ADIÓS CORONA

By Virginie Courtier-Orgogozo, researcher in evolutionary genetics, CNRS Research Director, and Claire Wyart, neuroscience researcher, INSERM Research Director

How can we make a success of this transition phase and avoid a virulent rebound? This site summarizes information on COVID-19 based on scientific publications, and divides it into two parts: «understanding» and «acting». In the second part, the authors offer practical advice on how to halt the spread of the virus and return to a safe social life (visiting vulnerable relatives, building or choosing a mask, interacting with people at work, etc.).

HOME STRESS HOME

A digital portal from researchers at the Institut de Santé de l'Université de Mons in Belgium

The Institut de Santé de l'Université de Mons has created a website dedicated to children, teenagers and young adults to help them cope with the anxiety and stress generated by COVID-19. These «scientists at the service of society» have created a free digital portal that offers entry by age group (3-7, 8-11, 12-17, 18-25). Each user follows a three-step path: 1/ I get information 2/ I test myself 3/ I take care of myself. This pathway is based on a survey validated internationally by scientific psychologists, and gives rise to an individual follow-up program tailored to age and stress level. What's more, by using this portal, you'll be contributing to the advancement of science: «the data from this survey will be collected confidentially to enable researchers to better understand the development of anxiety, so as to better manage it in the future».»

THE FEELING OF A LACK OF PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION AMONG SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS

A research note by Pascal Guibert, Vincent Troger and Sébastien Urbanski, researchers at the Centre de Recherche en Éducation de Nantes (CREN).

The confinement and postponement of school tasks to the home has revealed the pivotal role of teachers to parents in particular, and to citizens and decision-makers in general. Will this recognition last? Does it take into account the factors that usually fuel the feeling of lack of recognition felt by the profession as a whole? In April 2020, the CREN published a report entitled «Le sentiment de déficit de reconnaissance chez les enseignants du second degré». The researchers establish that national policy is no longer a key factor, but that it is indeed the context of the school that determines the «configurations of recognition or non-recognition.» And the researchers conclude on a forward-looking note: «whatever the current effectiveness of the institutional autonomy of schools, this autonomy exists through the considerable differences in working conditions that distinguish them de facto today.»
