Structuring Conversations Around Course Design
Constructive alignment helps both students and teachers to achieve intended learning outcomes. The workshop proposes to introduce participants to the elements and mechanics of the pedagogical coherence canvas (PCC), a tool developed to improve constructive alignment throughout course design. Participants will familiarise themselves with the process by applying it to the design of a course or training. This hands-on workshop will help participants to develop a practical understanding of how to use the PCC to design a course following constructive alignment principles
Socio-Demographic Determinants of Diarrhoeal Diseases among Under Five Years Old Children in Rwanda
Background
Diarrhoeal disease is a worldwide public health issue and remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity in children under five years old. Low and middle income countries (LMIC) of Africa and part of Asia are more affected by diarrhoeal diseases.
Objectives
To measure the prevalence of Diarrhoeal Diseases and to assess Socio-demographic determinants among Under Five Years Old Children in Rwanda.
Methods
A cross-sectional design was used. Secondary data analysis was carried out on a sample of 7474 drawn from Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS). RDHS used multistage sampling technique.
Results
After running multiple logistic regression, Sociodemographic determinants associated with diarrhoeal included age of children, wealth index category, mother education, husband/partner education, types of place of residence (P-Value<0.05).
Conclusion
The results of the study showed that diarrhoeal remains an important health issue in Rwanda. Occurrence of diarrhoeal was statistically associated with child age, wealth index, education of parents, types of place of residence.

La prĂ©sente communication a pour objectif dâapprofondir cette problĂ©matique au travers dâune rĂ©flexion sur la sĂ©lection de participants Ă un voyage dâĂ©tudes de courte durĂ©e dans un marchĂ© Ă©mergent
Les valeurs dâun dispositif de VAE : le cas de lâUniversitĂ© de Lausanne
RĂ©cemment, des dispositifs de Validation des Acquis de lâExpĂ©rience (ci-aprĂšs « VAE ») se dĂ©veloppent en Suisse au niveau acadĂ©mique. La VAE consiste Ă Ă©valuer â donc Ă©tymologiquement attribuer de la valeur Ă â les acquis de lâexpĂ©rience non formelle et informelle, ainsi quâĂ dĂ©terminer leurs convergences avec des acquis acadĂ©miques formels. Si de nombreuses personnes sâaccordent sur ces quelques valeurs portĂ©es par la VAE, certaines tensions peuvent apparaĂźtre autour de ce dispositif
Pyrethrum marc rates and intra-row spacing influence on selected soil chemical parameters and yield of bush bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) grown on andosol under rainfed conditions
Bush bean is an important pulse crop that enriches the Rwandan diet and is a source of cash. This staple crop is widely grown in Rwanda. However, the improper spacing and inadequate application rates of organic inputs result in low yields. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of intra-row-spacing and pymarc application rate on selected soil chemical parameters and bush bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L) yield on andosol under rainfed conditions. The experiment included five pymarc rates with four replications in a randomized complete block design: P0(No fertilizer), P1(250 kg ha-1 of NPK), P2(10 t ha-1 of pymarc + 250 Kg ha-1 of NPK), P3(15 t ha-1 of pymarc + 250 Kg ha-1 of NPK) and P4(20 t ha-1 of pymarc + 250 Kg ha-1 of NPK) and 3 spacing levels: S1(40 cm x 15 cm), S2(40 cm x 20 cm) and S3(40 cm x 30 cm). The results indicated that a significant difference was found between treatments and their interactions except for pH (p<0.05). Regarding pymarc treatments, P4 contained greater amounts of organic C(5.30 %), total N(0.30 %), available P(56.70 ppm), available K(81.30 mg dm-3), exchangeable Ca(12.61 Cmol Kg-1) and Mg(5.0 Cmol Kg-1) at harvesting compared to P0 and P1. According to plant spacing, S3 held higher amounts of OC(4.85 %), av. P(55.15 %), av. K(60.94 mg dm-3), exch. Ca(11.0 Cmol Kg-1) and exch. Mg(3.6 Cmol Kg-1) than S1. There was an interaction effect of pymarc and spacing on measured soil chemical properties except for soil pH. The correlation analysis between nutrients was positive, highly significant (p<0.01), and varied from moderate to strong (0.4<r<0.7 and r>0.7) except pH. The treatment with the highest bush bean yield was P2S1 with 3.03 t ha-1 and therefore it can be recommended to bush bean farmers of the volcanic highland region
Visualizing constructive alignment in the process of course design
[EN] Course design in higher education is often approached in a very linear and text-based manner. The paper presents a visual tool in the form of a canvas aimed at accompanying teachers in the design of courses. The canvas can be used in an individual or co-teaching setting. It can be applied either during the conception phase of a new course or to revisit and reflect an existing course.The visual dimension departs from the usual text-based format and ambitions to offer a practical and intuitive approach. It aims at engaging teachers to adopt a prototyping approach in the design of courses. It builds on the various visual modeling tools offered in the fields of business and strategy.The proposed canvas is part of a broader project accompanying higher education teachers in the clarification of their pedagogical intent, in ensuring constructive alignment and in the adoption of a reflexive posture on their teaching experiences.Laperrouza, M.; LanarĂšs, J.; Sylvestre, E.

Un outil de dĂ©veloppement professionnel des conseillers pĂ©dagogiques dans lâenseignement supĂ©rieur : le rĂ©seau PENSERA
Le nombre de personnes ayant une fonction de « conseiller pĂ©dagogique » dans lâenseignement supĂ©rieur en France est en augmentation notable, et la trĂšs grande majoritĂ© dâentre eux dĂ©marre dans cette mission. Cette fonction nâĂ©tant validĂ©e par aucun diplĂŽme en France, se pose naturellement la question de la formation associĂ©e. A ce titre, lâexpĂ©rience vĂ©cue en RhĂŽne-Alpes (France) peut servir dâexemple. Nous avons formĂ© un rĂ©seau dâĂ©changes et de mutualisation entre les services pĂ©dagogiques de trois Ă©tablissements dâenseignement supĂ©rieur de la rĂ©gion RhĂŽne-Alpes : lâUniversitĂ© Claude Bernard (Lyon-1), lâUniversitĂ© Joseph Fourier (Grenoble-1) et Grenoble-INP. Les 8 conseillers pĂ©dagogiques de ces Ă©tablissements se sont engagĂ©s dans une dynamique dâĂ©changes basĂ©e sur des rencontres mensuelles dâune journĂ©e, et complĂ©tĂ©es par des sessions communes avec le rĂ©seau « initiateur » de suisse romande. Ces rencontres sont lâoccasion de favoriser lâenrichissement mutuel : outre le fait dâĂȘtre mieux armĂ©s autour des questions liĂ©es Ă lâaccompagnement des enseignants ou des institutions, cela permet aussi de partager des formats ou des contenus jugĂ©s pertinents. La philosophie de ces Ă©changes est le transfert de compĂ©tences, avec comme principe dâenvisager la co-animation dâateliers de formation entre un membre de lâinstitution « dâaccueil » et un membre de lâinstitution « exportatrice ». De ce fait, cette collaboration est un rĂ©el outil de dĂ©veloppement professionnel des conseillers pĂ©dagogiques qui y participent. Le fonctionnement en rĂ©seau qui fait lâobjet de cette communication se place en complĂ©ment dâune rĂ©flexion locale, souvent interne Ă chaque institution, et dâune rĂ©flexion plus globale, dĂ©veloppĂ©e au sein des rĂ©seaux nationaux et internationaux. LâĂ©mulation ainsi gĂ©nĂ©rĂ©e offre des opportunitĂ©s pour atteindre la masse critique nĂ©cessaire Ă lâorganisation dâĂ©vĂ©nements importants : la tenue en RhĂŽne-Alpes Ă lâautomne 2009 dâun colloque rĂ©unissant les conseillers pĂ©dagogiques de lâenseignement supĂ©rieur francophone (le « BSQF » pour Belgique-Suisse-QuĂ©bec-France) en est une belle illustration

Small Scale Fisheries Analysis in A Sustainable Development Perspective
An international symposium devoted to Research and small-scale fisheries (Durand, Lemoalle, Weber,
1991) in Montpellier (France) in 1989 came from increasing evidence that âthe complexity of small scale
fisheries calls for applying knowledge from many fields in combined studies that can take advantage of a
whole range of informationâ. Has this assessment changed twenty years later? The references to
sustainable development and to socio and bio-ecological diversities have highlighted the relationships
between small-scale fisheries and natural, economic, social, cultural, and institutional aspects. In this
paper we exemplify such interactions in different small-scale fisheries contexts in relation with poverty
and food security issues. We question the consequences of different types of fleet dynamics in terms of
adaptability, vulnerability and resilience of harvested ecosystems, and the impacts of the regulation
systems on fishing communities. More generally, we question the paradigm of sustainable self-regulated
small-scale fisheries. Finally, with references to several worldwide case studies and ecosystems we
provide a description of the diversity of small scale fisheries, of the frameworks used to represent them,
and of associated sets of relevant indicators used in monitoring and management programs. This
presentation may be a first step toward a revisited pluri-disciplinary research framework for small-scale
fisheries. This could be based on a research network built in order to produce and mobilize knowledge
from a more comprehensive set of small-scale fisheries case studies.Keywords: Small Scale Fisheries, Fisheries Economics, Fish and Aquaculture Sectors Developmen
