Adolescent motivation and learning in a summer youth employment programMcCausland, Suzy G. 04 May 1995 (has links)
Summer Youth Employment Programs (SYEPs) provide disadvantaged youth
jobs and employment experiences. These federally funded programs meet a practical
need to help adolescents earn money and have positive summer activities. In addition,
federal administrators have implemented program requirements designed to give youth
relevant training for future employment.
One federal requirement for SYEPs is that all youth are to be screened to
determine their basic reading and math skills. In addition to a job, local programs are
to provide remedial instruction to youth who fail to meet minimum standards for
reading and math. In 1994, SYEPs were also mandated to provide "educational
enrichment" for at least half of all participating youth.
This study was an evaluation of a SYEP in a Northwestern State and its
implementation of different models of employment, remediation, and educational
enrichment. Each model was operated in conjunction with a job. For youth who
qualified for academic remediation, the two programs were a remedial class or on-the-job
remedial enrichment. For youth who did not require remediation, the two models
were a job alone or a job with educational enrichment.
Outcomes evaluated included self-esteem using the Rosenberg Self Esteem
Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), self-mastery with the Mastery Scale (Pearlin & Schooler,
1978), and intellectual responsibility using the Intellectual Achievement Responsibility
Scale (Crandall & Crandall, 1965). Job-related reading and math skills were screened
at program intake with the Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System
(CASAS) (1988) and as a post-test for youth receiving remediation.
For remedial youth, all significant findings favored youth in enrichment
projects rather than in remedial classes. For non-remedial youth, those in a job alone,
rather than in a job with enrichment, had the most positive outcomes. The study
suggests research to change the motivational patterns of adolescents in local programs
is needed before additional program interventions are mandated. Missing data and
non-random assignment of youth and staff to program groups were problematic. / Graduation date: 1995

Access to employment : work and citizenship in Diepkloof.Masemola, Rebone 15 September 2014 (has links)
The report is divided into four main chapters: The first chapter introduces the topic, relevant
literature and details surrounding the event and context. The second chapter gives a detailed
ethnographic and historical background of Soweto and Diepkloof, and will discuss the
conditions under which the Township was founded. It also shows how the development of the
Diepkloof Square only served to reinforce existing social differences that have been imagined
by the employed and the unemployed residents over the years. Chapter three focuses on the
tensions between the employed and the unemployed members of Diepkloof, and will discuss
and analyze the resident’s perspectives on work and citizenship. Chapter four looks at the
dynamics that I have observed between Diepkloof Business Forum (DBF), state
representatives and the developers, discusses and highlights many of the contradictions which
I came across during the research. It came to my attention that there was a sufficient amount
of press coverage from prominent newspapers around the scandals that overshadowed the
building and the opening of the shopping centre, and as a result I begin by looking through
the newspaper archives covered by the media as part of the methodology. The process
allowed me to reconstruct a timeline of events leading to the hiring of workers and the
opening of the retailers, and to understand the role played by the media in the recreation of
the narrative around the Diepkloof Square project. I also got in contact with many of the
participants through references from existing participants and through being referred. It
concludes that the controversial promises of jobs were never kept by the developers and state
representatives, thus has looked at how parties within the Township contested the sense of
what the developers owed to the residents. The focus is particularly on questions about the
link between work on the one hand and the dynamics of citizenship or belonging on the other.

A comparative study of the employment equity at the University of Limpopo and the University of Venda for Science and TechnologyAjani, Yetunde January 2005 (has links)
Thesis (M.A) (Psychology)--University of Limpopo,2005. / This study investigates developments with regard to employment equity at the University
of Limpopo, Turfloop Campus (UL) and University of Venda for Science and
Technology (UNIVEN). Questionnaires from 139 respondents at UNIVEN and 159 at
UL were analyzed. All the respondents are staff members of both institutions drawn
from academic, administrative and technical staff. It was found that there have been
positive changes for designated groups since the Employment Equity Act, No. 55 of
1998, was promulgated. When the two institutions were compared, independent sample
T-tests indicated that there was no significant difference between the two institutions in
terms of progress made in employment equity. From the findings it was thus concluded
that there has been a gradual improvement in recruitment procedures, advertising and
selection criteria, appointments and the appointment process, job classification and
grading, remuneration, employment benefits and terms of conditions of employment, job
assignments, the working environment and facilities, training and development,
performance evaluation systems, promotion, transfer, demotion, and disciplinary
measures among others at UNIVEN and UL. / Espen Walderhaug for financial assistance
