Croissance allométrique et dynamique spatiale

L'étude de la forme et de la croissance des systèmes urbains et régionaux est entravée par la difficulté que les chercheurs éprouvent à résoudre la dichotomie forme-processus. Celle-ci rend confuse la distinction entre systèmes physiques, biologiques et sociaux ; elle rend difficile le passage du langage des attributs à celui des localisations ; et finalement, elle engendre la pauvreté théorique des notions de région homogène et de région polarisée. La théorie de la croissance allométrique offre des possibilités réelles de solution à ces dilemmes. Ses fondements philosophiques structuralistes suggèrent que la forme et la croissance sont respectivement la projection dans l'espace et dans le temps des forces sociales ; et ses fondements méthodologiques systémiques offrent une démarche opératoire permettant d'effectuer la projection. Le paradigme allométrique mène à de nouvelles questions concernant, par exemple, la relation entre disparités sociales et régionales, et la part relative, dans l'Histoire, des effets cycliques et des effets cumulatifs.The study of the form and growth of urban and regional Systems is hindered by the difficulty that researchers have in resolving the form-process dichotomy. This dichotomy blurs the distinction between physical, biological and social Systems ; it also makes difficult the transition from attributional languages to locational languages ; and it is largely responsible for the theoretical shortcomings of such notions as homogeneous and polarized regions. The theory of allometric growth offers solutions to these problems. Its structuralist philosophical foundations suggest that form and growth are respectively the projection in space and time of social forces ; and its systemic methodological foundations offer an operational approach for performing this projection. The allometric paradigm also helps in formulating new questions concerning, for instance, social and regional disparities, and the relative share, in history, of cyclical and cumulative effects

Get a GRIP on Comprehension

Durkin\u27s research (1978-79) has indicated that much more time is spent testing reading comprehension than teaching it. Consequently, all reading comprehension skills need to be taught by the teacher to the students in the classroom. Since making inferences is a necessary comprehension skill when reading across the curriculum (Gordon, 1985), it also must be taught. However, many children find it difficult to make inferences because they are required not only to derive a conclusion from the facts or premises found in their reading materials, but in many cases, they must go beyond the text to their own knowledge and experiences for information. Thus, prior knowledge which student bring to the text, as well as their sensitivity to the text information, are essential aspects of inferential comprehension
