No. of bitstreams: 1 Neide da Silva Paiva.pdf: 511575 bytes, checksum: 5c89d0c047705f05c05a088d129e12d9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2002-03-20 / The object of the analysis of this investigation is the cleric s discourse in the parish Nossa Senhora das Graças in the period from August 2000 to December 2001, during the Sunday homilies .Its aims to realize the understanding and interpretation that churchgoers of this community make about this discourse. A discourse in an organized celebration with biblical texts requires that the president, or being, the priest who preside the celebration, on the one hand, respect and explain the celebrative messages, and on the other hand, adapt to the cultural situation and the demands of the faith of the listeners. He should be aware of their spiritual and cultural conditions. Upon researching the existing relationship among current values in the discourse of the cleric and churchgoers, we aim to clear up the motives that cause these churchgoers to change to diverse parishes that profess the same religious creed, in this case the Catholicism. The cleric s discourse in the parish Nossa Senhora das Graças attempts to show how the obligation of a Christian who develops concrete attitudes is. Not all the churchgoers interpret it in this way. We know through the research that the fact of the faithful catholic not having an understanding of the discourse utilized by the priest of this specific parish is related to the fact that the content of the discourse presents a macro-social vision, while the churchgoer looks for through religion or the institution of the Church, a communication with God related to his everyday problems, in familial relations and everything which involves his life. It s possible to perceive in the discourse of the priests and the reliable of this parish, the religious conception that each one has and insists on transmit. / O objeto de análise dessa investigação é o discurso do clero na paróquia Nossa Senhora das Graças no período de agosto de 2000 a dezembro de 2001, durante as homilias dominicais. Visa perceber o entendimento e a interpretação que os fiéis dessa comunidade fazem desse discurso. Um discurso em uma celebração estruturada com textos bíblicos requer que o presidente, ou seja, o padre que preside a celebração, de um lado, respeite e explique as mensagens celebrativas e, de outro, se adapte à situação cultural e às exigências de fé dos ouvintes. Ele deverá ter consciência dos próprios condicionamentos culturais e espirituais. Ao pesquisar a relação existente entre os valores presentes nos discursos do clero e nos dos fiéis, visamos esclarecer os motivos que levam esses fiéis a fazerem um trânsito nas diversas paróquias que professam o mesmo credo religioso, no caso o catolicismo. O discurso do clero da paróquia Nossa Senhora das Graças tenta mostrar como é o compromisso do cristão que desenvolve atitudes concretas. Os fiéis, nem todos o interpretam dessa forma. Percebemos através da pesquisa que o fato do fiel católico não ter um entendimento do discurso utilizado pelo sacerdote nessa paróquia específica, está relacionado ao fato do conteúdo do discurso apresentar uma visão macro-social, enquanto que o fiel busca, por meio da religião ou da instituição Igreja, uma comunicação com Deus relacionando seus problemas do cotidiano, nas relações familiares e em tudo que envolve sua vida. É possível perceber no discurso dos sacerdotes e no discurso dos fiéis dessa paróquia, a concepção religiosa que cada um tem e faz questão de transmitir.

This thesis illustrates analysis of the influence of the non-machining processes on product quality by experimental design and statistical analysis. For the analysis objective / dishwasher production in Arcelik Dishwasher plant is examined. Sheet metal forming processes of dishwasher production constitutes the greatest portion of production cost and using the Pareto analysis technique / four pieces among twenty six pieces are determined to be investigated. These four pieces are the U Sheet, L Sheet, Inner Door and Side Panel of the dishwasher. By the help of the flow diagrams production process of the determined pieces are defined. Brainstorming technique and cause&amp / effect diagrams are used to determine which non-machining process parameters can cause pieces to be scrapped. These parameters are used as control factors in experimental design. Taguchi&amp / #8217 / s L16(215) orthogonal array, Taguchi&amp / #8217 / s L16(215) orthogonal array using S/N transformation and 28-4 fractional factorial design are used on purpose. With repetitions and confirmation experiments the effective parameters are determined and optimum level of these parameters are defined for the improvements on scrap quantity and quality of production.

The main aim of this study was to investigate the secondary schools English teachers&amp / #8217 / perceptions of technology, technology integration processes into their lessons, and the ways they use technology for professional development. The secondary aim of the study was to propose technology integration guidelines to enable high school English teachers to integrate technology into their teaching. Qualitative research design was used in this study and it resembles multi-case studies. For the participants&amp / #8217 / selection, criterion and convenience sampling strategy was used. First, 17 high schools (4 private, 3 Anatolian, 6 regular, and 4 vocational) were determined in Ankara province, and then 17 English teachers, one from each school, were selected based on the predetermined criteria. Totally, 17 teachers and 17 administrators were included in the study. Observations, document analysis, and interviews were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed through content analysis. The data were categorized under emerged themes, general technology knowledge, planning, using, evaluation and assessment, personal purposes, attitudes, support, and wishes. The findings of the study indicated that private high school teachers perceived themselves more knowledgeable in technology knowledge than regular, Anatolian, and vocational high school teachers. In addition, the interview results showed that private high school teachers integrate technology into planning, instruction, evaluation and assessment, and professional development more than the other English teachers. When school resources and support mechanisms were compared, private high schools were in a better condition than public high schools. Finally, most of the administrators included in the study wanted teachers use available school resources in their lessons.

In this study, three aspects of technology integration in English Language Teaching within the context of private universities in Ankara, Turkey were investigated. Firstly, preservice and in-service teachers&amp / #8217 / computer usage frequencies/types, computer competence levels, perceived barriers to technology integration and attitudes toward computers were explored. Then, factors (age, gender, work experience, institutional factors being preservice or in-service) that might potentially affect the findings of the first research question were examined. Finally, the educational value preservice and in-service teachers assigned to technology usage in their language teaching practices and their ideas on effective technology integration were scrutinized. In order to reach aforementioned goals, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected with the help of a questionnaire and semi-structured face-to-face interviews. The institutions sampled in this study were all private universities, the infrastructure of which varied drastically. A total of 182 questionnaires collected from the teachers (in-service N=120, preservice N=62), as well as eight in-service and four preservice teachers were interviewed. The findings indicated that teachers used computers at their schools at limited frequency. It was also found that they indicated high levels of instructional computer usage outside the school and technology competence. It was also seen that age, gender and the institutions the teachers worked at affected their technology usage and competence levels. As for the educational value assigned to technology usage in their language teaching, the teachers indicated that technology would help make their lessons more student centered. However, the teachers mainly mentioned using technology as teacher tools rather student tools which help foster higher order thinking skills and learner autonomy. Keeping the usage statistics in mind, it was concluded that the schools, even though all of them were private, lacked computer infrastructure to the point that the teachers had difficulty even to use computers for their personal purposes. It was also concluded that the schools in Turkey were still at the stage of fighting with first-order barriers, even at private institutions, indicating that a vision towards technology integration lacks. As for the educational value assigned to computer usage in ELT, it was concluded that institutional barriers were more of a concern for the teachers as they did not have a chance to delve into actual instructional usage and the ICT courses at college were not preparing the teachers for effective technology integration due to lack of proper training activities.

This research aims to analyze the international political economy of rising China since the mid 1990s.
