    تهدف هذه المساهمة، والتي هي نظرية بحتة، إلى إبراز ما يمكن أن يجلبه التلعيب، كأساس في تصميم البرامج، لعملية التعلم على المستويات المعرفية والنفسية والاجتماعية. لهذا، نعتمد على المساهمة النظرية لعلوم الأعصاب في مجال التعليم. الحداثة الرئيسية التي جلبها هذا العلم هو تجنب الفصل الذي كان قائماً بين اللعب في جانب والتعلم من الجانب الآخر. من هذا المنظور، لن تكون المدرسة بعد الآن مكانًا "للعمل" بمعناه الاشتقاقي الذي يشير إلى المعاناة. من الآن فصاعدًا، يمكن اعتبار المدرسة مكانًا يمكن أن يوفر المتعة للتعلم من خلال اللعب. يظهر من هذه الدراسة أن اللعب يسمح بالفعل للمتعلم بالتهوين من أهمية عملية التعلم من خلال الحد من الخوف من ارتكاب الأخطاء. في الواقع، يمكنه الانخراط بسهولة أكبر والمشاركة بنشاط في تعلمه دون أن يهدده شبح الفشل في كل مرة يقوم فيها بنشاط. وبالتالي، فإن عملية التعلم بالألعاب تجعل عملية التدريس / التعلم أكثر راحة لعقل المتعلم. المساهمة التي قدمها هذا الشكل الجديد من التدريس / التعلم تدعو إلى دمجها في عروض تكوين الأساتذة.La présente contribution, qui se veut purement théorique, vise à mettre en exergue ce que peut apporter la ludification, en tant que fondement dans la conception des programmes, au processus d’apprentissage sur le plan cognitif, psychologique, et social. Pour cela, nous nous basons sur l’apport théorique des neurosciences dans le domaine de l’éducation. La principale nouveauté apportée par cette science est le dépassement de la dichotomie existante jusque-là entre le jeu d’un côté et l’apprentissage de l’autre. Dans cette perspective, l’école ne sera plus un lieu de « travail » dans son sens étymologique renvoyant à la souffrance. Désormais, l’école peut être considérée comme un lieu pouvant procurer du plaisir à apprendre moyennant le jeu. Il ressort de cette étude qu’en effet le jeu permet à l’apprenant de dédramatiser le processus d’apprentissage en endiguant la peur de commettre des « fautes ». En effet, il peut s’engager plus facilement et participe activement dans son apprentissage sans que le spectre de l’échec ne le menace à chaque fois qu’il entreprend une tâche. Ainsi, la ludification des apprentissages rend le processus d’enseignement/apprentissage plus ergonomique pour le cerveau de l’apprenant. L’apport que constitue cette nouvelle forme d’enseignement/apprentissage plaide en faveur de son intégration dans les offres de formation des enseignants

    This article explores the pedagogical, linguistic, emotional, and critical dimensions of poetry in contemporary educational contexts. Through in-depth analysis, it demonstrates that poetry is not simply a subject of study, but a cross-disciplinary educational tool that stimulates creativity, develops self-expression, strengthens linguistic and oral skills, and cultivates critical thinking. Drawing on examples from great poets (Hugo, Éluard, Darwich, Prévert, etc.) and concrete pedagogical tools (writing workshops, expressive reading, interdisciplinary approaches), the article highlights the many contri-butions of poetry to a humanistic, inclusive, and sensitive education. Finally, it offers concrete perspectives for its sustainable integration into school and university practicesCet article explore les dimensions pédagogique, linguistique, émotionnelle et critique de la poésie dans les contextes éducatifs con-temporains. À travers une analyse approfondie, il démontre que la poésie n’est pas un simple objet d’étude, mais un levier de formation transversal qui stimule la créativité, développe l’expression de soi, renforce les compétences linguistiques et orales, et cultive la pensée critique. En s’appuyant sur des exemples de grands poètes (Hugo, Éluard, Darwich, Prévert, etc.) et des dispo-sitifs pédagogiques concrets (ateliers d’écriture, lecture expressive, approche interdisciplinaire), l’article met en lumière les multiples apports de la poésie pour une éducation humaniste, inclusive et sensible. Il propose enfin des perspectives concrètes pour son intégration durable dans les pratiques scolaires et universitaire

    Adapting the Rhetoric of Authentication of Riad Sattouf’s La Vie secrète des jeunes

    No full text
    The comic book series La Vie secrète des jeunes is a sardonic account of French young people’s behaviours witnessed from the voyeuristic viewpoint of its author-illustrator, Riad Sattouf. Despite its caricatural and non-photorealistic visual style, the work conveys a strong sense of authenticity, mixing truth claims borrowed from established non-fiction traditions (journalism, autobiography and documentary). It is also a rare example of a non-fiction comic turned into live action. This article considers the comic and its TV adaptation, and discusses film’s ability to adapt an account of truth rooted in comics ontology. The article first provides a theoretical structure that details the intricacy of repeating the truth from comic to film. Second, it highlights the way in which the comic develops its authenticity by constantly reaffirming Sattouf’s presence and subjectivity. The article aims to show that the adaptation anonymises this viewpoint in order to re-construct the authenticity of its reality.</jats:p

    Construction et déconstruction de la masculinité hégémonique dans L’Arabe du futur 1 : Une jeunesse au Moyen-Orient (1978-1984) de Riad Sattouf

    No full text
    Through the analysis of the graphic novel L'Arabe du future 1. Une jeunesse au Moyen-Orient (1978-1985) by the Franco-Syrian cartoonist Riad Sattouf, this contribution aims to investigate the construction of hegemonic masculinity in Gaddafi's post-colonial Libya and Hafez al Assad's Syria. First, this study intends to track the stages of Riad's journey towards the achievement of hegemonic masculinity. In this context, a special focus will be laid on the construction of the mother's character through that of the father, thereby showing how the female character takes shape from the male perspective. Second and finally, it attempts to analyse how the author implements a deconstruction path of hegemonic masculinity by using certain rhetorical devices, namely irony, stereotype repetition and the adoption of his own perspective as a child

    Radio frequency rectifiers for direct current-direct current power conversion

    Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2004.Includes bibliographical references (p. 75-78).This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.A significant factor driving the development of power conversion technology is the need to increase performance while reducing size and improving efficiency. In addition, there is a desire to increase the level of integration of DC-DC converters in order to take advantage of the cost and other benefits of batch fabrication techniques. While advances in the power density and integration of DC-DC converters have been realized through development of better active device technologies, much room for improvement remains in the size and fabrication of passive components. To achieve these improvements, a substantial increase in operating frequency is needed, since intermediate energy storage requirements are inversely proportional to frequency. Unfortunately, traditional power conversion techniques are ill-suited to handle this dramatic escalation of switching frequency. New architectures have been proposed which promise to deliver radical performance improvements while potentially reaching microwave frequencies. These new architectures promise to enable substantial miniaturization of DC-DC converters and to permit much a higher degree of integration. The principal effort of this thesis is the development of design and characterization methods for rectifier topologies amenable to use in the new architectures. A computational design approach allowing fast and accurate circuit analysis and synthesis is developed and applied, along with traditional analysis, to two demonstrative rectifier topologies. In addition, the application of coupled magnetic structures for parasitic mitigation is considered. Experimental implementations are investigated to verify analytic and computational results.by Riad Samir Wahby.M.Eng

    Analytical and experimental study of bed load distribution at alluvial diversions

    No full text
    It has long been observed that at most canal bifurcations the water diverted to the branch does not carry sediment in direct proportion to the rate of flow. Usually, the major part of sediment reaching a bifurcation is diverted into the small branches. This phenomenon has always bothered engineers responsible for the maintenance of irrigation and navigation canals which branch off relatively large alluvial streams. Experimental studies of this problem have usually been limited to the use of fixed bed flumes in which the velocity of flow was measured at different sections in the vicinity of the bifurcation. The distribution of the velocity both vertically and horizontally were then determined and considered as the basis of comparison between different cases. Some investigators studied the pattern of flow near the bed either by the introduction of sediment particles or pottasium permanganate crystals. In the present experimental study, sand was used as bed material and measurements in any run were only taken after the sand movement had reached equilibrium, when the rate of sediment feeding was equal to the sum of the rates of sediment being trapped at the end of main and branch channels. The experimental set-up consisted of a straight flume 20 m long and 0.80 m wide which represented the main canal and a lO m. X 0.50 m flume which branched off the main flume at 45 degrees, 8.20 m. from the upstream end and which represented the branch canal. At first a series of tests was carried out without a sand bed in order to study the wall roughness. Then the sand bed was introduced and a series of tests was carried out to determine the effect of the ratio between branch and main canal discharges upon the sediment behaviour at the bifurcation. In order to control the rate of sediment diversion into a branch, some artificial means have to be applied. In this respect the writer has experimented with the application of dividing walls which direct the bottom flow and guide vanes which direct the surface flow. In general and within the scope of the experiments, the guide vanes gave the better results. Hence, tests were concentrated on the determination of the best location and direction for such vanes, and the results of these experiments led to the recommendations described on fig. 50.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

    Regard d'enfant et perspective d'adulte : le travail de la mémoire dans L'Arabe du futur de Riad Sattouf

    No full text
    Le présent mémoire vise à explorer les enjeux liés au traitement de la mémoire dans la bande dessinée autobiographique L’Arabe du futur de Riad Sattouf, en s’intéressant au processus de remémoration qui, dans un jeu de rapprochement et d’éloignement, fait se croiser le regard de l’enfant, porté par l’image, et la perspective de l’adulte, qui relève essentiellement de la narration. Nous étudions cette dynamique à la lumière de la réalité interculturelle de l’auteur, de père syrien et de mère française ; en effet, l’ouvrage relate le façonnement identitaire d’un enfant qui, parti de France, se trouve plongé dans la culture du Moyen-Orient. Le récit autobiographique établit ainsi, par la remémoration, un dialogue entre, d’un côté, le temps et le lieu de l’écriture de l’adulte (aujourd’hui, en France) et, de l’autre, celui de l’expérience de l’enfant (les années 1980, au Moyen-Orient). Notre étude vise à comprendre la nature des rapports qui s’établissent, dans les trois tomes parus de L’Arabe du futur, entre sujet narrant adulte et sujet narré enfant. Dans un premier temps, nous nous intéresserons à la posture de l’enfant dans L’Arabe du futur, de manière à comprendre les implications de certains motifs que l’auteur associe à l’enfance, notamment l’objet vestige du passé et l’évocation sensorielle. Dans un deuxième temps, il faudra se pencher plus spécifiquement sur la perspective adulte et la manière dont celle-ci se distancie parfois du regard de l’enfant par des commentaires critiques et des écarts de temps, mais aussi par une utilisation des codes humoristiques pour représenter la violence, aspect qui relève davantage de la vision de l’adulte. Les interventions du narrateur se positionnent ainsi souvent de manière plus objective que le regard candide de l’enfant. Cependant, par-delà les écarts entre les perspectives, il faut signaler la présence d’aspects qui rapprochent ces dernières et qui mettent en lumière une certaine tension des cultures représentées au sein de la bande dessinée, notamment dans la relation des parents, mais aussi chez le personnage de Riad qui doit composer avec le fait d’être différent aussi bien en Syrie qu’en France.This thesis aims to explore issues pertaining to the memory process in Riad Sattouf’s autobiographical graphic work The Arab of the Future by focusing on the process of recollection. This approach is characterized by a reciprocation of remoteness and proximity between the view of the child, which is carried by the image, and the perspective of the adult, which is essentially carried by the narration. We study this dynamic in light of the intercultural reality of the author who has a Syrian father and a French mother. Accordingly, the book showcases the cultural identity of a child who left France and was immersed in the culture of the Middle East. By using the recollection process, the autobiography establishes a dialogue between the author’s current writing time and place (today, in France) and his childhood experience (in the eighties, in the Middle East). Our study’s aim is to understand the nature of the relations that are established between narrating subject (the adult) and narrated subject (the child) in the first three volumes of The Arab of the future. We start by studying the child's posture in The Arab of the Future in order to understand the implications of certain recurring aspect that the author associates with childhood (like the artefact or the vivid sensory evocation). Then, we will adress the adult perspective and observe how it sometimes distances itself from the candid child's gaze by using critical comments and time gaps. We will also analyze the use of comedic codes to portray violence, which is most attributable to the adult's vision. The narrator's interventions are therefore often positioned more objectively than the candid child’s view. However, beyond the gaps of the perspectives, we must point out the presence of aspects that bring them closer which at the same time highlight the cultural tension in the comic book especially considering the relationship between the parents. This cultural tension also exists in the character of Riad who has to deal with being different both in Syria and in France
