Book excerpt: Cette thèse a pour objectif de contribuer aux connaissances sur les compétences de conduite de haut niveau acquises lors des premiers mois de la conduite en autonomie, et sur l'utilisation des outils de simulation pour l'évaluation et l'acquisition de ces dernières par les conducteurs novices. L'accès à la conduite automobile autonome est une étape importante pour l'émancipation et l'indépendance de l'adolescent et du jeune adulte. Dans les pays développés, les jeunes conducteurs sont cependant 3 à 4 fois plus susceptibles d'avoir un accident mortel que les conducteurs plus âgés (McCartt, Shabanova, & Leaf, 2003). Ce sur-risque décroit fortement durant les 6 à 8 premiers mois ou les 1500 premiers kilomètres de conduite en autonomie, et ce de manière indépendante de l'age du conducteur (Gregersen et al., 2000; McCartt et al., 2003). Durant ces premiers temps, les novices développeraient ainsi des habiletés fondamentales pour conduire efficacement et en sécurité. Ces habiletés concerneraient en particulier les compétences de conduite de haut niveau (Hatakka et al., 2002). Ces dernières incluent des mécanismes perceptifs et cognitifs d'évaluation (perception, compréhension et projection) et de prise de décision pour gérer les situations routières normales ou à risque (Deery, 1999). Or, ces compétences sont les plus impliquées dans le sur-risque des novices (Braitman et al., 2008). De plus, elles sont aussi peu abordées dans la formation (Assailly, 2013, 2016). Dans ce cadre, trois études ont été menées. Des entretiens semi-dirigé avec des conducteurs novices (étude 1) montrent que les compétences perceptives et cognitives font l'objet d'un apprentissage "sur le tas" durant les premiers temps de la conduite autonome. Notamment, ces apprentissages sont issus de l'expérience de situations de conduite dynamiques, complexes et inattendues. Un paradigme utilisant un simulateur pleine-échelle et l'oculométrie (étude 2) utilise ces situations pour identifier des indicateurs d¿acquisition des compétences perceptives et cognitives. Il montre en premier lieu l'importance de la contextualisation de l'évaluation. En effet, chaque situation sollicite de façon différente les compétences, qui doivent donc y être mesurées de façon appropriée. Il identifie également des indicateurs novateurs, permettant d'évaluer finement les compétences de prise de décision des conducteurs. Un dernier paradigme en simulateur moyenne-fidélité effectue une comparaison de protocoles d'apprentissage de ces compétences (étude 3). Il montre qu'un approche utilisant des rétroactions immédiates et simples, sous la forme de messages textuels explicatifs, est efficace pour l'amélioration des compétences perceptives et cognitives, au moins à court terme. Du point de vue pratique, ces résultats permettent de proposer des recommandations pour le développement de programmes d'entrainement aux compétences perceptives et cognitives en simulateur de conduite. Du point de vue théorique, ils permettent d'une part d'approfondir les connaissances concernant les mécanismes d'apprentissage des compétences perceptives et cognitives. D'autre part, ils proposent une actualisation des modèles théoriques décrivant ces compétences.

Download or read book Philosophy in a Time of Terror written by Giovanna Borradori and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.

Download or read book Globalization and Its Enemies written by Daniel Cohen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-09-07 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative argument that the frustrations of globalization stem from the gap between the expectations created and the lagging economic reality in poor countries. The enemies of globalization—whether they denounce the exploitation of poor countries by rich ones or the imposition of Western values on traditional cultures—see the new world economy as forcing a system on people who do not want it. But the truth of the matter, writes Daniel Cohen in this provocative account, may be the reverse. Globalization, thanks to the speed of twenty-first-century communications, shows people a world of material prosperity that they do want—a vivid world of promises that have yet to be fulfilled. For the most impoverished developing nations, globalization remains only an elusive image, a fleeting mirage. Never before, Cohen says, have the means of communication—the media—created such a global consciousness, and never have economic forces lagged so far behind expectations. Today's globalization, Cohen argues, is the third act in a history that began with the Spanish Conquistadors in the sixteenth century and continued with Great Britain's nineteenth-century empire of free trade. In the nineteenth century, as in the twenty-first, a revolution in transportation and communication did not promote widespread wealth but favored polarization. India, a part of the British empire, was just as poor in 1913 as it was in 1820. Will today's information economy do better in disseminating wealth than the telegraph did two centuries ago? Presumably yes, if one gauges the outcome from China's perspective; surely not, if Africa's experience is a guide. At any rate, poor countries require much effort and investment to become players in the global game. The view that technologies and world trade bring wealth by themselves is no more true today than it was two centuries ago. We should not, Cohen writes, consider globalization as an accomplished fact. It is because of what has yet to happen—the unfulfilled promises of prosperity—that globalization has so many enemies in the contemporary world. For the poorest countries of the world, the problem is not so much that they are exploited by globalization as that they are forgotten and excluded.

Download or read book Didactics of Smart Pedagogy written by Linda Daniela and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus on smart education has become a new trend in the global educational field. Some countries have already developed smart education systems and there is increasing pressure coming from business and tech communities to continue this development. Simultaneously, there are only fragmented studies on the didactic aspects of technology usage. Thus, pedagogy as a science must engage in a new research direction—smart pedagogy. This book seeks to engage in a new research direction, that of smart pedagogy. It launches discussions on how to use all sorts of smart education solutions in the context of existing learning theories and on how to apply innovative solutions in order to reduce the marginalization of groups in educational contexts. It also explores transformations of pedagogical science, the role of the educator, applicable teaching methods, learning outcomes, and research and assessment of acquired knowledge in an effort to make the smart education process meaningful to a wide audience of international educators, researchers, and administrators working within and tangential to TEL.

This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The linguistic integration of migrants affects every aspect of settling in a new country (employment, health, etc.). The aim of this collection of texts is to propose a number of specific measures member states can take to help adult migrants become acquainted with the language of the host country. The main focus is on organising language courses that meet migrants’ real communication needs. It is not enough for authorities simply to consider the technical aspects of such courses, they should also design and conduct them in accordance with the fundamental values of the Council of Europe. A number of issues concerning the linguistic integration of adult migrants are presented here, beginning with the notion of linguistic integration itself. Family reunion, the nature of citizenship and the function of language tests, among others, are dealt with from the point of view of language and language use. Readers are invited to reflect on the type of language competences that need to be acquired as well as an appropriate use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The collection also sets out approaches and instruments designed to assist in implementing effective policies.

Download or read book T Minus AI written by Michael Kanaan and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late in 2017, the global significance of the conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) changed forever. China put the world on alert when it released a plan to dominate all aspects of AI across the planet. Only weeks later, Vladimir Putin raised a Russian red flag in response by declaring AI the future for all humankind, and proclaiming that, "Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world." The race was on. Consistent with their unique national agendas, countries throughout the world began plotting their paths and hurrying their pace. Now, not long after, the race has become a sprint. Despite everything at stake, to most of us AI remains shrouded by a cloud of mystery and misunderstanding. Hidden behind complicated and technical jargon and confused by fantastical depictions of science fiction, the modern realities of AI and its profound implications are hard to decipher, but crucial to recognize. In T-Minus AI: Humanity's Countdown to Artificial Intelligence and the New Pursuit of Global Power, author Michael Kanaan explains AI from a human-oriented perspective we can all finally understand. A recognized national expert and the U.S. Air Force's first Chairperson for Artificial Intelligence, Kanaan weaves a compelling new view on our history of innovation and technology to masterfully explain what each of us should know about modern computing, AI, and machine learning. Kanaan also dives into the global implications of AI by illuminating the cultural and national vulnerabilities already exposed and the pressing issues now squarely on the table. AI has already become China's all-purpose tool to impose its authoritarian influence around the world. Russia, playing catch up, is weaponizing AI through its military systems and now infamous, aggressive efforts to disrupt democracy by whatever disinformation means possible. America and like-minded nations are awakening to these new realities—and the paths they're electing to follow echo loudly the political foundations and, in most cases, the moral imperatives upon which they were formed. As we march toward a future far different than ever imagined, T-Minus AI is fascinating and crucially well-timed. It leaves the fiction behind, paints the alarming implications of AI for what they actually are, and calls for unified action to protect fundamental human rights and dignities for all.
Download or read book Orchestration Graphs written by Pierre Dillenbourg and published by Epfl Press. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By modeling pedagogical scenarios as directed geometrical graphs and proposing an associated modeling language, this book describes how rich learning activities, often designed for small classes, can be scaled up for use with thousands of participants. With the vertices of these graphs representing learning activities and the edges capturing the pedagogical relationship between activities, individual, team, and class-wide activities are integrated into a consistent whole. The workflow mechanisms modeled in the graphs enable the construction of scenarios that are richer than those currently implemented in MOOCs. The cognitive states of learners in two consecutive activities feed a transition matrix, which encapsulates the probability of succeeding in the second activity, based on success in the former. This transition matrix is summarized by a numerical value, which is used as the weight of the edge. This pedagogical framework is connected to stochastic models, with the goal of making learning analytics more appealing for data scientists. However, the proposed modeling language is not only useful in learning technologies, it also allows researchers in learning sciences to formally describe the structure of any lesson, from an elementary school lesson with 20 students to an online course with 20,000 participants.
