This paper reports on research in the teaching of Physical and Sports Education (PSE) which aims to question the use of verbal interventions in the teaching of EPS, depending on whether the teacher is a specialist or not in the physical and sporting activity (PSA) that he teaches. The purpose of this study is to provide a detailed description of intervention practices. They include describing to what extent and how knowledge is staged. Our case studies reflect the effects of the expertise which structures professional skills in relation to the test and knowledge. The teaching of Kais is indicative of his expertise in volleyball, he articulates his own logic of expert to that of the student and the activity, Ramzi non-specialist teacher relies more on logic inherent in his footballer’s sporting experience, to his knowledge of the students as well as that of the discipline of volleyball (Touboul, 2011). These results are interpreted and discussed in the light of these contexts and the professional uniqueness of Kais and Ramzi.

Some of the main challenges faced in accounting education are developing professional skills and encouraging deep learning in students. The literature offers numerous accounts of the case study method as a successful tool for developing professional skills and linking theory with practice. This paper reports on a follow-up study which aimed to contribute to the field in three ways: 1) in corroborating the findings of a prior study on case studies as a tool to develop professional skills, 2) by investigating whether changes in the way the case study was administered had an effect on students’ perceived development, and 3) by gaining some insight into the actual learning that took place by analyzing the assessment outcomes. The findings show that the changes in the way the assignment was administered had no significant effect on the perceptions of students, but that team selection and the provision of homework assistance should be carefully considered. The assessment results support students’ generally positive perceptions on their development of certain professional skills, although deep learning seems to remain a challenge. The paper highlights the importance of research in the field of teaching and learning in accounting education in order to better equip accounting students for the “real world”.

Football has a long history and it is the most popular sport on the planet. However, football has not just remained a sporting activity. It has been long used a political instrument to repress and suppress and also as a tool of resistance. The arena of football is also used as an avenue to assert one’s identity. This paper looks at how a local football team was seen as a medium to assert one’s identity by Gorkha population residing in the plains of North Bengal and Bhutan. This paper is based on the reflexive account of a player’s experience. It is based on two case studies to draw correlation between identity and football.

The question of what makes for effective teacher professional development in ICT is an enduring one. In a recent study in Queensland (Australia), we visited 19 rural and regional schools and interviewed teachers, administrators and ICT coordinators to find that a school-based practicum was effective in impacting the practice and beliefs of individual teachers. This article, through reference to our field study findings and briefly describing four of its case studies, concludes that the practicum's success is related to the situative nature of this professional development. The findings of the study have implications for professional development programs aimed at increasing the use and integration of ICT in classrooms.

La communication propose un retour critique sur des dispositifs de formation liés aux métiers de communication. Elle s’attache à questionner les référentiels qui servent à cadrer ces professions et la mise en objectifs pédagogiques des compétences identifiées. Les dispositifs au cœur des formations évoquées ici font largement appel à des modalités permettant de faire « entrer le réel ». Nous interrogeant sur le « pourquoi ça marche », nous mettons en évidence combien il s’agit de repenser l’articulation théorie/pratique sans les opposer. Au-delà de cette articulation, nous considérons que la création d’espaces collectifs de dialogue contribue à favoriser une réflexivité et une meilleure appropriation des compétences professionnelles. This paper presents a critical review of vocational training systems and arrangements in the field of communication. Competencies frameworks used in order to guide trainings and to define educational objectives are therefore examined. The training practices mentioned in this article aim to bring “professional reality” in the educative process whether through case studies or through real projects (i.e. orders from professional partners from enterprises or external institutions). Questioning our practices (how does it work?) this leads us to examine the articulation between theory and practice considering that these two aspects are not contradictory. Beyond this articulation lies the assumption that dialogue and exchanges between learners – and therefore creating spaces of discussion as an important part of the training design and setting – enhance a reflexive comportment and thus a better appropriation of professional skills.

We have produced six problem solving case studies which have been designed inorder to teach analytical and applied chemistry within a ‘real’ life context bydeveloping problem solving and professional skills. The case studies use the contexts of forensic science, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, and industrial chemistry. They present students with extended problems that are set in a ‘real’ context with incomplete or excessive data, and require independent learning, evaluation of data and information and, in some cases, do not lead to a single ‘correct’ answer. By tackling these cases, students are able to see the relevance of analytical chemistry and so approach the activities with enthusiasm and interest. In order to successfully tackle a case study, students must develop a range of professional skills such as communication, team work, project management, etc.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.
