AbstractThis article examines socio-cultural and family variables related to school progress of 6-7 year old children in a priority education zone. Measures of the sociofamilial environment include the family's socio-economic level and their educational practices; and for children, the measures examined include self-esteem and external and internal control of reinforcements. The results show that school success, good cognitive selfesteem and good mental health are related; inversely, school difficulties are related to poor cognitive self-esteem and often to mental health problems. It seems that in the most favourable environment one finds a flexible family structure which supports better development.

AbstractThis article distinguishes between two levels in the development of a multimedia interactive pedagogical tool: that related to modalities of interaction and that related to interactive scenarios. The modalities of interaction include concrete and material aspects of the users interaction with the machine; a priori there is no specificity to the learning domain. The interactive scenarios include the pedagogical aspects of a learner s interaction with the teaching content; a priori there is no specificity to the material targetted. The authors illustrate differences between these levels by demonstrating, based on empirical studies, what effect choices made at each level can have on the user-learner's activity; and, based on experiences in developing CD Roms, the authors offer these examples as solutions in developing these tools.

AbstractIn anthropology, structuralism has had a revolutionary effect on the study of myths, making it possible to respect the specificity of the text and to propose interpretations based on a more or less rigorous method. This article notes some of the striking methodological points of different methods that have been called structuralist, particularly those inspired respectively by diachronic linguistics (Dumézil) and by synchronic linguistics (Lévi-Strauss); it proposes the addition of methods that deal on the one hand with the ritual contextualization of myth, on the other with its textual form; and it illustrates these proposals with a discussion of a myth from the Central Himalayas (North India).
