L’analyse comparée des rendements scolaires des apprenants bénéficiaires et non bénéficiaires des cantines scolaires de la circonscription de Bacongo Brazzaville
No full textThis study, which relates to the school canteen, was carried out in Brazzaville. Five (5) public primary schools in the Bacongo school district were chosen to conduct this study. Its objective was to analyze its impact on the academic performance of learners. For this purpose, the quantitative approach has been favored. It consisted in first collecting from a questionnaire the opinions of 52 education professionals. Second, to compare the academic results of 250 learners who may or may not benefit from the canteens. The related data was also collected from a documentary analysis. This was done on the basis of the academic results of the first and third quarter of the 2018-2019 school years. The analysis of the opinions of education professionals has shown overall that the canteen does not have a significant impact on the academic performance of learners. Because, 75% of inspectors of primary education affirmed that the school canteen did not have a favorable impact on school performance. In addition, the comparison of the results of the two groups of learners corroborates the initial results of the study. Indeed, the difference between the two groups is only 0.8% of the success rate. However, it improved school attendance, punctuality and reduced dropouts. In other African countries such as Senegal, the canteen has been beneficial. These results should therefore appeal to decision-makers, managers and professionals of the Congolese education system in order to improve the organization of the canteen to achieve better returns.Cette étude qui porte sur la cantine scolaire a été réalisée à Brazzaville. Cinq (5) écoles primaires publiques de la circonscription scolaire de Bacongo ont été choisies pour mener cette étude. Elle a eu pour objectif de montrer son impact sur les rendements scolaires des apprenants. À cet effet, l’approche quantitative a été privilégiée. Elle a consisté à recueillir premièrement à partir d’un questionnaire les opinions de cinquante-deux (52) professionnels de l’éducation. Deuxièmement à comparer les résultats scolaires de deux-cent-cinquante (250) apprenants bénéficiaires ou non des cantines. Les données y relatives ont été aussi recueillies à partir d’une analyse documentaire. Celle-ci a été faite à base des résultats scolaires du premier et du troisième trimestre de l’année scolaire 2018-2019. L’analyse des opinions des professionnels de l’éducation a montré globalement que la cantine n’a pas un impact significatif sur les rendements scolaires des apprenants. Car, 75% des inspecteurs de l’enseignement primaire ont affirmé que la cantine scolaire n’a pas eu un impact favorable sur les rendements scolaires. En outre, la comparaison des résultats des deux groupes d’apprenants corrobore les premiers résultats de l’étude. En effet, l’écart entre les deux groupes n’est que de 0,8% du taux de réussite. Entre autres, une étude réalisée à Brazzaville en 2014a montré que l’organisation de celle-ci émiettait en grande partie le temps d’apprentissage. Ce qui expliquerait, certainement, l’inefficacité de celle-ci. Ces résultats devraient donc interpeller les décideurs, gestionnaires et professionnels du système éducatif congolais afin d’améliorer l’organisation de la cantine pour escompter un meilleur rendement. 
Difficultés d’Enseignement/Apprentissage de l’Expression Ecrite En Classe de CM1 dans la Circonscription Scolaire de Bacongo (République du Congo)
Get PDFAbstract The purpose of the study that we conducted was based on analyzing the difficulties encountered by teachers and learners during the teaching /learning process of written expression. This study took place in the school district of Bacongo which is the second district of Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo. The non-experimental method underpinned by two approaches were used in particular: the quantitative approach and the qualitative approach. The instruments that we used to carry out the survey were the questionnaire and the documentary analysis. The questionnaire was sent to teachers, education supervisors and students. The documentary analysis focused on primary school curricula, text books used by teachers and analysis of copies. The results from the questionnaire were sometime contradictory between the teachers and their supervisors. Some have said that they are not followed when they teach written expression, while others oppose them. However, they unanimous regarding the absence of continuing education and educational documents. Indeed, teachers suffer from the absence or insufficiency of both initial and continuous training relating to written expression, which results from the documentary analysis corroborate those of the questionnaire. To this lack of training is added the difficulty of the language used at school, which is a foreign language: French. To this end, the multiplication training sessions relating to this teaching and the linguistic both are essential.Keywords: difficulties-teaching/learning-written expression-initial training-continual training Résumé :L’étude que nous avons menée s’est focalisé sur l’analyse des difficultés que rencontrent les enseignants et les apprenants lors du processus enseignement/ apprentissage de l’expression écrite. Cette étude s’est passée dans la circonscription scolaire de Bacongo qui est le deuxième arrondissement de Brazzaville en République du Congo. La méthode non expérimentale sous tendue par deux approches a été utilisée notamment : l’approche quantitative et l’approche qualitative. Les instruments qui ont servi pour réaliser l’enquête ont été le questionnaire et l’analyse documentaire. Le questionnaire a été adressé aux enseignants, aux encadreurs pédagogiques et aux élèves. L’analyse documentaire s’est focalisée sur les programmes scolaires du primaire, les manuels utilisés par les enseignants et l’analyse des copies. Les résultats issus du questionnaire ont été parfois contradictoires entre les enseignants et leurs encadreurs. Les uns ont affirmé qu’ils ne sont pas suivis lorsqu’ils déroulent l’enseignement de l’expression écrite par contre les autres les contrarient. Cependant, ils ont été unanimes en ce qui concerne l’absence de la formation continue et des documents pédagogiques. En effet, les enseignants souffrent de l’absence ou de l’insuffisance de la formation tant initiale que continue relative à l’expression écrite, ce qui a pour conséquence la mauvaise production écrite des apprenants. Les résultats issus de l’analyse documentaire corroborent ceux du questionnaire. A ce manque de formation s’ajoute la difficulté de la langue utilisée à l’école qui est une langue étrangère : le français. A cet effet, la multiplication des sessions de formation relative à cet enseignement et le bain linguistique s’avèrent indispensable.Mots clés : difficultés- enseignement/apprentissage- expression écrite -formation initiale -formation continue
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
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
