The aim of this thesis is to examine how interested the library sector is in digitalization. In an attempt to study this, I have studied the articles in Biblioteksbladet from 2012–2016. My starting point was that digitalization affects the Swedish libraries and that the subject therefore would have a prominent role in the library magazine. The aim of this thesis is also to generate knowledge about how digitalization affects the retail sector and the library sector to visualize similarities and differences between how operators from private and public sector are affected. Three text analytical surveys were conducted: a survey inspired by quantitative content analysis, a survey inspired by qualitative content analysis and a qualitative comparative survey. The agenda-setting theory was used as an analytic tool to analyze the interest in digitalization. Theories from the business field and previous research were used in order to compare how digitalization affects the retail sector and the library sector. The results of this thesis show that about eight per cent of the articles in the magazine from 2012–2016 is about digitalization. The subject is mentioned in all of the studied magazines except one. This shows that digitalization is treated to a considerable extent in Biblioteksbladet, which is in line with my hypothesis. My study also shows that digitalization is presented as a challenge to the libraries in the majority of the articles. This means that digitalization tends to be evaluated negatively in the material. It proved to be difficult to draw clear conclusions about the library sector’s interest in digitalization using these methods. The interest that appears in Biblioteksbladet doesn’t necessarily reflect the rest of the library sector’s interest. Another result is that there are several similarities between how digitalization affects the retail sector and the library sector. This is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science.

A dissertação “Descobrindo o valor das coisas ao meu redor”: vivência de educação patrimonial no ensino de história tem por objetivo analisar como o patrimônio cultural local, que se encontra no interior e no entorno de escolas periféricas, pode ser utilizado como fonte de conhecimento para o fortalecimento da cidadania, possibilitando um diálogo entre o ensino de História e as questões pertinentes à Educação Patrimonial. Para o desenvolvimento dessa pesquisa foi construído e desenvolvido o Projeto de Educação Patrimonial “Descobrindo o valor das coisas ao meu redor” a partir de uma série de atividades alicerçadas na utilização da metodologia de alfabetização patrimonial, com uma turma do nono ano da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Guerino Zugno, localizada no bairro Planalto II, um bairro periférico da cidade de Caxias do Sul-RS. Para a análise dos resultados obtidos, durante a aplicação das oficinas que integram o projeto buscou-se suporte em elementos teóricos acerca do patrimônio e da memória, relacionando-os com a educação patrimonial e a sua interligação com a construção da identidade e o fortalecimento da cidadania, assim como da formação das grandes cidades como espaços de constantes transformações, mas que trazem no seu patrimônio elementos de identidade. Para tanto, trago para discussão a ampliação do tema educação patrimonial nas escolas, a partir de iniciativas em conjunto com as Universidades, propiciando a aproximação da academia com as comunidades. O produto derivado da pesquisa encontra-se em um Caderno de Memórias que expõe o percurso do Projeto “Descobrindo o valor das coisas ao meu redor”. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-08-18T12:14:21Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Ana Paula Santos de Almeida.pdf: 4217677 bytes, checksum: f228c456616bb890f4b8953e8b41e93b (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-18T12:14:21Z (GMT).

A pesquisa empreendida em uma escola pública de educação básica do estado de São Paulo, exclusiva para jovens e adultos do ensino fundamental ¿ 2º segmento e do ensino médio, expôs por meio dos instrumentos metodológicos utilizados, pesquisa documental e entrevistas, as relações de ensino e as relações de aprendizagem que se modificam pelos sujeitos em ação na busca do conhecimento. As categorias de análise método/conteúdo e avaliação/objetivo nortearam categorias empíricas que constituíram o fazer, resignificaram o saber, qualificando a práxis pedagógica / Abstract: This research brings out different concepts and approaches regarding the Brazilian Education case and its historical development, following known international trends. It tries to reveal the field where Adult Education has been developed as well as the ideologically based concepts which has favoured ambiguous and misconstructed guidelines through Brazilian fundamental instruction. The survey which was developed in a chosen public high school in São Paulo state, restricted to Adult students, has tried to explain the relationship between teaching and learning and how it actually modifies the people who are engaged in a consequent action. The used methodological instruments were documental research and interview. The pedagogical labour was constructed according to every day practical activities as means of reaching well based knowledge achievements. Thus, the meaning of the intertwined fundamental elements of Education praxis, methodology/content and evaluation/goals, was reconsidered. / Doutorado / Politicas de Educação e Sistemas Educativos / Mestre em Educação

M.Ed. (Educational Psychology) / The purposes of this study were to determine the sense of obligation of a group of Northern Sotho speaking student teachers, their lecturers and some parents of the area, which factors affect their sense of obligation positively or negatively, and how pupils and students can be educated towards a mature sense of obligation. An empirical study was conducted and 1500 questionnaires were distributed among students and lecturers at Mamokgalake Chuene College of Education and also among parents in the vicinity. Only 450 questionnaires were returned. Factors such as culture, maturity, time perspective and the influence of parents and educators, which are related to a sense of obligation, were discussed.

This heuristic and inductive study proposes a philosophy and models for a humanizing role for higher education in the computer age. The university's traditional role stands the risk of serious erosion through increasing emphasis on technological programs, particularly in the computer areas. The pressures from inside and outside the university threaten to produce increasing numbers of what have been termed "highly educated barbarians." Because computerization offers to be a pervasive and widely-felt influence on society, the university must see that its graduates—both the producers and the consumers of computerization—become humane, liberally educated persons; they must have technical excellence and also an understanding of the "system Man." The study calls for an enhanced new curriculum fostering a "new mind" for the computer age, encompassing quality of both technique and humanity in its students.

This study is an investigation of the importance of present and preferred institutional goals as perceived by the faculties and administrators of two open university systems in Bangkok, Thailand. The purposes of the study are twofold. The first is to identify and analyze the similarities and differences of present and preferred goal priorities. The second is to determine differences and similarities for five institutional goal areas between the two systems and by administrator and faculty groups.

The problem of this study was to describe higher education in relation to economic development and social change in Nigeria. The purposes of this study were (1) to identify the needs for economic development and social change in Nigeria; (2) to relate higher education goals to the identified needs; (3) to determine the perceptions of the participating groups of students, faculty members, academic administrators, and government officials about what priority of importance is being placed and should be placed on higher education goals to achieve the national needs; (4) to formulate recommendations for the future development of higher education in relation to economic development and social change in Nigeria.

M.Inf. / The Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) is an integrated, coherent socioeconomic policy framework that seeks to mobilise all people and resources towards the final eradication of apartheid and the building of a democratic, non-racial and non-sexist future. It is clearly indicated in this policy document that the government is serious about the delivery of services to all people in South Africa. However, mention of library services is made only casually in the document, with libraries and information never being referred to in the same context. Information workers generally are nevertheless convinced that there are many areas in which library and information services can make a significant contribution to the success of the RDP. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the public library, with specific reference to the Randfontein Public Library, can make a contribution to the success of the RDP of South Africa. Data collection methods used included a study of literature and personal interviews with role players. During the analysis phase a brief overview was given of the South African history. The influence of this on the development of public libraries was researched, with special emphasis on the impact of the historical policy of separate development on libraries. It was found that, in the pre democratic era (before the 1994 elections), the Randfontein Public Library had indeed been influenced by apartheid laws, which resulted in inferior library services being provided to the previously disadvantaged groups in Randfontein. A chronological description of the transformation process within the library and information profession, including the guidelines of the national policy document, was given. It was found that information workers generally were aware of their responsibility towards the development of the previously disadvantaged groups, but that they lacked implementation guidelines. A demographic analysis of the Randfontein Magisterial District and a situation analysis of current Randfontein Public Library services were made to determine whether it was possible to make a contribution to the RDP. To determine the services that should be rendered by the Randfontein Public Library typical public library objectives in relation to RDP objectives were investigated. Both sets of objectives place high priority on development and therefore it was concluded that specific functions were to be performed to reach the identified development objectives. A distinction was made between primary and secondary functions. For the purpose of this study primary functions were defined as those performed to contribute towards RDP objectives, while secondary functions were deemed as those complementing the afore mentioned. In conclusion it was found that the Randfontein Public Library can make a contribution towards the actualisation of the RDP through prioritising primary functions and establishing links with organisations and individuals in the Randfontein community.
