<p> This thesis investigates how Generation iY students perceive that social media and / or texting technology has influenced their ability to track and comprehend the subtleties of face-to-face communication within an academic setting. Generation iY is defined as those born between the years 1982 to 2004. Also involved in this study are members of the faculty and staff that teach Generation iY. The theories being applied and examined in this study include, Postman's Technology Ecology, McLuhan's Media Ecology, and Ong's Orality and Literacy. These theories while addressing different aspects of technological change, all agree that the change is all encompassing with every advancement in technology. The study consisted of four focus groups. Two groups consist of Generation iY, and two groups of faculty and staff. Comparative analysis was utilized to point out the similarities and differences between the focus groups. This study has revealed that while Generation iY said that they prefer face to face communication; they are intimidated, fearful of judgment, overwhelmed, and lack the sense of responsibility that is inherent with face-to-face communication. They find social media and texting a more comfortable means of communication because it requires less effort and minimizes consequences. The quotes given by the Generation iYers in this study are in accord with what Elmore (2010), writes about them, Generation iY is isolated yet connected. Generation iY has an overdeveloped attachment to their peer group via social media. The faculty of Generation iY cites this as a major reason why Generation iY struggle with critical thinking. Weiler (2004), supports these concerns as she indicates that they gather information for the wrong reasons. They use critical thinking in order to prove their beliefs right to their peer group instead of trying to find answers to problems.</p>

The thesis is focused on the comparison of the differences in nursing the clients who went through the operation of legs´ varicose veins. Specifically, the nursing after an ambulatory Sumery made with a laser and the nursing after a conventional surgary with subsequent hospitalization were compared. The research was also aimed at the communication and the education of the nurses which are considered as an inherent part of the nursing. The results of the study show that the transfer of information, education and the communication in general are crucial in nursing and require an individual approach to the client.

The purpose of this study is to identify and compare the skills and knowledge areas that are valuable for success in broadcast advertising sales from the perspectives of broadcast managers and broadcast educators and to identify and compare to what degree recent graduates of broadcast-communication, business, and other majors perform or exhibit these skills and knowledge areas as perceived by selected broadcast managers and broadcast educators. The opinions of the broadcast managers and broadcast educators were determined from responses to a questionnaire of fifty-six items. The questionnaires were distributed to the chairs of the departments or areas responsible for broadcast curricula at forty-two four-year universities as listed by the 1983 Broadcasting-Cablecasting Yearbook [Sol Taishoff, editor, Washington, Broadcasting Magazine] as offering degrees in broadcasting, and 126 broadcast managers who were randomly selected from the broadcast markets in which the forty-two educational institutions are located.

Their jobs are accomplished through communication as they motivate soldiers and sailors, who in turn physically accomplish the diverse missions of the military. Junior officers in the Navy and Marine Corps hold key and challenging positions in any ship or unit. While they rarely originate any major initiatives or missions, they almost always give the final order or direction. Therefore they must be able to accurately communicate both up and down the chain of command. While communicating comes easily to some junior officers, many struggle with it, and most have room for improvement. The USNA recognizes the important role that it can play in developing junior officer communication abilities. One of the Academy's strategic initiatives is Oral and Written Communications Excellence. The focus of this thesis is oral communications. This thesis will identify what type of oral communications are prevalent in the fleet, what the important communication skills are that a junior officer must master, and how the Naval Academy and other institutions can help develop these skills in the future leaders of the Navy and Marine Corps. / Lieutenant, United States Naval Reserve

Our teledramaturgy presents and discusses the diversified Brazilian everyday life. The telenovela Lado a Lado (Side by Side, Globo, 2012/2013) showed the Brazilian modernization process during the first decades of the last century by focusing on the everyday lives of the people of Rio de Janeiro. The story discussed territorial disputes in the urban space, racism, African religion and culture, the integration of black people in society, among other topics. We argue that this particular work offers important resources for the debate on the question of black culture nowadays. It also allows us to reflect upon the shift of the hegemonic place of speech in historical narratives, as in Lado a Lado the narrators are the poor and black people. Our theoretical framework rests in the field of Communication/Education as well as in the studies of the interfaces Communication/Consumption. The media system takes part of the educational process, as discussed within the field Communication/Education. The media and the school systems are bound together with cultural consumption, a central practice in contemporary life. Our study aimed to comprehend the communicational interaction between school and the informal pedagogy of the telenovela. In the qualitative empirical study we undertook, we tried to establish a dialogue between the discourses in the plot and their reception by the teachers. We interviewed ten selected teachers from three schools in the city of São Paulo: a state school and two private schools. From these interviews, we were able to analyse the cultural consumption of these teachers and the ways they use the media in their classrooms, with emphasis on television. It was our idea to investigate how media consumption intertwines with the educational process by its regular presence in the everyday lives of teachers and students alike. We discussed the pedagogical potential of the telenovela and its approach within the school environment. We analysed how teachers receive and reinterpret this type of content in their practice. We sought to reflect upon the ways in which this work of fiction could complement the work of professionals who promote the construction of knowledge and of the critical sense in the formation of their young students. For most teachers, the school is the place for education, par excellence. They have a predominantly functionalist view of Communication and they worry greatly about the possible negative effects of the media on our youth. We understand that education plays a leading role in the construction of knowledge, which closely relates with the construction of citizenship. However, we argue that communication and cultural consumption also play a part in this process. In the complexity of today’s world, we conclude that reaching a balance point among the different social agents that form the current multifaceted educational ecosystem constitutes one of the main challenges in contemporary education. / Esta pesquisa versa sobre o uso da produção televisiva brasileira em sala de aula nas escolas de ensino Fundamental e Médio. Nosso objeto, a telenovela Lado a Lado (Rede Globo, 2012/2013), mostrou a modernização brasileira dos primeiros anos do século passado ao focalizar a vida dos habitantes da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e discutir o preconceito, o racismo, as disputas territoriais no espaço urbano, a religião e a cultura africana, a integração do negro na sociedade, dentre outros temas. Entendemos a teledramaturgia como um dos lugares onde se apresentam e se discutem diversas questões relativas ao diversificado cotidiano brasileiro. Essa telenovela oferece insumos importantes para o debate sobre a questão do negro na atualidade e permite, ainda, refletir sobre o deslocamento do lugar de fala hegemônico da narrativa histórica dos vencedores para os vencidos pois, em Lado a Lado, os narradores da trama são os excluídos negros e pobres. Trabalhamos com os aportes teóricos do campo Comunicação/Educação e dos estudos das interfaces Comunicação/Consumo. No campo Comunicação/Educação, compreende-se o sistema midiático como parte integrante dos processos educacionais, discute-se as inter-relações entre mídia e escola como um processo dinâmico no qual também está envolvido o consumo, entendido como prática cultural central na contemporaneidade. Nosso estudo buscou compreender como se constitui a interação comunicacional entre a escola e a pedagogia não formal da telenovela brasileira. Na pesquisa empírica, de abordagem qualitativa, procuramos estabelecer um diálogo entre os discursos da trama e sua recepção por parte dos professores. Nessa pesquisa de campo, foram entrevistados dez professores selecionados em três escolas da Grande São Paulo, sendo uma pública e duas da rede particular. Com base nas entrevistas, analisamos o consumo cultural destes educadores e as formas de uso da mídia em sala de aula, com ênfase na televisão. A ideia foi investigar como o consumo midiático atravessa, devido à sua presença cotidiana em nossas vidas, o processo educativo. Discutimos sobre o potencial pedagógico da telenovela e sua abordagem no contexto escolar. Analisamos como esse conteúdo é recebido e ressignificado pelos educadores. Procuramos refletir sobre como o conteúdo ficcional pode vir a complementar o trabalho dos profissionais que promovem a construção de conhecimento e o senso crítico na formação de jovens estudantes. Para a maioria dos entrevistados, é a escola que tem o dever de educar. Predomina a visão funcionalista da Comunicação e há uma grande preocupação com efeitos nefastos da mídia sobre os jovens. Entendemos ser indiscutível o papel da educação como uma instância de peso na construção de conhecimento, o que está relacionado à construção de cidadania. Entretanto, destacamos que esta construção transita hoje também pela comunicação e o consumo cultural. Diante da complexidade do contemporâneo, concluímos que encontrar um equilíbrio entre os diferentes atores sociais que constituem o multifacetado ecossistema educativo constitui um dos principais desafios da educação na atualidade.

This thesis adverts to an educational problems of parents, how do they perceive manner and content of information presented, how do they adapt to their child?s disease, what do they lack and what restricts them from satisfying their needs. Complex care for small patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorder should also encompass a degree of care towards parents. A nurse must, likewise, refer to their needs, knowledge, attitude, care about their mental condition, and provide them during the whole time with professional help and mental encouragement throughout coping with their difficult and demanding life situation, which the disease, the musculoskeletal disorder of their child, undoubtedly is. An outlook of nurses of this problem is also a part of this thesis.
