The purposes of this study were (1) to determine the scores on the quantitative portion of the SAT for 110 students and these students' math teachers' ratings on the TTAS, (2) to determine the nature of the relationship of the students' SAT scores to their teachers' TTAS ratings, and (3) to determine the nature of the relationship of the students' SAT scores to their sex. It was hypothesized that (1) there would be no significant relationship between a student's math score as measured by the quantitative portion of the SAT and the effectiveness of the student's math teacher as measured by the TTAS, and (2) there would be no significant relationship between a student's math score as measured by the quantitative portion of the SAT and the student's sex. The 110 subjects (60 males and 50 females) In this study took the quantitative portion of the SAT during the 1986-87 school year. This sample was drawn from a large suburban high school in the North Texas area. The effectiveness of the math teachers who taught the 110 students was measured by the Texas Teachers Appraisal System (TTAS). The statistical analyses indicated that (1) there was no significant relationship between a higher SAT score and a math teacher's higher TTAS rating and (2) there was no significant relationship between male and female SAT scores. Recommendations for future research include: (1) does the TTAS actually measure teacher effectiveness, (2) do appraisers in Texas follow state mandated training procedures, (3) does the quantitative portion of the SAT contain sexually biased items, (4) does the SAT actually predict student ability, (5) do teachers respond in like manner to male and female students, (6) does the high school curriculum tend to favor one sex more than the other.

The problem of this study was to determine if the teachers of Algebra I rated highest and lowest according to the Texas Teacher Appraisal System differed significantly in a measure of achievement. The analyses indicated that there were significant differences in achievement between the classes taught by the highest and lowest ranked teachers.

<p>This study found that the performance appraisal process, in particular, is an instrument of the performance appraisal system that contributes tremendous value to planning and implementation. The research found that the performance appraisal process in the City of Cape Town can be improved through addressing the process and improving the approaches followed by the managers in daily appraisals, which can be done by following the complete process and including all the steps it involves, and by having a positive attitude towards the performance appraisal process. This mini&ndash / thesis also provides a set of conclusions and recommendations for the performance management and performance appraisal system, particularly regarding appraisal process enhancement. It is hoped that the lessons learned through this study will inform current practices and provide information for future research at local government level.</p>

Through language we represent, under many ways, our emotional reactions. This way, verbalization of human experience takes the realization of meanings construction system. In this perspective, under Systemic Functional Grammar light (HALLIDAY; HASAN, 1989; HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004) and, specially, from The Appraisal System (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005), we have investigated which evaluative marks are recurrent in the discourse of people who experience cancer. In this sense, this research emphasis is on semantic valuation of suffering discourse, which is supported by Martin e White (2005) theoretical framework. The aim of this study is to chart which lexical choices and attitudinal resources build, by recurrence, the discourse of people who experience cancer. The corpus is composed by 10 interviews collected from Oncoguia portal, from the link Aprendendo com Você . In this context, the interviews take a great social relevance, in the humanistic sense, as a sharing of experiences, since they act breaking group, individual, social isolation; they can also serve to the pluralization of voices and to the democratic distribution of information (MEDINA 2008, p. 8), specially for being a huge fragility situation. The methodological procedures encompass the following stages: (1) elaboration of a list of words, through WordList resource (SCOTT, 2008); (2) identification and quantification of the most recurrent lexico-grammatical categories; (3) identification and categorization of the semantic subsystems of affect, judgment and appreciation; (4) semantic-interpretative data analysis. The results indicate a great recurrence of tenacity judgment categories and positive capacities, followed by affect for insecurity. Through judgment recurrences it is evident that overcoming is the watchword for the experiencers, who are determined to face and win cancer, since this is the only way of not submitting to mortality. The affect recurrences, focusing on the insecurity semantic field, indicate that the suffering experience triggers feelings of vulnerability and despair, bringing great sorrow for the fear of finiteness of life. The lexico-grammatical level investigations, more specifically in the ideational metafunction (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004) indicate frequency of lexical marks in the first person, of relational processes (mainly to be ) and the intensifiers, which contributes for the painful experience manifestation the interviewees go through. / Pela linguagem, representamos, de várias maneiras, nossas reações emocionais. Dessa forma, a verbalização da experiência humana assume a realização do sistema de construção de significados. Nessa perspectiva, sob a luz da Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional (HALLIDAY; HASAN, 1989; HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004) e, especialmente, do Sistema de Avaliatividade (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005), investigamos as marcas avaliativas recorrentes no discurso de sujeitos que experienciam o câncer. Nesse sentido, o enfoque desta pesquisa recai sobre a valoração semântica do discurso do sofrimento, sustentada pelo arcabouço teórico de Martin e White (2005). O objetivo deste trabalho é mapear quais escolhas lexicais e recursos atitudinais constroem, pela recorrência, o discurso de pessoas que vivenciam o câncer. O corpus é constituído por 10 entrevistas coletadas do portal Oncoguia, do link Aprendendo com Você . Neste contexto, as entrevistas assumem grande relevância social, no sentido humanístico, como compartilhamento de experiências, pois atuam quebrando isolamentos grupais, individuais, sociais; pode também servir à pluralização de vozes e à distribuição democrática da informação (MEDINA, 2008, p. 8), especialmente por se tratar de uma situação de grande fragilidade. Os procedimentos metodológicos compreendem as seguintes etapas: (1) elaboração de uma lista de palavras, por meio do recurso WordList (SCOTT, 2008); (2) identificação e quantificação das categorias léxico-gramaticais mais recorrentes; (3) identificação e categorização dos subsistemas semânticos de afeto, de julgamento e de apreciação; (4) análise semântico-interpretativa dos dados. Os resultados apontam para a grande recorrência das categorias de julgamento de tenacidade e de capacidade positivas, seguidas de afeto por insegurança. Pelas ocorrências de julgamento fica evidente que a superação é palavra de ordem para os experienciadores, que estão determinados a enfrentar e vencer o câncer, posto ser essa a única maneira de não se submeter à mortalidade. As ocorrências de afeto, com foco no campo semântico de insegurança, indicam que a vivência do sofrimento desencadeia sentimentos de vulnerabilidade e desesperança, trazendo grande pesar pelo medo da finitude da vida. As investigações do nível léxico-gramatical, mais especificamente na metafunção ideacional (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004) evidenciam frequência de marcas lexicais em primeira pessoa, de processos relacionais (principalmente ser ) e de intensificadores, o que contribui para a manifestação da experiência dolorosa por que passam os entrevistados.

[pt] Esta pesquisa lança luz às estratégias discursivas dos discursos de defesa proferidos pelos advogados atuantes nos casos Ângela Diniz (1979) e Mari Ferrer (2020) durante as audiências de julgamento. O objetivo é comparar como tais discursos avaliam a vida dessas mulheres sob um prisma ideológico atravessado por crenças e relações de poder concernentes à vida social e à esfera jurídica. Assim, buscamos lastros e rastros que atualizam e (re-)entextualizam tal discurso moralizante sobre mulheres que visam à culpabilização da vítima. Os dados usados para esta pesquisa são públicos e foram gerados a partir das transcrições e do áudio do episódio O Julgamento, do programa de podcast Praia dos Ossos, produzido pela Rádio Novelo e disponível em site próprio; e do vídeo do julgamento do caso Mari Ferrer, disponibilizado em canal da rede social YouTube. Este trabalho apoia-se em estudos recentes (in-)disciplinares da Linguística Aplicada (LA) que tratam o discurso para além do texto, como algo que pode ser entendido como ação e que gera, projeta e/ou reverbera efeitos na sociedade. O desenho teórico-metodológico desta pesquisa é de base qualitativa e apoia-se na perspectiva socioconstrucionista e nos estudos pós-modernos da Análise do Discurso a fim de investigar os efeitos do discurso na vida social, na (co-)construção das relações e ações por meio de práticas discursivas situadas em um contexto social e espaço-temporal. Em nível microdiscursivo, a análise das escolhas léxico-gramaticais baseia-se no Sistema de Avaliatividade, apontando como as relações de poder, as crenças e os valores sociais operam no discurso. / [en] This research sheds light on discursive strategies of defense speeches given by the attorneys during the trial hearings of the Ângela Diniz (1979) and Mari Ferrer (2020) cases. It is our objective to compare how such speeches evaluate the lives of these women under an ideological prism, permeated by beliefs and power relations concerning social life and the legal sphere. Thus, we seek the bases and traces that update and (re-)entextualize a moralizing discourse on women which aims at blaming the victim. The data used for this research are public and were generated from the transcripts and audio of the Praia dos Ossos podcast episode O Jugamento, produced by Rádio Novelo and available on their website; and the video of the Mari Ferrer case trial, available on YouTube. This work is supported by recent (in-)disciplinary studies of Applied Linguistics (AL) that treat discourse beyond the text, as something that can be understood as action and that generates, projects and/or reverberates effects in society. The theoretical-methodological design of this research is qualitative, drawing on the socio-constructionist perspective and on post-modern studies of Discourse Analysis in order to investigate the effects of discourse on social life, on the (co-)construction of relationships and actions through discursive practices situated in a social and spatiotemporal context. At a micro-discursive level, the analysis of lexical-grammatical choices is based on the Appraisal System, pointing out how power relations, beliefs and social values operate in discourse.
