Nous avons coutume de lire et d’entendre que le taux d’abandon et le taux d’échec des apprenants dans un dispositif de FOAD est supérieur à celui observé dans la formation présentielle. Ces défections ou revers peuvent être la résultante de divers facteurs dont: l'isolement de l'apprenant, un défaut d'ergonomie de l'environnement d’apprentissage (pédagogique, technologique) ou bien le manque d'autonomie de l'apprenant. Pour passer d’un système fondé sur la transmission du savoir (présentiel) à un système fondé sur l’appropriation et la création de connaissances (FOAD), il faut consentir des efforts particuliers, aussi, notre objectif est de découvrir : comment s’y prennent ceux qui vont jusqu’au bout et réussissent leur formation ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous allons investiguer les styles d’apprentissage des apprenants, qui induisent les méthodologies et stratégies d’apprentissage, ainsi que leur dimension auto- formative qui est une composante importante de la FOAD, due à l’éclatement des unités de temps, de lieu, d’action. Ainsi, nous souhaitons découvrir quels sont les styles d’apprentissage des participants d’une part, en essayant de voir quels sont ceux qui éventuellement dominent, et d’autre part, définir quelle est la capacité d’auto-apprentissage des participants dans le processus de formation ouverte et à distance. La FOAD suppose un ancrage fort dans l’humain, notamment les dimensions psycho- affectives et cognitives. Tous les participants ayant réussi leur formation, nous espérons découvrir chez eux des traits individuels, des dominantes ou constantes comportementales qui pourraient peut-être l’expliquer.

Résumé et Mots clés Thèse de Doctorat en Sciences de l’Education – Université de Toulouse II Le Mirail 2 Jean FRAYSSINHES Les pratiques d’apprentissage des adultes en FOAD : Effet des styles et de l’auto-apprentissage Abstract and Keywords In a constantly changing professional environment, employees need to train regularly, regardless of their level of initial training. We usually read and hear that the dropout and failure rate of learners in an open distance learning device is higher than that observed in the classroom training face to face. These defections or setbacks may be the result of various factors including: the isolation of the learner, poor ergonomics of learning environments (educational technology) or the lack of learner autonomy. To move from a system based on knowledge transfer (face to face) to a system based on ownership and knowledge creation (Open Distance Learning), we must make special efforts, however, our goal is to discover how they managed to complete their education and succeed? To answer this question, we will investigate the learning styles of learners, which induce the methodologies and learning strategies and their self-formative dimension that is an important component of distance learning, due to the breakdown of unit’s time, place, and action. Thus, we would discover what are the learning styles of participants on the one hand, trying to see which ones may dominate the other hand, define what is the capacity for self-learning participants in the process of open and distance learning. ODL requires a strong anchoring in the human, including dimensions psycho-emotional and cognitive. All participants who successfully completed their training, we hope to discover in their individual traits, the dominant behavioral or constants that could possibly explain.

Le choix d’un thème de recherche n’est pas totalement indépendant des interrogations du chercheur. Ce processus de FOAD, objet de la recherche, me passionne car il est en phase avec le présent et il est porteur d’avenir grâce aux nouveaux outils de communications numériques qui ne cessent de voir le jour, aussi fut-il l’élément déclencheur de ma volonté d’entamer un travail d’investigation dans ce domaine. Je remercie tout d’abord le laboratoire CREFI-T-GPE, transformé depuis le 1 er janvier 2011 en Unité Mixte de Recherche, (UMR) Education, Formation, Travail, Savoirs, (EFTS) ainsi que tous ses membres, de m’avoir accueilli en son sein, et particulièrement mon directeur de recherche, le professeur Séraphin ALAVA, pour toute l’aide qu’il m’a apportée tout au long de ce long travail, Saïd JMEL, Docteur en Mathématique, ingénieur de recherche, qui a su me guider efficacement avec compétence, gentillesse et grande courtoisie dans les méandres obscurs des analyses statistiques, Bernard BLANDIN, Directeur de recherche du CESI, spécialiste internationalement reconnu de la FOAD, pour ses conseils avisés et ses appuis relationnels auprès de structures enseignantes, Brigitte MONTFORT, Directrice du Laboratoire d’Enseignement Multimédia de l’Université de Liège pour le prêt amical de son outil ISALEM-97, le professeur Gérald STRAKA de l’Université de Brême, et son collaborateur Johannes ROSENDHAL, pour l’accord d’utilisation de la grille ALK-I, pour leur aide et la qualité scientifique de leurs échanges, Edyta BELLOUNI, ingénieur en informatique à l’Université de Toulouse II le Mirail qui m’a permis de mettre en ligne les outils d’analyse, et enfin à ma sœur Catherine, qui a su patiemment relire ce travail pour le débarrasser de sa gangue grammaticale et linguistique dans lequel il était parfois enserré. Je manifeste toute ma reconnaissance aux membres du jury : Bernard BLANDIN, Ahmed CHABCHOUB, Daniel PERAYA, qui ont accepté d’évaluer ce travail, et je leur adresse toute ma gratitude. J’adresse mes plus vifs remerciements à tous ceux qui furent, sans le savoir, les initiateurs de ce désir qui m’anime et qui ont permis l’émergence et cette aspiration de changement de paradigme : les salariés que j’ai accueillis en formation inter et intra-entreprises, mes étudiants de l’Ecole de Gestion, Commerce et Informatique de Toulouse, ainsi que mes collègues Net Trainers de l’Université de Toulouse 1 Capitole, notamment le Dr Edouard GUEVART pour son introduction auprès de ses étudiants en médecine dans le concept de FOAD du continent africain et l’aide précieuse qu’il m’a fournie. Ma reconnaissance est acquise aux multiples participants/acteurs de cette étude qui ont acceptés de donner du temps, de la réflexion et de la cognition pour répondre aux nombreuses questions posées, et sans lesquels cette thèse n’aurait été possible. J’ai une pensée particulière pour mon épouse Sima, qui a toujours su me soutenir dans mes choix et m’encourager à persévérer dans la voie que j’avais choisie, malgré les difficultés de la vie quotidienne. A mes parents, mes enfants, mes petits-enfants….

  • Consciousness Is a Thing, Not a Process
    applied sciences Opinion Consciousness Is a Thing, Not a Process Susan Pockett School of Psychology, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand; [email protected] Received: 30 October 2017; Accepted: 23 November 2017; Published: 2 December 2017 Featured Application: If the theory outlined here is correct, the construction of artificial consciousness will certainly be possible, but a fundamentally different approach from that currently used in work on artificial intelligence will be necessary. Abstract: The central dogma of cognitive psychology is ‘consciousness is a process, not a thing’. Hence, the main task of cognitive neuroscientists is generally seen as working out what kinds of neural processing are conscious and what kinds are not. I argue here that the central dogma is simply wrong. All neural processing is unconscious. The illusion that some of it is conscious results largely from a failure to separate consciousness per se from a number of unconscious processes that normally accompany it—most particularly focal attention. Conscious sensory experiences are not processes at all. They are things: specifically, spatial electromagnetic (EM) patterns, which are presently generated only by ongoing unconscious processing at certain times and places in the mammalian brain, but which in principle could be generated by hardware rather than wetware. The neurophysiological mechanisms by which putatively conscious EM patterns are generated, the features that may distinguish conscious from unconscious patterns, the general principles that distinguish the conscious patterns of different sensory modalities and the general features that distinguish the conscious patterns of different experiences within any given sensory modality are all described. Suggestions for further development of this paradigm are provided.

    Running head: HOW EFFICIENCY SHAPES HUMAN LANGUAGE 1 How Efficiency Shapes Human Language Edward Gibson1,∗, Richard Futrell2, Steven T. Piantadosi3, Isabelle Dautriche4, Kyle Mahowald, Leon Bergen5, & Roger Levy1,∗ 1Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2University of California, Irvine, 3University of California, Berkeley, 4University of Edinburgh, 5University of California, San Diego, ∗Corresponding authors: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Cognitive science applies diverse tools and perspectives to study human language. Recently, an exciting body of work has examined linguistic phenomena through the lens of efficiency in usage: what otherwise puzzling features of language find explanation in formal accounts of how language might be optimized for communication and learning? Here, we review studies that deploy formal tools from probability and information theory to understand how and why language works the way that it does, focusing on phenomena ranging from the lexicon through syntax. These studies show how a pervasive pressure for efficiency guides the forms of natural language and indicate that a rich future for language research lies in connecting linguistics to cognitive psychology and mathematical theories of communication and inference. Keywords: language evolution, communication, language efficiency, cross-linguistic universals, language learnability, language complexity HOW EFFICIENCY SHAPES HUMAN LANGUAGE 2 How Efficiency Shapes Human Language Why do languages look the way they do? Depending on how you count, there are 6000-8000 distinct languages on earth. The differences among languages seem pretty salient when you have to learn a new language: you have to learn a new set of sounds, a new set of words, and a new way of putting the words together; nevertheless, linguists have documented a wealth of strong recurring patterns across languages [1, 2].

During this time I was not alone, I was blessed with many people, who helped me and taught me, and to whom I will always be grateful. Among those people, I would like to express my gratitude first and foremost to my advisor Matthew W Crocker. He guided me through this PhD while giving me the freedom to explore the ideas that I found most interesting. From him I learned about psycholinguistics, how science works, how to structure and pursue research, among many other lessons that will help me in my life. He is an excellent person and researcher, and I feel very honoured to have him as advisor. I would also like to acknowledge the help that I received from Harm Brouwer. He provided the code to generate the situation state space that was used throughout this dissertation, as well as comments that helped during the shaping of this work. I am grateful for that. I am also very grateful to my research group, who was always eager to help and give advice.
