Une adaptation, pour le Canada francophone, des règles de publication de l’APA : typographie et présentation des références

Cet article a pour objectif de proposer une adaptation, pour le Canada francophone, des règles de publication de l’APA au regard de la typographie ainsi que des règles de présentation des références. Cette adaptation s’inspire des pratiques de rédaction en langue française adoptées au cours des dernières années par différents organismes et instances, ou soutenues par différents standards. Les choix effectués sont justifiés et des exemples de présentation des références, aussi bien à l’intérieur du texte qu’à la section des références, permettent d’illustrer ces choix. De plus, ces exemples montrent comment effectuer la présentation des références dans une langue autre que le français.The objective of this article is to propose a French-Canadian adaptation of APA’s publication rules. More specifically, typography and presentation of references are of concern here. The adaptation draws its inspiration from French edition practices adopted by different organisms and associations or from support by different standards. Choices are justified and examples of reference presentation, within the text and in the reference section, illustrate these choices. Also, these examples show how to present references in a language other than French.El objetivo del presente artículo es proponer una adaptación franco-canadiense de las reglas de publicación de la APA en cuanto a la tipografía así como de las reglas de presentación de las referencias.

The Internet Implementation of the Hierarchical Aggregate Assessment Process with the “Cluster” Wi-Fi E-Learning and EAssessment Application — A Particular Case of Teamwork Assessment

A Wi-Fi e-learning and e-assessment Internet application named “Cluster” was developed in the context of a research project concerning the implementation of a teamwork assessment mobile application able to assess teams with several levels of hierarchy. Usually, teamwork assessment software and Internet applications for several hierarchy level teams are included in the field of Management Information Systems (MIS). However, some assessment tasks in teams with several levels of hierarchy and assessment may be performed in an educational context, and the existing applications for the assessment and evaluation of teams with several levels of hierarchy are not applications dedicated to the assessment of students in an educational context. The “Cluster” application is able to present the course material, to train the students in teams as well as to present individual and team assessment tasks. The application’s special functionalities enable it to assess the teams at several levels of hierarchy, which constitute the hierarchical aggregate assessment process. In effect, the members of the teams may have appointments of team member, team leader and team administrator that supervises team leaders. This application can therefore evaluate simultaneously different knowledge and skills in the same assessment task based on the hierarchical position of the team member. The summative evaluation of the application consists of work to submit as well as objective examinations in HTML format, while the formative evaluation is composed of assessment grid computer forms of self-assessment and peer assessment. The application contains two mutually exclusive modes, the assessor mode and the student mode. The assessor mode allows the teacher to create courses, manage students, form the teams and also assess the students and the teams in a summative manner. The student mode allows the students to follow courses, write exams, submit homework, perform in teams and submit self- and peers formative assessment. The theoretical consideration of the project establishes the link between hierarchical aggregate assessment applications and management information systems (MIS). The application is an electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) management system in the competency-based learning and an Internet test administration system in the mastery learning approach. The aim of the chapter is to introduce the reader to the field of hierarchical aggregate assessment and to show how to implement complex assessment tasks with several levels of hierarchy into an Internet software application

Une approche intégrée de la modélisation scientifique assistée par l’ordinateur

Cet article présente les considérations théoriques, didactiques et technologiques qui nous ont amené à entreprendre une recherche relative au développement d’un environnement informatisé d’apprentissage de la modélisation scientifi que combinant un système d’expérimentation assistée par ordinateur et un système de simulation assistée par ordinateur. La fonctionnalité la plus originale de cet environnement permet de comparer une simulation animée et une séquence vidéo au moyen de la superposition directe des images. Les principaux résultats de cette recherche concernent l’utilisation de l’environnement développé dans le contexte de la formation à la mécanique classique au niveau de l’enseignement supérieur, et la possibilité de modélisation automatique des cheminements d’apprentissage des étudiants. Les propriétés de ce nouveau genre de logiciel, mises en évidence par notre recherche, mériteraient d’être étudiées plus en profondeur, surtout en ce qui concerne la rapidité d’apprentissage de la modélisation, l’enrichissement du raisonnement de l’étudiant et les sollicitations entre induction et déduction

Evaluating psychometric properties of the Emotional Eating Scale Adapted for Children and Adolescents (EES-C) in a clinical sample of children seeking treatment for obesity: a case for the unidimensional model.

BackgroundThe Emotional Eating Scale - Adapted for Children and Adolescents (EES-C) assesses children's urge to eat in response to experiences of negative affect. Prior psychometric studies have demonstrated the high reliability, concurrent validity, and test-retest reliability of theoretically defined subconstructs among non-clinical samples of children and adolescents who were primarily healthy weight; however, no psychometric studies exist investigating the EES-C among clinical samples of children with overweight/obesity (OW/OB). Furthermore, studies conducted in different contexts have suggested a discordant number of subconstructs of emotions related to eating. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of the EES-C in a clinical sample of children seeking weight-loss treatment.MethodUsing a hierarchical bi-factor approach, we evaluated the validity of the EES-C to measure a single general construct, a set of two separate correlated subconstructs, or a hierarchical arrangement of two constructs, and determined reliability in a clinical sample of treatment-seeking children with OW/OB aged 8-12 years (N = 147, mean age = 10.4 years.; mean BMI z = 2.0; female = 66%; Hispanic = 32%, White and other = 68%).ResultsComparison of factor-extraction methods suggested a single primary construct underlying EES-C in this clinical sample. The bi-factor indices provided clear evidence that most of the reliable variance in the total score (90.8 for bi-factor model with three grouping factors and 95.2 for bi-factor model with five grouping factors) was attributed to the general construct. After adjusting for relationships with the primary construct, remaining correlations among sets of items did not suggest additional reliable constructs.ConclusionResults suggest that the primary interpretive emphasis of the EES-C among treatment-seeking children with overweight or obesity should be placed on a single general construct, not on the 3- or 5- subconstructs as was previously suggested
