L'état breton, de Jean V à la duchesse Anne
Collection "Les Bretons et leur Histoire"
Les succès, incontestables a
La Bretagne du 15e siècle connaît une tentative de création d'un Etat, sous l'autorité de ducs qui mènent une politique parfois subtile d'équilibre entre le roi de France et les autres souverains d'Europe occidentale.

As momentum builds for the introduction of reflective practice, the educational and management worlds
Improving the effectiveness of pupil group work: report on first results from the TLRP phase 2 SPRin
The main impetus for the SPRinG (Social Pedagogic Research into Grouping) project was to address the wide gap between the potential of group work to influence learning, motivation and attitudes to learning, and relationships in the classroom, on the one hand, and the limited use of group work in schools, on the other hand. Pupils rarely receive training in group working, and teachers are often unsure of its benefits and place in the curriculum. The SPRinG project was therefore set up to develop,
