Dehumanization from the victim鈥檚 perspective 鈥� An integrative approach (2016-2021)
Prof. Demoulin St茅phanie (IPSY), porte-parole, Maurage Pierre (IPSY), Stinglhamber Florence (IPSY)

Dehumanization, defined as the psychological denial of humanness to others, is an all-too-familiar phenomenon in social interactions. Despite the pervasiveness of the phenomenon, there is surprisingly a general lack of research on dehumanization鈥檚 victims from a psychological perspective. As a matter of fact, current research efforts conducted on dehumanization in psychology have largely taken a perspective centered on the perpetrator, examining the various antecedents that lead to dehumanization or exploring the variables moderating this process. Much less is known on the influence of dehumanization on its victims.

The aim of the present project is to offer, for the first time, an integrated approach of dehumanization processes from the victim鈥檚 point of view. More specifically, this project bares three crucial objectives. First, it aims to investigate the social, environmental, and contextual antecedents leading victims to experience dehumanization. Second, it will explore the consequences of experiences of dehumanization on the victims, namely the behaviors, affects, and self-perceptions that they generate, as well as the brain correlates related to these dehumanization feelings. Third, it will examine the role of social support in moderating or buffering these relationships.

The antecedents, consequences and moderators of experiences of dehumanization on the victims will be investigated by means of complementary methods (survey-based studies, experimental tasks, brain data) and in three different domains in which dehumanization is most relevant, namely the intergroup, the psychiatric, and the organizational domains. This integrated approach will culminate in a general model of victims鈥� reactions to dehumanization.

Assessing Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL): Linguistic, cognitive and educational perspectives

Promoters: Prof. Philippe Hiligsmann (UCL-IL&C/Valibel) (spokesman), Prof. Beno卯t Galand (UCL-IPSY), Prof. Laurence Mettewie (UNamur-Pluri-LL), Prof. Fanny Meunier (UCL-IL&C/CECL), Prof. Arnaud Szmalec (UCL-IPSY), Prof. Kristel Van Goethem (F.R.S.-FNRS/UCL-IL&C/Valibel)

In times of globalization and cultural openness, policies increasingly promote multilingualism as a strong social and economic asset. One way to foster multilingualism in education is Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), a didactic method in which school subjects are taught in a different target language than the mainstream school language. To this day we only have an incomplete and fragmented view on how CLIL differs from non-CLIL education and on how it impacts second/foreign language acquisition. On the basis of a large-scale longitudinal study, the research project aims to gain insight into the linguistic, cognitive and educational aspects of CLIL and to understand how the interplay between those three perspectives may underlie L2 acquisition processes. To this end, we will concentrate on French-speaking CLIL and non-CLIL learners (control group) having Dutch or English as target language. Data will be collected at different times in the last two years of primary and secondary school education.
This interdisciplinary study intends to make a strong empirical and theoretical contribution to the ongoing international scientific debates on multilingualism in general and CLIL in particular.

ABSTRACT
In contemporary European societies, unemployment remains high, rising again towards 10% in 2009 and, even if employment rates tend to increase over the last ten years, so too have non-standard work arrangements, job disparity, fragmentation and precariousness. Employment integration is thus a central challenge. This variable has been defined by two dimensions: one is the employment security, which refers to the characteristics of the employment contract; the other is the quality of job tasks, which covers the characteristics of the job itself and includes the degree of task discretion or autonomy, opportunities for skill development, and compatibility between work and family.
So far, research has largely focused on analysing the characteristics and consequences of employment integration for individuals. It has also studied the role of labour market variables 鈥� wage, productivity and household demand 鈥� in the dynamics of low wage employment. Other studies analysed societal changes leading to job uncertainty or compared the role of national institutional regimes. However, there is a need for new research able to understand and link the processes that take place at different levels 鈥� institutional regime, organisations, groups and individuals 鈥� and produce employment integration. This is specifically the aim of this research programme. It will study mechanisms at three levels:
- Different institutional employment regimes have differentiated consequences for employment integration. Research projects will study norms and regulation established by institutions in a given national employment regime, and analyse how they affect firms and individuals.
- Organisational characteristics, policies and practices also intervene in determining who has access, and how, to employment integration. In some sectors, such as personal services, different types of organisations compete in the market. Projects will study the impact of the mission 鈥� either for-profit or non-profit 鈥� of the organisation on employment integration.
- Individuals are members of various social groups and as such activate stereotypes and prejudice that play a role in the production of employment integration for specific categories of jobseekers and precarious workers. Addressing both employers鈥� and workers鈥� attitudes, projects will examine psychosocial processes that are activated in social diversity contexts and their impact on employment security and job quality.

R茅sum茅 : L'action de recherche concert茅e 07/12-007 porte sur les m茅canismes neurophysiologiques qui sous-tendent les repr茅sentations internes mettant en relation la perception et l'action.
Trois sus-projets sont propos茅s.
1. Nous tenterons d'identifier les informations cod茅es au sein des repr茅sentations dans le domaine de la reconnaissance faciale, dans le domaine de la saillance et du contr么le attentionnel et enfin dans la structure des mod猫les internes jouant un r么le important tant dans la vision que dans les mouvements du regard.
2. Un second sous-projet concerne la localisation et le partage des repr茅sentations. Plus pr茅cis茅ment, on tentera d'identifier les aires corticales responsables du traitement des visages, gr芒ce 脿 des techniques d'imagerie c茅r茅brale fonctionnelle et 脿 l'observation de patients c茅r茅bro-l茅s茅s. Par ailleurs, la stimulation magn茅tique transcr芒nienne nous permettra de localiser plus finement les aires corticales impliqu茅es dans les processus attentionnels et dans la repr茅sentation de la saillance. Une autre question int茅ressante concerne la repr茅sentation de la magnitude dans le cerveau: un des objectif 茅tant de d茅terminer les m茅canismes partag茅s entre le contr么le des mouvements digitaux et le contr么le des op茅rations arithm茅tiques. D'autre part, les techniques d'enregistrement cellulaire chez le singe devraient nous permettre la mise en 茅vidence des aires c茅r茅brales impliqu茅es dans la repr茅sentation des 茅v茅nements futurs, assurant la programmation de r茅ponses anticip茅es. Enfin, on 茅tudiera la contribution de diff茅rentes aires corticales dans le contr么le des mouvements des doigts et de la main, ainsi que la participation de l'aire de Broca (aire du langage chez l'humain) dans le contr么le d'une 芦 syntaxe禄 de l'action.
3. Un troisi猫me sous-projet concerne les aspects temporels des repr茅sentations cod茅es au sein du syst猫me nerveux central. Deux domaines seront abord茅s : l'茅tude du d茅cours temporel du traitement des visages, et l'apprentissage de nouvelles distributions de probabilit茅 d'un 茅v茅nement futur.

Negative and ultra-low interest rates: behavioral and quantitative modelling. NEMO (2018-2023)

Abstract.
Interest rates are a cornerstone of economics and finance. They are at the foundation of asset pricing and monetary policy, and more generally of all intertemporal choices made by market participants and institutions every day, with huge consequences for the economic activity and wellbeing of our societies. Until recently, it was assumed (mostly implicitly) that interest rates could only possibly be positive. Notwithstanding, in the wake of the financial crisis initiated in 2008, major central banks of developed countries have been brought to conduct rates policies that turned them negative. The consequences of such a paradigm shift are both potentially huge and not well understood yet. This research project aims at shedding light on these consequences, both from an academic and a policy viewpoint, following three intertwined research lines that bring together a multidisciplinary team of researchers working on Behavioral Finance, Macro Finance, and Quantitative Finance.

Parental burnout and its consequences for children: Towards an integrated and multilevel approach (Acronym: BParent) (2019-2024)

Promotors: Isabelle Roskam (spokesperson), Alexandre Heeren, Isabelle Aujoulat, Aurore Fran莽ois, Mo茂ra Mikolajczak

One may wonder whether a cultural system that has placed the best interests of children at the center of its priorities could generate situations of great vulnerability for some of them. This is the very core question of the current research project. It is rooted in two related observations: (1) the view of the child has evolved over the last century. The child is now viewed as a human subject with multiple rights: education, security, stability, health, well-being, expression,鈥� (2) this evolution has led to a fast-growing expansion of the role and duties of parents who are expected to provide support and warmth, avoid harsh punishment and coercion, and develop the child鈥檚 potential. The 鈥済ood parental鈥� role has been translated into a series of duties associated with competences which, progressively, have objectified it as a full-time job doomed to success or failure. As it is conceptualized and formulated, the parental role is stringent, taxing, and often stressful. In this way, some parents may experience important and chronic stress that may increase the risk of parental burnout, which, in turn, may lead to detrimental downstream cascade of consequences for children, such as neglect and violence. However, uncertainty still abounds regarding the exact mechanisms whereby those phenomena interact. As a consequence, the current project aims at clarifying how a system  promoting children鈥檚 well-being may foster such downstream harmful parental pressure, which, in turn, ultimately yields deleterious consequences for those whom it sought to protect. In order to do so, four Work Packages (WPs), involving five disciplines, i.e. Cross-cultural Psychology, History, Public Health, Clinical Psychology, and Health Psychology, are proposed. The WPs bring together complementary backgrounds and methods, i.e. study of archives, quantitative survey, laboratory studies, qualitative participatory research, and ecological sampling methods exploring parent-child interactions, which will be combined to address common questions and achieve common goals. Based on the outputs of the WPs, a multilevel (i.e. historical, social, public health, and psychological) model of the antecedents, consequences, and moderators of parental burnout will be developed combining face validity and international Delphi consensus approaches. In sum, this interdisciplinary and fundamental research project addresses novel and timely issues with far-reaching implications, ultimately setting up the scene for new research horizons in the field of parental burnout.

A mixed鈥恗ethod and multidisciplinary approach to sociocognitive conflicts in online educational platforms (MOOCresearch2.0) (2019-2024)
Prof. Magali Paquot (UCLouvain/SSH/ILC), porte-parole, Mariane Frenay (UCLouvain/SSH/IPSY), Fran莽ois Lambotte (UCLouvain/SSH/ILC), Val茅rie Swaen (UCLouvain/SSH/LRIM)

(Open) online education poses a variety of challenges for higher education, one of which is how to foster social interactions and induce beneficial socio-cognitive conflicts (i.e. differences in point of view that are socially experienced and cognitively resolved) to promote learning in an environment where interactions are primarily written and asynchronous. MOOCs are a unique environment where people from all over the world 鈥� with different professional experience, first language, cultural background, etc. - are invited to discuss disciplinary concepts and/or society issues that can potentially induce socio-cognitive conflicts.

To address this challenge, this multidisciplinary project, that builds on theories from several disciplines from the humanities and social sciences (linguistics, natural language processing, communication sciences, education, and management studies), will analyse social interactions and investigate the presence and unfolding of socio-cognitive conflicts in massive open online courses (MOOCs).

A multi-disciplinary approach to the interplay between cognition and action: From mental representation to muscle control 鈥� and back! (2021 鈥� 2026)

Promoters : Michael Andres (spokesperson), Fr茅d茅ric Crevecoeur, Julie Duque, Gilles Vannuscorps
Acronym : Co-Action
>

The ability of humans to interact with their environment involves a permanent crosstalk between cognitive and motor processes. Over the past decades, there has been a tremendous accumulation of data in favor of a strong interplay between the neural bases of these processes, with many studies showing that the role of the motor system may go far beyond the mere execution of actions. In particular, evidence suggests that the motor system may bias the processing of perceptual information, aid the visual recognition of others鈥� actions, and contribute to the executive control of our own actions. This research has led to an enthusiastic move toward 鈥渆mbodied鈥� or 鈥渟ensorimotor鈥� accounts of cognition, which share the assumption that sensorimotor experience is the raw material of cognition, looping the outcome of motor processes back to cognitive processes. However, other studies indicate that motor lesions do not necessarily entail cognitive deficits, which has been taken as evidence for 鈥渄isembodied鈥� accounts of cognition. The dissociation between cognitive and motor deficits represents a difficulty for the conceptualization of the interplay between cognitive and motor processes. But is noteworthy that, to date, such evidence has been collected using oversimplified experimental paradigms where cognitive processes are studied in isolation from motor processes under optimal conditions and focused attention. Thus, the question remains whether the line of separation established based on these patient studies reflects the true organisation of brain functions or is just a consequence of the method used to study them. In-between the influential 鈥渄isembodied鈥� and 鈥渆mbodied鈥� views, there is a vast theoretical space that we propose to explore through a multidisciplinary and ecological approach. This approach aims to reveal the computational, neural and functional principles of the interplay between cognitive and motor processes, using experimental paradigms that mimic the complexity of everyday life and that consider cognitive and motor demands jointly. The Action de Recherche Concert茅e 21/26-112 is split into four work packages that bring together complementary backgrounds and methods to study elementary functions of human behaviour, such as the problem of perceptual continuity during gaze movement (visual cognition), the recognition of others鈥� actions in adverse conditions (action recognition), the timing and accuracy of motor decisions (decision making), and the on-line adjustment of movement execution to dynamic environmental changes (movement execution). Patient studies have a special status in this investigation, as the results will allow us to test the causal relationship between cognitive and motor processes and, in turn, improve our ability to detect and explain comorbidities in clinical populations.

Keywords: child, neurodevelopmental dysfunctions, brain development, learning disabilities, emotion regulation, autism,

biomarkers, multi-modal brain imaging, EEG, MEG, MRI, fMRI, modeling, RDoC.

 

Mental health disorders pose a massive economic and societal burden. Emerging early in development and resulting in long-term disability, neurodevelopmental dysfunctions (NDD) compromise the quality of life of millions of Europeans.

The purpose of the Neo-PRISM-C ETN is (1) to train Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in applying the Research Domain Criteria, a novel framework for understanding psychopathology, to the study of the mechanisms and treatments of NDD. It aims (2) to train ESRs from multiple disciplines (psychology, neuroscience, data science) in state-of-the-art and transferable skills for innovating the study of brainbehavior relationships in NDD, in the context of a systems-based, trans-diagnostic theoretical frame. This ETN will also (3) support training in designing evidence-based, individualized treatments of learning, behavioral, and social maladjustment, bridging across diagnostic categories. Towards these goals, we have assembled a trans-sectoral European network with expertise in cognitive, social, educational, clinical, and emotion research and in training ESRs. Six research, training and management work packages (WPs) pursue these goals. WP1 comprises innovative projects, investigating risk and protective factors that span across NDD diagnostic categories (autism, learning, emotional difficulties) and linking to the healthcare industry and education. WP2 examines systems-level brain development to identify biological substrates of specific dysfunctions. WP3 applies this knowledge to develop new multi-modal interventions to address domains of impairment. The academic, industrial and clinical partners collaborate across themes, offering ESRs project-specific secondments, supervision, workshops, summer school and courses on research, transferable and entrepreneurial skills. Neo-PRISM-C is expected to further understanding of NDD and improve the competitiveness of EU health professions, providing the market with highly-skilled researchers and clinicians.

FRFC : The paradoxical effects of the love hormone : Investigation of the conditions in which oxytocin leads to anti-social effects

Promoteurs : Moira Mikolajczak et Olivier Luminet (UCL)
Chercheur(s) : Lydia Lorenzino (UCL)
Dur茅e: 1er juillet 2013 - 30 juin 2017
Financement : FRFC-FNRS

R茅sum茅: L鈥檕cytocine est une hormone peptidique qui int茅resse particuli猫rement les psychiatres et les psychologues en raison de ses multiples effets intra et interpersonnels sur les 茅motions, les cognitions et le comportement humain. L鈥檕bjectif de cette recherche est de contribuer 脿 d茅passer le r么le simpliste attribu茅 脿 cette hormone (芦hormone de l鈥檃mour 禄 facilitant les comportements pro-sociaux) en testant l鈥檋ypoth猫se que l鈥檕cytocine peut 茅galement avoir des effets socialement moins d茅sirables, voire m锚me antisociaux, dans certains contextes.

Promoteurs : Mariane Frenay, Assaad Azzi (ULB), Beno卯t Galand et Olivier Klein (ULB)
Chercheur(s) : Gentiane Boudrenghien, Christelle Devos et Nicolas Van der Linden (ULB)
Dur茅e: 2012-2016
Financement : FRFC-FNRS

R茅sum茅: Ce projet de recherche interuniversitaire porte sur les processus de pers茅v茅rance et d鈥檃bandon au cours du doctorat. S鈥檃ppuyant sur la th茅orie de l鈥檃uto-d茅termination (Ryan & Deci, 2002), ce projet poursuit deux objectifs principaux :
1) Examiner le r么le du soutien 脿 l鈥檃utonomie, du soutien 脿 la comp茅tence et du soutien 脿 l鈥檃ffiliation sociale dans la pers茅v茅rance 脿 diff茅rentes 茅tapes du doctorat ;
2) Evaluer l鈥檌mportance respective du promoteur, des pairs et du programme doctoral (Ecole doctorale) comme sources de soutien.

FRFC : Comprendre le d茅veloppement professionnel d'enseignants universitaires : pourquoi les enseignants investissent-ils dans leurs activit茅s d'enseignement, la diffusion de leurs pratiques et le conseil et l'accompagnement de leurs pairs ?

Direction de la recherche : Mariane Frenay, Bernadette No毛l (FUCaM), Vincent Wertz (UCL/EPL) & Mich猫le Garant (UCL/IPM)
Chercheur(s) : Pascale Wouters
Dur茅e : 2010-2012
Financement : Fonds de la recherche fondamentale collective (FRFC) - FRS/FNRS

R茅sum茅 : Au d茅part de la confrontation des repr茅sentations de conseillers p茅dagogiques et d'enseignants universitaires, impliqu茅s eux-m锚mes dans le conseil et l'accompagnement de leurs pairs, nous avons mis en 茅vidence l'importance du processus de construction et de d茅veloppement professionnel de l'enseignant universitaire. Les stades auxquels se situent les enseignants seraient le reflet de leur engagement et de leur investissement dans leurs activit茅s d'enseignement ainsi que dans des activit茅s de conseil et de formation de leurs pairs. Le pr茅sent projet vise 脿 explorer ce qui encourage les enseignants universitaires, 脿 diff茅rentes 茅tapes de leur carri猫re et dans diff茅rents programmes de formation, 脿 s'impliquer dans leurs t芒ches d'enseignement (脿 c么t茅 de leurs t芒ches de recherche et de service) et 脿 diffuser leurs pratiques d'enseignement. Cette diffusion serait le signe de l'atteinte d'un niveau de 芦 scholarship of teaching and learning 禄 au sens de Boyer (1990), et Shulman (1999). C'est par l'articulation de deux cadres th茅oriques particuliers, celui du paradigme de l'expectancy-value (Eccles & Wigfield, 2002) et celui des travaux sur le Scholarship of Teaching and Learning que nous devrions pouvoir explorer ce processus de d茅veloppement professionnel en confrontant les typologies existantes dans la litt茅rature (Akerlind, 2008 ; Weston & McAlpine, 2001; McKinney, 2004) et en testant la pertinence des variables retenues pour influencer la dynamique motivationnelle, source d'engagement.

FRFC : Recherche d'aide et dispositifs d'accompagnement: pourquoi les 茅tudiants qui en ont le plus besoin y recourent souvent le moins ?

Direction de la recherche : Mariane Frenay, Bernadette No毛l (FUCaM) & Vincent Wertz (UCL/EPL)
Chercheur(s) : Sandrine Neuville & Julia Schmitz
Dur茅e : 2008-2011
Financement : Fonds de la recherche fondamentale collective (FRFC) - FRS/FNRS

R茅sum茅 : Cibl茅 sur un public d'茅tudiants universitaires, notre projet de recherche s'int茅resse aux comportements de recherche d'aide, aux help-seeking behaviours, entendus, d'une part, comme la demande d'aide adress茅e aux enseignants (demandes d'explications suppl茅mentaires, de conseils, ...) et d'autre part, comme le recours 脿 des services et dispositifs d'aide et d'accompagnement des 茅tudiants (monitorats, tutorats, conseillers aux 茅迟耻诲别蝉, ...).
Ce projet de recherches a pour vis茅e de se centrer sur la mise en 茅vidence et la compr茅hension des facteurs d茅terminant ces comportements de recherche d'aide. Plus sp茅cifiquement, un double objectif sera poursuivi :
1/ Etoffer les 茅迟耻诲别蝉 centr茅es sur les variables individuelles explicatives du help-seeking
2/ Etudier l'impact des facteurs contextuels sur la recherche d'aide en se centrant, d'une part, sur les sp茅cificit茅s facultaires, disciplinaires et, d'autre part, sur les caract茅ristiques des environnements universitaires.

Pandorix-Horizon d鈥檜ne Future Crise Sanitaire: Population bruxelloise et Promotion de la Sant茅

Les crises li茅es au coronavirus SRAS-CoV-2 peuvent 锚tre une opportunit茅 pour mieux se pr茅parer 脿 des 茅pisodes similaires. Les experts pr茅voient en effet des pand茅mies 芦 plus fr茅quentes, plus mortelles et plus co没teuses 禄 si rien n鈥檈st fait en mati猫re de r茅duction des risques. La r茅duction des risques n茅cessite du temps et beaucoup de concertation. Aussi, r茅fl茅chir sur les facteurs de protection constitue une strat茅gie pertinente dans l鈥檌ntervalle (entre deux crises), en particulier sous l鈥檃ngle des comportements de sant茅. Lors de la Covid-19, ce n鈥檈st pas tant la m茅connaissance des mesures 脿 adopter que leur communication et leur 芦 traduction 禄 en comportement de sant茅 par les populations qui a g茅n茅r茅 des diff茅rences au niveau des populations. La recherche PANDORIX souhaite r茅pondre 脿 la question : Quelles sont les conditions futures propices 脿 des comportements adapt茅s/ad茅quats/protecteurs en cas de pand茅mie en R茅gion Bruxelloise ? Elle propose de revenir sur la crise pr茅sente pour en tirer les enseignements puis d鈥檈nvisager l鈥檈nsemble des futurs possibles et souhaitables afin de d茅gager des balises vers ces futurs souhaitables. Pour ce faire, elle propose une approche prospective participative. Elle associe les experts de terrain, la population et les experts scientifiques. Elle recourt 脿 des m茅thodologies vari茅es, comprenant des m茅thodes qualitatives et quantitatives, en favorisant l鈥櫭﹎ulation des groupes de travail et l鈥櫭﹎ergence de l鈥檌ntelligence collective.

Pandorix-Horizon of a Future Health Crisis: The Brussels Population and Health Promotion

The crises associated with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus may provide an opportunity to better prepare for similar episodes. Experts predict "more frequent, deadlier and more costly" pandemics if nothing is done to reduce risk. Risk reduction takes time and a lot of advice. Thinking about protective factors is also a relevant strategy in the interval (between two crises), especially in terms of health behaviour. During Covid-19, it was not so much a lack of awareness of the measures to be taken, but the way in which they were communicated and 'translated' into health behaviour by the public that led to differences between populations. The PANDORIX research project aims to answer this question: What future conditions will be conducive to appropriate/adequate/protective behaviour in the event of a pandemic in the Brussels Region? It proposes to look back at the current crisis in order to learn lessons from it, and then to consider all possible and desirable futures in order to identify signposts towards these desirable futures. To do this, it proposes a prospective and participatory approach. It brings together experts in the field, the general public and scientific experts. It uses a variety of methodologies, including qualitative and quantitative methods, and encourages working groups to learn from each other and develop collective intelligence.

L鈥�'objectif principal du projet PAI7/33, coordonn茅 par Axel Cleeremans (ULB), est de contribuer 脿 la compr茅hension des m茅canismes de l鈥�'apprentissage conscient et inconscient. Plusieurs 茅quipes de pointe en Belgique et 脿 l鈥�'茅tranger travaillent conjointement dans huit projets distincts et interconnect茅s (voir ). L鈥�'UCL est impliqu茅e dans deux de ces projets, gr芒ce 脿 l鈥�'expertise dans les domaines de la vision et de la perception de Bruno Rossion (Face Categorization Lab). D鈥�'une part, nous cherchons 脿 comprendre les m茅canismes c茅r茅braux et cognitifs impliqu茅s dans l鈥�'apprentissage de nouveaux patterns visuels complexes, tels que des visages ou des objets d'鈥檈xpertise. Dans ce cadre nous examinons le r么le de facteurs intrins猫ques (nature du mat茅riel 脿 m茅moriser) et extrins猫ques (r么le du sommeil, de l鈥�'芒ge, de la pathologie, etc.). D鈥�'autre part, nous 茅valuons l鈥�'impact de l鈥�'acquisition d鈥�'un nouveau domaine d'鈥檈xpertise visuelle, comme celui de la lecture, sur un syst猫me perceptif ontog茅n茅tiquement et phylog茅n茅tiquement plus ancien, comme celui de la perception des visages. Nous mettons en place divers paradigmes utilisant l鈥�'EEG afin d鈥�'茅tudier l鈥�'hypoth猫se actuelle dans la litt茅rature d鈥�'une comp茅tition neuronale qui existerait entre ces domaines, et ce chez l鈥�'adulte (illettr茅 et lettr茅), et chez l鈥�'enfant avant et apr猫s acquisition de la lecture.

Ce PAI vise 脿 d茅velopper des recherches interdisciplinaires dans le domaine des entreprises sociales. Les entreprises sociales sont d茅finies comme des organisations qui combinent une dynamique entrepreneuriale de production de biens ou services avec la primaut茅 de leurs objectifs sociaux. Malgr茅 une recherche en plein essor dans ce domaine, il reste de nombreuses zones d鈥檕mbre concernant les motivations et les strat茅gies par lesquelles des entrepreneurs identifient des opportunit茅s d鈥檌nnovation sociale et les concr茅tisent 脿 travers des mod猫les sans finalit茅 lucrative. En outre, les recherches concernant la mani猫re dont ces mod猫les sont g茅r茅s et diffus茅s restent peu d茅velopp茅es 脿 ce jour.

Coop茅ration Wallonie-Bruxelles-Qu茅bec : 脡valuer la qualit茅 de l鈥檈nseignement, via les dossiers d鈥檈nseignement

Direction de la recherche : Mariane Frenay & Alenoush Saroyan (McGill University, Montr茅al)
Dur茅e : 2009-2011
Financement : Coop茅ration Wallonie-Bruxelles - Qu茅bec

R茅sum茅 : Ce projet de collaboration en partenariat avec McGill University sous la direction du Professeur Alenoush Saroyan vise un triple objectif : (1) comparer les politiques et proc茅dures mises en 艙uvre dans les deux universit茅s partenaires (UCL & McGill) en mati猫re d鈥檈nseignement, son d茅veloppement et sa valorisation, avec une attention particuli猫re sur les usages des dossiers d鈥檈nseignement, comme document permettant de saisir les perspectives individuelles sur l鈥檈nseignement et les r茅alisations effectives ; (2) adopter le cadre th茅orique et la m茅thodologie propos茅e par le C.H.A.T. (Cultural Historical Activity Theory) pour comprendre les 茅carts observ茅s entre politiques et pratiques effectives en interrogeant des acteurs universitaires sur la mise en 艙uvre de cette pratique et (3) formuler des balises m茅thodologiques pour soutenir le d茅veloppement professionnel des enseignants dans des contextes institutionnels et locaux sp茅cifiques et identifier des indicateurs de la qualit茅 de l鈥檈nseignement, pertinents au-del脿 de contextes culturels et g茅ographiques particuliers. Ces r茅sultats seront diffus茅s via des rencontres ouvertes 脿 la communaut茅 universitaire (Qu茅bec et Wallonie-Bruxelles) et des communication et publications scientifiques.
