Résumés en anglais

RÉSUMÉS EN ANGLAIS CHAPTER 1 How college institutional assessment policies warrant inference validity of learning assessment Moyens relevés dans les politiques institutionnelles d’évaluation des apprentissages (PIEA) pour assurer la validité des inférences en évaluation des apprentissages au collégial Karine Paquette-Côté et Gilles Raîche This exploratory research is a first attempt to validate the Kane’s interpretive argument (2006) by the application of this structure to the analysis of institutional student evaluation policies (ISEP) of the college system in Quebec. One of its goals was to identify ways that can be established by the institutions to help ensure the validity of evaluation inferences in the light of student learning. A content analysis of institutional student evaluation policies (ISEP) and a schematic model were carried out starting from the Kane’s interpretive argument structure (2006), leading to the development of guidelines to seek to ensure the argumentation of the validity of evaluation inferences in the context of the evaluation of learning at the college level. 160 Des mécanismes pour assurer la validité de l’interprétation de la mesure en éducation – Volume 3 CHAPTER 2 Comparison of technological tools for Rash models data analysis Comparaison d’outils technologiques permettant l’analyse de données à l’aide des modèles de Rasch Éric Dionne, Julie Grondin et Jean-Guy Blais The modeling of measurement is an important operation that can support the construct validity in evaluation or research. Many types of software can now model the raw scores. As a part of this presentation, we present the results of a comparative analysis of two programs (RUMM2020 and Winsteps), which is as much about the ergonomics of the interface as on the estimation methods (parameters, data-models fit) or on the information produced by such softwares. The analysis shows that the two softwares differ in their user-friendliness and their utility for certain types of research, but that overall each one offers comparable results both at the measurement level and at the accuracy of the latter. CHAPTER 3 General physical ability measurement for higher education in physical education and sport in Morocco and Algeria Mesure de l’aptitude physique générale lors des épreuves de sélection pour les études supérieures en éducation physique et sport au Maroc et en Algérie Jaouad Alem, Marc Cloes, Michel Guay et Nabil Kerfes The aim of this research is to analyze the construct validity of several physical tests designed to measure the physical qualities of students interested to follow a higher education programme in physical education and sport. We have considered a sample of 1481 male students being in average 20 years old from two different countries (Morocco and Algeria). Principal component factorial analyses with varimax rotation of performance physical tests reveal rather a solution of two components that differ according to the duration of the work to produce energy, as follows: the muscular glycolitic power output and the muscular phosphagenic power output. The first component corresponds to the capacity to produce lactate within more than twelve seconds; it is defined by the speed race and the resistance race. The second component is the ability to produce phosphate which is already in muscles within less than seven seconds; it is defined by the other physical tests. CHAPTER 4 Simulation as a teaching and assessment technic in nursing : a review La simulation comme technique d’enseignement et d’évaluation en sciences infirmières: un état de la question Marie-Ève Latreille, Éric Dionne et Diana Koszycki In health care, simulation is a teaching strategy and an evaluation instrument that is frequently used. It is a good example of a performance-based Résumés en anglais 161 evaluation in a formative or summative context. In this article, we are exposing the results of several writings in regards to a variety of simulation models while demonstrating the different advantages and limits relating to nursing studies. Our findings tend to demonstrate that simulations do provide greater value in teaching techniques and allow us to obtain new data in regards to the level of understanding of the student’s knowledge.
