Hazing is a universal practice. The process is multi-dimensional and includes both positive and negative aspects. Hazing broadly refers to the negative aspects of what newcomers experience as they integrate into a group. This study focuses on hazing during orientation programmes for Grade 8 boys in monastic secondary schools in South Africa. The problem was investigated by a literature study and a survey using a self-designed questionnaire. It was completed by a non-probability sample of 296 Grade 12 boys from three selected schools in Gauteng Province. Data measured the biographical attributes of respondents and determined their opinions of activities engaged in during the orientation programmes. Findings indicated that respondents were positive about the orientation programme which acts as an introduction into secondary school and is a means whereby traditions are transmitted. Respondents were very opposed to any injurious activity. The objectives of orientation programmes are well-grounded but when they deteriorate into hazing, they are very negatively perceived. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Comparative Education)

The feature of the character envisaged here is the overmuch dependence that this woman cherishes towards man. In the second place, the analysis of a clinical case of a 40- years old woman who called herself a Medea of life when she looked for therapy. Finally, Winnicott`s Theory of Human Maturation as a theoretic approach useful to understand the case in question. As a result, the articulation of these points points out to the importance of winnicottian clinic as an alternative care to patients with flaws in primitive development, i.e., in preedipic stage, when is at stake the continuity of the being, not sexuality / O presente trabalho parte de três pontos principais. Em primeiro lugar, o mito de Medéia a mulher que mata os filhos para se vingar do marido. O aspecto enfocado na figura da personagem é a excessiva dependência que essa mulher nutre em relação ao homem. Em segundo, a análise de uma mulher de 40 anos que se autodenominou "uma Medéia da vida" ao procurar terapia, utilizando para isso o método clínico. E, finalmente, a Teoria do Amadurecimento Humano de D. W. Winnicott como abordagem teórica para compreender o caso em questão. O resultado da articulação desses pontos aponta para a importância da clínica winnicottiana como uma alternativa para cuidados com pacientes com falhas no desenvolvimento primitivo, ou seja, na fase pré-edípica, quando o que está em jogo é a continuidade do ser e não a sexualidade

Truancy is one of the problems that exist in schools and affect learners' performance. The aim of the current study was to determine how truancy manifests and also to explore the life world of truants in secondary schools. From the literature review, the two types of truancy, namely blanket truancy and post-registration truancy were described. Various programmes and approaches used in truancy intervention were explored. An empirical investigation was undertaken with a sample of 758 Grade 10 learners from three secondary schools. The results indicated that significantly more males than females engaged in truancy. There is also a significant dependency between learning problems and truancy. The results of the study were analysed and recommendations for intervention and for further study were made. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Guidance and Counseling)

Hazing is an ancient, universal practice. In past and modern societies, the need to join a group is an aspect of our humanity. The process of joining a group frequently includes the need to be hazed in order to legitimate full membership. This study uses the theoretical frameworks of Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu’s perspectives of social order, Henri Tajfel and John Turner’s theory of social identity, and Albert Bandura’s theory of moral disengagement to look at individuals joining groups. In particular, the study has sought to ascertain why those who haze are motivated to act. A grounded theory has been developed through interviewing young adults, who while in positions of leadership as Grade 12 learners in Gauteng schools, planned hazing activities. The grounded theory shows that hazing while enacted by an individual is not solely driven by that person, but rather hazing is a means of cultural reproduction. The mechanism through which hazing occurs focuses on achieving a sense of belonging, conforming to a given culture and consenting to hazing. The hazer is motivated to pass on aspects of the school’s culture, namely school traditions, hierarchical structures, means and standards of discipline, and showing appropriate respect to others. The hazer believes that this can be achieved as those being hazed will comply if they can avoid being humiliated. The developed theory is grounded and was verified through interviewing stakeholders in the school community who had extensive knowledge of the school culture and of Grade 12 learners. / Ukufikisa kungumkhuba wasemandulo, owenziwa emhlabeni wonke.
