Risk-Taking, Prevention and Design
Most approaches that contribute to the design of life-critical systems almost only consider nominal situations where procedures can be developed and used to achieve satisfactory operations. These kinds of approaches lead to rigid ways of doing things and poorly address the needs for flexibility, especially when things go wrong. It is not a matter of human adaptation but of human systems integration (HSI) flexibility. HSI flexibility requires cross-fertilization of appropriate experiences combined with creativity. This book provides risk-management approaches and methods for combining prevention and design. Features: Discusses risk-management approaches and methods for combining prevention an...
Francophone Perspectives of Learning Through Work
This book generates a comprehensive account of ways in which practice-based learning has been conceptualized in the Francophone context. Learning for occupations, and the educational and practice-based experiences supporting it are the subject of increased interest and attention globally. Governments, professional bodies, workplaces and workers are now looking for experiences that support the initial and ongoing development of occupational capacities. Consequently, more attention is being given to workplaces as sites for this learning. This focus on learning through work has long been emphasised in the Francophone world, which has developed distinct traditions and conceptions of associations...
Design for Flexibility
Design for flexibility requires anticipation, preparation, creativity and experience. Future highly digital sociotechnical systems should contrast with those stemming from technology-centered engineering that produces objects and machines with the immensely codified and rigid practices we know today. Most of the time, current technologies are designed and developed for normal situations, leaving users to manage abnormal and emergency situations themselves, sometimes under unforeseen, extreme and/or dangerous conditions. Putting humans at the center of the design of flexible sociotechnical systems means visualizing possible futures, modeling them, simulating them and leading them down the rig...

Handbook of Human Factors in Air Transportation Systems
One of the primary applications of human factors engineering is in the aviation domain, and the importance of human factors has never been greater as U.S. and European authorities seek to modernize the air transportation system through the introduction of advanced automation. This handbook provides regulators, practitioners, researchers, and educators a comprehensive resource for understanding and applying human factors to air transportation.
Human–Systems Integration
Human–Systems Integration: From Virtual to Tangible Subject Guide: Ergonomics and Human Factors This book is an attempt to better formalize a systemic approach to human–systems integration (HSI). Good HSI is a matter of maturity... it takes time to mature. It takes time for a human being to become autonomous, and then mature! HSI is a matter of human–machine teaming, where human–machine cooperation and coordination are crucial. We cannot think engineering design without considering people and organizations that go with it. We also cannot think new technology, new organizations, and new jobs without considering change management. More specifically, this book is a follow-up of previous...
LFA 2024 - Rencontres francophones sur la Logique Floue et ses Applications
Les rencontres francophones sur la logique floue et ses applications (LFA) permettent chaque année aux chercheurs de la communauté francophone, qu’ils soient universitaires ou industriels, de partager les avancées de leurs travaux et de renforcer leurs connaissances autour des théories de l’incertain. Initialement consacrée à la théorie des sous-ensembles flous, la conférence s’est élargie à d’autres théories de l’incertain, parmi lesquelles les théories des probabilités imprécises, des fonctions de croyance, ou des possibilités. Les scientifiques jeunes et expérimentés viennent y débattre des fruits de leurs recherches, et y recueillir les avis bienveillants et c...
Le prix du travail bien fait
Réhabiliter le conflit pour améliorer la qualité du travail. La proposition n'est contradictoire qu'en apparence. Yves Clot et ses collègues montrent, à partir de trois exemples, comment le conflit autour de la qualité du travail peut devenir une méthode de coopération dans les organisations : c'est à ce prix que le travail bien fait est possible. À ce prix aussi qu'une écologie du travail devient crédible. On peut rendre sa souveraineté au travail contre tout ce qui mine la fierté de l'acte professionnel en l'écartant de la boucle de décision. Ce livre explique comment s'y essayer en instituant la coopération conflictuelle, entre salariés comme entre ces derniers et leur hiérarchie. C'est la qualité du travail qui rassemble. Dans un monde saturé de conflits, le conflit de critères autour de la qualité du travail n'a pourtant pas droit de cité, laissant le travail " ni fait ni à faire " nous abîmer et abîmer la planète.
Assessing Teacher Effectiveness
How can we really evaluate teacher effectiveness? Systems of teacher appraisal and evaluation are being created across the world in order to monitor and assess teacher performance. But do the models used really give a fair evaluation? Based on international research, the authors argue that teacher effectiveness is too narrowly conceptualised and methods of measuring it are not attuned to the real contexts in which teachers work. They propose a model of differential teacher effectiveness which takes into account that: * teachers may be more effective with some categories of students than with others * teachers may be more effective with some teaching contexts than others * teachers may be more effective with some subjects or components than with others. Building on and developing previous research on models of teacher effectiveness and current theories, the authors open up possible new debates which will be of interest to academics and researchers working in this area throughout the world.
