The aim of the project is to explore the main predictors of school disengagement in pre-adolescents, adolescents and young adults and the cognitive, affective, behavioural and social consequences. The originality of this project will be (1) to identify new predictors of psychological disengagement;

By taking into account the complexity of linguistic representations (through various linguistic levels), contexts of monitoring load (varying the tasks) and components of monitoring (internal and external) while assessing simultaneously three hypothesis and using a multi-method approach we expect to

The main objective of the current project is to investigate the neural bases of temporal preparation. The main results will be published in scientific reviews and journals. We prospect to to investigate temporal preparation in stroke patients and to conduct some neuroimaging studies. 1. Capizzi, Chi

The purpose of our research project is the development, by cooperative approach of cognitive strategies for open problem solving through primary school students that interact in immersive virtual worlds. From the perspective of learning, problem solving activity open in 3D will be conducted in-didac

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are expected to lower education costs, democratize education opportunities, and help learners’ employment and career development. To fulfill these promises, it is important to develop innovative IT-enabled strategies that can effectively motivate learners to parti

Our main purpose is to study the impact of comparisons of stimuli in order to improve conceptual learning and generalization from static pictures, or animations. Our main hypothesis is that comparisons of visual stimuli, by contrast with presentations of single stimuli, enhance learning conceptual c

Critical thinking is at the heart of the latest educational policies. Yet if educational projects multiply, there still exist only very few scientific studies assessing the methods proposed by different stakeholders in education and training. These methods themselves in the norm do not build upon th

A fundamental link between magnitude (i.e., number, size, time) on the one hand, and visuo-spatial and motor abilities on the other, has been demonstrated in the adult human brain. While much insight has been recently gained on the number-space link, the origins and developmental course of the inter

The ability to infer cause-effect relations is an important facet of learning. In particular, learning the causal effect of our behaviors provides the basis for rational decision-making and allows people to engage in meaningful life and social interactions. A number of psychological theories have b

Visual confidence refers to our ability to estimate the correctness of our visual perceptual decisions. As compared to other forms of metacognition, meta-perception has attracted a burst of studies recently, no doubt because perception already benefits from strong theoretical frameworks. We have rec

By « IEF » (« instruction en famille ») we refer to the French families who legally declare that they home educate (or homeschool : in English too there are different ways to name the phenomenon) their children who are between 6 and 16, that is to say within the age of compulsory education. Though

The ambition of the present proposal is to examine the cognitive and neuronal mechanisms of information storage in memory from the very beginning when information is present in working memory, until the late stage of sleep-dependent long-term consolidation of this information. We will investigate th

Our project studies the development of techno-semio-pedagogical competence (CTSP) for the training of language trainers in online environments using videoconferencing. The literature on online exchanges (or telecollaboration) presents results concerning, on the one hand, particular pedagogical proje

An alarming proportion (~20%) of children are from households with low socio-economic status (SES) and there is growing evidence to suggest that relative to children from high-SES families, children from low-income families are more likely to perform worse on cognitive and academic achievement tests

The human capacity for reasoning underlies our ability to be effective in our interactions with the world around us, from mundane tasks such as planning a dinner party, to modern high-stakes situations such as deciding which of a number of financial products to invest in. However, thanks especially

The project EGRESS (Educational Game about Randomness & Evolution for Students in Science) is concerned with teaching and learning of the concepts of chance and evolution in the theory of evolution for students (aged 12-15). The originality of the project is based on a strong emphasis on the plural

According to PISA 2015, approximately 20% of 15-year-old French students do not attain the baseline level of proficiency in literacy. Students with dyslexia, who manifest severe and persistent poor word decoding, low reading fluency, and poor spelling skills, are more likely than typical students no

Our project is motivated by the increasing socio-economic inequalities in the French educational system. As existing policies have failed to reduce inequalities, it is necessary to develop new tools to tackle the issue of high social inequalities at school. This research project evaluates the impact

The project aims at disentangling the differential contribution of domain-general (i.e. inhibition and attention) and domain-specific factors to the development numerical competencies such as mental arithmetic in infancy and childhood. During three consecutive years, we plan to measure four cohort

Ocular saccades are rapid shifts in gaze direction that human use to perceive the fine details of their visual environment. The plasticity of these eye movements is traditionally studied with the “double-step paradigm”, in which a visual target steps during a saccade made towards this target. After
