Download or read book Francophone Perspectives of Learning Through Work written by Laurent Filliettaz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book generates a comprehensive account of ways in which practice-based learning has been conceptualized in the Francophone context. Learning for occupations, and the educational and practice-based experiences supporting it are the subject of increased interest and attention globally. Governments, professional bodies, workplaces and workers are now looking for experiences that support the initial and ongoing development of occupational capacities. Consequently, more attention is being given to workplaces as sites for this learning. This focus on learning through work has long been emphasised in the Francophone world, which has developed distinct traditions and conceptions of associations between work and learning. These include ergonomics and professional didactics. Yet, whilst being accepted and of long standing in the Francophone world, these conceptions and traditions, and the practices supporting them are little known about or understood in the Anglophone world, which is the dominant medium for scientific and educational discussion. This book addresses this problem through drawing on accounts from France, Switzerland and Canada that make accessible and elaborate these traditions, conceptions and practices through examples of their applications to occupationally related learning. These accounts offer variations and culturally-specific developments of these traditions, but collectively emphasize a preoccupation with how both work and learning need to be understood through situated considerations of persons enacting their work practice. In this way, they offer noteworthy and worthwhile contributions to contemporary global considerations of learning through work.

Download or read book Comp Ency Anthropology written by Tim Ingold and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 1162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive survey of contemporary thought in biological, social and cultural anthropology sets the foundation for their future development and integration. The principal rationale behind the Encyclopedia is to overcome the division and fragmentation within the approaches of the humanities and natural sciences to anthropology. It emphasizes interconnections between perspectives and sub-disciplines, producing a complete perspective on what it means to be human. The work consists of three parts--Humanity, Culture, and Social Life--and 40 major contributions. Part One emphasizes human beings as members of a species, how that species differs from others, how it has evolved, and how human populations have adapted to and in turn transformed their environments. Part Two deals with the origin and structure of human culture, and on the role of culture in action, perception, and cognition. Part Three examines the various aspects of the relationships and processes that are carried on by persons and groups in the course of social life. Useful features such as cross-references within the text, full biographical references, suggestions for further reading and carefully illustrated line drawings make this an indispensable resource for all students of anthropology or sociology.

Download or read book Screen Damage written by Michel Desmurget and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All forms of recreational digital consumption – whether on smartphones, tablets, game consoles or TVs – have skyrocketed in the younger generations. From the age of 2, children in the West clock up more than 2.5 hours of screen time a day; by the time they reach 13, it’s more than 7 hours a day. Added up over the first 18 years of life, this is the equivalent of almost 30 school years, or 15 years of full-time employment. Most media experts do not seem overly concerned about this situation: children are adaptable, they say, they are ‘digital natives’, their brains have changed and screens make them smarter. But other specialists – including some paediatricians, psychiatrists, teachers and speech therapists – dispute these claims, and many parents worry about the long-term consequences of their children’s intensive exposure to screens. Michel Desmurget, a leading neuroscientist, has carefully weighed up the scientific evidence concerning the impact of the digital activities of our children and adolescents, and his assessment does not make for happy reading: he shows that these activities have significant detrimental consequences in terms of the health, behaviour and intellectual abilities of young people, and strongly affect their academic outcomes. A wake-up call for anyone concerned about the long-term impacts of our children’s over-exposure to screens.

Download or read book Dictionnaire D pist mologie G n tique written by A.M. Battro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'epistemologie genetique ne se confond pas avec la psychologie gene tique et celle-ci n'est elle-meme pas identique a la psychologie de l'enfant. Cette derniere etudie l'enfant pour lui-meme, tandis que la psychologie genetique cherche dans l'etude de l'enfant la solution des problemes generaux, tels que celui du mecanisme de l'intelligence, de la perception, etc., car, ce n'est qu'en analysant la formation de tels mecanismes que l'on parvient a fournir leur explication causale. En effet, en psychologie comme en biologie, l'explication est inseparable du developpement. De meme l'epistemologie genetique a pour objet l'examen de la formation des connaissances comme telles, c'est-a-dire des relations cognitives entre Ie sujet et les objets: e1le fait donc la transition entre la psychologie genetique et l'epistemologie en general, qu'elle espere enrichir par la consideration du developpement. Mais si l'epistemologie comporte toujours des presuppositions psychologiques (meme dans les theories qui pretendent pouvoir negliger Ie sujet et reduire son activite a un simple {laquo}Iangage{raquo}), qu'il s'agit donc de sou mettre au controle de l'experience et des faits, il intervient en outre dans la theorie des connaissances des considerations de logique ou d'algebre generale, etc., qui ne re1event plus d~ la psychologie, mais de la formalisation ou de la deduction pure. L'epistemologie genetique est donc de par sa nature meme une recherche interdisciplinaire, ou la psychologie genetique joue un role necessaire mais nullement suffisant.

This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'accès à l'information a toujours nécessité des médiations. Avec le numérique et l'internet, certaines sont devenues invisibles, d'autres se transforment et de nouvelles émergent. Le développement des moteurs commerciaux implique une banalisation des pratiques de recherche en ligne. Cet ouvrage analyse l'évolution des recherches scientifiques sur l'accès à l'information et les dispositifs associés. En se focalisant sur le fonctionnement des moteurs de recherche commerciaux, il attire l'attention sur un aspect souvent oublié : la dimension médiatique de ces dispositifs. L'accès à l'information en ligne appelle à un changement de paradigme pour mettre l'agir informationnel et les socialités associées au coeur des réflexions.

Download or read book Troubles de l apprentissage chez l enfant written by LENOBLE Evelyne and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les chemins qu’empruntent les enfants pour apprendre gardent toujours une part de mystère et réservent nombre de surprises, le plus souvent fort agréables. Lorsque des embûches se présentent, lorsque l’enfant peine pour apprendre, les parents, l’entourage familial ou éducatif au sens large ainsi que les enseignants, sont bien souvent pris au dépourvu. L’appel aux professionnels de santé est devenu un recours incontournable, dès que des « difficultés d’apprentissage » sont repérées chez un enfant. Écouter, observer... pour pouvoir aider au mieux, voici le défi auquel sont confrontés les soignants en collaboration avec la famille et l’équipe enseignante. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage – pédopsychiatres, psychologues, orthophonistes – s’appuient sur une longue expérience clinique de consultation hospitalière spécialisée dédiée aux troubles du langage et des apprentissages chez l’enfant (centre référent). L’enjeu d’un bilan pluridisciplinaire réalisé dans ce cadre est de proposer une analyse approfondie des difficultés, et de dégager, à partir des observations recueillies, des points d’appui et des leviers afin d’orienter les actions thérapeutiques et les remédiations dont pourra bénéficier l’enfant en difficulté. Les nombreuses vignettes cliniques décrivant le parcours des enfants au sein de ce centre référent ainsi que la description des outils de travail clinique utilisés, feront partager au lecteur l’expérience quotidienne de l’équipe d’auteurs cliniciens. Largement illustré par des cas cliniques évocateurs, ce livre intéressera tous les acteurs du soin – équipes de proximité (CMP, CMPP, SESSAD... ), équipes hospitalières spécialisées et praticiens libéraux (orthophonistes, psychologues, psychomotriciens, ergothérapeutes, psychopédagogues, pédiatres, pédopsychiatres, neuropédiatres...) – ainsi que les acteurs des champs pédagogique, éducatif et associatif, engagés auprès des enfants, sans oublier les familles.
