La réforme du système éducatif et la démocratisation de l’éducation au Burkina Faso
No full textLe Burkina Faso est un pays dont le capital humain est la ressource essentielle et la force motrice du développement. Et la valorisation de ce capital est tributaire de l’éducation et de la formation à travers un système éducatif parfaitement adapté aux réalités économiques et sociales du pays pour être à même d’en assurer le développement. Atteindre les objectifs d’une éducation tournée vers le développement exige de repenser le système éducatif tout entier ; les intellectuels, les acteurs et les spécialistes du milieu de l’éducation du Burkina Faso n’ont pas cessé d’en appeler à cette réflexion et à des choix éclairés aussi bien à travers leurs écrits qu’à travers plusieurs forums importants. Les diagnostics dressés par ces différentes instances ont conduit à l’adoption d’une première loi d’orientation en 1996, puis d’une deuxième en 2007 et lanceront le processus de la présente réforme du système éducatif dont l’appropriation par les différents acteurs du système éducatif est seulement amorcée
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispositif Pédagogique Pour L’apprentissage Des Oxydations Respiratoires Et La Résolution De Problèmes Non Routiniers
Get PDFIn the sixth option D Form classroom, breathing is considered in terms of respiratory gas exchange and bioenergetics. The syllabus is generally away from the concept of breathing as seen in social representations and elsewhere at school, which is close to the old conceptions in many respects. Former introduction to those old conceptions hinders students’ ability to relate the enzymatic processes they are learning and the knowledge acquired in lower classes from the study of nutritional functions. This makes it necessary to develop teaching methods likely to incite learning in other disciplines and favor knowledge transfer towards solving non-routine problems. An experiment was conducted in Burkina Faso taking into account these issues and using a pedagogical device implementing a method of learning through problem-solving and integrating error treatment by teachers and socio-cognitive debate. This device, developed by the LIRDEF’s Didactics and Socialization Department, University of Montpellier II, shows that when students’ autonomy and right to make errors are valued and their emotional security guaranteed, they make significant learning following confrontation of their arguments.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijere.v3i4.693
Dispositif didactique pour l’enseignement-apprentissage de l’immunologie dans une perspective de l’approche par les compétences
No full textEducation system of Burkina Faso is struggling to get pupils to learn science, due to a number of difficulties, including shortcomings in the methods and techniques used to teach the subject. This study focuses on the teaching and learning of Life and Earth Sciences, with particular reference to immunology. Our theoretical and methodological framework is in line with that of problem-based learning. The system used in this study combines problem-based learning and the competency-based approach (CBA) for teaching and learning immunology. Indeed, the three-stage process of problem-based learning (problem positioning, problem construction and problem solving) is consistent with APC. As part of this study, a teaching session on immunology content was carried out in four classes, two experimental and two control, the former using the problematization-APC device, the latter the usual device based on pedagogy by objectives (PPO). A comparison of the results obtained between control and experimental classes was made at the end of the course sessions after summative evaluation. The results show that the combination of problem-based learning and APC improves the way immunology is taught, and enhances student learning, compared with the usual approach.Le système éducatif burkinabè peine à faire réaliser des apprentissages scientifiques aux élèves à cause de difficultés multiformes au nombre desquelles figurent les insuffisances liées aux méthodes et techniques mises en œuvre pour les contenus enseignés. Cette étude porte sur l’enseignement-apprentissage des concepts de l’immunologie. Le dispositif utilisé s’appuie sur l’apprentissage par problématisation et l’approche par compétences (APC). En effet, le processus de l’apprentissage par problématisation qui se déroule en trois étapes (position, construction et résolution du problème) est cohérent avec l’APC. Dans le cadre de cette étude, une séance d’enseignement sur un contenu en immunologie a été réalisée dans quatre classes, deux expérimentales et deux témoins. Les premières utilisent le dispositif problématisation-APC, les secondes le dispositif habituel basé sur la pédagogie par objectifs (PPO). Une comparaison des résultats obtenus entre classes témoins et expérimentales a été faite à l’issue des séances de cours. Ces résultats indiquent que l’association de l’apprentissage par problématisation à l’APC permet une meilleure conduite de l’enseignement de l’immunologie et une amélioration des apprentissages des élèves comparativement à l’approche utilisée habituellement
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
