Les enfants de l'autonomie : révéler et accoucher les potentialités de l'enfant


Book Description

Ce livre part du postulat suivant : l'enfant naît avec toutes les potentialités nécessaires dans la vie. Le rôle principal des parents et des éducateurs n'est pas tant de lui transmettre un savoir extérieur - bien que cela soit nécessaire aussi -, que e lui permettre de révéler et d'accoucher du potentiel dont il est déjà porteur... A partir de ce principe de base, l'auteur aborde trois grandes questions : comment faire accoucher l'enfant de son autonomie (physique, émotionnelle, mentale, spirituelle) ? Comment l'accompagner pour que ses crises de croissance deviennent des " initiations " qui l'aident à grandir et à mûrir ? Comment reconnaître, grâce à nos enfants, les blessures qu'il nous reste à guérir de notre petite enfance ? L'auteur se fonde sur un cheminement qu'il vit avec sa femme Ananou Thiran, en tant que chercheurs en DYNARSYS, mais aussi en tant que parents. Ce livre s'adresse non seulement aux individus ayant une responsabilité éducative (parents, éducateurs, enseignants, pédopsychiatres, psychologues, etc.), mais aussi à ceux qui veulent mieux comprendre leur propre histoire d'enfant...

Conceptual Basis, Formalisations and Parameterization of the Stics Crop Model


Book Description

The STICS crop model has been developed since 1996 at INRA in collaboration with other research and technical institutes. The model syntheses, illustrates and concretizes an important part of the French agronomic knowledge as a point of view on the field and cropping systems working. The formalisations of the STICS crop model presented in this book can be considered as references used in the framework of crop sciences. The book arrangement relies on the way the model designs the crop-soil system functioning, each chapter being devoted to a set of important functions such as growth initiation, yield onset, water uptake, transformation of organic matter etc. One chapter deals with the cropping system and long term simulations and the final chapter is about the involvement of the user in terms of option choices and parameterization. If this book is mainly intended for scientists who use the STICS model, it can also be useful for agronomists, crop modellers, students and technicians looking for elementary formalizations of the crop-soil system functioning.
