Neste trabalho, investigo as potencialidades no emprego dos guias de execução (GEs) propostos por Chaffin et al (2002), buscando entender os processos de resgate da memória de músicos que executam obras sem a utilização da partitura. Trata-se de um estudo de três casos, com pianistas próximos do estágio de profissionalização. Os três escolheram rememorizar e reapresentar obras do compositor Cláudio Santoro (1919-1989), em um período de 20 meses, durante os quais pude acompanhar e verificar a eficácia do uso desses procedimentos bem como o entendimento de cada um dos participantes com relação ao emprego das estratégias propostas. Após a coleta dos dados, analiso, apresento e discuto os resultados da aplicação dos GEs. Os dados coletados, provenientes das anotações das partituras, questionários e relatos nos diários de estudo obtidos após as execuções memorizadas e coletadas em intervalos distintos, formam a base da discussão apresentada neste trabalho. Com base nesses dados, pude traçar um perfil para cada um dos participantes por meio das categorias predominantes nos GEs utilizados bem como na evolução na aplicação desses guias durante o tempo de duração da pesquisa. O exame dos registros dos resgates de memória pelas tentativas de reescrita das partituras também contribuiu significativamente para a identificação dos GEs empregados e assimilados durante a rememorização do repertório escolhido. / This is an investigation of the possibilities afforded by the use of Chaffin‟s performance cues (PCs, 2002) in order to understand retrieval processes of musicians that choose to perform by memory. This study was conducted with three pianists on their way to becoming professional musicians. All three chose to recover and to present previously learned works by Brazilian composer Cláudio Santoro (1919-1989). During a twenty month period, I was able to monitor the efficacy of these procedures and I could also verify not only the application of PCs sets of learning strategies but also the resulting level of understanding with each one of the participants. After each of the memorized presentations data was obtained from score annotations, questionnaires, study journals and attempts at rewriting the score. These activities proceeded at scheduled intervals and the reports provide the basis for the analyses and discussions. Based on the data, it was possible to show how each participant employed diverse categories of PC sets and how each one evolved during the time of this research. An examination of the materials utilized as tools for memory retrieval contributed to reveal each individual profile and the distinct collections of PCs each one of them employed during the relearning and retrieval of the chosen repertoire.

The theoretical-empirical thesis deals with the importance of self-assessment and peer assessment for interpreter self-training. The first part is focused on the theoretical foundations of the thesis. First, the thesis covers the question of interpreting quality, its definition, and the assessment of interpreting in interpreter training. The thesis then presents the expertise theory, both in general and in the field of interpreting studies specifically, and provides recommendations by several theoreticians as to how to apply this theory in interpreter training. The next chapter clarifies certain concepts from learning theory that often appear in literature on interpreting didactics. The theoretical part concludes with a presentation of two types of tools that can be used in interpreter self-training, namely e-learning tools and reflective diaries. The empirical part then analyses data collected in two pieces of research. The first of these is a questionnaire research that aims to map the self-training habits of MA interpreting students at the Institute of Translation Studies, Faculty of Arts, Charles University, and to find out whether the students, while self-training, act in line with the expertise theory. The second piece of research is focused on peer feedback that interpreting students give to...

Text in English / The literature review indicated similarities between education and chess playing and possible transfer of knowledge between these two different domains. A link was then suggested between some aspects of intellectual abilities and chess instruction in children, but not in adults (Frydman & Lynn, 1992; Waters, Doll & Mayr, 1987). In this research study the aim was to explore the relationship between chess playing and cognitive and intellectual development in Grade R learners at Garsieland. Therefore the positive influence that chess playing brings to bear on the intelligence of 64 Grade R learners (as measured on intelligence scales) was investigated. The data was collected through short biographical questionnaires and psychometric tests and the participants in both groups were assessed on two occasions. The study suggested that chess instruction exerted a positive (small) effect on Performance intelligence and subsequently on the Global scale of the Junior South African Intelligence Scales. The children in both groups also exhibited improved cognitive development after the 40 week period during 2009. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
