This article examines the extent to and the ways in which the Holocaust is presented in Albanian secondary school history textbooks. It offers a quantitative analysis of the space devoted to the ...Holocaust in proportion to the textbooks' overall content and a qualitative content analysis based on the narrative patterns outlined in the UNESCO report The International Status of Education about the Holocaust: A Global Mapping of Textbooks and Curricula. It demonstrates that Albanian textbooks offer scant coverage of the Holocaust, but that some changes regarding the conceptualization, contextualization, and narrative of the Holocaust have been implemented since the curricular reform of 2004.
One of the important components considered in this research approach is given by the study on teaching-learning strategies, methods and techniques in the lessons aimed at organizing economic ...activities. It is understood that such a topic takes into account, on the one hand, a series of aspects related to an economic issue, and on the other hand, issues of a methodological / didactic nature found in the teaching-learning-assessment activity. At the same time, the approach that is intended to be highlighted reflects the practical-theoretical dimension of such a possible approach in class.Under these conditions, the research approach assumed involves an analysis focused, on the one hand, on the theoretical aspects related to the approached topic, and on the other hand, on the conceptual-theoretical operationalization with practical implications. In other words, there is an interest in valorizing and capitalizing on the contents approached both theoretically and practically. Therefore, it is considered that we will analyze, from a theoretical and pragmatic perspective, the strategies, methods and teaching-learning techniques at the level of economic-themed classes, also revealing the impact it has in the economic-educational dimension.

In the first part, the article presents a series of theoretical aspects about interdisciplinarity, a concept which under the present conditions of the new curriculum for preschool education, requires ...a new approach of mathematical contents and particularly another modality of using didactic strategies. The second part of the article focuses on the presentation of two models of interdisciplinary activities, which are meant to emphasize those methodical aspects, which should be taken into account by the teacher, in approaching mathematical contents and in correlating them by means of the other experiential fields. In the end, the stress is laid on some conclusions regarding the use of interdisciplinarity in approaching mathematical contents at the level of preschool education.
Cette recherche action formation a été conçue pour remotiver des élèves libanais à l’apprentissage des langues de scolarisation au Liban. Elle vise à analyser dans quelle mesure la transgression par ...le recours à l’arabe courant ou le « libanais » ainsi qu’un dispositif qui prend en compte les langues de socialisation avec des élèves de 10 à12 ans a permis à ces derniers de mobiliser en classe des ressources plurilingues insoupçonnées par l’école. Cette démarche qualitative s’appuie sur des entretiens semi-directifs, des questionnaires, des séances filmées et un carnet de bord. Using « Lebanese » Arabic in the classroom (2010-2012) Abstract: This action research explores the use of the ‘Lebanese’ Arabic to motivate Lebanese students to use the languages of instruction in Lebanese schools. It aims to examine how much the use of the colloquial Lebanese Arabic and the languages of socialization with 10 to 12 year old students encourage them to use multilingual resources developed outside the school context in their respective classes. The instruments used to conduct this qualitative study are semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, class videos and notebook diary.

The authors takes as reference other works made by several researchers of Cuban Pedagogy elaborates the theoretical frame making emphasis on professional pedagogical didactics process in technicians training, professional guidance and the guidelines of the suggested didactic approach. To contribute to the problem solution a didactic approach was devised, it comprises three main elements: hints for teaching, set of exercises and recommendations to solve the exercises in class.
Este artículo describe un acercamiento al desarrollo de competencias que puede ayudar a los docentes a explotar el potencial de las tecnologías emergentes (TE) en la elaboración de experiencias de ...aprendizaje multisensorial en las clases de ELE (Foncubierta, 2013a, 2013b, 2013c; Pacansky-Brock, 2013). Se describe en él una experiencia didáctica que se apoyó en principios complementarios de la pedagogía híbrida, la gramática cognitiva y la neuroeducación. Estas dos últimas raramente se han tratado juntas en el contexto de ELE, pero en los últimos años han cobrado creciente importancia (Reyes Llopis García, 2011; Reyes Llopis García et al., 2012; López García, 2004; Mora, 2013). Su confluencia provee una plataforma idónea para la integración de las TE en los nuevos contextos educativos y sus complejas realidades pedagógicas.
Many educators face problems with integrating testing into programming education. For instance: existing courses are already fully packed; testing requires skills that students might not yet have; ...and testing is, although considered important, not always given priority by students. Educators, in general, do not have time to overhaul a programming course to fully integrate testing, resulting in a situation in which the improvement of testing education seems to have slowed down. In this paper, we propose Test Informed Learning with Examples (TILE), a new concept to create test-awareness in introductory programming courses. TILE aims to introduce testing as early as possible and in a subtle way. As a result, integration into existing curricula can be done seamlessly and requires less effort than completely overhauling existing programming courses. The contributions of this paper are: the presentation of TILE; experiences of having applied this method in the classroom; and an open repository with assignments using our approach. Applying TILE seems to be a promising approach to introduce testing in early programming. Moreover, some TILEs can be added to existing courses with almost no effort from day one. More research is needed to gain confidence in the benefits of using TILE over time and to collect evidence that we reached the final aim of TILE, i.e. students that test because that inherently belongs to programming, and not because it is explicitly asked from them.
Bien que située au cœur de l'activité quotidienne de l'enseignant dans sa classe, l'évaluation interne est une forme d'évaluation peu étudiée. La thèse s'intéresse à la partie la plus explicite de ...cette évaluation constituée par l'ensemble des épreuves soumises par chaque enseignant aux élèves à des fins d'évaluation, et qui servent de support aux jugements évaluatifs portés dans les « livrets scolaires ». Plus précisément, nous étudions la validité de cette évaluation selon trois dimensions : une dimension de conformité, permettant d'apprécier comment l'évaluation remplit le cahier des charges institutionnel ; une dimension psycho-didactique, permettant d'apprécier en quoi chacune des épreuves est susceptible - ou non - de remplir les objectifs qui lui sont assignés ; une dimension didactique permettant de juger comment l'ensemble des épreuves assure la couverture conceptuelle des champs disciplinaires concernés. Notre travail est centré sur les évaluations internes conduites aux premier et troisième trimestres par des enseignants de Cours Préparatoire en français et en mathématiques, plus particulièrement dans les sous-domaines à fort enjeu socio-scolaire que constituent la lecture, les nombres et le calcul. Pour étudier la première dimension, nous sommes amené à expliciter les référentiels utilisés par les enseignants pour conduire l'évaluation. Une analyse du lien entre ces référentiels et les livrets scolaires utilisés par les enseignants est entreprise. Elle renseigne sur la conformité de l'évaluation à la demande de l'institution scolaire. Concernant la dimension psycho-didactique, centrale dans notre travail, l'enjeu est de prendre en compte, pour chaque épreuve, les éléments qui auraient pu échapper à l'analyse proprement conceptuelle de la tâche et qui pourraient cependant s'avérer des déterminants majeurs du comportement de réponse des élèves. Cela suppose l'explicitation d'un cadre de référence - celui de l'approche psycho-didactique - qui permette effectivement d'analyser chaque épreuve et le fonctionnement cognitif potentiel des élèves confrontés à ces épreuves. La détermination de référentiels de nature didactique (ou épistémo-didactique) qui permettent d'analyser le contenu des tests utilisés par chaque enseignant constitue la base de l'analyse de la validité au sens de la troisième dimension (validité de couverture du test). La conjugaison des dimensions psycho-didactique et didactique de la validité de l'évaluation permet une double analyse, globale et locale, des tests et des épreuves. La validité d'un test est dépendante de la validité des épreuves qui le constitue. La conclusion la plus saillante est que la validité des épreuves et la validité des tests, dans bien des cas, ne sont pas assurées. Cela conduit à remettre en cause les jugements évaluatifs prononcés suite aux passations de l'évaluation. Ce résultat plaide en faveur d'une analyse de la validité conjuguant approche didactique du contenu des tests et approche psycho-didactique des épreuves composant le test.
Internal assessment is not often studied as a form of assessment although it is the teacher daily school activity. This thesis focuses on the most explicit part of this assessment i.e. all the tasks given to the pupils by their teacher in order to assess them. These tasks are used for evaluative judgment written in the « school report book». More precisely, we study this assessment validity depending on three distinct issues: a conformity issue that allows us to understand how assessing may fulfill the institutional specifications; a psycho-didactics issue that allows us to see how each task is likely to fulfill the assigned goals' or not; a didactics issue that allows us to grasp how the tests may conceptually cover the concerned disciplinary fields. This thesis explores internal assessments in French and Mathematics conducted by 1st grade teachers during the first and third terms. We particularly focus on reading, numeracy and arithmetic that are subfields with high socio-educational stakes. In order to examine the first issue, we explain the reference frameworks used by teachers when giving the test. French school programs are central in this area. We investigate how those reference frameworks and school reports are linked. It shows how assessment conforms to the academic institution. When focusing on our main issue, the psycho-didactic one, we emphasize for each task on the elements that could have been missed by the conceptual analysis of the task but yet could turn out to be key factors in the pupils answering behaviors. It means a new reference framework needs to be accounted for: the psycho-didactic approach brings the analysis tools for each task and for the potential cognitive functioning of the pupils who perform those tasks. In order to construct the validity analysis of the test from our third issue (test cover validity), we point out the didactic (or epistemo-didactic) frameworks that allows us to analyze the content of the tests given by each teacher. In combining the psycho-didactic and didactic approaches of assessment validity, we are able to conduct a double analysis, a global one and a local one, of both tasks and tests. The validity of a test depends on the validity of its tasks. The results mainly show that the tasks validity and the tests validity are often not ensured, which leads to question the value of evaluative judgment following the assessment. This advocates for a validity analysis combining a didactic approach of the test content to a psycho-didactic approach of the tasks.
Souvent considéré comme une pure littérature ludique et enfantine, le conte ne relève pas seulement d'une pratique culturelle ancrée dans les arts et modes de vie, mais d'une modalité pédagogique ...émanant de la dialectique de l'oralité. Bien plus, il semble occuper une place primordiale dans le contexte socio-culturel africain/camerounais et ce, malgré le développement et l'expansion de la « société de l'écriture ». Mais au vu des difficultés auxquelles seraient confrontés certains acteurs de l’éducation (enseignants, conteurs, élèves) à transmettre cet art de la parole, ne serait-il pas temps de découvrir la manière et la pédagogie avec lesquelles le conte peut permettre aux élèves de déployer des compétences orales? Comment initier les apprenants à une pratique artistique du conte qui différencie l'action de lire à celle de conter oralement? Partant de différents niveaux de médiation, les pistes de ce travail explorent l'approche pédagogique de l'oralité et proposent des activités langagières dans trois collèges au Cameroun. Nos résultats (dé)montrent qu’à défaut de perpétuer et de renforcer la culture de l'oralité, le conte oral développe et contribue à la valorisation des compétences narratives chez les apprenants. La visée de la présente étude est, d’une part d’intégrer le conte comme un moyen propice au langage et un vecteur d'identité interculturelle, et d’autre part de renouveler les approches et perspectives, tant dans l'enseignement de l’oral que dans l’ingénierie pédagogique.
Often considered as a linguistic and narrative process reserved to children, tale's approach can not be overlooked in Cameroonian socio-cutural and anthropological context. Even though, nowadays, there is an evident development and the expasion of a rampant writing culture. In fact, in oral tradition, tale occupies an essential place in the learning process. But, then, how, and with what specific pedagogy, the tale can be hepful for pupils in their curriculum as far as learning is concerned ? Since, each tale is mainly given orally, how can it be proposed to learners who are of a different cultural background, namely, a writing culture ? In this work, taking into consideration didactic approach of educational actors, our main purpose is to establish that the pedagogic dimension of tale does not rely only on its artistic relevance but has a primordial role in oral tradition. Consequently our results first of all show that trough this cultural chanel, that is, tale, is an efficient instrument for a reliable communication in oral tradition; tale is a bridge in cultural transmission. Secondly, by using tale's approach, learners are better equiped in their narrative skills. Therefore, the present work puts accross the importance of tales in oral tradition speciffically and in a writing culture as well. Indeed tale is a valuable pedadogic agent. As our research work try to show, tale can no longer be considered as a pure playful and childish literature, but an indispensable vector of intercultural identity in Cameroonian context. Taking into account various levels of mediation, the present work proposes concrete linguistic activities, not from the tales gathered in various textbooks of the official schools' curricula, but from a new directory which may enable eventual users to explore the didactic approach yet to be discovered in tale's wisdom.
