Full text linkThis study examines the factors that influence student motivation in learning, specifically studying the role of feedback and teaching methods. Using regression analysis, we identified two main factors that significantly increase student motivation: constructive feedback and teaching methods that facilitate understanding of study materials. Moreover, relevant literature and contemporary teaching methods were discussed. Results show that students are more motivated when they receive improvement-promoting feedback because it supports their academic growth and engagement. In addition, teaching methods that promote understanding and create an enjoyable learning environment go a long way in promoting sustained motivation. These results highlight the importance of developmental feedback and effective teaching methods in creating a positive and motivating educational experience
Content Marketing as a Tourism Promotion Strategy: A Conceptual Review
Full text linkThe global tourism industry is characterized by a fluctuating and unpredictable market environment, where advanced marketing approaches are essential to gaining and maintaining competitiveness. Content marketing has emerged as a powerful strategy to promote tourism services in such conditions. Its potential in achieving various marketing objectives makes it one of the primary choices for managing communication with target audiences. As online technologies develop, modern trends emerge at the same pace. Adopting these trends and technologies ensures an effective influence on travelers' behavior. Furthermore, to establish long-lasting and valuable relationships with customers, content marketing decisions must be data-driven.

Genre et Violences Scolaires au Cameroun (2015-2024) : Une Analyse Documentaire
Full text linkLa situation entre le genre et les violences scolaires au Cameroun entre 2015 et 2024 a été marquée par des défis significatifs. Les violences scolaires (agressions physiques et sexuelles, harcèlements, etc.), touchent les filles comme les garçons, exacerbées par les normes patriarcales, les conflits (Anglophone, Boko – Haram) et la pauvreté. Au cours de cette période, plusieurs initiatives ont été mises en place pour sensibiliser et lutter contre ces violences. Des Institutions Gouvernementales et des Organisations non Gouvernementales ont travaillé à promouvoir l’égalité des genres et à protéger les élèves. Cependant, malgré ces efforts, les violences basées sur le genre demeurent un problème persistant. Comment les réalités socio – culturelles et institutionnelles locales influencent – elles les formes, la fréquence et la gestion des violences scolaires au Cameroun ? Cette analyse documentaire relève 3 pistes. La première suggère que les filles sont plus exposées aux violences sexuelles et psychologiques, tandis que les garçons subissent davantage de violences physiques, légitimées par des stéréotypes de renforcement du caractère. La seconde souligne que le signalement est freiné par des dynamiques genrées. La troisième avance que les violences genrées sont exacerbées dans les zones en crise (régions anglophones) et en milieu rural.
The situation between gender and school violence in Cameroon between 2015 and 2024 was marked by significant challenges. School violence (physical and sexual aggression, harassment, etc.) affects both girls and boys, exacerbated by patriarchal norms, conflicts (Anglophone, Boko-Haram), and poverty. During this period, a number of initiatives have been put in place to raise awareness and combat this violence. Government institutions and non-governmental organisations have worked to promote gender equality and protect students. However, despite these efforts, gender-based violence remains a persistent problem. How do local socio-cultural and institutional realities influence the forms, frequency and management of school violence in Cameroon? This literature review has identified 3 avenues. The first suggests that girls are more exposed to sexual and psychological violence, while boys suffer more physical violence, legitimised by character-building stereotypes. The second stresses that reporting is hampered by gendered dynamics. The third argues that gendered violence is exacerbated in crisis zones (English–speaking regions) and in rural areas
Meiji Restoration and Modernization: The Role of Intellectuals in The Context of Gramsci's Theory of Hegemony and Counter-Hegemony
Full text linkThe Meiji Era (1868-1912) was a crucial period in Japan’s modernization, marked by profound social and political transformations under Western influence. Japanese intellectuals played a key role in reconciling traditional values with modern Western ideas. Inspired by Western science, technology, and administrative systems, the Meiji government sought to reshape Japan into a global power. Intellectuals explored concepts such as freedom, democracy, and individualism, integrating them into Japanese society while maintaining cultural identity.
This study examines the impact of Meiji intellectual movements on Japan’s modernization. The central questions include: How did Japanese intellectuals interpret Western thought? What proposals did they offer for modernization? How did their views on "civilization" and "enlightenment" influence state policies? What tensions arose between traditional values and Western modernization ideas? Addressing these questions, this study explores the intellectual foundation of Japan’s transformation into a modern nation-state. Additionally, using Gramsci’s hegemony theory and ideology analysis, it investigates how the ruling class employed ideological tools to shape modernization.
Findings reveal that Meiji intellectuals sought a balance between tradition and modernization. They aimed to preserve Japan’s national identity while embracing scientific and technological advancements. This dual approach aligned with Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, which stresses obtaining societal consent for change. Ultimately, the Meiji intellectual movements shaped Japan’s policies, fostering a unique modernization process that blended Western influences with indigenous traditions. This dynamic balance allowed Japan to emerge as a strong, modernized state while maintaining its cultural heritage

Etre porteur de trisomie 21 et réussir dans le domaine artistique : analyse de la contribution du soutien à l’autodétermination au développement des compétences artistiques en contexte camerounais
Full text linkCette étude concerne les apprenants du Centre National de Réhabilitation des Personnes Handicapées (CNRPH) au Cameroun atteints de trisomie 21 et inscrits dans les différents ateliers d’art de ce Centre. Elle vise la description des pratiques de soutien à l’autodétermination et sa contribution aux compétences artistiques des sujets T21. Nous avons à cet effet, mené des entrevus semi-dirigés avec les enseignants et les apprenants et avons établi une grille d’observation pour les compétences construites. Les résultats relèvent que lorsque les enseignants : offrent des possibilités de faire des choix ; privilégient le rôle de guide plutôt que celui du maître ; donnent des feed-back positifs et instaurent un climat de confiance chez les apprenants, on observe ces derniers faire preuve d’engagement avec persévérance et ténacité dans les activités artistiques en organisant, choisissant et mobilisant les gestes, outils et langage adaptés. Aussi, les élèves perçoivent en ces actes de soutien, des sources de motivation, d’accroissement de leur engagement et d’amélioration dans la planification de leurs activités.

Assessing Climatic Variability in Data scare regions of Morocco: Drought Periods and Exceptional Precipitation Events
Full text linkThe southern Mediterranean region is characterized by significant climatic variability, which profoundly affects precipitation patterns, a critical water resource. To explore this variability, we conducted a comprehensive statistical analysis of the upper Larbaâ basin, situated at the edge of the Eastern Rif Mountains. This area has been experiencing atypical weather events, including sudden flooding and extended drought periods. Our research involved a thorough analysis of monthly and annual precipitation data spanning 65 years, from 1958 to 2023. The homogeneity test revealed a disturbance in the time series from the late 1970s to the early 1980s across all monitored rainfall stations. Utilizing the Moving Average and Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) model, we identified variations in rainfall amounts, demonstrating a notable trend from the southwest to the northeast of the basin. Furthermore, correlation analysis between precipitation levels and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index showed an inverse relationship, particularly evident in the northwestern section of the watershed. The EM index indicated a drought duration ranging from 33 to 36 years within the observed time frame, with one-third of the sampling classified as normal drought and two instances categorized as severe events according to the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). Our findings suggest that the Pearson type III distribution is the most appropriate for estimating the return periods of extreme precipitation in Taza, whereas the Gumbel distribution is better suited for Sebt Boukellal. We record precipitation levels of 45 mm in Taza and 54 mm in Sebt Boukellal for a return period of 5 years and rise to 88 mm in Taza and 95 mm in Sebt Boukellal for a return period of 100 years
