Professional knowledge in teaching develops through constant interaction between theory and practice (Morales Perleza, 2016). This development is imbued with challenges inherent in the education sectors. For college teachers, who are generally poorly prepared to teach, these challenges relate to teacher training, the complexity of the task, and the reality of their students. To support the professional development of eight college teachers, an action-research-training project was coordinated by two researchers, an educational advisor, and a research assistant. The main objective was to identify professional knowledge that was shared and developed within a professionally supported co-development group. The analysis of the data, collected from the summaries of each of the meetings and a focus group, made it possible to highlight the types of professional knowledge most frequently shared by teachers, including those on students, pedagogical, contextual, curricular, collaborative, and human.

The assessment of soft skills assessment is a challenge for teaching teams in higher education, particularly during internships in technical training programs. To adapt to an ever-changing and increasingly demanding job market (Bellier, 2004; Faure, 2023), innovative practices are emerging in the field. However, these practices present various difficulties for teaching teams: defining the concept of soft skills (which is polysemic), understanding the job market’s expectations regarding these skills, and using professional judgement to assess professional competencies by taking soft skills into account. An action-research-training project (Guay et al., 2016) was conducted with a team of six teachers from a college-level program related to the health care sector. Preceded by a training needs analysis (Roussel, 2011), the establishment of a learning community as a support system (Savoie-Zajc, 2010) aimed to put into practice a skills assessment process that considers soft skills and is based on professional judgement (Beauchamp, 2020). This article aims to present a model for documenting soft skills development during internships to support professional judgement regarding the achievement of the expected level of skills development.

This article explores the cinema of the Kendrick brothers, evangelical pastors turned filmmakers. It analyses the fatherhood discourse they incorporate in their filmography. By mobilizing the concept of hegemonic masculinity, this study aims to elucidate the gender theory underlying the Kendrick brothers’ films and to demonstrate how this theory ultimately aligns with the continuity of their pastoral practice. Indeed, this article seeks to show that the role of the Kendrick brothers’ evangelical cinema is rooted in a deliberate intention to use the image as a tool for theological transmission.

Social acceptability of mining projects is a major issue for the extractive industry. The literature considering social acceptability in connection with the mining world discusses a concept called the social licence to operate, as a way to avoid disturbance that could compromise extractive activities. This reductive vision is a transposition in the social world of mining projects establishment dynamics. Moreover, there are definitional and measurement difficulties associated with the notion of social acceptability itself. With the view of being useful to actors involved in real-life situations, we created an index that determines the risk for conflict development between a company and a local community during the first stages of mineral resources development, at the beginning of advanced exploration. It is applicable to the Province of Quebec. The model is based on an analytical description of the main determinants of conflicts, articulated around three structuring poles : affected community-ies, the company promoting the project, and the project itself in its natural environment. A questionnaire is used to qualify the communicational dynamics, and completes the evaluation of a given situation while giving space to perceptions. The identified variables are weighted and combined to get the social risk index. The index can be used by investors, mining companies, communities and governments. It facilitates the identification of aspects that can generate more social risk and the development of a stakeholder's dialogue. This article reflects the interdisciplinary approach adopted for this project.

In Quebec, the creation of a unified family court (UFC) has long been proposed as a solution to several issues relating to access to justice for families. Although UFCs were piloted in the 1970s and maintained in many Canadian provinces, the idea failed to take root in La Belle Province. This article sets out the documented advantages of UFCs for litigants and identifies the reasons why it has not been introduced in Québec.The barriers that litigants face in the current family justice system will be laid out, before making the case for a UFC in light of the experience of other Canadian provinces. An examination of the work undertaken by l'Assemblée nationale regarding the creation of a UFC allows us to identify the obstacles to its realization. The views of the various actors in the field are also analyzed to establish the importance of access to justice. This analysis will show that the debate is focused around federalism and how political barriers continue to hinder reforms relating to access to justice for families.
