Download or read book La motivation dans la cr ation scientifique written by Rolland Viau and published by Puq. This book was released on 2007 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'admiration que la population éprouve à l'endroit des grands chercheurs comme Newton, Darwin, Freud et Marie Curie résulte de la croyance que leurs découvertes sont dues à leur intelligence exceptionnelle. Or l'intelligence des grands chercheurs n'explique pas tout : sans une motivation extraordinaire, ils n'auraient pas créé les grandes œuvres scientifiques qu'on leur reconnaît. Mais comment expliquer cette motivation hors du commun qui anime les grands chercheurs dans leur démarche de recherche ? Voilà la question à laquelle cet ouvrage tente de répondre. Dans les premiers chapitres, sont examinés les travaux qui ont tenté d'expliquer la motivation des grands chercheurs et est proposé un modèle mettant en interaction des composantes intrinsèques et contextuelles. Pour valider ce modèle, nous présentons, dans le dernier chapitre, deux études de cas, Charles Darwin et Marie Curie, afin de mieux comprendre la dynamique motivationnelle qui les a animés lors de la création de leurs grandes œuvres scientifiques. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux chercheurs de toutes disciplines qui désirent en savoir davantage sur la psychologie de ceux qui font l'histoire des sciences. Il intéressera également les personnes qui se questionnent sur l'éducation aux sciences et sur la formation à la recherche qui est offerte dans les établissements d'enseignement supérieur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La désaffection des études scientifiques est un phénomène préoccupant dans la mesure où sa persistance compromet à terme le développement économique du pays. Aussi, mieux comprendre la situation devient un enjeu important pour notre société : pourquoi les élèves n'ont-ils plus envie d'apprendre les sciences ? Est-ce le résultat d'un parti pris idéologique, ou sont-ils déçus par leur enseignement ? Quels sont les processus et les phénomènes qui contribuent à les éloigner des études scientifiques ? Y a-t-il des moyens de les remobiliser sur ce secteur ? Le but de l'ouvrage est de présenter les travaux de recherche qui ont été menés sur ces questions depuis une vingtaine d'années, en décrivant et en analysant leurs fondements théoriques, les méthodologies utilisées ainsi que les résultats qu'ils ont permis d'obtenir.

Download or read book The Natural Laws of Children written by Céline Alvarez and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful, neuroscience-based approach to revolutionize early childhood learning through natural creativity, strong human connections, spontaneous free play, and more. All children are born wired to learn and to love. As young children explore the world and interact with others, their brains can naturally develop in incredible ways. And yet, despite our best intentions, early education often fails to fully encourage this natural learning and empathy. The Natural Laws of Children draws on current research in childhood development to share powerful insights on how to enhance learning for all kids, regardless of income or access to resources. This book tells the story of Céline Alvarez’s pioneering work in early childhood education. Over three years in a low-income school, Alvarez’s students achieved exceptional results in math and reading, as well as outstanding social and emotional skills. The Natural Laws of Children shares, in a clear and accessible way, the main scientific principles that underpin human learning to revolutionize early childhood education by supporting strong human connections, spontaneous free play, and more.
Download or read book Transforming Assessment written by Jens Dolin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports the results of a research project that investigated assessment methods aimed at supporting and improving inquiry-based approaches in European science, technology and mathematics (STM) education. The findings were used to influence policy makers with guidelines for ensuring that assessment enhances learning. The book provides insights about: - The concept of competence within the STM domains and its relevance for education - The conceptualisation and teaching of four key competences: scientific inquiry, mathematical problem-solving, design processes, and innovation. - Fundamental aspects of the two main purposes of assessment, formative and summative, the relations between the two purposes and ways of linking them. - The main challenges related to the uptake of formative assessment in daily teaching-learning practices in STM and specifically, the usability of formative on-the-fly dialogue, structured assessment dialogue, peer assessment and written teacher feedback. - The systemic support measures and tools teachers need in order to integrate formative assessment of student learning into their classroom practices and how it can conflict with summative assessment practices. - How research-based strategies for the formative use of assessment can be adapted to various European educational traditions to ensure their effective use and avoid undesirable consequences. - How relevant stakeholders can be invited to take co-ownership of research results and how a productive partnership between researchers, policy makers, and teachers can be established. - Concrete research vistas that are still needed in international assessment research.

Download or read book Creative Canada written by and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1972-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did he ever play Hamlet? Has she worked in television? What was the title of his first novel? Under whom did she study? How many children has he? Answers to such questions about contemporary Canadian artists have often been difficult, even impossible, to find. This series has been created to provide the answers; it covers creative and performing artists who have contributed as individuals to the culture of Canada in the twentieth century. Each volume in the series presents a cross-section of many different kinds of artists: authors of imaginative works, artists and sculptors, musicians (performers, composers, conductors, and directors), and performing artists in ballet, modern dance, radio, theatre, television, and motion pictures; directors, designers, and producers in theatre, cinema, radio, television, and the dance; choreographers and, for cinema, cartoonists and animators. Within each category of art is included a selection of those who have achieved national and international recognition; those who have been recognized locally, and some, now deceased, who markedly influenced their contemporaries locally, nationally, or internationally. This is not a critical compilation; rather it is an objective and factual reference work for those interested in contemporary Canadian culture. Information was collected by painstaking research in a wide variety of sources, and wherever possible it has been verified by the artist to make each entry as accurate and comprehensive as possible.

Download or read book Video Research in the Learning Sciences written by Ricki Goldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video Research in the Learning Sciences is a comprehensive exploration of key theoretical, methodological, and technological advances concerning uses of digital video-as-data in the learning sciences as a way of knowing about learning, teaching, and educational processes. The aim of the contributors, a community of scholars using video in their own work, is to help usher in video scholarship and supportive technologies, and to mentor video scholars, so that video research will meet its maximum potential to contribute to the growing knowledge base about teaching and learning. This volume contributes deeply to both to the science of learning through in-depth video studies of human interaction in learning environments—whether classrooms or other contexts—and to the uses of video for creating descriptive, explanatory, or expository accounts of learning and teaching. It is designed around four themes—each with a cornerstone chapter that introduces and synthesizes the cluster of chapters related to it: Theoretical frameworks for video research; Video research on peer, family, and informal learning; Video research on classroom and teacher learning; and Video collaboratories and technological futures. Video Research in the Learning Sciences is intended for researchers, university faculty, teacher educators, and graduate students in education, and for anyone interested in how knowledge is expanded using video-based technologies for inquiries about learning and teaching.

Download or read book The Fabrication of the Autonomous Learner written by Judith Hangartner and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough and detailed analysis of how the figure of the ‘autonomous learner’ shapes educational practices. It unpacks the impact of current educational reform discourse that focuses on the individual pupil as a learner, while neglecting the social dimensions of classroom practices. In view of the yet unknown requirements of the knowledge economy, students are demanded to take more responsibility for their learning and to become self-reliant, independent, lifelong learners. In turn, teachers are asked to tailor education to the individual needs of their students and to foster their individual learning trajectories. Based on in-depth fieldwork and long-term observation of interactions in classrooms and other scholastic settings, scholars from three European countries – France, Germany and Switzerland – show how the translation of the figure of the ‘autonomous learner’ into classrooms is shaped by distinct cultural traditions. Chapters analyse teaching routines and conceptions of self-reliance involved in autonomy-oriented settings and discuss how these change the sociality of the classroom. They scrutinize how autonomy is used to differentiate between students and how it contributes to the reproduction of social inequality. The book brings into dialogue two neighbouring research traditions that research autonomous learning from a sociological perspective and which have largely ignored each other until now. In so doing, the contributions engage a critical perspective for a careful empirical analysis in order to better understand what is being done in the name of autonomy. Providing insight into the many facets of developing and nurturing self-standing pupils across various educational contexts, this is ideal reading for scholars in the field of education, as well as teachers and decision-makers across the educational sector.

Download or read book Interpersonal Relationships in Education written by Theo Wubbels and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-23 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together recent research on interpersonal relationships in education. Clearly, positive teacher-student relationships strongly contribute to student learning. Problematic relationships on the other hand can be detrimental to student outcomes and development. Productive learning environments are characterized by supportive and warm interactions throughout the class: teacher-student and student-student. Similarly, teacher learning thrives when principals facilitate accommodating and safe school cultures.The contributions to this book are based on presentations at the first International Conference on Interpersonal Relationships in Education: ICIRE 2010 held in Boulder, Colorado, the United States and include among others keynote addresses by Kathryn Wentzel, Walter Doyle and Theo Wubbels. The chapters help explain how constructive learning environment relationships can be developed and sustained. Contributions come from among others educational and social psychology, teacher and school effectiveness research, and communication and language studies, among other fields. They cover relationships of teachers with individual students and among peers, and relationships between teachers and teachers and principals.
