Gender Gap in Numeracy and the Role of Marital Status. Evidence from 19th century France
Authors: Perrin Faustine 
Published: May 2020

Les indicateurs de capital humain conventionnellement utilisés dans les études de long terme ( e.g. taux d’alphabétisation, niveau d’instruction, nombre d’années de scolarisation) sont rarement disponibles par statut marital, voire inexistants. Un indicateur de capital humain fréquemment utilisé pour les périodes antérieures au 20ème siècle est l’« attraction des âges ». Nous utilisons cette méthode pour analyser et représenter graphiquement l’hétérogénéité des capacités cognitives et différences observées en termes de genre et par statut marital en France au milieu du 19 ème siècle. Les indices calculés montrent que les femmes mariées « accumulent » significativement moins que les femmes célibataires, alors que les hommes mariés « accumulent » davantage que les hommes célibataires. Nous explorons la validité de quatre hypothèses pour expliquer ces différences. Nos résultats montrent que les données concernant les femmes mariées et célibataires sont sujettes à des biais et qu’elles doivent, en conséquence, être utilisées avec précaution pour mesurer les compétences de bases en numératie. Nous trouvons malgré tout qu’il existe une corrélation robuste entre taux d’alphabétisation des individus et capacités en numératie. Nos résultats suggèrent que les aptitudes en calcul des femmes mariées sont davantage corrélées avec les indicateurs classiques de capital humain, comme le taux de scolarisation, que ne le sont les aptitudes des femmes célibataires et celles des hommes.
Balance Sheet Policies in a Large Currency Union: A Primer on ECB Non-Standard Measures since 2014
Authors: Darracq-Pariès Matthieu , Papadopoulou Niki 
Published: May 2020

Durant la crise financière, la BCE a été amenée à élargir le champ de ses instruments de politique monétaire, prenant des mesures non-conventionnelles dont le but premier était de répondre au processus de fragmentation financière entre les différentes juri-dictions de la zone euro et de restaurer un degré approprié d’assouplissement des conditions monétaires. La propagation de ces mesures au sein de l’union monétaire dépend largement de la structure du système financier des différentes régions. Cet article explore justement les canaux de transmission de certaines mesures non-conventionnelles de la BCE, tout en tenant de l’hétérogénéité au sein de la zone euro et en utilisant un modèle DSGE global avec spécification granulaire et réaliste du secteur financier. L’analyse est basée sur le modèle multi-pays à 6 régions de Darracq Pariès et al. [2019] et se concentre notamment sur l’étude d’impact macroéconomique des achats de titres de la BCE depuis 2014. Le modèle peut rendre compte à la fois du canal du crédit des politiques non-conventionnelles mais aussi de leur transmission via l’environnement international et the taux de change. Les résultats de simulations indiquent une transmission domestique significative des achats de titres par la banque centrale via le canal de crédit. L’impact macroéconomique s’avère tout de même hétérogène entre les États membre de la zone euro. L’introduction de frictions sur les choix de portefeuille d’actifs reste-du-monde modifie la transmission des politiques d’achats d’actifs par la banque centrale : cela implique une plus forte dépréciation de l’euro, renforçant les effets expansionnistes des mesures et atténuant les différences de transmission entre pays.
Public Opinion on Central Banks when Economic Policy is Uncertain
Authors: Istrefi Klodiana , Piloiu Anamaria 
Published: May 2020

Cet article examine dans quelle mesure l’incertitude sur la politique économique joue un rôle prépondérant quant à la crédibilité et la réputation de la banque centrale aux yeux du grand public. En particulier, nous mesurons les effets de l’incertitude politique sur l’opinion des citoyens, qu’il s’agisse de confiance ou de satisfaction, vis-à-vis de la Banque Centrale Européenne, la Banque d’Angleterre et la Banque du Japon. Pour ce faire, nous estimons un VAR bayésien pour plusieurs pays de la zone euro (Allemagne, France, Italie, et Espagne), le Royaume-Uni et le Japon sur la période 1999-2014. Nous constatons que les chocs liés à l’incertitude des politiques économiques entrainent des contractions économiques et une détérioration relativement prononcée de nos mesures de confiance ou de satisfaction. Suite à un tel choc, ces dernières prennent généralement plus de temps à se reconstruire que la croissance économique.
Répondre aux questions d’un robot
Authors: Pitsch Karola , Relieu Marc , Velkovska Julia 
Published: May 2020

Cette étude des rencontres concrètes de petits groupes d’adultes et d’enfants avec un robot-guide-de-musée autonome prend l’interaction humain-robot comme outil d’étude de l’(inter-)action située. En analysant des séquences questions-réponses (sur enregistrements vidéo et archives du logiciel de reconnaissance vocale), nous explorons la manière dont ces groupes tentent de répondre aux questions du robot et la dynamique interactionnelle émergeant entre les visiteurs. Une micro-analyse fine de l’interaction (ethnométhodologie/analyse conversationnelle) y est combinée avec la perspective interne du robot, montrant que les adultes tendent à jouer les « facilitateurs de participation », faisant des enfants les principaux co-participants du robot. Les participants travaillant ensemble pour produire des réponses aux questions du robot, il est nécessaire de distinguer conceptuellement la « réponse comme processus d’interaction » de la « réponse comme résultat ». Dans le développement de séquences questions-réponses pour les systèmes robotiques, cette étude propose un apport sur une approche multimodale, la gestion d’utilisateurs multiples et la sensibilité à leur hétérogénéité.
Des villes et leurs stades olympiques
Authors: Delépine Michaël , Lewis Willie 
Published: May 2020

Stades olympiques situés dans les périphéries de Paris et Los Angeles, les enceintes réalisées pour les Jeux de 1924 et 1932 sont encore exploitées de nos jours et s’apprêtent à recevoir les futures épreuves de 2024 et 2028. Nées dans un temps de développement des villes, des pratiques et des spectacles sportifs, elles entretiennent depuis l’entre-deux-guerres un rapport complexe avec leurs espaces urbains. Parfois propriétés municipales, elles sont autant un point de repère pour la ville, une possibilité de valorisation d’un territoire qu’une source de bouleversements majeurs en raison de l’afflux de foules sportives à intervalles réguliers. Dans une logique de regards croisés, cet article se veut comme un coup de projecteur sur la relation entre la ville et un haut lieu du sport international.
Культурная память населения Липецкой области в условиях миграционных вызовов: мемориальный конфликт или мнемоническая адаптация?
Authors: Batishchev Roman Yu. 
Published: May 2020

В статье предпринимается попытка проанализировать конфликтогенный потенциал культурной памяти мигрантов и принимающего сообщества на территории Липецкой области в условиях интенсификации миграционных потоков и появления новых локальных фронтирных зон. Анализ опирается на социологическое исследование, проведённое среди мигрантов и «коренного» населения Липецкой области в 2017-2018 годах. Рассмотрение взаимодействий культурной памяти мигрантов и принимающего общества происходит через использование теоретических концептов «культурной диффузии» (и выделения нескольких её аспектов – когнитивного, языкового, ценностного и поведенческого) и «мнемонической адаптации», обоснованных в ходе реализации проекта «Культурная память России в ситуации глобальных миграционных вызовов: конфликты репрезентаций, риски забвения, стратегии трансформации».
В ходе исследования выявлены противоречивые тенденции в миграционной ситуации в Липецкой области; тем не менее, в настоящее время и в долгосрочной перспективе культурная память обладает высоким конфликгогенным потенциалом. В когнитивном аспекте выявлен довольно высокий уровень этноцентризма как среди мигрантов, так и среди принимающего общества, что является значимым препятствием для мнемонической адаптации. Однако в языковом, ценностном и поведенческом аспектах выявлена высокая степень готовности к культурной диффузии. В целом, представители мигрантов демонстрируют большую открытость к новому культурному опыту, чем коренные липчане.
Student Understanding of Number Line Graphs
Authors: Mirin Alison 
Published: May 2020

This paper addresses how students understand number line graphs. Utilizing a Think Aloud interview followed by a reflection-eliciting interview, we investigate how two successful College Algebra students understand what it means to graph a statement with one free variable on a number line. These particular students show a mathematically non-normative understanding of this concept; to wit, they do not view the number line graph as representing a solution set. This study illustrates the importance of future research into how students understand the concept of solution representation via number line graphs.
Transnational Higher Education and International Branch Campuses in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: The Case of the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Bridi Robert Michael 
Published: May 2020

The aim of the paper is to examine the emergence of transnational higher education (TNHE) and international branch campuses (IBCs) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The findings demonstrate that the emergence of TNHE and IBCs has been the result of interrelated political, economic, social, and academic factors. First, the formation of the GCC was a key moment during which member states sought to stimulate scientific progress through the development of higher education as part of a strategy to meet labor demands and economic development. Second, the commodification of education and the drive to increasing profits in educational institutions combined with decreases in government funding to Western universities during the neo-liberal era of capitalism have been an impetus for Western universities to seek ‘new markets’ beyond their borders. Third, the liberating of regional trade policies in services, including education, combined with the internationalization of education has enabled the cross-border movement of students, educators, and institutions. Fourth, the UAE’s unique demographic group mix, which consists of a majority of international expatriates, combined with significant government funding in the education sector and international partnerships has resulted in the rapid expansion of TNHE and IBCs.
A decade of TeachMeet: an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis of participants’ tales of impact
Authors: Amond Mags , Johnston Keith , Millwood Richard , McIntosh Ewan 
Published: May 2020

TeachMeet is an emerging informal professional development event organised by teachers for teachers, commonly described as an unconference. It is a volunteer-led global phenomenon without any established hierarchy. To celebrate the first ten years of TeachMeet, the founders announced an open call for particpants to submit, online, their stories of impact. The resulting submissions were subjected to an Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) capitalizing on the ‘double hermeneutic’ lens of the experience of researchers whose positionality is that of informed insiders. Findings reveal the categories in which the lived experience reported by participants shows the impact of TeachMeet: ranging from appreciative description of the event they attended to reflective confessions of life-enhancing transformation in their personal and professional lives, their classrooms and the wider teaching community. These finding are examined in the light of how they align with several models of evaluation of teacher learning (Guskey 1998, Kennedy 2005, Kirkpatrick 2006, Desimone 2011, Wenger, Trayner and deLatt 2011), and what they indicate about where evolving TeachMeet communities and networks may be situated in an informal learning landscape.
Classroom Learning Motivators:Breaking ESL Chinese university students' passivity in class discussion
Authors: Echiverri Leah Li 
Published: May 2020

Chinese university students enrolled in overseas coursework and English as Medium of Instruction courses domestically have a reputation for classroom passivity as recognized internationally. Thus, the case study was employed to explore Wenzhou Kean University (WKU) students’ ‘willingness to communicate’ based on motivation and attitude toward the classroom learning milieu. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were used in the semi- structured interview of 75 informants during the focus group discussion. Thematic content analysis method was used to analyze qualitative data collected. Grounded theory was used for the generation of theories. Findings showed that ESL Chinese university students are motivated because of knowledge acquisition and English spoken ability improvement when they engage in class discussion. A relaxing classroom climate, teacher’s personality and professional competence in designing the learning experiences contribute in shaping favorable learning attitudes necessary for active student participation in class discussion. Most WKU students intend to pursue graduate studies abroad and considers English speaking ability important in their future and career goals. This belief persistently motivates them to engage in class discussion. Besides, thinking skills development, English spoken language improvement, self-confidence build up, leadership skills, teamwork skills and adaptability to new environment development heighten the importance of class discussion.
A Systematic Assessment Framework for Higher-Education Institutions
Authors: Anilkumar Munikrishnappa , Singai Chetan , Ramaprasad Arkalgud 
Published: May 2020

The multiple criteria of ranking, rating and accrediting the higher education institutions in India and across globe have become de facto lens for viewing the institutions. There is an increasing number of assessment systems carried down by multiple agencies, with the public policy emphasis on higher education institutions getting assessed, it is necessary to use a systematic and systemic framework that is comprehensive for assessment. For this purpose, the paper proposes an ontological framework for assessment of higher education institutions. The ontology’s dimensions, sub-dimensions, and their constituent elements are derived from higher-education assessment systems that are well known globally and in India. The framework can help higher-education institutions: (a) assess themselves systemically and systematically; (b) highlight the bright, light, blind, and blank spots in their performance; and (c) correct their trajectory to fulfil their vision. Such framework would assist in identifying the gaps and pathways to improve their position in assessments.
The Value of an Enterprise Postgraduate Research Programme for creating business start-ups in the UK
Authors: Papadopoulou Kassandra A. , Phillips Robert A. 
Published: May 2020

The Masters of Enterprise Programme is a postgraduate programme whereby a student attempts to start a business during the course of their studies. Established in 2001, we have analysed the success of the 59 companies created from the course and found that as expected the start-up rate is higher than the general population. We also found that ratio of male to female founders (70-30) was similar to start-ups from the general population; however, the survival rate of ventures created from the programme was significantly higher. Also, a higher rate of the businesses were employing more than just the founder, implying they are what could be considered “Entrepreneurial” businesses rather than simply someone self- employed as might be normal in some careers. Despite many overseas students completing the course, only 3 of the businesses were founded outside the UK, suggesting the UK economy is benefitting from the ventures created. We also discuss other outcomes from the course such as these entrepreneurial students are often recruited by top corporates. We further discuss what we believe are the contributing pedagogic factors to its success. Keywords: Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Education, Employability, Start-ups, UK economy.
Entrepreneurship and University Spin-offs for (Academic) Employment?
Authors: Cocorullo Augusto , Boffo Stefano , Gagliardi Francesco 
Published: May 2020

In the new Millennium Italian universities have lived many changes deeply reshaping academic institutions. A relevant aspect was the more and more significant need to answer the demand of society and respond the social pressure to accountability through the transfer of knowledge, innovation and technology to economy. It led to an extension of the so-called university Fourth Mission, an instrument dedicated to create spin-offs to share scientific research results with society. The paper investigates the present reality of university spin-offs in Italy by considering their growing number also in the light of their role ofinstrument for academic job substitution. In particular, a tool to respond to the current condition of young Italian academic researchers increasingly affected by job offer reduction due to budget constraints, consequent university policies and new management issues.
Alternative Strategies for Higher Education Provision at TAFE Queensland
Authors: Wilson Paul 
Published: May 2020

Australia’s tertiary education and training sector consists of Higher Education, predominantly funded and controlled by the Federal Government, and Vocational Education and Training (VET) where both the Federal and State Governments have policy and funding responsibilities. While there has been increasing funding and stable policy in Higher Education over the past decade there has been significant change in the Australian VET sector in policy and reduced funding at the Federal and State levels. TAFE Queensland, the public VET provider in the state of Queensland, has undergone a huge transformation of its own over this period of extensive policy change. As a result of policy and organisational changes TAFE Queensland has had to seek alternatives to ensure that students who choose to study at this public provider are able to access higher education courses. This paper outlines various policy change impacts over the past decade and TAFE Queensland’s innovative approach to ensuring that quality applied degrees are available to interested students who prefer to study with this major public vocational education provider.
Integrated disciplines and future competencies: A blueprint for ethically aligned curriculum for IT, CS, ITC & beyond
Authors: Libin Alexander V. 
Published: May 2020

Autonomous and intelligent technical systems are specifically designed to reduce the necessity for human intervention in our daily lives. In so doing, these new computer-based systems are also raising concerns about their impact on individuals and society. Because of their innovative nature, the full benefit will be obtained only if the technology is aligned with society's defined values guided by ethical principles. Through the proposed ethically aligned curriculum (ETHIKA) for computer sciences (CS) and information technology (IT) specialties we intend, therefore, to establish frameworks to guide and inform dialogue and debate around the non-technical implications, in particular related to ethical dilemmas. Hereby we understand "ethical" to go beyond universal moral constructs, such as trust, harm, good or bad, and include ethical designs for AI-based technologies, socially-oriented computer sciences, and ethical risks of digital society. As digital economy prospers, more CS/IT-professionals realize the power of education-driven intellectual capacity (InCED). It is hypothesized, that InCED has direct impact on learning competencies of students, warranting future successful management of professional and life ethical challenges. ETHIKA elucidate, through both methodological and experimental inquiries, the impact of global digitalization and related ethical risks on learning and professional competencies in both professional CS/IT-community and the University students.
