La danse comme outil d'intervention sociale : exploration pratique et théorique de l'intervention sociale auprès de préadolescents et adolescents

Plusieurs hypothèses planant autour de la danse, des cultures juvéniles et de l’intervention permettent de repérer l’existence d’une multiplicité de regards, mais sans rapport apparent entre eux. Les tenants du courant humaniste s'intéressent à la forme et à la structure de la danse en tant qu'art dans les pays de culture occidentale. Les tenants de l’approche anthropologique y voient un instrument de socialisation qui permet de créer, refléter ou renforcer des liens entre les participants, tout en transmettant les valeurs de la culture héritée (Blacking: 1963, Spencer: 1985, Ward: 1993, Bourdieu: 2002). D’un point de vue somatique, la danse permet la prédominance du corps sur l’esprit, car l’apprentissage se fait généralement par imitation (Guilcher: 1963, Faure: 2004). Dans ce cas, les participants sont appelés à « s’ouvrir à autrui » en montrant et en apprenant des autres, créant une circularité dans leurs échanges sur un rythme qui « unit » les participants (Schott-Billman: 2001, Hampartzoumian : 2004). Ce projet se pose comme une réflexion sur le ou les sens de la danse comme outil d’intervention sociale auprès de jeunes amateurs amenés à vivre des inégalités sociales. En privilégiant un contexte d’atelier, où certains ajustements sont tolérés par l’enseignant, un espace de créativité s’organise de manière informelle face à un objectif donné : une représentation publique dansée. Cet angle d’approche s’inspire de « la métaphore du bricolage » au sujet des cultures populaires par M. De Certeau (1980), où la créativité populaire est repérable dans « les manières de faire avec » les produits imposés par la culture dominante, la politique, l’économie et les enjeux sociaux dominants. Ainsi, le participant qui « perturbe » les règles d’usage d’une intervention prescrite n’est pas un sujet en marge de la société. C’est par des actions pareilles qu’il prend sa place comme acteur social. Cet événement permet « d’in-corps-porer » le double discours existant entre les danses de représentation et les danses populaires chez les participants.

What is reflection? A conceptual analysis of major definitions and a proposal of a five-component definition and model

La réflexion est considérée comme un élément significatif de la pédagogie et de la pratique médicales sans qu’il n’existe de consensus sur sa définition ou sur sa modélisation. Comme la réflexion prend concurremment plusieurs sens, elle est difficile à opérationnaliser. Une définition et un modèle standard sont requis afin d’améliorer le développement d’applications pratiques de la réflexion. Dans ce mémoire, nous identifions, explorons et analysons thématiquement les conceptualisations les plus influentes de la réflexion, et développons de nouveaux modèle et définition. La réflexion est définie comme le processus de s’engager (le « soi » (S)) dans des interactions attentives, critiques, exploratoires et itératives (ACEI) avec ses pensées et ses actions (PA), leurs cadres conceptuels sous-jacents (CC), en visant à les changer et en examinant le changement lui-même (VC). Notre modèle conceptuel comprend les cinq composantes internes de la réflexion et les éléments extrinsèques qui l’influencent.

Wideband trapezoidal strip grating for elimination of specular reflection

A trapezoidal strip grating surface that eliminates specular reflections almost over the entire X -band frequency range for TM polarization is reported This new grating structure overcomes the bandwidth limitation of conventional rectangular strip grating surfaces

Influence of the interaction potential on simulated sputtering and reflection data

The TRIM.SP program which is based on the binary collision approximation was changed to handle not only repulsive interaction potentials, but also potentials with an attractive part. Sputtering yields, average depth and reflection coefficients calculated with four different potentials are compared. Three purely repulsive potentials (Meliere, Kr-C and ZBL) are used and an ab initio pair potential, which is especially calculated for silicon bombardment by silicon. The general trends in the calculated results are similar for all potentials applied, but differences between the repulsive potentials and the ab initio potential occur for the reflection coefficients and the sputtering yield at large angles of incidence.

Teacher Training Videos

Free online training resources on using web 2.0 tools for busy lecturers. - 'Outstanding ICT initiative of the year' winner of the JISC award is commended for 'commitment to open access to online content' A wealth of openly available multimedia content won the JISC/Times Higher Award. Created by University of Westminster lecturer Russell Stannard's websites build upon pioneering work using video to mark students' work. Using screen recording software, Stannard recorded himself walking through various Web 2.0 technologies with a voice-over, which were then uploaded to a website - www.teachertrainingvideos.com. The site quickly proved popular and rapidly built into a bank of over 30 videos.

Self-medication and related terms: a conceptual reflection

Introduction: self-medication has become a growing practice in the world population. This phenomenon has been promoted as a form of self-care, with a positive impact on reducing spending in health systems, however there is concern about the potential negative effects related to inadequate diagnosis and treatment, which can affect health of individuals. This dual perception of the phenomenon is partly related to a variety of terms and concepts used, that make difficult its theoretical and empirical approach. Harmonization of the definitions involved is required in order to make adequate epidemiological comparisons. Objectives: analyze the concept of self medication and related terms from the definitions in the literature of the subject. Conclusions: in the last four decades it has been an evolution of both the wording and the definitions related to self-medication, from a very simple concept that implies the absence of prescription, to more complex ones that encompass very diverse behaviors, even those mediated by an act of prescription but not followed or not completed by the patient. Additionally the conceptual proliferation seen, justify the ordering of the terms related to self-medication. This paper presents a proposal for classification in four groups: a. self-medication, b. self care, c. pharmaceutical preparations and medicines, and d. prescription. This proposal should facilitate the exploration and analysis of the phenomenon and allow future theoretical approaches.

The High Education Teacher, an Agent of Moral Development

The article shows the classroom like an workplace to move moral development, from the relationship between students and professors in the university atmosphere. It proposes elements to take to the practice the ethics education a transverse curriculum line. It assumes the ethics, from a plural perspective, founded on the knowledge and the human action. It joins the integral formation with the conceptions of education, curriculum, pedagogical models and methodologies of education. It proposes actions to demonstrate the commitment of the professor with the integral formation. Finally, concludes that the professor is agent of moral development and that in the classroom is constructed: identity, autonomy and responsibility, from open and plural relation between professors and students and between these and the knowledge.
