The unity of the first gymnasium classes in analysed in the article, the main differences of community unity are revealed in newly formed, formed and partly reformed classes, the differences between girls and boys are revealed on this point. The results of analysis show that the greatest community unito of classes is in newly formed and non–reformed classes.It is most difficult to rally the community in partly reformed classes because it is difficult for new pupils to join the class community which has already been formed.The index of class community depends on the pupils‘ sex. It is larger between boys and less between girls. The emocional index is larger among girls.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the class and consciousness formation in a local setting by also developing and applying a theoretical framework which allow us to study the interaction of locus of class consciousness with the other loci of consciousness formation such as the community and the state. Such an approach is also grounded in the belief that a relational understanding of these processes requires us to take spatial dynamics such as local dependency, spatial fix and fixity and mobility into account. By critically drawing upon historico-geographical materialist approach(es), the thesis attempts at resolving the tensions between &lsquo / locality-wider society&rsquo / and &lsquo / structure-consciousness&rsquo / . By integrating them into a holistic and operational conceptual framework, it investigates the highly complex patterning of relations within urban structured coherences, and their effects upon the class and consciousness formation processes. It is shown that interpenetration of these fields of tension through urban processes is crucial in shaping a backbone for the concrete struggles fought by working class against capital in and of the urban regions. These issues are discussed with reference to two working class neighborhoods in Bursa. The first community, Emek, is an unplanned, illegally built settlement, hosting mostly migrant, and lower-wage earning industrial workers, and the second one, Akpinar, is a planned settlement, composed of low-cost housing cooperatives, symbolizing a higher living standard environment for well-paid, socially secure workers, mostly local in origin. The field research focuses on the relations between &lsquo / the labor market, housing market and local dependency&rsquo / and &lsquo / the strategies between mobility-fixity adopted both on part of capital and labor&rsquo / . The specific character of these strategies also tell us how the patterning of the relations between class, community and state loci of consciousness formation and the formation of local coherences mutually shape one another. It is often assumed in this context that formation of class-based consciousness is hindered by other loci of consciousness such as the community-based one. This study shows that community-based consciousness is itself largely absent in the communities in hand and when community-base is deployed by the local workers it is often strategically employed to get personal benefits. In this sense, the study concludes that the lack of community-based consciousness does not device more effective strategies of formation of class-based consciousness but perhaps another adverse factor in developing class-based consciousness in an environment heavily dominated by individualized form of consciousness.

Mokyklos ir visuomenės demokratizavimo bei humanizavimo tikslai skatina atsigręžti į asmenybę, mokinio interesų, poreikio formavimą bei tenkinimą. Darbe nagrinėjami mokinių muzikinės raiškos poreikį skatinantys bei ribojantys veiksniai. Darbo naujumą ir teorinį reikšmingumą charakterizuoja šie argumentai: • Bendra klasės muzikinė veikla orientuojama į kiekvieno klasės mokinio muzikinę raišką. Tuo tikslu akcentuojamas bendradarbiaujančios klasės modelis (konstruktas) – visų klasės mokinių dalyvavimas bendroje klasės muzikinėje veikloje. • Siekiant suprasti bei atskleisti mokinių muzikinės raiškos bendroje klasės muzikinėje veikloje savitumus, atsiradusias reikšmes, motyvus, emocijas atliktas ugdomasis eksperimentas (veiklos tyrimas). • Veiklos tyrimas organizuotas kaip ciklinis procesas, kuris apima planavimą, veiklą, stebėjimą, refleksiją, kai grįžtamosios informacijos dėka įtakojami pokyčiai. Šiame darbe pateikti mokinių refleksijų (dienoraščiai, rašinėliai) kokybinės analizės duomenys gali būti reikšmingi muzikos mokytojams praktikams – tyrėjams, mokyklų bendruomenėms. Veiklos tyrimo modelis gali identifikuoti kasdieninius ugdymo(si) ypatumus bei įtakoti pokyčius. Tyrimo išvados gali atverti muzikinio ugdymo(si) reikšmingumą kiekvienam klasės mokiniui. Tyrimo objektas – mokinių muzikinės raiškos poreikio formavimas. Tyrimo tikslas – atskleisti mokinių muzikinės raiškos poreikio formavimo galimybes bendroje klasės muzikinėje veikloje. Tyrimas parodė, kad klasės veiklos...

Factors stimulating and limiting the need for musical expression among students are discussed in the thesis. The following arguments define the work novelty and theoretic significance: • General musical activity in a class is targeted to every student’s musical expression. For this purpose, the model (construct) of a cooperating class is accentuated, namely the participation of all students in the general musical activity of the class. • In order to understand and reveal singularities, meanings, motives and emotions with regard to musical expression among students in the general musical activity of the class, an educational experiment was conducted (activity research). • Activity research was organised as a cyclic process which comprises planning, activity, observation, reflection, when changes are influenced with the help of feedback information. The thesis provides the data of qualitative analysis with regard to students’ reflections (diaries, essays) that might be significant to music teacher practitioners – researchers, and school communities. The activity research model may reveal the significance of musical education to every student in the class. Object of the research is the formation of the need for musical expression among students. Objective of the research is to reveal the possibilities of formation of... [to full text]

Thesis (MEd)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The shaping of students. educational aspirations in their school and neighbourhood context is a complex process of confluence, and largely depends on their context-specific perceptions and conceptualisation. From a sociological perspective, this study focuses on how high-school students at a working-class school in a working-class neighbourhood shape their educational aspirations amidst their particular community dynamics. The study uses the analytical lens of space in order to investigate the underlying relationship between youth development and the youth.s educational aspirations in their neighbourhood context. It emphasises students. life experiences in two spaces, namely their residential space (the neighbourhood) and their institutional space (the school). This is an important focus in order to explore the dynamic relationship between students. spatial living dynamics and how they navigate within these to shape their educational aspirations. The study focuses on how the students experience the neighbourhood and school in relation to their educational aspirations, and how these aspects manifest in the shaping of their aspirations. Also key to the study is the students. prior socialisation processes with regard to their educational aspirations. The study.s primary point of departure is that there is a unique relationship between these students. living contexts and how they construct and position their educational aspirations within these contexts. The study belongs within the qualitative interpretative paradigm, as I attempt to describe and understand how these students consciously draw from practices and interactions in their living contexts to shape their educational aspirations. Qualitative research instruments, such as field notes, participatory and non-participatory observations as well as formal and informal interviews, were used to answer the research question and achieve the research objectives of the thesis. The findings are presented in narrative format according to relevant themes, and are also analysed on a narrative basis. The research shows how the students . based on their own resources, networks and interactions as well as their own agency . position themselves in relation to their educational aspirations in order to shape their aspirations. In this way, the study reveals how the participating students dualistically draw from the practices of both their living spaces . school as well as neighbourhood . in order to give content to their educational aspirations; how they navigate the shaping of their educational aspirations .in parallel., as it were, in line with both the aforementioned living contexts. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Studente se opvoedkundige-aspirasievorming in hul skool- en woonbuurtkonteks is 'n komplekse proses van samevloeiing, en hang grootliks van hul konteksspesifieke opvattings en konseptualisering af. Uit 'n sosiologiese perspektief konsentreer hierdie studie op hoe hoërskoolstudente by 'n werkersklasskool in 'n werkersklaswoonbuurt aan hul opvoedkundige aspirasies gestalte gee te midde van hul besondere gemeenskapsdinamiek. Die studie gebruik die analitiese lens van ruimte ten einde ondersoek in te stel na die onderliggende verwantskap tussen jeugwording en die jongmense se opvoedkundige aspirasies in hul woonbuurtkonteks. Die klem val op studente se lewenservarings in twee ruimtes, naamlik hul omgewingsruimte (die woonbuurt) en hul institusionele ruimte (die skool). Dit is 'n belangrike fokuspunt ten einde die dinamiese verwantskap te ondersoek tussen studente se ruimtelike leefdinamiek en hoe hulle daarin hul weg baan ten einde aan hul opvoedkundige aspirasies gestalte te gee. Die studie konsentreer op hoe die studente die woonbuurt en skool met betrekking tot hul opvoedkundige aspirasies beleef, en hoe hierdie aspekte in hul aspirasievormingsprosesse na vore kom. Nog 'n belangrike faktor in die studie is die studente se vorige sosialiseringsprosesse met betrekking tot hul opvoedkundige aspirasies. Die hoofuitgangspunt van die studie is dat daar 'n unieke verwantskap bestaan tussen hierdie studente se leefkontekste en hoe hulle hul opvoedkundige aspirasies daarin konstrueer en plaas. Die studie hoort tuis binne die kwalitatief-vertolkende paradigma, aangesien ek probeer beskryf en verstaan hoe hierdie studente op beredeneerde wyse uit praktyke en wisselwerkings in hul leefkontekste put om hul opvoedkundige aspirasies te vorm. Kwalitatiewe navorsingsinstrumente soos veldnotas, deelnemende en niedeelnemende waarnemings sowel as formele en informele onderhoude is gebruik om die navorsingsvraag te beantwoord en die navorsingsdoelwitte van die tesis te bereik. Die bevindings word in 'n narratiewe vorm aan die hand van tersaaklike temas aangebied en ook op 'n narratiewe grondslag ontleed. Die navorsing toon hoe die studente hulle - op grond van hul eie bronne, netwerke en wisselwerking sowel as hul eie agentskap - in verhouding tot hul opvoedkundige aspirasies plaas ten einde daaraan gestalte te gee. Sodoende onthul die studie hoe die deelnemerstudente op dualistiese wyse uit die praktyke van albei hul leefruimtes - skool en woonbuurt - put om hul opvoedkundige aspirasies te vorm; hoe hulle hul opvoedkundige-aspirasievorming as't ware 'parallel' in pas met albei voormelde twee leefkontekste navigeer.

This thesis is a theoretical-historical attribute and focuses on the theory of classes and class conflict, on the genesis of the concept of class. The thesis will analyze the authors and directions-schools that have had an impact on the ideological founder of the concept Karl Marx and also how they developed their thinking. Marx nor any other author of the term "class, classes, class" never clearly defined. It is a historical and sociological perspective on the concept of "class", which is often defined differently, and still there is any clear definition, which would approve whole academic community. In modern societies, the term "class" is not used so often and has been replaced by the concept of social stratification. In recent years, the "classes" being discussed by worldwide experts, but the solution is still not found. Nevertheless, this work is optimistic and the author clearly advocates that the term "class" will not vanish from professional sociological discourse.
