La qualité de la recherche scientifique s’évalue non seulement par son impact positif sur le développement socio-économique et le bien-être humain, mais également par sa contribution à l’élaboration des connaissances scientifiques valides et fiables. De ce fait, les chercheurs, quelle que soit leur discipline scientifique, sont censés adopter des pratiques de recherche basées sur la transparence et la rigueur. Or l’histoire des sciences et la littérature scientifique nous apprennent qu’une part importante des résultats scientifiques n’est pas reproductible de façon systématique (Ioannidis, 2005)1. Cela renvoie à ce qui est communément connu sous le nom de la « crise de réplication » qui concerne aussi bien les sciences de la nature que les sciences humaines et sociales, dont la psychologie ne fait pas exception. Dans cet article, nous présentons d’abord certains aspects de la crise de réplication et les pratiques de recherche douteuses. Puis, nous abordons la manière dont nous pouvons impliquer plus de laboratoires en Afrique dans la recherche scientifique mondiale, notamment le Psychological Science Accelerator (PSA). Dans ce sens, nous développerons un tutoriel pour les laboratoires en Afrique, en mettant en avant les pratiques de la science ouverte. Enfin, nous discutons de comment rendre la science psychologique plus participative et inclusive.

This research investigated the effects of attitude and beliefs, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control on parents’ home-based and school-based involvement in child education. The paper reports quantitative findings from a cross-sectional survey based on a concurrent mixed design. Primary data was collected from five hundred and sixty (560) parents who were selected randomly from deprived and non-deprived districts across six regions of Ghana. The Cronbach α of reliability for attitude and belief, perceived behavioural control, subjective norm, home-based and school-based involvement exceeded the minimum threshold. Results from structural equation modelling analysis based on a bootstrapping technique reveal that the model of the study was confirmed, as the data showed equivalence to model assessment measures including CFI = 0.979, TLI = 0.975, GFI = 0.942, AGFI = 0.922, RMSEA = 0.049, χ2/df = 2.292. The finding of the study indicated that attitude and beliefs, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control of parents significantly impact home-based involvement, whiles perceived behavioural control and subjective norms of parents had significantly impact on school-based involvement.

Language policy and planning (LPP) has undergone an epistemological turn. Early LPP works approached linguistic diversity as a problem; especially for the newly independent states, but in today’s globalized world, multilingualism is the norm. A major issue that characterizes contemporary LPP in Morocco and needs further investigation is the interaction between macro-policies and local practices. Most top down language policies face resistance from speech communities. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the role of micro-planning and local agents in implementing a workable language policy. The aim is to reduce the gap between LPP research and local practices by using an ethnographic approach. Ruiz orientational model and Spolsky’s management theory provide a rich theoretical framework. Micro-planning can translate central policies into local practices.

The secondary school performance of Ghomara’s students (coastal area of Chefchaouen province, Rif Mountain, Morocco) is deeply influenced by the cultivation of cannabis practiced by many Ghomarian families. To highlight this relationship, a field study was conducted with students, their parents, and other stakeholders through the adoption of a quantitative and qualitative sociological approach. It then appears that most of the students, especially boys, from cannabis families had annual averages assessment marks (AAM) less than 10/20. These marks do not allow them to continue their schooling. In addition, other factors are added to aggravate the already precarious situation, such as the need for manpower to carry out family farming activities, the social reluctance towards education, the inadequacy of education system to the labour market and the mistrust of the local population to the reforms of the national education system recently proposed by the government.

Les cursus de formation des enseignants incluant des stages de terrain sont parmi les variables d’ajustement des systèmes éducatifs. Au Maroc, les stagiaires achèvent des activités pratiques qui relèvent de multiples dispositifs de formation. Cependant, les établissements de stage ont montré une faible contribution pour assurer le développement professionnel. Une méta-analyse de trente documents a été effectuée pour établir l’état actuel des formations pratiques des enseignants de demain. Les résultats montrent une insuffisance des stages en formation initiale pour acquérir le métier d’enseignant. Les activités en situation réelle mises en œuvre dans les centres de formation présentaient de multiples indices de réussite par rapport à celles adoptées pour le recrutement régional. Les établissements d’accueil font face à des contraintes structurales.

La formation continue des enseignants au Maroc a pris des formes multiples et diversifiées sur le plan organisationnel et fonctionnel. Aussi le recours à la formation continue reste-t-il, malgré tout, faible et n’atteint généralement pas les résultats escomptés. Actuellement, les CRMEF[1] sont les seules entités chargées de la formation du personnel du MEN[2] (enseignants, administrateurs, techniciens…). Cette mission, parmi d’autres, attribuée aux CRMEF est dans sa phase d’implémentation. En effet, la formation continue des enseignants, qui constitue la mission phare des CRMEF, n’a pas encore pris l’élan qu’il faut. S’agit-il d’un blocage institutionnel, financier, ou pédagogique ? Rappelons que, selon le décret en vigueur, les CRMEF et les AREF[3] doivent coordonner entre eux pour réaliser cette mission. Or, il est plus facile de dire que de faire. Nous allons montrer à travers l’expérimentation du dispositif de formation continue de la langue française durant l’année scolaire 2014/2015, l’importance de la prise en compte de certaines dispositions notamment : la qualité du dispositif de formation, le type de motivation attendu par les bénéficiaires, le processus de changement des représentations des concernés, pour garantir une formation qui pourrait avoir un impact positif sur le système. La nature de la nouvelle formule de formation est permanente, hebdomadaire et assurée au CRMEF selon un créneau horaire négocié.   [1] Les centres régionaux des métiers de l’Education et de la Formation.

Transformational leadership is an ideal characteristic which enables the principals to engage with followers and raise consciousness about the significance of specific outcomes and new ways in which those outcomes might be achieved. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of principals’ intellectual stimulation on student academic performance in Kenya Certificate Secondary Examination (K.C.S.E) in Makueni County, Kenya. The objective that guided the study was to: assess how the principals’ intellectual stimulation influences students results at Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. with the hypothesis that there is no relationship between principals’ intellectual stimulation with students’ mean scores at Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education Makueni County, Kenya. The study used transformational leadership theory by Burns (1978) which has four dimensions namely idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration; all of which are critical in determining academic achievement. The conceptual framework of this study is based on the relationship between the principal transformational with academic performance. The sample comprised of 111 principals, 729 teachers and 12 Ministry of Education officials drawn from 388 secondary schools. Questionnaires and interview guide were used to collect data. Validation of the questionnaires were through test re-test method and use of expert judgment. The coefficient value was 0.85 at alpha = 0.05. Data was analysed using both descriptive Pearson’s correlation coefficient that test showed a strong correlation for Intellectual stimulation and KCSE students’ mean scores. The result indicated a negative and strong correlation between intellection stimulation and students’ KCSE performance (r=-.195, p-value<0.05) respectively. It was concluded that principals’ collective sense of mission and valuing ideas of the followers increased performance. The following recommendations were made: KEMI to carry out transformational leadership seminars for the principals on intellectual practices. The Ministry of Education Policy makers should establish policies on transformational leadership. Teacher trainers especially the universities ought to review curriculum to include analysis of school managers and also have simulated situations.
