The development of competencies for Civil Servants is needed in order to improve employee performance that will contribute positively organizational performance. For this reason, competency programs must be evaluated see the effectiveness their implementation. purpose study evaluate using kirkpatrick level 1 evaluation model find out satisfaction participants and Kirkpatrick 2 if there an incre...

Can an electronic portfolio that is both a multimedia container for student work and a tool to support key learning processes have a positive impact on the literacy practices and self-regulated learning skills of students? This article presents the findings of a yearlong study conducted in three Canadian provinces during the 2007–2008 school year initially involving 32 teachers and 388 students...

This paper describes an algorithm to compute, in (log n) time, a rectangle that is contained in a convex n-gon, has sides parallel to the coordinate axes, and has maximum area. With a slight modiication it will compute the smallest perimeter. The algorithm uses a tentative prune-and-search approach, even though this problem does not appear to t into the functional framework of Kirkpatrick and S...

This study examined the effectiveness of a faculty training program for problem-based learning (PBL) facilitation. A multi-level approach was used, following Kirkpatrick’s levels for assessing training effectiveness. Data were obtained from (1) tutor training workshop evaluations, (2) a survey of tutors’ attitudes and beliefs, (3) changes in tutors’ perceptions of their teaching styles through ...

We study properties of the energy minima obtained by quenching equilibrium configurations of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick (SK) mean-field spin glass. We measure the probability distribution of the overlap among quenched configurations and the quenched energy, looking at the dependence on the starting equilibrium temperature, and performing a systematic analysis of finite-size effects.

Les processus de transition et d’adaptation au monde universitaire, ainsi que l’orientation vers le professionnel constituent des défis majeurs pour les étudiants universitaires. Face à cette problématique, nombreux dispositifs soutien ont été proposés par universités. Cependant, leur impact n’a pas souvent évalué. L’objet recherche vise précisément présenter résultats l’évaluation d’un disposi...

On étudie la covariance (pour la mesure de Gibbs) des spins en deux sites dans le cas d’un modèle de Sherrington–Kirkpatrick avec champ externe; lorsque le nombre de sites du modèle tend vers l’infini, une évaluation asymptotique des moments d’ordre p de cette covariance permet d’obtenir un théorème limite faible avec une loi limite en général non gaussienne. We study the covariance (for Gibbs ...
