When using their referencing skills, students use three types of knowledge: 1- technical knowledge, such as the use of bibliographic data management software, 2- procedural knowledge, such as problem-solving and 3- attitudinal knowledge, such as self-efficacy. This study explores the link between referencing skills, these knowledges and the number of academic years completed by students. The results of a questionnaire from 810 Quebec students show that those who begin their university studies are less efficient and less confident in their referencing skills and have less technical knowledge with bibliographic data management software than those who have studied for a longer time. All students have procedural knowledge for solving problems when using their referencing skills.

Within the Qafzeh Middle Palaeolithic hominin sample from Lower Galilee, the Qafzeh 25 adult skeletal elements have been severely damaged during fossilization and especially the skull and mandible have been bilaterally compressed. Following advances provided by 3D imaging techniques, in this study we propose a virtual reconstruction of the mandible using computed tomography (CT) scans of the original fossil material. This virtual reconstruction was performed using TIVMI software program and enabled us to provide the first comparative and morphometric analysis of Qafzeh 25 with other Palaeolithic and Epipalaeolithic mandibles from the Mediterranean Levant.

This contribution is aimed at analyzing the digital learning tools developed within the research and development project Linum: Reading, speaking and writing with Children's Literature and digital tools (France, Oct. 2014 - Oct. 2017). Conceived as a didactic and pedagogical prototype for enhancing the study of literary reading at primary school, it also serves research purposes by gathering data on a selection of activities realized by pupils and teachers during the scientific testing of the resource. Linum thus allows an analysis of the developing perspectives of the resource and an accurate description of the actual teaching-learning practices led by its usage. The article explores these two aspects: it illustrates on the one hand how the resource attempted to include in its construction the most recent research in literature teaching and, on the other hand, how teachers have effectively used the platform and its tools in their classes. After having defined the pedagogical and theoretical framework of the project, as well as the technological constraints that have guided the design of the resource, we will describe the platform and its functionalities, here considered as literary teaching devices. Finally, two case studies will exemplify some possible usages, while proving how digital tools can contribute to organize and reveal the effective literary reading practices at school.

Spatialisation du risque lié aux tiques et prévention. Étude systémique d'une représentation sociale
More informationThe health risk related to tick bites is prevalent in all countries, and France is largely concerned by it, especially in the face of Lyme borreliosis. However, few scientific studies are interested in the representations that the population has of this risk and in particular, the way it has to spatialize it. This is why this study is based on a systemic reading of the theory of social representations and more particularly of socio-spatial representations related to the notion of risk. Short semi-structured interviews using free association were mobilized in France in the areas of Clermont-Ferrand and Combrailles (n =143). The results obtained highlight a system articulating several objects of representation with a predominance of health elements in the representation of tick risk around Lyme disease. However, two other worlds of reference make sense in the representation : animals and nature. There is thus a socio-spatial articulation of tick risk that tends to negatively influence the representation of nature and more specifically of the forest. Prevention strategies must therefore focus more on this spatialized dimension of representation by improving local knowledge of risk and taking into account its evolution related to climate change.

In this article, the students' perception of the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in higher education is presented. More specifically, this study describes which pedagogical practices using ICT enhance and which are less conducive to learning, according to 10,266 university students. These students completed a questionnaire and some discussion groups were conducted. The results show that university students perceived that some pedagogical practices, such as using emails, forums and an integrated learning platform, contribute to enhance their learning. However, results also show that some pedagogical practices using ICT are less conducive to learning.

Nancy Gadoury, librarian and archivist at the integrated health and social services Centre of Lanaudière, Québec, presents the steps which led to the communication of photographs conserved through the years by the different entities that make up the Centre. Following an administrative reorganization of the health and social services establishments, a project for managing administrative documents was started; it included, in addition to updating the tools for documentary management and for rearrangement of the offices, the processing and communication of the photography collection. The author gives an overview of the means that were put in place to attain this objective, in the context of limited resources. The collection included over 11,000 photographs, including some that were considered to be at risk of long-term deterioration. The way the work was organized took account of the particular context of the health-care milieu. This had a notable impact on selection criteria as well as on arrangement and description. The team in charge of the project had to consult numerous current and retired employees to be able to index the photographs as precisely as possible. The text show the successes and the challenges encountered throughout the process and offers an overall positive evaluation of the experience, taking account of the evocation potential of images and the different ways they shed light on the health services, which are often perceived negatively by the public.

Based on their personal experiences within the local communities that have rallied against proximity services that Google is attempting to install in many European suburbs, the authors analyze active resistance mechanisms and the role of documentation as a means of political action. This text invites an anthropological understanding of transmission and its current potential for networking technology. Following Habermas, the text highlights the paradox of writing's technologization, in a positivism that drives us towards democracy's paralysis. Anchored in experiences relating to common and resistance writing, this text recursively addresses its hypothesis, as an action-research, that is to say an emancipation of the written via an undoing and an appropriation of writing tool environments (technical, economic, legal), in order to counter their limitations.
