Contribution des Techniques Andragogiques au Succês de la Formation Continue : Cas de la Mise en Œuvre des Objectifs de Développement Durable au Benin

Dans cet article, le travail a consisté à mesurer l’atteinte des objectifs de la formation et à analyser la perception que les participants ont de leurs acquis de formation. Ainsi, cette recherche a pour but d’apprécier le recours aux techniques andragogiques dans la formation des formateurs d’adultes dans un centre de formation professionnelle continue. La démarche méthodologique adoptée est mixte. Le recensement exhaustif des 12 formateurs en Objectifs de Développement durable (ODD) conviés au renforcement de leurs capacités est fait. Il y en a eu 10 qui ont accepté de participer à l’enquête. La collecte des données a été réalisée grâce à un questionnaire (fiche d’évaluation de la formation) ayant servi à voir leur niveau de satisfaction et un guide d’entretien pour connaître la perception des participants sur l’atelier de formation. L'analyse catégorielle a permis de traiter les données qualitatives et de répartir les différentes réponses dans des ensembles en fonction de leur signification et de leur interprétation contextuelle. Majoritairement, les participants formateurs sont totalement satisfaits des modules de formation en andragogie qui, avec les notions enseignées en ODD, permettront l’amélioration de leurs pratiques. Plus de 70% des participants ont aimé l’organisation matérielle et plus de 80% ont nettement apprécié le déroulement de la formation. Il importe donc de former les formateurs à l’approche andragogique pour renforcer leurs capacités dans la compréhension et l’interprétation des ODD comme stratégie pour l’atteinte des objectifs de formation. In this article, the work consisted of measuring the achievement of training objectives and analyzing participants' perception of their training outcomes. Thus, the purpose of this research is to assess the use of andragogic techniques in the training of adult trainers in a continuing vocational training centre. The methodological approach adopted is mixed. The exhaustive census of the 12 trainers in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) invited to strengthen their capacities is done. There were 10 who agreed to participate in the survey. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire (training score sheet) used to see their level of satisfaction and an interview guide to find out how participants perceived the training workshop. Categorical analysis made it possible to process qualitative data and to divide the different responses into sets according to their meaning and contextual interpretation. For the most part, the training participants are completely satisfied with the training modules in andragogy which, together with the concepts taught in the SDGs, will allow the improvement of their practices. More than 70% of the participants liked the material organization and more than 80% clearly appreciated the course of the training. It is therefore important to train trainers in the andragogic approach to strengthen their capacities in understanding and interpreting the SDGs as a strategy for achieving training objectives.

EFFICACY OF MUSIC THERAPY FOR PROMOTING SOCIABILITY IN A CHILD WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER

A twenty two year old individual, showing deficits in the emotional regulation and socially-apt behavior was referred for this case study by his special educator. The Sociability Domain of the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC) was used pre and post the intervention. The intervention was based on the Guided Focus Program designed as part of music therapy at Karachi Vocational Training Centre for Intellectually Challenged. The intervention phase lasted for 3 months (36 sessions and each session was of 45 minutes). The participant showed significant changes in the sociability domain of Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC). This case contributes to the evidence base for the efficacy of Music Therapy. However, further research is needed to confirm its long term efficiency while comparing it to other alternative treatments.

Social representations of children's rights: The point of view of adolescents

This article deals with social representations of children's rights, analysed in a sample of Italian adolescents with differing educational experiences. A questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 410 Italian adolescents aged between 13 and 17 attending four different types of school: lower middle school, high school, technical college and vocational training centre. The questionnaire contained an open-ended question on the rights of children and adolescents and a structured part concerning: attribution of responsibility to five agencies (government, family, school, voluntary associations and the police force), the degree to which rights are respected in Italy, reference values and explanations for violations of rights. The results show that representations of children's rights are organised differently in the four groups of subjects as a function of the dynamic interplay of social, personal and educational experiences.
