The aim of this study was to describe ways in which Grade 1 teachers use creative teaching practice in Mathematics. An interpretivistic approach was used with qualitative research principles guiding the research process. The research design was a case study design. Three primary school teachers at an Afrikaans private school were purposefully selected. A multi-method approach to data gathering was taken. Firstly, the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (Foundation Phase): Mathematics was analysed to determine the guidelines of the Department of Basic Education regarding creative teaching practice in Mathematics. Secondly, the three participants each made a visual representation (poster) of their understanding of creative teaching practice in Mathematics, where after each participant's poster was discussed with her. Thirdly, a total of five Mathematics lessons were observed and one semi-structured interview was conducted with each participant. Fourthly, personal opinions, reflective thoughts and impressions of the research study were noted in the researcher's research journal. Results were derived from inductive thematic analysis of the documented data. After member checking, four themes were identified. Firstly, some fundamental principles for the use of creative teaching practice in Mathematics were deducted, which included sensitivity for learner differences, the use and development of learners' current knowledge, active learner participation in lessons, interest and joy in Mathematics lessons, and the inclusion of the life world of the learners in the Mathematics lessons. Secondly, the participants suggested possible implementation strategies for creative teaching practice in Mathematics, namely the implementation of problem solving skills, concrete experiences and resources, group learning and social interaction. Thirdly, some teacher qualities that promote creative teaching practice in Mathematics were indicated, namely teachers as specialist subject experts in Mathematics, motivators of learners, creators of a positive learning and teaching environment, interpreters and designers of learning programmes and material, and adaptability. The fourth theme emphasized the challenges regarding the use of creative teaching practice in Mathematics where environmental factors were indicated. Based on the findings the conclusion can be made that domain relevant skills, skills regarding creativity, intrinsic task motivation and the social environment are components that can be incorporated to promote the successful use of creative teaching practice in Mathematics. / Die doel van hierdie studie was om te beskryf op welke wyses Graad 1-onderwysers kreatiewe onderrig in Wiskunde gebruik. Die studie is vanuit 'n interpretivistiese benadering onderneem met kwalitatiewe navorsingsbeginsels wat die navorsingsproses onderlê het. 'n Gevalstudie-ontwerp is as navorsingsontwerp gebruik. Drie laerskoolonderwysers, verbonde aan 'n Afrikaanse privaatskool, is deur 'n gerieflikheidseleksie geselekteer. Data is deur 'n multi-metodiese benadering versamel. Eerstens is die Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement (Foundation Phase): Mathematics ge-analiseer, om sodoende die Department van Basiese Onderwys se riglyne betreffende kreatiewe onderrigpraktyk in Wiskunde te identifiseer. Tweedens het die drie deelnemers elk 'n visuele voorstelling (plakkaat) gemaak wat hul begrip aangaande kreatiewe onderrigpraktyk in Wiskunde uitbeeld, waarna elke deelnemer se plakkaat met haar bespreek is. Derdens is vyf Wiskunde-lesse in totaal waargeneem en een semi-gestruktureerde onderhoud met elke deelnemer gevoer. Vierdens is persoonlike opinies, reflektiewe gedagtes en indrukke van die navorsingstudie aangeteken in die navorser se navorsingsjoernaal. Induktiewe tematiese analise van die gedokumenteerde data het gedien as basis vir die resultate. Deelnemerkontrole is uitgevoer en vier temas is geïdentifiseer. Eerstens is van die fundamentele beginsels vir die gebruik in kreatiese onderrigpraktyk in Wiskunde afgelei, wat insluit sensitiwiteit vir leerderverskille, die gebruik en ontwikkeling van leerders se bestaande kennis, aktiewe leerderbetrokkenheid by lesaanbieding, interessantheid en genotvolheid van Wiskunde-lesse, en die insluiting van leerders se leefwêreld by Wiskunde-lesse. Tweedens het die deelnemers moontlike implementeringstrategieë vir kreatiewe onderrigpraktyk in Wiskunde aangedui, naamlik die implementering van probleemoplossingsvaardighede, konkrete ervaringe en hulpbronne, groepsleer en sosiale interaksie. Derdens is sommige onderwyserkwaliteite ter bevordering van kreatiewe onderrigpraktyk in Wiskunde aangedui, naamlik onderwysers as spesialis vakkenners in Wiskunde, leerder-motiveerders, skeppers van 'n positiewe leer- en onderrigomgewing, interpreteerders en ontwerpers van leerprogramme en -materiaal, en aanpasbaarheid. Die vierdie tema het die uitdagings rondom die gebruik van kreatiewe onderrigpraktyk in Wiskunde beklemtoon, waar onder andere omgewingsfaktore aangedui is. Op grond van die bevindinge kan die gevolgtrekking gemaak word dat domein-relevante vaardighede, kreatiwiteitsvaardighede, intrinsieke taakmotivering en die sosiale omgewing komponente van die samestellende teorie van kreatiwiteit (Amabile, 2012) is, wat ingesluit kan word om die suksesvolle gebruik van kreatiewe onderrigpraktyk in Wiskunde te bevorder. / Dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2016. / Educational Psychology / MEd / Unrestricted

This dissertation analyzes the effects of the ILO’s 1998 Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, taking as a case study ILO’s promotion of freedom of association in Brazil. It suggests that the 1998 Declaration’s promotional approach offers mechanisms that have the capacity to change a country's behaviour. In the case of Brazil, this change would involve reform of a corporativist trade union law that violates the principle of freedom of association. The peculiarities of compliance with the freedom-of-association principle represent a significant challenge to the ILO, especially when a country lacks the political will to comply with the principle. This dissertation shows that the 1998 Declaration provides mechanisms − information, qualification of the bureaucracy and support of independent actors − that can be used in these situations even outside the scope of a cooperation program to reform the law and modify public policy.

O método intuitivo, praticado por Henri Bergson, constitui o principal alicerce deste trabalho, no sentido de promover um estudo que tem como propósito compreender os modos de ser e de agir do objeto, tendo em conta suas duas tendências, virtual e atual. O conjunto dos doze princípios fundamentais é estudado a partir de uma abordagem tecnocultural, cujo enfoque reside na tentativa de apreender como técnicas e sensibilidades se transformam mutuamente. O conceito de imagem-movimento de Deleuze é fundamental na pesquisa, uma vez que os princípios são considerados tendo em conta uma dimensão relativa, referente às formalidades das operações no cinema, e uma dimensão absoluta, na qual se manifestam os regimes da imagem-movimento. A observação da dimensão absoluta se dá a partir da cartografia dos princípios, de acordo com a elaboração de duas constelações – Máscaras e Mecanicismos – em cenas de quatro longas-metragens de animação, quais sejam: Branca de Neve e os Sete Anões (EUA, 1937), Toy Story (EUA, 1995), A Viagem de Chihiro (Japão, 2001) e O Menino e o Mundo (Brasil, 2013). / The present dissertation aims to know the way of being of the drawn animation through the understanding and observation of the Disney’s fundamental principles of the cinematographic animation. The intuitive method, practiced by Henri Bergson, constitutes the main foundation of this work, in the sense of promoting a study whose purpose is to understand the ways of being and acting of the object, taking into account its two tendencies, virtual and current. The set of twelve fundamental principles is studied from a technocultural approach, whose focus lies in the attempt to learn how techniques and sensibilities transform each other. Deleuze's concept of image-movement is fundamental in the research, since the principles are considered taking into account a relative dimension, referring to the formalities of the operations in the cinema, and an absolute dimension, in which the regimes of the image-movement manifest themselves. The observation of the absolute dimension is based on the cartography of the principles, according to the elaboration of two constellations - Masks and Mechanics - in scenes of four animated feature films, namely: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (USA, 1937 ), Toy Story (USA, 1995), Spirited Away (Japan, 2001) and Boy and the World (Brazil, 2013).

This research asserts that all the government agencies must abide by law in the exercise of public authority in democratic society. This research is developed based on the view of administrative laws, under the Five Frameworks of The Administrative Laws¡XPrinciples of Sexual Harassment Prevention Act, Administrative Organization, Administrative Power, Administrative Relief and Administrative Supervision. Scholars from all over the world and organizations of public and private sectors have been endeavoring in research of sexual harassment prevention and attempt to put forward possible solutions. As one of the law enforcement officials, the researcher believes that it¡¦s an inescapable duty to see into this issue seriously. The scope of application, rights protection and relief methods of relevant laws should be defined clearly. Thus, it will relieve the trauma of those who suffer from sexual abuse, find proper solution and minimize the damage. The methodologies this research adopts are Comparative Analysis, Literature Studies and Induction Research. The preliminary chapters define the ¡§Sexual Harassment¡¨ and its relevant laws, introduce the three laws stipulated against sexual harassment¡XGender Equality Education Act, Gender Equality in Employment Act and Sexual Harassment Prevention Act. Further, the identification of sexual harassment and its lawful application, the problems which existing laws confront are discussed in the following chapters. Consequently, for those unsolved problems, this research wishes to bring forward concrete suggestion for the legislators, under the five aforementioned frameworks, as reference to amend existing laws and regulations in the future. Sexual harassment is by no means a single problem, but a collective issue of politics, society, economy, power/rights, gender and social classes. Therefore, the civilization and progress should be founded on the fair treatment of genders and protecting victims¡¦ legal rights. The attitude we take towards the gender issue will deeply impact our life and quality of human rights. To pay back the victims with the justice, create an equal genders environment will rely on the awareness of equality and attitude of life one builds up.

The main subject of this Master's thesis is the analysis of the principle of subsidiarity of criminal repression in the Czech legal order, both in historical context and the context of current legislation. This work is analysing the principle of subsidiarity of criminal repression with its relating principle 'ultima ratio' and its concept in the Czech, or more like Czechoslovakian criminal substantive law since the first half of the twentieth century till today. The principle is defined both in theoretical legal terms and the practical legal terms in the context of the Czech higher court case law analysis. In the first chapter of the presented work, the author is discussing the historical point of view at already mentioned principle which is described in more of a detail as it comes to its criminal law codexes accepted in the years 1950 and 1961.This chapter is meant to highlight the fact that a criminal act itself in this period of time - obviously taken the differences in the political arrangments of Czechoslovakia - was treated differently than it would be today, which decreased the legal reassurance of Czechoslovakians, who were 'looked after' mostly by the institute of former so-called social endangerment. It is also important to mention that this period of time used to deal with an intrusion...

Den här studien handlar om min upplevelse av att spela Johann Sebastian Bachs Chaconne med en barockstråke och med en modern stråke. Den handlar också om huruvida detta påverkar mitt val av hur jag väljer att spela stycket på i slutändan. På ett tidstroget sätt eller på ett modernt sätt. Mitt syfte är att undersöka om det är någon skillnad att spela ett stycke med en tidstrogen stråke samt med en modern stråke. Finns det några fördelar och nackdelar med samtliga och har någon utav dem bättre förutsättningar i valet av stycke som man ska spela. Arbetet har utförts i Kungliga Musikhögskolans lokaler och inspelningarna i min egen studio. Några av de resultat jag kommit fram till är att jag ännu inte har hittat endast ett sätt att spela chaconne på. Det beror helt från dag till dag och vilket humör jag är på. Det vill säga att jag väljer att spela på ett sätt som känns bäst i stunden. Jag har också upplevt att det känns bättre att spela med den barocka stråken när jag spelar på ett tidstroget sätt och vice versa.

<p>The purpose of this study was to examine and describe how politicians and directors of care define and experience quality in aged care facilities. Further on we wanted to compare on which fundamental principles the participants base their opinion about quality and how they work with quality. To reach our aim we conducted five interviews with politicians and directors of care. The results show that it is hard to determine quality in an unambiguous and objective way. Quality in aged care appears to be about relations and encounters amongst people. The participants in our study agree that experiences are subjective and depending on individual expectations.</p><p>There are fundamental principles shared by both politicians and directors of care regarding safety and respect of human integrity. Directors of care point out the difficulties in having multiple perspectives to consider, residents and their relatives have other expectations on what services should be provided than the directors of care understand to be their assignment from the local government. It appears to be a gap between political goals and reality. The future will bring changes, regarding both needs and expectations. The participants see a challenge in developing aged care and meeting new generations of elderly.</p>

La tesi di dottorato mira ad indagare la formazione e lo sviluppo del concetto di Repubblica nell’ordinamento costituzionale italiano. A tal fine viene presa in considerazione l’innovazione apportata dalla Costituzione repubblicana rispetto all’esperienza dello Stato moderno e si riscontra una forte connessione tra il concetto di Repubblica e la volontà politica di creare, nel secondo dopoguerra, un ordinamento che superi la tradizionale separazione tra Stato e società. Nella vigente Costituzione italiana ciò si traduce nel riconoscimento di un rilievo giuspubblicistico ad un ampio pluralismo sociale e nella creazione di uno Stato-ordinamento comprensivo tanto dello Stato-apparato quanto dello Stato-comunità. Il lavoro prosegue analizzando l’attualità del concetto di Repubblica in un contesto di rapporti sociali profondamente mutati rispetto al secondo dopoguerra ed in cui è il medesimo concetto di Stato ad essere oggetto di tensione. In questa prospettiva la forma repubblicana diviene la principale manifestazione di un principio unitario interno alla Costituzione, principio che viene declinato tanto a livello di ordinamento normativo quanto in relazione ai rapporti tra Stato e società. / The PhD thesis aims to inquire birth and growth of the Republic notion in the Italian constitutional system. The author assesses the innovation of the Italian republican Constitution compared to the whole experience of modern State and points out connections between the notion of Republic and the political will to create, after Second World War, a system which can overcome any distinction between State and society. The Italian Constitution implements this pattern giving a public position to a social pluralism and creating system including the state apparatus and the entire social community. Then, the thesis inquires the nowadays operation of the Republic notion with respect to social changes and state evolution. In this regard, the republican system is the main consequence of a principle of unity provided by the Constitution; this principle acts both in the normative order and in the relations between state and society.
