The rise in popularity of the maker movement in schools is evident around the globe, yet research, particularly in French, is still in early stages. This article provides a scoping review of maker projects in grades four through eight classrooms in elementary schools from around the globe, aiming to uncover their implementation, materials used, and outcomes on students and teachers. From 1900 initial studies, 68 scientific articles were analyzed. This article outlines the three stages of maker projects: 1) inspiration and preparation, 2) implementation and realization, and 3) presentation and recontextualization, while highlighting an equal mix of digital and physical tools within the selected papers. It also discusses the impact on students across affective, social, disciplinary, and metacognitive dimensions, as well as on teachers, including pedagogical, affective, and social outcomes. Examples of disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary maker projects are highlighted, showcasing the broad scope and potential of maker education. These findings are essential for strengthening teacher education with research-informed best practices for designing and integrating maker projects in classrooms.

This article describes the Awikhiganisaskak project, a collaboration between the Abenaki nation, one of the eleven Aboriginal nations of Quebec, and a number of researchers associated with the Université de Sherbrooke. Intended as an initiative to enhance the documentation of Aboriginal languages and cultures, the first phase of the project focused on the Abenaki language, a member of the Algonquian linguistic family. Faced with the rapid decline of native languages over the course of the 20th century, Abenaki being no exception, various preservation initiatives have been attempted by the nation, mainly through the teaching of the language. The project presented here focuses on the collection and processing of written and oral documentation related to the language. Two examples of the work carried out by the Awikhiganisaskak project are discussed in the article: firstly, the study of the translation into French-Abenaki of an English-Abenaki work entitled New Familiar Abenakis and English Dialogues, by Joseph Laurent (1884) and the creation of an audio recording of the work read by speakers of the language; secondly, the study of the transcription, translation into English and oral recording of Joseph Aubéry's French-Abenaki dictionary (1715) by Étienne (Stephen) Laurent, son of Joseph Laurent. Finally, one of the project's research interests focuses on translation from and into native languages, and attempts to document the many facets of the phenomenon.

The Conseil de la justice administrative [CJA] is a distinct oversight body responsible for investigating complaints of deontological breaches committed by members of administrative tribunals in Quebec that wield quasi-judicial powers. In our examination of the CJA’s decisions, we consider it to be a crucial accountability mechanism within the Quebec administrative justice system. Our analysis focuses on identifying the complainants, the nature of their complaints, the tribunals they target, the outcomes of these complaints, and the CJA’s approach to handling them. We found that over 73 percent of the investigated complaints are filed by citizens who allege disrespectful conduct and delays in tribunal decision-making. A significant portion of investigated complaints – nearly 60 percent – are directed at judges from the Tribunal administratif du logement [TAL], the agency responsible for the largest caseload in the province. Of the complaints investigated, around 28 percent were found to involve misconduct, with the CJA recommending sanctions in over 70 percent of substantiated cases. Our analysis reveals that the CJA adopts inquisitorial and restorative approaches in handling complaints rather than an adversarial one. This strategy is focused on remedying harm, ensuring accountability, and restoring public confidence rather than solely imposing punitive measures. Our study contributes to the expanding literature on citizen complaints against public officials by providing an exploratory analysis of the oversight of Quebec’s administrative judges and the handling of complaints against them.
