Le processus décisionnel sous-jacent à la rétroaction corrective des enseignants de français langue seconde à l'oral

The aim of this qualitative study is to describe and understand the underlying decision-making process in the oral corrective feedback of a second language teacher. More specifically, this study describes the main factors which influence the decision to proceed to a corrective feedback as well as those which underlie the choice of a specific feedback technique. Three teachers of French as a second language, with adult immigrants in Canada, participated in this research. Entire teaching sequences were filmed and then presented to participants who commented on their practices. The comments were made in the form of a stimulated recall and an interview. These constitute the data of this research. Results revealed that the corrective feedback and the choice of the technique were influenced by factors related to the error, to the learner, to the curriculum, to the teacher and to the characteristics of corrective feedback techniques. They also revealed that the learner is at the center of the retroactive decision making of the second language teachers. Indeed, participants said that they want to adapt to the learner’s cognitive functioning, to his emotional state, to his language level and to the recurrence of his mistakes. The goal of this study is to contribute to the initial and continuous training of L2 teachers. For this purpose, pedagogical implications were proposed and recommendations were made specifically to notify the L2 teachers about the results of the research regarding the efficiency of the techniques of corrective feedback, particularly those ones which take into account the characteristics of the learners.

La datation du site Mailhot-Curran : application de la luminescence optique sur des poteries iroquoiennes du Saint-Laurent

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) has been measured on 17 ceramic sherds collected at the Mailhot-Curran site (BgFn-2), a Late Woodland archaeological site located in south west Quebec. The main goal of this project was to date the youngest prehistoric village found in the Saint Anicet cluster to establish its position in the chronological framework of the area. OSL was used conjointly with radiocarbon dating (14C) and seriation of the archaeological remains. The archaeological hypothesis proposes an occupation of this village between 1518 and 1530 A.D. (Chapdelaine 2015a). The luminescence results we present in this master’s thesis are in agreement with this proposal : we obtained an age of 490 ± 49, which corresponds to A.D. 1523 with the probability of occupation at the Mailhot-Curran site between A.D. 1474 and 1572. The luminescence dating program was carried out on local ceramics composed of fired late Quaternary Champlain Sea clays. IRSL (infrared stimulated luminescence) was preferentially used on polymineral fine-grains aliquots. A modified SAR-IRSL protocol including optical bleaching was used to measure the equivalent doses (Murray and Wintle 2000, Lamothe et al. 2004). G values were measured following the protocol proposed by Auclair et al. (2003). The Huntley-Lamothe correction for anomalous fading (Huntley and Lamothe 2001) was used to adjust the equivalent dose. Annual doses were assessed by in situ and laboratory measurements.  The results we present here are affected by a large range in the dates. This variability was taken into account by statistical methods in the determination of the age of the Mailhot-Curran site occupation.

Le fait littéraire au temps du numérique. Pour une ontologie de l’imaginaire

Often considered a vector for major change, digital practices represent an opportunity through which to better understand literature and literary space by revealing, more explicitly than ever before, ontological elements that have, as such, timeless value. In particular, and as is the focus of this article, digital creation offers an opportunity to revive a debate that has persisted throughout the history of thought on the status of literature dating back to Plato and Aristotle : that of the relationship between literature and reality, the opposition of which Sartre and Derrida had already sought to deconstruct during the 20th century. We find that digital space highlights the absence of separation between symbolic and non-symbolic, thereby preventing us from considering a break between imaginary and reality. To address this structure, we turn to the concept of editorialization, which refers to the set of devices that allow for content production in digital space while accounting for the fusion of digital and non-digital spaces. Through literary examples – Traques Traces by Cécile Portier and Laisse venir by Anne Savelli and Pierre Ménard – we will demonstrate how literature today participates in editorializing the world, therefore definitively burying the imaginary-reality binary in favour of an anamorphic structure.

Developmental, relational and situational characteristics of maritally abusive men

Domestic violence in all its forms is a widespread phenomenon that affects all layers of society. Only as early as the 1980's that sexual offenses perpetrated by a spouse became liable to prosecution on a criminal level, however such offenses remain underreported given the nature of the victim-aggressor relationship. The majority of research available on marital rape is based on victims’ reports of domestic violence. Current scientific literature reveals that sexual violence in a domestic context has a repetitive nature and often co-occurs with other forms of violence. Moreover, research indicates that proximity between the victim and the perpetrator increases the likelihood of sexual offense’s severity. In order to expand our knowledge on the characteristics of marital rapists themselves, an 80- day internship was put forth at the Maisonneuve Community Agency, a provincial community surveillance facility that provides services to adult male offenders subjected to measures of probation, parole or house arrest, referred by the Correctional Services of Quebec. In addition, a critical analysis of the characteristics of marital rapists was conducted through a systematic literature review. The main goals are to determine the context in which sexual violence occurs in a marriage, we also present the theories and typologies present in the scientific literature. Subsequently, we explore the risk factors and the most effective means of intervention for this type of offender. Our results demonstrated that marital rape is likely to occur in relationships that are violent in other ways, as it subscribes to a context of dominance and control. Marital rapists are likely to use sex is utilitarian ways, in accordance to their cultural, religious or psychopathological perceptions. In terms of treatment, both scientific research and court- mandated programs by the Correctional Services of Quebec recommend therapies that ascribe to psychoeducational and cognitive-behavioral approaches, preferably in a group setting.

Les différences dans les tactiques de «grooming» entre les agresseurs sexuels d’enfants intrafamiliaux et extrafamiliaux

Object : Sexual aggression is an issue that gathers much attention in the scientific literature. Within this context, it is well established sexual crimes against children include intrafamilial and extrafamilial offenses. Further distinctions can also be found within the process of grooming – a process designed to obtain victims. The object of this study was to investigate the differences that exist in the grooming process between intrafamilial and extrafamilial sexual offending. These distinctions will help improve interventions designed to reduce the likelihood of future sexual offending. Method : Case studies were conducted within the framework of a clinical internship in the Correctional Service Canada. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four men who had committed sexual offenses against children or teenagers. Results: The findings identified a number of distinctions between intrafamilial and extrafamilial offenders in their process of grooming. These distinctions indicate that treatment should take in account the grooming process specific to the offender in order to better personalize intervention designed to reduce the risk of reoffending.

Améliorer la compréhension et la gestion des conflits d’intérêts des experts conseillant la prise de décisions en santé publique

In Québec, in Canada and elsewhere in the world, expert advisory committees advise and guide government decision-makers in the choice of new drugs, vaccines to be used or interventions to be put in place. In parallel, these experts are receiving increasing support from private companies to conduct their research or to disseminate the results of their research. Such situations place them at risk of conflicts of interest and may eventually undermine confidence in public decision-making. This case study stimulates reflection into what constitutes sound and optimal management of conflict of interest situations by expert members and the organizations in which they have an advising role.

Préférences musicales alternatives et ajustement psychosocial à la fin de l’adolescence : une approche développementale semi-paramétrique

The goal of this study was to identify developmental trajectories of heavy metal, gothic and punk music preferences from late adolescence to emerging adulthood and outcomes such as depressive symptoms, antisocial behavior and substance use. 345 participants were surveyed from age 15 to 19. Group-based trajectory analyses identified distinct developmental trajectories of heavy metal, punk and gothic music preferences. Results indicated that a “moderate declining” heavy metal trajectory was positively associated with frequency of alcohol use, while a “moderate declining” gothic trajectory was associated with depressive symptoms at age 19. “High stable” trajectories were not associated with any outcomes in emerging adulthood. However, once controlling for age 12 adjustment problems, the relationships became non-significant. This suggests that underlying factors might explain both adjustment problems and alternative music preference evolution.

Évaluation de l’anxiété, de la détresse et de la douleur provoquée par l’examen anogénital chez les enfants soupçonnés d’avoir été victime d’agression sexuelle

Empirical evidence on the effects of anogenital examination following disclosure of child sexual abuse are scarce and inconsistent. The objective of this study was to provide a better understanding of the emotional response of children and their parents at the time of the medical examination and to identify the factors that may be related to the child’s report of anxiety, distress and pain. The sample was composed of 55 children ranging in age from 6 to12 years old and their parents, divided into two groups: 37 sexually abused children and 18 non-abused children consulting for urinary tract infection. Results of chi-square and t-tests analyses indicate that, contrary to expectations, there is no significant difference between victims and non-victims and between children and their parents in regard to child anxiety. Moreover, the level of knowledge relative to the anogenital examination is not related to the level of anxiety reported by the child and the parents, or to the level of distress experienced by the child. Finally, no link was found between the anxiety experienced by the child before the examination and the level of pain reported during the examination. Various exploratory statistical analyses were carried out to obtain a portrait of child victims and non-victims relative to their medical history and characteristics of the medical examination. Consistent with the results of prior studies, our results suggest that child victims do not experience more anxiety, distress (total score) and pain than non-victimized children.

Harmonisation de l'inventaire et de l'Archivage des ECG au CIUSS du Nord de l'île de Montréal

The project has been done as part of a master degree in biomedical engineering, clinicalengineering option, part of the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’île-de-Montréal, at theHospital Sacré-Coeur de Montréal. The aim of this work was to take in charge an overall project in a biomedical engineering department. During six months, I was in charge of two projects. The first one involved standardizing the inventory of the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’île-de-Montréal. To do so, I based my shelf on different actual inventories of the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’île-de-Montréal. The second project was a feasibility study for standardizing ECG in the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’île-de-Montréal. To do so, I’ve made an analysis of the different electrocardiograms and stress test present in all institutions of CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’île-de-Montréal in order to know the equipment who needed to be updated.

La gestion facultaire en contexte budgétaire difficile : analyse sous l’angle de l’activité des doyens

The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to study the work of four Canadian deans dealing with precarious financial situations. In a governance context of increasing accountability and ever-shifting power patterns, this study sheds a particularly important light upon the understanding of the real exercise of administrative functions by academic middle managers. Current research on the subject identifies deans as essential to an institution’s smooth operations; yet, it is one of the least understood cogs in the machine. The middle-of-the-ladder position they claim puts deans in an obvious conflict of roles and loyalty. Stuck between contradictory expectations from faculty and administrators, they must deal daily with this ambiguity in addition to increasing financial, leadership and operational responsibilities. To understand how deans use institutional levers and strategies in order to solve complex, contradictory situations is to increase our understanding of the complexity of decision-making in higher education as well as of higher education institutions in general. This study imports concepts and tools from the cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) and suggests an analysis model of collective activity in situations of systemic contradictions. Four deans from the same university were interviewed in order to exhaustively map a critical incident related to budget difficulties, as well as the process through which the situation was resolved. A qualitative analysis of the data allowed for an in-depth description of the tools and institutional levers deans used when confronted with financial difficulties. Results suggest that the participants mobilised a keen mastery of both the rules and their community to develop and implement a wide variety of systemic interventions in order to solve the contradictions in their activity systems.

L’analyse biomécanique du sprint sur ergomètre non-motorisé : interaction entre les asymétries cinétiques et cinématiques lors d’un sprint de 40 verges

The acceleration phase is commonly thought to be a performance-determining factor in sprint running and in multiple sports. However, the kinetics and kinematics asymetries can alter performance and even be a consequence of running related injuries. The purpose of this study was to identify the interaction between kinetics and kinematics angular parameters of lower extremities in a high intensity sprint running task conduct on a resisted non-motorized (RNM) treadmill. Following a familiarisation period, 11 sujects performed multiple 40 yard-dash sprint. Kinetic data were obtained directly from the RNM treadmill at 10 Hz and kinematics data were captured at 120Hz from the Optitrack system and Motive Tracker software. A linear correlation (Pearson correlation) was used to establish the relation between kinetics and angular kinematics parameters of lower limbs (p < 0,05). Our data suggest (1) a significant positive correlation between ankle mean range of motion and mean peak power developped (W/kg) in the speed maintenance phase (r = 0,62), (2) a significant inverse correlation between maximal mean extension (calculated by the smallest flexion angle) at the hip and mean peak power developped at the end of the push off phase during the entire sprint and in the speed maintenance phase (r = -0,63 and r = -0,69, respectively), and finally (3) a significant inverse correlation between the difference in maximal ankle dorsiflexion and the difference in peak power developped in the speed maintenance phase of the lower limbs (r = -0,62). Our results are useful in the development of new ergometre technology specific to sprint running training and, to help coaches and athletes to improve their approach and performance respectively.

La protection de l'environnement par les sanctions administratives pécuniaires au Québec

On October 4, 2011, the Quebec government passed a bill entitled: «An Act to amend the Environment Quality Act in order to reinforce compliance ». Among other amendments, said bill increased the severity of penal sanctions set forth in the Environment Quality Act and broadened the scope of the Government and the Minister’s powers regarding administrative authorizations. However, the major change introduced by the bill is the power for a designated person to impose monetary administrative penalties on persons and municipalities that fail to comply with the Act or the regulations, concurrently with the penal, administrative and civil remedies. The present work sets forth the issue of the legality of the new amendments with the following question: is the person facing a monetary administrative penalty charged with an offence and, therefore, could they raise the constitutional protection of section 11 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a person facing criminal or penal proceedings? Secondly, since we concluded that the monetary administrative penalty is an administrative sanction, how does the duty to act fairly translate during the imposition, review process and contestation before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec of the penalty?

Addressing overlapping land claim conflicts : an (alter)native approach

This thesis is dedicated to the study of overlapping aboriginal land claims. We question the origin and evolution of these overlaps and study the mechanisms which could be used in order to determine a solution acceptable to all parties. Our study first discusses the evolution of the exclusivity criterion developed in Canadian policy and case law relating to the granting of an aboriginal title, concluding that the criterion of exclusivity has become a defining issue in the development of a solution to overlaps between land claims. By observing the failures of the various levels of government in their attempts to develop solutions to overlapping claims, we find that Aboriginal legal traditions must be integrated into conflict resolution and be used when interpreting the exclusivity criterion. This requires us to perceive conflict resolution, as a legal institution, according to a certain understanding of the law. We use Lon Fuller’s vision, who presents an approach for reconciling various legal traditions. Our study brings us to propose the Indigenous Legal Lodge as a conflict resolution mechanism enabling Aboriginal groups to call upon their own legal traditions in resolving overlaps and to reconcile their differing traditions.
