Cet ouvrage est la 7e édition entièrement refondue, mise à jour et augmentée du Dictionnaire MALGORN des sciences et techniques, une référence depuis de nombreuses années en matière de dictionnaires techniques bilingues.Ce volume comprend plus de 130 000 termes qui recouvrent tous les domaines, des sciences de base jusqu'aux techniques industrielles de pointe, et leurs équivalents en anglais. Cette nouvelle édition élargit le champ des domaines traités: sûreté de fonctionnement, soudage, contrôle de la qualité, techniques industrielles, etc.L'analyse des épreuves est menée sur deux plans conjoints: La structure et le contenu, intégrant les apports de divers champs de la psychologie; Les conditions de passation pour inciter l'enfant à s'engager dans une relation non périlleuse avec l'adulte testant.L'hypothèse centrale pose en effet que les meilleures épreuves recèlent des qualités singulières. Elles éprouvent certes les aptitudes de l'enfant, mais elles le font bien quand elles sont organisatrices du temps de la rencontre entre l'enfant et le psychologue. L'enfant est ainsi considéré comme être en devenir, qui prendrait, au cours de l'épreuve, la mesure d'une distance enfin pensable avec l'adulte.Des observations cliniques, très détaillées, accompagnent toutes les épreuves étudiées. Elles indiquent le sens de la démarche, qui est d'aboutir à une interprétation des résultats d'un test utile à son destinataire, parent, soignant ou enseignant. ... Read more
