L’utilisation des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) en contexte éducatif est un enjeu important pour les enseignants du préscolaire-primaire et du secondaire au Québec. Dans cette recherche, nous avons examiné dans quelle mesure la maitrise d’outils numériques peut prédire des usages pédagogiques déclarés. Nous avons également étudié la relation prédictive entre le niveau déclaré de maitrise des outils numériques par les enseignants et leur compétence professionnelle à intégrer les TIC. Les régressions montrent que la maitrise du tableau numérique interactif prédit positivement des usages pédagogiques du numérique et une bonne maitrise de la compétence à intégrer les TIC.The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) is an important issue for many preschool, elementary, and secondary school teachers in Québec. In this study, we examined to what extent the mastery of digital tools can predict reported pedagogical usage. Also, we used the level of mastery of digital tools by teachers as a variable to assess the predictive impact of the components of professional competence on the integration of ICT. The results of the regression indicate that the mastery of the interactive whiteboard positively predicts the pedagogical use of ICTs as well as a good mastery of the integration of ICTs.
Disparity of verbal and performance intelligence (VIQ, PIQ) on the Wechsler scales of intelligence is a conceptually cluttered and empirically weak measure of hemispheric specialization (HS). However, in the context of life span research, it is the only measure that can be exploited meta-analytically with the lesion method from prenatal life to late senescence. We assembled 1917 cases with a unilateral cortical focal brain lesion occurring at all ages and a post-lesion VIQ and PIQ. Lesion locus, volume and side were documented for each case, as well as age at lesion onset, age at first symptoms and age at the IQ test, presence/absence of epilepsy, lesion aetiology, gender, date of publication or of transfer of medical file. With and without covariate adjustment, HS was significant across the life span though its pattern changed. HS increased linearly and highly significantly until late senescence. Only in early adulthood did VIQ appear to vacate the right temporal lobe and occupy the left and PIQ vacate the left parietal lobe and occupy the right until late senescence. Biomaturational factors are more important in the ontogeny of material-specific HS over the whole life span than previously established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
