Au Canada, l’immigration est en augmentation depuis les 25 dernières années. À Québec, entre 1999 et 2008, les Colombiens ont été les plus nombreux à s’établir en tant que réfugiés. Cette augmentation de la diversité de la population n’est pas sans conséquences pour les institutions de santé publique. C’est vrai en particulier pour la protection de la jeunesse dans laquelle les familles migrantes et réfugiées sont surreprésentées. Il est par ailleurs reconnu que le processus d’acculturation entraine une transformation des rôles parentaux. De plus, des recherches ont établi un lien entre l’endossement de certaines valeurs, notamment celles axées sur la famille (familismo) et les rôles sexuels (machismo) pour expliquer les pratiques de parents migrants « latinos » et le rapport qu’elles entretiennent avec les institutions. Cette étude comparative a pour objectif d’explorer, à partir de la parole des premiers concernés, c’est-à-dire les parents, les représentations de leurs pratiques parentales, de la maltraitance et de la protection de la jeunesse. Cette exploration a été réalisée auprès de deux populations de parents : des parents québécois et colombiens ayant migrés à Québec. Un devis mixte impliquant des focus groups a été mis en place. Au total, 49 participants (Québécois : 30, 5 focus groups et Colombiens : 19, 4 focus groups) ont été rencontrés et ont rempli trois questionnaires. Ceux-ci mesurent le familismo, le machismo et l’acculturation. Les scores moyens de familismo, de machismo et d’acculturation ont été intégrés à l’analyse thématique. Il apparait que Québécois et Colombiens se différencient peu quant aux pratiques parentales et aux représentations de la maltraitance et de la protection de la jeunesse. Cependant, la question du développement de l’autonomie et de la réussite des enfants sont deux thèmes majeurs pour lesquels il y a des différences. La place qu’occupe l’État québécois, par l’intermédiaire du système de protection de la jeunesse dans la résolution des conflits, suscite également des discours contrastés. La place que ces personnes prennent dans la société devrait avoir un impact sur le fonctionnement des institutions quant à l’intervention et à la diffusion de l’information par rapport au système de la protection de la jeunesse.

O presente estudo aborda a percepção de pais de crianças e adolescentes com câncer sobre a doença e sobre a morte. A pesquisa de campo possibilitou, através das entrevistas, a obtenção das histórias parciais de pais ou mães de crianças e adolescentes com câncer. Foi possível verificar que os pais percebem os sintomas físicos do filho e tomam suas providências; após o diagnóstico sabem que seu filho tem câncer, mas dividem-se em mencionar o nome da doença ou mantê-la sob resguardo; percebem a doença como algo descontrolado, maligno, perigoso. Os médicos são vistos como facilitadores no processo saúde-doença, mas em alguns casos, também como aqueles que certificam a família sobre o prognóstico inevitável. O câncer muda a vida da família, desde a rotina até os valores. Alguns pais acreditam que o câncer existe em todas as pessoas, mas se desenvolve em algumas dependendo de seu estado físico ou emocional. Aqui surgem as concepções genéticas, religiosas, de causa-efeito, noções de culpa e castigo, menção das histórias de vida para explicar a doença. Para a morte, os pais mencionam pensar nela de forma mais próxima depois do advento da doença. Componentes de fé, esperança e elaboração para suas angústias aparecem com frequência nas falas destes pais. O estudo permitiu compreender de que forma os pais percebem e representam a doença de seus filhos com câncer, como vivenciam a possibilidade e o sentido da morte e de que maneira passam a compreender a finitude depois da dura experiência.

In this study, we explored the predictive role of family interactions and family representations in mothers and fathers during pregnancy for postnatal motherfatherinfant interactions during the first 2 years after birth. Families (N = 42) were seen at the fifth month of pregnancy and at 3 and 18 months after birth. During pregnancy, parents were asked to play with their baby at the first meeting by using a doll in accordance with the procedure of the prenatal Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP; A. Corboz-Warnery & E. Fivaz-Depeursinge, 2001; E. Fivaz-Depeursinge, F. Frascarolo-Moutinot, & A. Corboz-Warnery, 2010). Family representations were assessed by administering the Family System Test (T. Gehring, 1998). Marital satisfaction and the history of the couple were assessed through self-reported questionnaires. At 3 and 18 months, family interactions were assessed in the postnatal LTP. Infant temperament was assessed through parent reports. Results show that (a) prenatal interactions and child temperament are the most important predictors of family interactions and (b) paternal representations are predictive of family interactions at 3 months. These results show that observational assessment of nascent family interactions is possible during pregnancy, which would allow early screening of family maladjustment. The findings also highlight the necessity of taking into account paternal representations as a significant variable in the development of family interactions.

Since 2008 all Australian school students have sat standardised tests in Reading, Writing, Language Conventions (Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation) and Numeracy in years 3,5,7 and 9. NAPLAN tests report individual students' attainment of skills against a set of standards. Individual student results are communicated to parents. Schools are then ranked against other schools depending upon the aggregate of their NAPLAN results. The process is explained to parents and community members as “improving the learning outcomes for all Australian students” (MCEETYA, 2009). This paper will examine NAPLAN as it is being played out in a mediated space through analysing unsolicited comment found in new media such as Twitter and online forums. NAPLAN intersects with contemporary debates about Australian education policy: the roles schools should play in improving national productivity, the relationship between state and federal government interest in education, the role and expectations of the teacher, what curriculum and pedagogy should be and look like and how limited financial resources can best be spread across education sectors and systems. These are not new considerations, however, what has changed is that education policy seems to have become even more of a political issue than it has before. This paper uses Ball's 'toolkit' approach to education policy analysis to suggest that there are multiple 'effects' of NAPLAN culminating in a series of disconnected conversations between various stakeholders.

This paper demonstrates that in order to understand and design for interactions in complex work environments, a variety of representational artefacts must be developed and employed. A study was undertaken to explore the design of better interaction technologies to support patient record keeping in a dental surgery. The domain chosen is a challenging real context that exhibits problems that could potentially be solved by ubiquitous computing and multi-modal interaction technologies. Both transient and durable representations were used to develop design understandings. We describe the representations, the kinds of insights developed from the representations and the way that the multiple representations interact and carry forward in the design process.

This paper examines the experiences of one middle years’ English and Studies of Society and Environment (SoSE) teacher who adopted a multiliteracies project-based orientation to a unit on War and Refugees. It details the multiliteracies teaching and learning cycle, which is based on four non-hierarchical, pedagogical orientations: situated practice, overt instruction, critical framing and transformed practice (New London Group, 2000; Kalantzis & Cope, 2005a). Following the work of Kalantzis and Cope (2005a), it draws out the knowledge processes exacted in each of these four phases: experiencing the known and the new; conceptualising by naming and theorising; analysing functionally and critically; and, applying appropriately and creatively. Two parents were invited to enter the study as coteachers with the teacher and researcher. Using Bourdieu’s (1992) construct of capital, the findings report on how the multiliteracies approach enabled them to engage in school-based literacy practices differently than they had done previously in classrooms. An unexpected finding concerns the teacher’s altered view about how his role and status were perceived by the parents.

This study is an inquiry into the professional identity constructions of early childhood educators, where identity is conceptualised as social and contextual. Through a genealogical analysis of narratives of four Queensland early childhood teachers, the thesis renders as problematic universal and fixed notions of what it is to be an early childhood professional. The data are the four teachers’ professional life history narratives recounted through a series of conversational interviews with each participant. As they spoke about professionalism and ethics, these teachers struggled to locate themselves as professionals, as they drew on a number of dominant discourses available to them. These dominant discourses were located and mapped through analysis of the participants’ talk about relationships with parents, colleagues and authorities. Genealogical analysis enabled multiple readings of the ways in which the participants’ talk held together certainties and uncertainties, as they recounted their experiences and spoke of early childhood expertise, relational engagement and ethics. The thesis concludes with suggestions for ways to support early childhood teachers and pre-service teachers to both engage with and resist normative processes and expectations of professional identity construction. In so doing, multiple and contextual opportunities can be made available when it comes to being professional and ‘doing’ ethics. The thesis makes an argument for new possibilities for thinking and speaking professional identities that include both certainty and uncertainty, comfort and discomfort, and these seemingly oppositional terms are held together in tension, with an insistence that both are necessary and true. The use of provocations offers tools through which pre-service teachers, teachers and teacher educators can access new positions associated with certainties and uncertainties in professional identities. These new positions call for work that supports experiences of ‘de-comfort’ – that is, experiences that encourage early childhood educators to step away from the comfort zones that can become part of expertise, professional relationships and ethics embedded within normative representations of what it is to be an early childhood professional.
