Each interview was tape recorded and transcribed. The ethics was taken into considerations from the onset process of recruitment, and for this reason the consent and assent letters were be provided and signed by both participants and care givers. Counselling support was provided for the participants. The common belief in this study was that the majority of the violence is found in the areas of their origin, which were the townships where they grew up. Generally, the participants held different beliefs on their sense of safety, which was related in the current area in which they live. The ultimate conclusions that have been drawn from the findings, suggest that children experience various difficulties and challenges, in their lives within children&rsquo / s home.

The perceptions and experiences of violence on children in children's homesNkubungu, Pumza January 2010 (has links)
Magister Psychologiae - MPsych / This study aimed at looking at children's perceptions of violence, exploring the experiences on child violence and lastly perceptions of children about intervention strategies in children's homes. The participants were sourced from the rehabilitation centres, at the children's homes in Khayelitsha. A manageable group of between 8 participants was used in the study. The participants were adolescents aged between 14-16 years old. The data was collected through individual interviews and was analysed in terms of thematic analysis. Each interview was tape recorded and transcribed. The ethics was taken into considerations from the onset process of recruitment, and for this reason the consent and assent letters were be provided and signed by both participants and care givers. Counselling support was provided for the participants. The common belief in this study was that the majority of the violence is found in the areas of their origin, which were the townships where they grew up. Generally, the participants held different beliefs on their sense of safety, which was related in the current area in which they live. The ultimate conclusions that have been drawn from the findings, suggest that children experience various difficulties and challenges, in their lives within children’s home. Despite these challenges and difficulties that are encountered, participants appear to remain relatively contented with life in the home.

The role of practitioners in early childhood development centres in shaping behaviour of childrenShertiel, Sabra Hussein January 2018 (has links)
Magister Artium - MA (Child and Family Studies) / Early childhood centres play a profound role in shaping the behaviour of children. Research
indicates that early childhood centres contribute to the holistic development of children,
encompassing their motor, congnitive and behavioural skills. Research has further shown that the
South African authorities have an early childhood policy which spans various aspects of childhood
development. To establish the nexus between early childhood centres and the behaviour of
children, this study explored the role of practitioners in early childhood development centres in
shaping the behaviour of children. The study uses the Ecological Systems Theory to interrogate its
tenets of the theory and the research findings. The study engaged a qualitative approach to explore
this phenomenon. Semi-structured interviews, field notes and observations were used to obtain
data from parents, principals and practitioners at early childhood centres. Data was analysed
thematically and as such, three main themes emerged from the research: the behaviour of children
in early childhood development centres; practitioners' perceptions of their own roles in early
childhood development centres; and the attitudes of practitioners towards their roles in early
development centres.

Human perception and the built environment : a proposed Autism Life Learning Centre for Durban.Reeves, Helen. 05 November 2013 (has links)
Buildings affect people both physically and psychologically, this study analyses this
impact which the built environment has on people's lives. This interrelationship between
people and the built environment is based on human perception. The study explores this
relationship further in order to develop an understanding of the ways in which architecture
influences peoples' moods, behaviours and experiences. By determining the importance of
this interrelationship and developing a better understanding of it, a deeper analysis of the
specialized needs of individuals with altered or impaired perceptions is developed. Focus is
placed on individuals with autism spectrum disorders, who are known for their difficulties
with perception. In addition, despite its overwhelming prevalence, they have a history of
being inadequately catered for within the built environment because their wide range of
complex needs are poorly understood.
The purpose of this study is to establish an understanding of the unique needs of this
particular user group, to interpret the implications of these needs with regards to the built
environment, to assess existing facilities in regards to these findings and to provide
information which can be used to develop guidelines for creating positive environments
which can enhance the daily lives of individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
The research was carried out by way of a review of existing relevant literature on the
subject of perception, experience and autism spectrum disorders, a review of relevant
precedent studies, a critical analysis of relevant case studies and interviews with parents,
teachers and principals who have had first-hand experience with individuals with autism
spectrum disorders.
The built environment, which plays a large role in people's lives, must be carefully
considered and designed to ensure that the needs of its users are met and their overall wellbeing
is maintained. In contemporary society, where human needs are often ignored, built
environments have become ego-driven objects of visual seduction (Pallasmaa, 2005). This
study calls for re-humanising architecture, considering human aspects in design and catering
for all human needs. By focusing on responding to users particular needs, throughout the
design process, buildings which make significant, positive contributions to the lives of
individuals can be made. / Thesis (M.Arch.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2012.
