Des groupes de rédaction académique pour favoriser la professionnalisation scientifique des doctorants
Le doctorat implique des exigences grandissantes en termes de professionnalisation scientifique. Il est notamment attendu des doctorants qu’ils contribuent à la communauté scientifique, un défi majeur pour ces derniers qui éprouvent un manque de soutien résultant en une faible santé psychologique. En réponse à cette problématique, divers dispositifs d’accompagnement doctoral sous forme de groupes de rédaction académique ont récemment été conçus a…
How writing retreats represent an ideal opportunity to enhance PhD candidates’ writing self-efficacy and self-regulation
PhD candidates face heavy workloads and lack strategies to prioritize their dissertation, resulting in limited writing opportunities and low confidence in writing capabilities. Although writing retreats are known to propel academics’ writing productivity, little is known about how they may assist PhD candidates in enhancing writing self-efficacy and self-regulation. An Explanatory Sequential Mixed Method with a quasi-experimental design was used …
A multi-phase mixed-method study defining dissertation writing enjoyment and comparing PhD students writing in the company of others to those writing alone
To overcome the assumption that dissertation writing is an anxiety-provoking process, this multi-phase mixed-method research aimed to develop a comprehensive picture of writing enjoyment in the context of doctoral studies, as well as to understand if and how writing in the company of others can enhance dissertation writing enjoyment. Firstly, we interviewed 30 PhD students to conceptualize writing enjoyment. These qualitative results revealed tha…
Effects of a Participation in a Structured Writing Retreat on Doctoral Mental Health
Challenges faced by doctoral researchers led to a concerning "doctoral mental health crisis" within academia. Recognizing the pressing need to address mental health concerns, notably among doctoral students, the Quebec Ministry of Higher Education introduced the Higher Education Student Mental Health Action Plan 2021-2026. One potentially relevant intervention approach is the implementation of tailored structured writing retreats for graduate stu…
Échelle de santé psychologique adaptée et validée au contexte doctoral
Malgré le nombre grandissant d’études sur la santé psychologique des doctorants, l’intérêt semble surtout axé sur leur détresse psychologique. Ceci peut s’expliquer par le manque d’outils contextualisés au travail doctoral pour mesurer à la fois la détresse et le bien-être psychologiques, deux aspects indissociables de la santé psychologique. Or, un tel outil apparaît essentiel pour les futures recherches empiriques qui tenteront, par exemple, d’…
Développement et validation d’une mesure de bien-être social au doctorat
Plusieurs études qualitatives suggèrent que le sentiment de faire partie de la communauté scientifique est essentiel à la réussite du parcours doctoral. Bien que quelques outils aient été développés pour capter certaines composantes du sentiment de communauté scientifique, il n’existe aucun instrument pour mesurer ce construit dans sa globalité. La présente étude visait donc à développer l’Échelle du sentiment de communauté scientifique (ÉSCS) et…
Writing Retreats Responding to the Needs of Doctoral Candidates Through Engagement with Academic Writing
During dissertation writing, PhD candidates face challenges engaging with academic writing, among other things, which leads to their participation in writing retreats with their peers. Developing a better understanding of PhD candidates’ needs to optimize engagement with writing is important for improving the overall doctoral experience and reduce attrition. We then conducted a qualitative longitudinal experimental study with PhD candidates from …
Development and validation of a measure of social well-being during doctoral studies
Several qualitative studies suggest that the sense of belonging to the scientific community is critical to the success of the doctoral journey. Although a few tools have been developed to capture some components of the sense of scientific community, no instrument is available to measure this construct in its entirety. The purpose of this study was to develop the Sense of Scientific Community Scale (SSCS) and to examine its psychometric qualities …
Adapted and validated psychological health scale in the doctoral context
Despite the growing number of studies on the psychological health of doctoral students, interest seems to be focused on their psychological distress. This may be due to the lack of available tools contextualized to doctoral work to measure both psychological distress and well-being, which represent two indissociable aspects of psychological health. Since such a tool appears essential for future empirical research that will attempt, for example, t…

Emergent literacy and childhood literacy-promoting activities for children in the Ontario Child Welfare System
Research has demonstrated that early exposure to literacy is one of the essential foundations for promoting positive outcomes and successful life transitions for children and young people. Academic and social successes within the domain of education are recognized factors in fostering resilience in at-risk populations. Unfortunately, in Canada the potential for differing outcomes exists between children within the general population and those chi…
