L'épuisement professionnel des enseignants : l'indiscipline des élèves et le rôle modérateur du sentiment d'autoefficacité

Cette étude cherche à identifier les types de comportements d’indiscipline qui ont des relations significatives avec les composantes de l'épuisement professionnel et à déterminer le rôle du sentiment d'autoefficacité des enseignants dans la relation entre l'indiscipline scolaire et l'épuisement professionnel. Nous avons fait parvenir des questionnaires, en début et fin d'année scolaire, à des enseignants d'écoles secondaires publiques francophones de la région de Lanaudière et de Québec. Nous avons procédé à des analyses statistiques longitudinales. Les résultats des régressions multiples (n=98) montrent que les actes d'hostilité à l'endroit des enseignants et la non-préparation des élèves sont associés positivement à l'épuisement professionnel et qu'un haut niveau du sentiment d'autoefficacité joue un rôle modérateur en regard des retards injustifiés de élèves et des actes d'hostilité. Les résultats des analyses qualitatives (n=449) confirment que la gestion de l'indiscipline est l'aspect le plus anxiogène de la profession enseignante et que, plus particulièrement, les actes d'hostilité des élèves à l'endroit des enseignants représentent les événements les plus stressants. La principale contribution de cette recherche se situe au niveau de la compréhension du rôle du sentiment d'autoefficacité des enseignants: un sentiment d'autoefficacité élevé représente un facteur de protection dans la relation entre l'indiscipline scolaire et l'épuisement professionnel.

A formação de professores para a intervenção na e a prevenção da indisciplina

A escolarização obrigatória, a heterogeneidade da população discente, as desigualdades económicas e sociais, geram fenómenos preocupantes de indisciplina e exigem uma constante mudança no exercício da profissão docente, implicando, desde logo, a exigência de atitudes permanentes de questionamento das suas práticas e atualização dos seus saberes. Centrando-se a problemática da indisciplina, numa perspetiva de intervenção e prevenção, este estudo procede a uma identificação da atuação dos professores do 1º, 2º e 3º ciclo do ensino básico de um Agrupamento de Escolas, com o objetivo de perspetivar a forma como a formação contínua poderá vir a responder às necessidades destes professores para intervirem na e prevenirem a indisciplina. E ainda, apresentar algumas estratégias ao nível da prática pedagógica e da relação pedagógica, que em nosso entender, podem contribuir para uma gestão eficaz da sala de aula, que previna a ocorrência da indisciplina. Por outro lado, a análise dos resultados da nossa investigação permitiram constatar que, os professores inquiridos estão predispostos a frequentar ações de formação contínua para conceberem e desenvolverem práticas pedagógicas e relacionais favorecedoras de um clima de aprendizagem.

Time Constraints in the School Environment: What Does a Sleepy Student Tell Us?

In this article, we discuss school schedules and their implications in the context of chronobiological contemporary knowledge, arguing for the need to reconsider time planning in the school setting. We present anecdotal observations regarding chronobiological challenges imposed by the school system throughout different ages and discuss the effects of these schedules in terms of sleepiness and its deleterious consequences on learning, memory, and attention. Different settings (including urban vs. rural habitats) influence timing, which also depends on self-selected sleep schedules. Finally, we criticize the traditional view of a necessary strict stability of sleep-wake habits.

Development of the student placement evaluation form: A tool for assessing student fieldwork performance

Evaluation of students undertaking fieldwork education placements is a critical process in the health professions. As training programs and practice evolve, systems for assessing students need to be reviewed and updated constantly. In 1995, staff of the occupational therapy training program at the University of Queensland, Australia decided to develop a new tool for assessing student fieldwork performance. Using an action research methodology, a team developed the Student Placement Evaluation Form, a flexible and comprehensive criterion-referenced evaluation tool. The present paper examines action research as an appropriate methodology for considering real-life organisational problems in a systematic and participatory manner. The action research cycles undertaken, including preliminary information gathering, tool development, trial stages and current use of the tool, are detailed in the report. Current and future development of the tool is also described.

A simple data logger for student-designed rocket experiments.

The final-year project for Mechanical & Space Engineering students at UQ often involves the design and flight testing of an experiment. This report describes the design and use of a simple data logger that should be suitable for collecting data from the students' flight experiments. The exercise here was taken as far as the construction of a prototype device that is suitable for ground-based testing, say, the static firing of a hybrid rocket motor.

Undergraduate student experiences and perceptions of group projects

This paper reports the experiences and perceptions of student group projects of three cohorts of undergraduates: a 3rd year capstone course in professional communication (N = 54), a 3rd year elective in chemical engineering (N = 29), and a core 2nd-year course in chemical engineering (N = 74).

The Rural Clinical Division: a student journey to rural medicine

Background: The University of Queensland has through an Australian Government initiative, established a Rural Clinical Division (RCD) at four regional sites in the southern and central Queensland. Over the fi rst four years of the existence of the RCD, an integrated package of innovative medical education has been developed. Method: The integrated aspects of the RCD program include: The Rural Medical Rotation: Every medical student undertakes an eight week rural rotation in Year 3. Year 3 and 4 MBBS - 100 students are currently spending one to two years in the rural school and demand is increasing. Interprofessional Education - Medical and Allied Health students attend lectures, seminars and workshops together and often share the same rural clinical placement. Rural health projects - allow students to undertake a project of benefi t to the rural community. Information Technology (IT) - the Clinical Discussion Board (CDB) and Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) demonstrate the importance of IT to medical students in the 21st century. Changing the Model of Medical Education - The Leichhardt Community Attachment Placement (LCAP), is a pilot study that resulted in the addition of three interns to the rural workforce. All aspects of the RCD are evaluated with surveys using both qualitative and quantitative free response questions, completed by all students regularly throughout the academic year. Results: Measures of impact include: Student satisfaction and quality of teaching surveys – 86-91% of students improved their clinical skills and understanding across all rotations. Academic results and progress – RCD students out-perform their urban colleagues. Intent to work in rural areas – 90% of students reported a greater interest in rural medicine. Intern numbers – rural / regional intern placements are increasing. Conclusions: The RCD proves to be a site for innovations all designed to help reach our primary goal of fostering increased recruitment of a rural medical workforce.

The nurse lecturer role in clinical practice conceptualized: helping clinical teachers provide optimal student learning

Despite the fairly wide reporting in the literature of the ma ny roles of clinical supervision by the nursing teacher, little attention has been given to conceptualizing the relative priorities these roles take during the process of supervising nursing students in clinical practice. The purpose of this paper is to consider the manifestations and implications of conflicting roles when nurse lecturers undertake clinical supervision. Previously published research will provide working examples of issues in a conceptual framework for clinical teaching.

Undergraduate student experience in dental service delivery in rural South Australia: An analysis of costs and benefits

Background, Rural experience for dental students can provide valuable clinical education, change attitudes to rural practice, and make a valuable contribution to clinical service provision. The aim of this paper is to assess the costs and benefits of service delivery by students through rural training programmes Methods: Groups of two students worked in the public dental clinics in adjacent rural centres where there had been long-term difficulties in recruiting staff. The costs and benefits of the programme were assessed by the impact on waiting lists, the total cost per patient of, a course of care and by the marginal cost of adding service provision by students to existing arrangements. Results: The total costs of emergency and complete treatment provided by students were greater than the costs of treatment provided by public-sector dentists but less than the costs of private providers treating public patients. However, the value of services were greater when care was provided by students or private providers and the marginal cost of students providing services was 50-70 per cent of the cost of care provided by public dentists. Conclusion: This assessment suggests that the service benefits achieved compliment the primary objective of influencing the attitude of students to rural practice.
