Positive teacher-child relationships are key factors for children’s social-emotional development and academic success in schools. Teachers’ ability to provide children with emotional support and understand children’s unique needs may improve challenging behaviors in the classroom. Play-based teacher intervention training models provide teachers opportunities to become therapeutic agents and lea...

The cyber culture changes relations with the knowledge: the speed of emergence and renewal of information, the new relationship with work and the consolidation of digital technologies that modify the natural cognitive processes of perception, memory, imagination and reasoning. This new educational reality is seen in the expansion of online courses, which alter the boundaries of the physical spa...

Management of behavior problems in an inpatient child and adolescent psychiatric unit is largely the responsibility of nurses, yet few evidence-based programs exist that prepare nurses for this role. A pilot study examined the effects of a 3-day standardized parent/teacher training program adapted for inpatient child and adolescent psychiatric unit nurses. Findings indicated that the standardiz...

The interdisciplinary nature of bioinformatics makes it an ideal framework to develop activities enabling enquiry-based learning. We describe here the development and implementation of a pilot project to use bioinformatics-based research activities in high schools, called "Bioinformatics@school." It includes web-based research projects that students can pursue alone or under teacher supervision...

We present a research work about an innovative national teacher training program in France: the Pairform@nce program, designed to sustain ICT integration. The Pairform@nce trainings are grounded in a principle of collective lesson design by teams of trainees; they associate face-to-face and distant training. We study here a training for secondary school teachers, whose objective is to foster th...

The performance of automatic speech recognition can often be significantly improved by combining multiple systems together. Though beneficial, ensemble methods can be computationally expensive, often requiring multiple decoding runs. An alternative approach, appropriate for deep learning schemes, is to adopt student-teacher training. Here, a student model is trained to reproduce the outputs of ...
