College
The R rating - Do not shoot at college students. In its current form, the R rating is indeed an obstacle to academic success Jacques Roy - Professor and researcher at the Cégep de Sainte-Foy and the Observatory of Youth and Society 27 September 2010. With colleagues in colleges and universities, I drive work on academic achievement in colleges since 2001. Among the irritants cited by college students as part of our studies included a provision for regular performance rating at the college, known colloquially rated R. A closer examination of this provision we found that application of this measure in its current form is unfair and random for college students, it ill serves the academic success as well as being very detrimental in the long term some students in their school careers, especially for those who choose to head to college. Let me explain. A bureaucratic stupidity. The R rating is essentially a mechanism for the selection of students of the college system in different academic programs. It is administered by the Conference of Rectors and Principals of Quebec Universities (CREPUQ). It is somehow "imposed" the college system for selection purposes. The main problem of application of the R rating - and it's size - is that a student has not completed all the evaluations of a course, either because he left the course before the time allowed for not having a failure to his nomination or that he was excluded from a course by his department because of a high number of absences, see the note he had accumulated in the course, the time of withdrawal, relative to 100%. Thus, students who have accumulated 40 points on 50 at the time of the withdrawal or expulsion, will placed on the ballot, the note "40%": 40 of the 50 is reported in 100% mechanically. "Very good" it was (40 of 50 represents a score of 80%), the same student becomes a "dunce"! Thus, the rating of "40%", which has nothing to do with an assessment of student learning, will always remain the newsletter, even if the student takes the course successfully. Contrary to the Criminal Code includes provisions to help in some cases to remove a criminal record, the student's grade remains for life. Influence success. Applying This document carries consequences throughout the academic progress of students. However, its consequences are not visible to college students and professors. This explains in part the lack of awareness and mobilization against this detrimental to the academic success of college students. This is often some years later that a student will measure all the consequences when, for example, its R rating will be insufficient to return such department or faculty in such university or, for a program change or college. Thus, in some academic programs with high quota, it is sometimes necessary little in terms of the R rating, to make the difference between admission and denial; few decimal points can make a difference. But a student who, for example, dropped two courses (or who has scored too many absences in these courses) will have his score vary enough to make a difference. Therefore, the school trajectories become more complex and perverse and negative rated R add up over time. As to count students who hold tangible consequences (an argument for maintaining this measure), there always will be, by definition, difficult to estimate because of the diversity of paths school. Fair and equitable. In recent years, CREPUQ attempts to overcome these disadvantages. For example, when a program change, we will choose the best rated R by either program (or others). Also, students will have their first session rated as worth less than the aggregated scores thereafter. But this is "adjustments" applied to a structure totally unfair assessment of school students. This is the logic of the measure itself must be changed! In fact, it is miles away from one of the fundamental principles of political evaluation "fair" and "fair" learning in colleges. Intellectually, it is quite indefensible to report a score of 100%, while all the assessments were not performed. To my knowledge, there is a unique phenomenon in the college system. Both the elementary and secondary or university, we do not report a partial score of 100%. At university, we indicate, for example, the word "abandonment with failure", without adding a note to school with no real meaning to the student newsletter. Why not do as the university network? After all, the college is also part of higher education! Why what is good and just one would do it not for the other? Especially since, quantitatively, the pool of other grades is more than enough to rigorously evaluate the educational value of student eligibility for university or other college programs. Currently, proponents of this measure believe that it ensures that students leave the course before completion, thus avoiding a failing grade newsletter. To counter the problem, they have developed a cure that is twice as bad as the problem identified. Because the R rating does not reflect the degree of learning of the student; rather, it defies every principle of fair and objective evaluation. It is as if we had given birth to a "bureaucratic monster" that periodically tries to dress to make it more suitable for successive revisions. In fact, in its current form, the R rating is indeed an obstacle to academic success! www.ledevoir.com/societe/education/296962/la-cote-r-ne-tirons-pas-sur-les-cegepiens At the end of the article, there are comments from readers including this one This Carl Brabant. A rating with a largely arbitrary. To calculate the R rating, it involves a data called strength index group. The student has very little control over this element (1/number total students). Accordingly, the results are colorful and sometimes torpedoed by an administrative action before which he is totally helpless. Given the greater difficulty of the boys to comply with the rules and comply with the R rating severely punishes any deviation from academic career. That may be their fault but in this game, boys usually end up losing out to girls. Statistics for admission to the university are there to prove it.

Academic Achievement in College: guys and girls: same universe One study found differences between boys and girls in college there, but are not significant. In college, the differences between boys and girls who do well are not huge. Rather, when students are struggling as the gap: the reasons that cause them to abandon the college are often quite different. That's the conclusion of a study conducted by the team of sociologist Jacques Roy, who teaches at the Cégep de Sainte-Foy. The aim of the research, funded by the Ministry of Education, was to determine the extent to which boys and girls who come through the doors of colleges are different and how to intervene if necessary. Over 600 college students in 27 colleges were interviewed. Jacques Roy concludes that differences exist between boys and girls, but they are not significant enough to say that they operate in "parallel universes". Girls engage in their studies more conformist, bending the rules, while boys maintain a more distanced. "When the teacher introduced the lesson plan, girls often ask questions to understand teacher requirements and better compliance while the guys will ask questions to challenge the more points awarded for such work or as consideration for example, "he says. But these differences are superficial, however. When asked about their values - a "fertile ground for distinguishing between girls and boys" - the answers are similar. Values related to family, happiness, well-being and pride of place near the top of the list in both camps. Other similarities allow Jacques Roy to conclude that there is no need to modify instructional approaches to teach differently by gender. "It is not of difference in learning, "he said. But in the ranks of students in difficulty, "it's a different story," says Roy. The gender differences are much larger. Boys are twice as likely to say that the lack of interest in education and time spent at work could cause them to abandon college, while among girls, are learning difficulties that appear as the main obstacle . The stress level is also much higher in CEGEP, twice more girls than boys said they were "very stressed" by their studies. To better target interventions for troubled boys, individual meetings, for example, Roy proposes to focus on motivation. "It takes them back to things that can arouse their interest, for they get on their studies," he said. But to say that schoolboys and schoolgirls are moving in two "parallel universes", there is a big step that the researcher refuses to cross. "Ultimately, we realize that there are more differences between the guys who do well and those who are at risk between boys and girls in general," he concludes. www.cyberpresse.ca/le-soleil/actualites/education/201009/24/01-4326464-reussite-scolaire-au-cegep-gars-et-filles-meme-univers.php

postsecondary students more indebted than ever . A report by the Canadian Council on Learning released Wednesday reveals that the average debt of a university graduate has reached $ 26,680 last year, while that of a college graduate was $ 13 600. From 1995 to 2005, the proportion of students who must repay a loan after graduation increased from 49% to 57%, the report adds. "This growth in debt levels coincides with the recent announcement that the Canadian student loans had risen for the first time, its ceiling of 15 billion, requiring an allocation of additional funds, "says the Canadian Council on Learning. Highlights from the Canadian Council on Learning. About 60% of university graduates and 45% of college graduates have accumulated some debt. Debt of undergraduate studies in Canada has doubled during the 1990s, from $ 12 271 in 1990 to $ 24 706 in 2000. Since then, the average student debt has increased, however, only 9%. A third of graduates who consolidated their loans in 1994-1995 failed to meet their commitments in the 10 years that followed. The youth from high income families are more than twice as likely to attend university than their peers from families with low incomes, despite the Canada Student Loans. Under the scheme of federal loans, a borrower ends up in default of repayment after nine months late. Overdue loans are transferred to collection agencies that may use aggressive methods. A loan default may also reduce the creditworthiness of the borrower. www.radio-canada.ca/nouvelles/National/2010/09/22/001-dettes_etudes_postsecondaires.shtml

Education Men fear the classrooms of elementary school. men shudder at the idea of teaching in primary schools for fear of being labeled as gays or have pedophile tendencies, study finds Ontario university. Teachers share their experience in the document published this week by Nipissing University in North Bay. "Do not come near any student! As a man, you're more likely to be under suspicion, and you must be wiser than a woman, "testified one of the participating university researchers. Another teacher mentions the disadvantages of the profession for a man. "I held the hand of a girl and I was said at once to watch while it is in women every day, "said one of the 223 male respondents who were loaned to the analysis. These fears were behind a major imbalance in resources. The teaching staff in primary schools in Ontario is 90% women. A similar situation was observed in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain, the study says. Educators and citizens emphasize the importance of men in education to improve learning for boys and serve as a model follow, the study notes. The researchers recommend that the world of education focuses on the fears of male educators to eliminate negative attitudes towards them, and those associated with men who want to enter the profession. http://lejournaldequebec.canoe.ca/journaldequebec/actualites/national/archives/2010/09/20100924-184515.html
