ABSTRACT
In 2019, the nursing sciences section of the Conseil national des universités des disciplines de santé was created. One of its missions is to evaluate the applications of candidates wishing to qualify as university professors and associate professors. Qualification authorizes the applicant to apply a competitive examination for the position of university professor or assistant professor at a French university offering a position. The members of the section must assess whether the requirements in terms of research, teaching, and expertise have been met by the candidate so that they can sit the competitive examination. As a result, there are a number of requirements, which it is useful to reiterate in order to enhance the quality of future applications. Only those requirements relating to qualification as a associate professor will be covered here.
En 2019, la section « Sciences infirmières ¼ du Conseil national des universités pour les disciplines de santé a été créée. Parmi ses missions, elle évalue chaque année les dossiers de demande de qualification de maîtres de conférences et de professeurs des universités. La qualification autorise la personne à candidater à un concours de recrutement au poste de maître de conférences ou de professeur des universités dans une université française proposant un poste. Les membres de la section doivent apprécier si les requis en termes de recherches, d'enseignements et d'expertises sont suffisants pour pouvoir présenter le concours. De ce fait, certaines exigences sont attendues, qu'il paraît nécessaire de rappeler pour favoriser un gain en qualité des futurs dossiers de candidature. Seules les exigences relatives à la qualification aux fonctions de maître de conférences seront traitées ici.

Understanding the contribution of the whole-school staff to health education (HE) is an important goal in HE research. This study aimed to identify the views of staff (principals; teachers; school nurses and doctors; counsellors and administrative, maintenance, canteen and cleaning staff) regarding the nature of their contribution to HE. The research is based on 207 semi-structured interviews of staff in a sample of five French middle schools (grade 6-9). Content analysis was performed using Bardin's method. The results showed that staff members have different views of their role, three main roles were identified: (i) as an educator in everyday life issues (72%); (ii) individual support, listening (14%) and (iii) taking part in collective projects and facilitation (14%). Professional status has a significant influence on the view they have of their contribution to HE. These results show that in order to facilitate consistent implementation of HE, schools need to be supported to build HE policy (need analysis, definition of priorities and partnerships) and also to develop the means by which an inclusive and real sharing of common culture among all staff can happen; this is not limited to teaching staff but includes non-teaching staff also.
