Le service universitaire de formation continue du pôle Martinique de l'université des Antilles a récompensé vendredi dernier les lauréats de la VAE.
Vendredi dernier, l'université des Antilles a récompensé 40 hommes et femmes, âgés de 30 à 60 ans, à la recherche d'un emploi ou en poste depuis plusieurs années. Avec courage, ces 12 hommes et 28 femmes ont validé un DUT, une licence ou un master, dans des domaines très variés, en s'appuyant sur leurs expériences appréciées par un jury d'experts. Pour la première fois, ces lauréats d'une promotion de validation des acquis de l'expérience (VAE) ont reçu leur diplôme lors d'une cérémonie officielle en présence de leur famille, de leurs enseignants, du directeur du service universitaire de la formation continue, Fernand Sainte-Rose, et de la vice-présidente du pôle Martinique, Odile Marcelin François-Haugrin.

From 2003 to 2010 the intake of students to the Danish PhD programme increased from 1,200 to approximately 2,600 students annually. This increase was partly due to the Globalisation Agreement of 2006 backed by a broad majority in the Danish Parliament aiming to strengthen growth and innovation capacity in Denmark.

Today, 10 years after the political agreement was adopted, some of the effects of the increased intake are materialising, as the first large PhD cohorts have graduated and entered the labour market. More...

New research has revealed that students study more effectively between 11:00 am and 9.30 pm than at other times of the day.
Based on a sample of 190 first and second year students, the OU and University of Nevada, analysed the study patterns of each student to determine optimum times when cognitive performance can be expected to be at its peak. More...

This study focuses on the NAEP achievement levels which are used to provide information that can be easily understood and used by policy makers, educators, and the public. NAEP uses three achievement levels – basic, proficient, and advanced – and reports the percentage of test takers who score at each level. NAEP also reports the percentage of test takers who score below the basic level. Is this way of reporting test performance informative to the public? Is it done in a way that produces results that are reliable, valid, and reasonable? An NRC study committee will be appointed under BOTA to answer these questions and will begin its work in early 2015. More...

The integrity of knowledge that emerges from research is based on individual and collective adherence to core values of objectivity, honesty, openness, fairness, accountability, and stewardship. Integrity in science means that the organizations in which research is conducted encourage those involved to exemplify these values in every step of the research process. Understanding the dynamics that support – or distort – practices that uphold the integrity of research by all participants ensures that the research enterprise advances knowledge.
The 1992 report Responsible Science: Ensuring the Integrity of the Research Process evaluated issues related to scientific responsibility and the conduct of research. It provided a valuable service in describing and analyzing a very complicated set of issues, and has served as a crucial basis for thinking about research integrity for more than two decades. However, as experience has accumulated with various forms of research misconduct, detrimental research practices, and other forms of misconduct, as subsequent empirical research has revealed more about the nature of scientific misconduct, and because technological and social changes have altered the environment in which science is conducted, it is clear that the framework established more than two decades ago needs to be updated.
Responsible Science served as a valuable benchmark to set the context for this most recent analysis and to help guide the committee’s thought process. Fostering Integrity in Research identifies best practices in research and recommends practical options for discouraging and addressing research misconduct and detrimental research practices. More...
