Book excerpt: Les recherches antérieures suggèrent que l'activité physique, y compris la participation au sport, est bénéfique pour la santé mentale et l'adaptation à l'école. À l'inverse, ces deux éléments importants de la promotion de la santé pourraient-ils aussi influencer la pratique d'activité physique? À notre connaissance, peu d'études se sont penchées sur cette relation spécifique. De plus, la psychologie développementale moderne conçoit les comportements humains et les changements développementaux comme un résultat de relations dynamiques et réciproques entre l'individu et ses multiples environnements, dont les contextes sportifs. L'objectif de cette thèse doctorale est donc d'évaluer la relation longitudinale et réciproque entre l'activité physique, y compris la participation sportive, et la détresse émotionnelle (Article 1) et l'engagement en classe (Article 2) chez des enfants d'âge scolaire. Les participants proviennent de l'Étude Longitudinale du Développement des Enfants du Québec, une cohorte de naissance prospective longitudinale. Les symptômes de détresse émotionnelle et les comportements d'engagement en classe de 6 à 10 ans ont été évalués par les enseignants. Des trajectoires ont été générées pour différencier des groupes d'enfants. L'activité physique et la participation au sport de la petite enfance jusqu'au début de l'adolescence ont été mesurées par les parents et les enfants eux-mêmes. Diverses analyses statistiques ont été utilisées pour examiner les relations réciproques entre les variables d'intérêt. Les analyses ont été effectuées séparément pour les garçons et les filles et ont contrôlé pour de multiples facteurs individuels et familiaux préexistants. Trois trajectoires de détresse émotionnelle de 6 à 10 ans ont été identifiées : « Faible », « Croissante » et « En déclin ». Pour l'engagement en classe au cours des mêmes années, deux trajectoires ont été identifiées : « Élevée » et « Modérée ». Premièrement, les garçons qui n'ont jamais participé à des sports à 5 ans étaient plus susceptibles d'être dans les trajectoires de détresse « Croissante » ou « En déclin » que les garçons qui ont participé à une activité sportive. De plus, les garçons qui étaient les plus actifs physiquement à 12 ans étaient ceux vivant moins de détresse (i.e. trajectoire « Faible »). Deuxièmement, pour les filles, le fait d'être dans la trajectoire d'engagement en classe « Élevée » a prédit des niveaux plus élevés d'activité physique de loisir à l'âge de 12 ans. Pour les garçons, une participation régulière au sport de 6 à 10 ans a prédit des niveaux d'engagement en classe plus élevés à 12 ans. Les résultats suggèrent donc des associations positives, réciproques et longitudinales entre l'activité physique et deux éléments importants de la promotion de la santé chez les jeunes, soit la santé mentale et l'adaptation à l'école. Ces associations diffèrent pour les garçons et les filles. Cette étude soutient la pertinence de renforcer les efforts actuels de santé publique pour promouvoir l'activité physique, l'ajustement émotionnel et l'engagement scolaire dès la petite enfance afin de favoriser une bonne santé mentale, un rendement scolaire optimal et un mode de vie plus actif à long terme. Les résultats soutiennent également la pertinence d'investir des ressources financières au niveau de l'intervention auprès des jeunes afin qu'ils puissent développer leur plein potentiel à la fois en classe et dans des contextes extrascolaires structurés afin de favoriser un développement optimal.
Download or read book Recension critique des crits sur les effets de la participation des activit s de loisir organis es sur l adaptation scolaire et psychosociale des enfants written by Catherine Rouleau-Girard and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet essai vise à identifier les effets de la participation à des activités de loisir organisées sur l'adaptation scolaire et psychosociale des enfants. Bien que cette pratique soit reconnue chez la clientèle adolescente, peu d'études se sont penchées sur les enfants de six à 11 ans. Cette recension des écrits a ainsi étudié 13 études primaires ciblant la participation des enfants du primaire à des loisirs organisés. L'analyse critique qui s'en est suivie a d'ailleurs permis d'émettre les conclusions suivantes : la participation à des loisirs organisés serait significativement associée à une diminution des problèmes de comportement extériorisés, à une augmentation de l'adaptation scolaire et à une augmentation de l'adaptation sociale. Bien qu'il reste à le définir, un lien serait également présent entre ce type d'activité et l'augmentation de l'estime de soi. Les résultats obtenus révèlent que cette pratique s'avère être une orientation à privilégier pour favoriser l'adaptation des enfants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un programme d'intervention preventive centre sur les habiletes sociales de l'enfant a ete evalue en comparaison a un programme centre sur les habiletes de gestion de comportement des enseignants quant a la promotion de l'adaptation psychosociale des enfants au niveau prescolaire. Au total 42 enfants ages entre 3 ans et 10 mois et 5 ans et 2 mois, repartis dans quatre centres educatifs, ont participe a l'etude. Les programmes etaient offerts a tous les enfants d'un meme centre. Les programmes d'intervention preventive ont ete administres en deux temps et dans un ordre aleatoire. Lors de la premiere administration, les centres ont ete assignes a l'une ou l'autre des trois conditions suivantes: (1) "Programme d'entrai nement aux habiletes des enseignants"; (2) "Programme d'entrai nement aux habiletes sociales de l'enfant" et (3) "liste d'attente" ou groupe controle. Lors de la deuxieme administration, les centres ont ete assignes a la condition qui correspond au programme d'intervention preventive auquel ils n'avaient pas encore participe. Sous la condition 1, le programme d'entrai nement aux habiletes des enseignants comportait un atelier de discussion sur le renforcement positif mene par un psychologue professionnel. A la condition 2, le programme d'entrai nement aux habiletes sociales de l'enfant comprenait une combinaison de methodes d'intervention, soit un enregistrement video, des discussions et des jeux de roles. Finalement, pour la condition 3 ou "liste d'attente", aucune intervention n'a eu lieu avant la fin de la cueillette de donnees, soit a la fin de l'annee. Des donnees observationnelles et sociometriques ont ete recueillies avant et apres chaque administration des programmes d'intervention preventive. Un an plus tard, les enfants identifies "a risque" (n = 11) ont ete suivis dans leur nouvel environnement scolaire et les enseignants ont complete un questionnaire mesurant le degre de competence sociale de chacun des enfants, ainsi qu'un nouveau groupe controle (n = 12). Considerant, a priori, que les enfants "a risque" sont ceux qui necessitent le plus une intervention, les analyses presentees visent a demontrer l'efficacite des programmes parmi ces enfants. Toutefois, afin d'eviter de les etiqueter en les retirant de leurs groupes pour recevoir l'intervention, les programmes ont ete offerts a tous les enfants d'un meme centre. Or, des analyses secondaires de comparaison en fonction de l'ensemble de la population sont egalement presentees. Dans l'ensemble, les resultats suggerent que le programme d'intervention preventive centre sur l'enfant permet une ameli ration, du moins a court terme, des interactions sociales chez les enfants "a risque" d'age prescolaire, mais pas sur tous les indices disponibles. Finalement, lors du suivi dans un nouvel environnement scolaire, les comportements des enfants "a risque" etaient percus, par les enseignants, comme etant mal adaptes comparativement a un nouveau groupe d'enfants de comparaison choisi de maniere aleatoire dans les nouvelles classes.
Download or read book Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.
Download or read book Facts Fiction and African Creative Imaginations written by Toyin Falola and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-11 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together insights from distinguished scholars from around the world to address the facts, fiction and creative imaginations in the pervasive portrayals of Africa, its people, societies and cultures in the literature and the media. The fictionalization of Africa and African issues in the media and the popular literature that blends facts and fiction has rendered perceptions of Africa, its cultures, societies, customs, and conflicts often superficial and deficient in the popular Western consciousness. The book brings eminent scholars from a variety of disciplines to sort out the persistent fictionalization of Africa, from facts pertaining to the genesis of powerful cultural, political or religious icons, the historical and cultural significance of "intriguing" customs (such as tribal marks), gender relations, causes of conflicts and African responses, and creative imaginations in contemporary African films, fiction and literature, among others.

Book excerpt: Space has been reintroduced as an analytical category to the humanities and social sciences in the early 1990s. African Studies is one of the fields of knowledge production where the so-called spatial turn has proved to be extremely fruitful. The continent provides ample evidence for complex processes of deterritorialisation (migration, globalisation, sub-nationalisms) and reterritorialisation (new regionalisms, processes of bordering, etc.). These dialectical processes are driven by a variety of actors: political elites, multinational companies, warlords, donor governments, local traders, international NGOs, etc. As a result substantial parts of Africa witness the emergence of new regimes of territoriality: re-ordered states, transnational and sub-national entities, new localities and transborder formations. This volume brings together contributions from anthropology, history, geography and political science.

Download or read book Traveling Spirits written by Gertrud Hüwelmeier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maintaining and forging religious networks across borders have long been part of migrants' activities. However, due to the wide availability of communication technologies and the reduced costs of transportation, transnational social practices, including religious activities, have witnessed an enormous intensification in the last few decades around the world. Traveling Spirits seeks to understand these processes by investigating how religion goes global. How do religious agents create and maintain transborder connections? In what way are religious practices being transformed, reinforced or newly invented when transported to different places around the world? How are power relations negotiated within transnational religious networks? How are processes of coming and going linked to religious practices and discourses? The book’s contributors provide rich ethnographic case studies on mobile evangelists, moving spirit mediums, and traveling believers. They analyze the relationship between global, regional, national, local and individual religious processes by centering on economic activities, media representations, or politics of emplacement. Grounded firmly in cross-cultural comparison, this book contributes significantly to the literature on globalization, migration and transnational religion.
Download or read book The Speed of Change written by Jan-Bart Gewald and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-07-31 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1900s the motor-vehicle (car, bus, lorry or motor-cycle) was introduced in sub-Saharan Africa. Initially the plaything and symbol of colonial domination, the motor-vehicle transformed the economic and social life of the continent. Indeed, the motor-vehicle is arguably the single most important factor for change in Africa in the twentieth century. A factor for change that thus far has been neglected in research and literature. Yet its impact extends across the totality of human existence; from ecological devastation to economic advancement, from cultural transformation to political change, through to a myriad of other themes. This edited volume of eleven contributions by historians, anthropologists and social and political scientists explores aspects of the social history and anthropology of the motor-vehicle in Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight percent of global Indian Diaspora is located in Africa. It is spread across all regions of Africa-anglophone, Francophone,Lusophone, Arab Africa and Oceania. People of Indian Origin (PIO) went from different parts of India-Gujarat, Southern India, Bihar, UP and Punjab. They migrated in different capacities-as free passengers, traders, indentured workers, construction workers, professionals and businessmen. But bulk of them were indentured and construction workers who went during colonial period.They palyed an important role and made significant contributions in all walks of life in their new home.They were important consideration during Indian freedom struggle, especially in Indian National Congress. M.K. Gandhi was turned into Mahatma and became apostle of non-violence and peace by his involvement with PIO in South Africa. In post-decolonization phase post-decolonization phase PIOs in Africa had mixed experinece of assimilation and integration. While in Mauritius they remainded all through in power, in countries like Uganda they suffered humiliating expulsion.They still have challenges of integration in most part of Africa. The book is an attempt to capture their history, struggle, contribution, challenges and their place in Indian Diaspora policy.
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to the African Novel written by F. Abiola Irele and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-23 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa's strong tradition of storytelling has long been an expression of an oral narrative culture. African writers such as Amos Tutuola, Naguib Mahfouz, Wole Soyinka and J. M. Coetzee have adapted these older forms to develop and enhance the genre of the novel, in a shift from the oral mode to print. Comprehensive in scope, these new essays cover the fiction in the European languages from North Africa and Africa south of the Sahara, as well as in Arabic. They highlight the themes and styles of the African novel through an examination of the works that have either attained canonical status - an entire chapter is devoted to the work of Chinua Achebe - or can be expected to do so. Including a guide to further reading and a chronology, this is the ideal starting-point for students of African and world literatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his lifetime, Kalu researched profusely, argued trenchantly, thought and taught powerfully to change how African Pentecostalism is portrayed, arguing that its roots lie just as much within traditional African religions as they do within Christianity. This collection of 16 essays, edited by his widow, among others, clearly show that he not only corrected distorted scholarship, but also altered the way Africa in general was portrayed in Western academia.
