framework of our research. This model has helped us demonstrate the importance of academic and professional actors in the application process of the new reform. It has also helped us understand how the characteristics of the university community can facilitate or block the success of the ongoing reform. This research shows to which extent the objectives of the new reform fixed by the Special Royal Commission are being realized. In this sense, our research could be helpful at the national level in Morocco: it could help political leaders and university administrators make appropriate decisions to the process of implementation of the new academic reform.
