Apprentissage intuitif des couleurs à l’aide de la visualisation pictographique simultanée

L’obiettivo dell’articolo è di spiegare l’apprendimento intuitivo dell’accordo degli aggettivi tramite la visualizzazione grafica simultanea e l’uso di metafore e basandoci su un approcchio sensibile e diretto. Un simile approccio permette di affrontare nozioni astratte come la riflessione sulla lingua (grammatica). Presenteremo un un primo tempo come i colori vengano introdotti ai principianti della scuola primaria. In seguito mostreremo come sia facile trasmettere la struttura linguistica dell’accordo degli aggettivi designanti i colori all’interno del gruppo nominale grazie ad una tabella e ad una metafora propria del metodo Carta-Parola-Disegno.The aim of this article is to explain how the agreement of adjectives can be learned intuitively thanks to the simultaneous pictographic method and to metaphors, by using a sensitive and direct approach. Such an approach permits broaching abstract notions such as thinking about language (grammar). We will first present the ways colors are introduced in a complete beginners’ class. We will next demonstrate how simple it is to transmit the linguistic structure of the agreement of color adjectives in the noun phrase, thanks to a metaphor taken from the Map-Word-Drawing method

Spatiotemporal changes in surface sediment characteristics and benthic macrofauna composition off the Rhône River in relation to its hydrological regime

International audienceThe consequences of changes in the water flow of the Rhône River on surface sediment characteristics and benthic macrofauna composition were assessed within 3 distinct areas: (1) the delta front, (2) the prodelta, and (3) the distal zone. Five stations were sampled during or closely after: (1) an oceanic flood (April 2007), (2) a generalized flood (May 2008), (3) a Cevenol flood (December 2008), and (4) a dry period (July 2011). Measurements of sediment characteristics included granulometry (D0.5), bulk descriptors of sedimentary organics (OC, TN and THAA), descriptors of labile components of sedimentary organics (chloropigments, EHAA), and both descriptors of origin (Chl-b/Chl-a, C/N) and lability (Chl-a/(Chl-a+Phaeo-a), EHAA/THAA) of sedimentary organics. Sediment Profile Images were collected during April 2007, May 2008 and July 2011. Temporal changes in both sedimentary organics and benthic macrofauna were more important in the delta front and the prodelta than in the distal zone. Bulk characteristics of sedimentary organics presented decreasing inshore/offshore gradients during both April 2007 and July 2011 but not during May and December 2008. There were significant temporal changes in EHAA/THAA at all stations. Changes in benthic macrofauna composition differed between: (1) the delta front and the prodelta, and (2) the distal zone. In the former area, the dry period was associated with establishing a mature community characterized by high abundances and species richness. The best description of spatiotemporal changes in benthic macrofauna composition by surface sediment characteristics was obtained using D0.5, Chl-b/Chl-a, Chl-a/(Chl-a+Phaeo-a) and EHAA, which supports the role of the quality of sedimentary organics in controlling benthic macrofauna composition

L'activité du manager en univers complexe : une approche par les rôles

International audienceUn ouvrage de réflexion sur un thème actuel, des pistes d'action pour les managers ou les futurs leaders. Plusieurs chercheurs se sont mobilisés en 2011 en créant un groupe de recherche au sein de l'Association francophone de gestion des ressources humaines (AGRH) pour impulser une dynamique de réflexion sur les différentes théories du leadership actuellement existantes et plus largement, pour proposer de nouvelles pistes de réflexion pour les chercheurs et les praticiens. Quels sont les théories et modèles émergents ? Quels sont les concepts et les outils mobilisables pour développer le leadership (coaching) ? Peut-on partager les expériences et les " bonnes pratiques " ? Peut-on questionner les liens entre la fonction RH et le leadership, leadership et genres ? Quelles sont les caractéristiques et les valeurs des leaders ? Cet ouvrage publié dans la collection " Recherche AGRH " réunit douze contributions d'une vingtaine d'auteurs français souhaitant approfondir les approches contemporaines du concept de leadership et nourrit la réflexion sur les pratiques de leadership émergentes dans les entreprises et les organisations. Le livre est le résultat de nombreuses recherches et d'accompagnements d'entreprises et d'organisations sur le thème du leadership. Il s'appuie sur une construction rigoureuse sur le plan scientifique en combinant théorie et pratique. Au-delà des apports conceptuels, l'ouvrage propose des outils d'action pour les managers ou futurs leaders. L'ouvrage s'adresse à des enseignants-chercheurs, doctorants, DBA, professionnels, DRH, managers expérimentés, responsables de service, consultants, stagiaires de la formation continue, étudiants en gestion et management… Il concerne prioritairement les managers soucieux de mieux comprendre les dynamiques de délégation et désireux de faire évoluer leur organisation

Les barrières à l’adoption d’une innovation managériale au niveau du territoire. Le cas d’une GPEC territoriale au sein de la fonction publique

International audienceThe aim of this article is to identify the barriers to the adoption of a managerial innovation (MI)on the level of a territory of public authorities, through the case study of a territorial plannedHRM instrumentation. To do so, we mobilize and combine the literature concerning the barriersto innovation, proximity economics and territorial HRM plans. This leads us to propose anenhanced and expanded typology of IM barriers including dimensions of proximity(geographical, institutional and organizational) and governance.L’objectif de cet article est d’identifier les barrières à l’adoption d’une innovation managériale(IM) à l’échelle d’un territoire de collectivités publiques, au travers de l’étude de cas d’uneGPEC territoriale initiée en Haute-Savoie. Pour ce faire, nous mobilisons et combinons leslittératures consacrées aux barrières à l’innovation, à l’économie de la proximité et auxdispositifs de GRH territoriale. Cela nous conduit à proposer une typologie des barrières à l’IMnotamment enrichie des dimensions relatives aux trois proximités (géographique,institutionnelle et organisationnelle) et à la gouvernance

Hybridisation of human resources management practices: the case of local government in France

International audienceThe dissemination of New Public Management principles is transforming human resources management practices in the public sector. The transformations that have taken place follow four logics: the logics of formalisation, contractualisation, individualisation and politicisation. The article examines the consequences of the interplay of these logics on the hybridisation of human resources management practices. To this end, two complementary methodologies were used: a quantitative methodology based on a survey of 223 local authorities within a French department; and a qualitative methodology based on interviews conducted with 25 of these authorities. The results show that these logics coexist, raising questions about the micro-negotiations that allow this coexistence. Points for practitioners Human resources management practices in public organisations are the composite outcome of a set of different, even contradictory, logics: the logics of individualisation, contractualisation, formalisation and politicisation. There is no common shift towards a single new human resources management model within French local authorities. Thefact that these logics are always present in different combinations is explained mainly by the internal dynamics between the stakeholders (elected officials, human resources professionals, management, etc.)
