    Abstract

    Conducted in a complex context, the pedagogical research has the moral purpose of improving the quality of education, by capturing certain relationships between the existing variables. Professional ethics in educational research can be understood as a set of values, principles, rights and obligations of the researchers involved in this professional field. The development of ethical and conduct codes of research in the field of education is a necessity on condition that the world of science values academic integrity. The present study is premised by the question "What are the reference points we must ethically refer to in scientific research?". Analyzing research from an ethical point of view, we designed a technological model in order to systematize the knowledge related to the existing codes of conduct and to guide the actions characteristic to educational research, thus identifying the fundamental ethical principles.

    Abstract

    In the present era, technologies populate higher education institutes. Thinking about this intersection between teaching and new technology leads us to an understanding of the issues, challenges, constraints and horizons of this interweaving as paths towards a fertile encounter. To do this, our study is based on the pedagogies of the teaching the specific audio-visual, intended for a professional masters group specialization "audiovisual for the education child", as a corpus of study analyzed on both sides this article. In this sense, we start from differentiated pedagogy as a model of learning to finish thinking of new paths conceptualized by a technopedagogy. These tracks are seen as solutions to the perfection of the act of teaching conceived in its cognitive and creative dimension.

    Abstract

    Every domain of knowledge requires a certain level of perceiving data, knowledge, realities. That’s why it differs how areas specific to exact science can be easier investigated with the help of quantitative research methods, while areas of social knowledge (including Education Sciences) need. Educational research has supportive value for practitioners in education and acts as a booster for didactic innovation. There is a logic in the investigating demarche of pedagogical research, the way we can understand the necessity of carrying out some sine-qua-non conditions for performing a research that is at the same time original, ethical and qualitative.

    Abstract

    The deontological dimension of innovative research in the teaching of a foreign language grammar oriented on the needs of a learner, a future foreign language teacher. Description of case study in the frame of a research project task targeted to the innovation of teaching grammar of Romance languages in study programs of future Romance language teachers. Theoretical and practical problems of innovation of language teaching at the university by an eclectic use of general linguistic ideas to reinvent the application of the contrastive method of analysis by an updated enunciative linguistic approach, constructing a bilingual parallel corpus, and reflecting metalinguistic description of native language and foreign language. Selection of verbal phrases with prepositions in Romance languages, French and Spanish, to specifically point out one of the examples of systemic differences between analytical isolation Romance languages and flective synthetic Slavic languages. Rigorous critic attitude in the choice of linguistic theory that can be applied in realizing the student-oriented contrastive handbook of Romance languages and Slovak language verb constructions. Creation of innovated enunciative approach based on core ideas of E. Benveniste with the active use of computational linguistics knowledge in the construction of the bilingual parallel corpus. Highlighting the contrastive linguistic phenomena by application of detailed sentence schemes on the contextualized target language phrases reflecting Slovak tradition of metalinguistic description.

    Abstract

    The use of photographic images in research work in the social sciences in general and history in particular shows epistemological and technical shortcomings in their manipulation and presentation. This general observation is made in the eleven departments of history that includes all public universities in Cameroon. Thus, the obsolescence and the lack of epistemological uniformity of the different methodologies developed in these departments of historical studies pose the problem of how to evaluate the relevance of photographic images in research work. This anxiety only has an effect on the young researcher. Having no formal well-groomed base to grip on, they make use of all the facilities, digital and innovative facilities for processing and manipulating images to meet the ideal requirement of potential evaluators. By the use of the hypothetic-deductive method, it turns out that, in the absence of professional methodological standards updated and adapted to new technologies, this situation makes the young researcher the sole copyright master of the images he proposes in the works. This hinders somewhat epistemological ideology of Cameroonian historiography. Hence the interest of the perspective of accountability, reflexivity, objectivity and honesty, defining features of young researchers in history in Cameroon.

    Abstract

    The current medical practice is no longer limited as in the past strictly to the application of curative treatment. It focuses on the information provided by the patient, the way s/he describes the symptoms, as well as the patient's wishes regarding the results of the treatment to be applied. The patient's perception of the medical record is especially important because it guides the doctor in choosing an appropriate treatment plan, but it also helps him/her adopt a behaviour that is shaped by the patient's temperament and personality. Establishing the medical history is the first step to be taken during the first visit to the medical centre, it is necessary to be renewed yearly, because changes can occur both in the systemic health plan and at the psycho-sociobehavioral level. Achieving this through the interview is an effective method of psychoanalysis, having a number of advantages, including: the analysis of the verbal and non-verbal communication of the patient, the strengthening of the doctor-patient relationship through the active exchange of information, flexibility. However, for a good accuracy of the information collected after the interview it is recommended to combine it with the questionnaire method. The combination of the two methods has the role of eliminating the subjectivism that can arise during the discussions and has the advantage of giving the clinician the possibility to build a database that can be accessed by both the medical staff and the patient.

    Abstract

    We highlight the importance of the editing of scientific paperwork as the correct drafting of the scientific papers is very important, because the way the findings of scientific research are transmitted and their practical use lead to fast and efficient communication between specialists. The quality and accuracy of language, the lack of grammatical errors, following the norms of the scientific style, is imperatively imposed. Moreover, it is about complying with the copyright, highlighting the scientific values in the field, in the sense of promoting the norms of stylistic language of research as a new set of values.

    Abstract

    Pedagogical research is an action underpinning observation and investigation that allows for the awareness, improvement or innovation of the educational phenomena. The educational research methodology is one of the subjects in the curricullum of the teacher training programme - Level II, provided by Departments of Teacher Training. The aim is to develop the competence of preservice teachers regarding the design, planning and conducting of research in the educational field, and capitalizing on their results. Based on the assumption that a scientific paper following a research process is the proof of the level and quality of professional training, highlighting a synthetic correlation between basic knowledge and the practical-methodological skills that the Master's students have acquired during the initial training programme (Level I), the current paper represents an investigative approach meant to provide data regarding the Master's students' perception of the requirements for the writing and editing of scientific papers.

    Abstract

    The research design and conducting underpins a complex approach, which involves a series of stages, each based on specific actions. The quality of the investigation carried out also depends on solid scientific information mining, which should capitalize on different categories of sources, comply with rigorous criteria and requirements regarding selection, exploitation and citation. The present paper addresses the issue of information mining - an important stage in the pedagogical research, as envisaged from the perspective of the prospective (pre-service) teachers, who are developing research skills. The sample was made up of 80 Master’s students at the Faculty of Letters, University of Craiova, who are in the first year of teacher training, Level II. The research methods used were the questionnaire-based survey and the focus-group interview. We administered a survey to the subjects in the sample, and we also conducted a focus-group interview with 20 Master’s students. The research findings confirmed the relevance of this stage for the rigorous reseach design.

    Abstract

    The consultation of the sources with a view to writing a scientific paper and carrying out research represents an essential condition and stage, securing a successful activity, which meets the rigour and requirements of such an endeavour. Information mining or documentation itself is subject to requirements and rigour which must, on the one hand, ensure an adequate selection of the sources and, on the other hand, an appropriate use of them. Lately, the volume, but also the diversity of these sources, have made this approach difficult. The difficulty is also increased by the need to carry out critical analyzes of the consulted works, which identify the successful and less successful aspects, resolved ones, or of the previous experiences. For teachers conducting research and writing scientific papers, this can be a serious challenge. The present study aims to investigate the necessity and possibility of a critical analysis of the bibliographic sources by the teachers who undertake investigative approaches. The sample of subjects on which the investigation was carried out consisted of 120 school-based teachers, of different specializations, in pre-university education, who sat in for the examination for the first teaching degree at the University of Craiova in the session of February 2019. The research method used was the questionnaire-based survey, the research tool being an opinion questionnaire. The results of the investigation highlighted the importance of the critical analysis of the documentation sources by the teachers who carry out theoretical or experimental research.
