The aim of this field study is to examine the following problem: To what extent has education operated on a limited and narrow perception of design principles and if so how could the implementation of the missing principles be achieved. The field study is composed of an analysis and an educational model incorporating three levels of education. In the analysis the aesthetic principles of design are investigated in relation to natural design to find out what constitutes good design. Then these design principles are used to reflect on modern social values and socio-economic behaviour. The insights gained from the socio-economic sphere are then used for analysis of education curriculum planning to see whether the principles presently used can be improved upon. Finally the Educational model using aesthetics as its central value is expressed as a possible answer to the problem.

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Capitalising on South Africa’s innovation resource through entrepreneurship in the creative industries. In light of the current global challenges as well as local needs and opportunities, there is a need for improved utilisation of South Africa’s innovation resource. Due to designers possessing creativity and the ability to innovate, it is proposed that an increase in the quality and quantity of entrepreneurship activity in the creative sectors will have notable impacts on the sustainability, competitiveness and value of South Africa’s economic activity. It is argued that designers and creative individuals inherently possess a number of entrepreneurial traits and that design education promotes the development of many entrepreneurial behaviours. Thus, it is necessary to offset and maximise these skills with the requisite businessrelated cognitions, attributes and abilities. For this reason, this study looks at the contextual characteristics and needs of small businesses operating in South African design sectors. The objective is to provide relevant and practical suggestions for improving ‘effective’ entrepreneurial activity in the design industries. The current state of entrepreneurship education in a representative sample of South African entrepreneurship courses is analysed. The outcome of this process is used as a base-line in consulting a number of experts in the South African small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector, in order to ascertain the context-specific ‘success factors’ for small businesses in South Africa. Empirical data is then gathered regarding the current state of entrepreneurship and small business content in design education in South Africa. The results of all these processes are analysed in conjunction with the empirical results regarding the individually perceived abilities and attitudes of designers currently operating small businesses in South Africa. The outcome of this analysis is a framework describing the important elements (and relationships between elements) necessary in the development of effective entrepreneurial ability. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Benutting van Suid-Afrika se innovasie hulpbron deur middel van entrepreneurskap in die kreatiewe bedrywe. In lig van die huidige wêreldwye uitdagings, insluitend die plaaslike behoeftes en geleenthede, is daar ‘n noodsaaklikheid vir die beter benutting van Suid-Afrika se innovasie-hulpbron. As gevolg van die feit dat ontwerpers oor kreatiwiteit en die vermoë om te innoveer beskik, word daar voorgestel dat ‘n verhoging in die gehalte en hoeveelheid entrepreneuriese aktiwiteite in die kreatiewe sektore ‘n beduidende impak op die volhoubaarheid, mededingendheid en waarde toevoeging van Suid-Afrika se ekonomiese aktiwiteite sal hê. Daar word geredeneer dat ontwerpers en kreatiewe individue oor ‘n bepaalde aantal intrinsieke entrepreneuriese eienskappe beskik en verder dat ‘n aantal entrepreneuriese gedragspatrone deur ontwerp onderwys ontwikkel en bevorder kan word. Dit is daarom nodig om hierdie vaardighede met die vereiste sake beginsels, eienskappe en vermoëns te versterk en optimeer. Om hierdie rede ondersoek hierdie studie die kontekstuele eienskappe en behoeftes van klein sake-ondernemings in die Suid-Afrikaanse ontwerp sektore. Die doel is om toepaslike en praktiese voorstelle vir die verbetering van ‘effektiewe’ entrepreneuriese aktiwiteite in die ontwerp nywerhede te voorsien. Die huidige stand van entrepreneurskap-onderwys is bepaal deur ‘n verteenwoordigende steekproef van die Suid-Afrikaanse entrepreneurskap kursusse te ontleed. Die uitkoms van hierdie proses word gebruik as ‘n basis-lyn in die raadpleging van ‘n aantal deskundiges in die Suid- Afrikaanse klein sake-sektor, ten einde die konteks-spesifieke ‘sukses faktore’ vir klein ondernemings in Suid-Afrika vas te stel. Empiriese data word dan versamel met betrekking tot die huidige stand van die entrepreneurskap en kleinsake inhoud wat in die ontwerp onderwys van Suid-Afrika vervat word. Die resultate van al hierdie prosesse is ontleed tesame met die empiriese resultate wat verkry is ten opsigte van die vermoëns en houdings wat gekoppel word aan ontwerpers wat tans werksaam is in die klein ondernemings in Suid-Afrika. Die uitkoms van hierdie analise poog om ‘n raamwerk daar te stel vir die beskrywing van die belangrikste elemente (en verhoudings tussen elemente) wat benodig word in die ontwikkeling van effektiewe entrepreneuriese vermoëns.

A Promoção da Saúde representa um novo paradigma na organização dos serviços de saúde e na estruturação do cuidar no processo saúde-doença ao reconhecer e intervir nas potencialidades existentes nos modos de viver e de trabalhar em um determinado momento histórico e social. Para tanto, um dos desafios para a consolidação do Sistema Único de Saúde refere-se à capacitação da força de trabalho em saúde a fim de rever o emprego da pedagogia tradicional nos processos educativos e contribuir na superação do modelo biomédico, especialmente, na Atenção Básica da Saúde. Nesta perspectiva, o projeto “Nossas crianças: janelas de oportunidades", vinculado ao Programa de Saúde da Família, realizou oficinas de capacitação que extrapolaram a atenção ao corpo biológico, englobando também a dimensão afetiva e social no cuidado da criança por meio do fortalecimento das competências familiares. Foram objetivos deste estudo: analisar o conteúdo, as estratégias e os métodos avaliativos da capacitação à luz da Promoção da Saúde e identificar as tendências pedagógicas que permeiam tal processo. Recorreu-se à análise documental deste processo, cujos diferentes registros foram categorizados, respectivamente, a partir da perspectiva freireana e das Dimensões de Saúde e Bem Estar de Ronald Labonte. Resultados: os conteúdos da Promoção da Saúde difundidos na capacitação incorporaram conceitos como eqüidade, resiliência, defesa dos direitos, emancipação, autonomia, patrimônio, redes sociais, cooperação e participação na abordagem dos profissionais de saúde para o cuidado infantil através da família. A capacitação dos multiplicadores realizada foi embasada em vertentes críticas da pedagogia e representadas pelas categorias freireanas: autonomia e liberdade dos sujeitos, bem querer aos educandos, complementaridade objetiva e subjetiva, compromisso com a mudança, educação permanente dos seres humanos, horizontalidade das relações de poder, práxis dialógica e reflexão crítica da realidade. Conclui-se que, processos educativos embasados em pedagogias críticas favorecem a incorporação de um novo referencial para o cuidado infantil à luz do conceito positivo de saúde e a criação de um espaço acolhedor capaz de emancipar sujeitos para transformar os perfis de saúde-doença da população / Health Promotion represents a new pattern in health services organization and in the caring structure of health-disease process by recognizing and intervening in the existing potentialities of living and working styles in a particular historical and social moment. For such, one of the challenges for the Brazilian Health System consolidation refers to capability of work force in health in order to review the use of traditional pedagogy in educative processes and to contribute to biomedical model surplus, specially in the primary health services. In this perspective the project \"Our Children: Windows of Opportunities\", linked to Family Health Program, performed capability workshops which have extrapolated the attention to biological body, including also the emotional and social dimension of children care through strengthening of domestic capability. The objectives of this study were: to analyze the content, the strategies and capability evaluation methods in light of Health Promotion and to identify pedagogical tendencies which permeate such process. The documental analysis of this process was retrieved, which different records were classified, respectively, starting from Paulo Freire’s perspective and Health and Well-Being Dimensions of Ronald Labonte. Conclusion: the contents of Health Promotion diffused in the capability, have incorporated concepts such as equity, resilience, rights defense, emancipation, autonomy, patrimony, social networks, cooperation and participation in the contact with health professionals for children care through family. The qualification of new educators was based on critical pedagogical lines of thinking and represented by category: autonomy and freedom of people, be fond of students, objective and subjective completion, commitment with changes, permanent education of human being, horizontal power relations, praxis dialogical and critical mediation of reality. It is concluded that, educational processes based on critical pedagogy benefits the incorporation of a new reference for children care in light of positive concept of health and the creation of a friendly space able to emancipate subjects to transform the health-disease profile of population

With the results obtained in this first cycle we can adjust the model, and then obtain satisfactory results.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to identify, propound, create and verify own educational models and aids usable for teaching physics. Models and aids are selected according to the Framework Educational Program for the second grade of elementary school. Models already created are verified and described, alternatively modified.

The interest of this paper is based on presenting the importance of educational instruction today, in general and in particular the accounting career. This, it should be noted, is part of the development trends of cognitive skills, instrumental skills and values that a person must acquire during the education period at a higher educational institution, which will allow the graduate to be competent to begin the professional practice.The complexity that is involved in the public accountant career in both their education based on international standards like the attributes to be displayed in the quality of performance, has forced higher education experts to guide newways of undertaking the education strategy. This is accomplished through the adoption of models consistent with the demands of society and the employment market. Of these, competencies education is one of the models that best contribute to the learning process, allowing at the potential accounting professional to develop skills, abilities and attitudes needed to join into the labor market successfully. In this sense, the college, university, or an academic unit faculty, school, program) - they decided to adopt, provide and ensure competencies education, mustdo according to the guidelines proposed for teaching methodologies, social responsibility and the business world. Similarly, should be based on participatory action committed by students and teachers, and the respect for human values. Within this scheme, it must prioritize the humanistic education of the person in their professional projection. / El interés de presentar esta ponencia radica en la importancia que tiene en la actualidad la formación educativa en general y la carrera de contabilidad en particular. Ello, cabe anotar, se enmarca en las tendencias de desarrollo de competencias cognitivas, habilidades instrumentales y valores que debe adquirir una persona durante el proceso de formación profesional en una entidad educativa superior, que le permita al egresar ser competente para iniciar el ejercicio profesional. La complejidad en que se ve envuelta la carrera de contador público —tanto en su formación basada en estándares internacionales como en los atributos que debe mostrar en la calidad del desempeño— ha obligado a los especialistas en educación superior a orientar nuevas formas de acometer la estrategia educativa. Ello se lleva a cabo mediante la adopción de modelos acordes con las exigencias de la sociedad y el mercado laboral. De todos ellos, la formación por competencias se erige como uno de los modelos que mejor contribuye con el proceso de aprendizaje, pues permite al potencial profesional contable desarrollar las capacidades, habilidades y actitudes necesarias para incursionar en el mercado laboral con éxito. Por su parte, la entidad educativa —una universidad, o una unidad académica (facultad, escuela, programa)— que decide adoptar, ofrecer y asegurar una formación por competencias, debe hacerlo sobre los lineamientos que proponen las metodologías pedagógicas, la responsabilidad social y el mundo empresarial. Del mismo modo, debe basarse en la acción participativa comprometida de estudiantes y docentes, y el respeto de los valores humanos. Dentro de ese esquema, debe privilegiar la formación humanística de la persona en su proyección profesional.

This thesis deals with the preference of pupils at secondary schools (gymnasia) for different types of teaching aids in zoology education. The main objective was to determine whether the pupils rate educational models as more attractive than the real zoological preserved specimens and whether their preferences are related to their susceptibility to potentially phobic stimuli, realism of the object or whether preferences differ between the sexes. Selected models included entire animals as well as animal organs. The research was conducted at selected secondary schools (gymnasia) in Prague and Jablonec nad Nisou using a questionnaire and a preference test. Secondary school pupils and their biology teachers participated in this research. The realistic design of each object was assessed by researchers and students from the Faculty of Science Charles University using a scale questionnaire. The results showed that students rated the real zoological preserved specimens as more attractive compared to teaching models, with no dependence on whether the objects were entire or anatomical. Effect of gender on overall preference has not been showed; however, the boys had a tendency to evaluate generally unpopular organisms more positively than girls. No influence of susceptibility to potentially phobic stimuli,...

Dagens samhälle präglas av en ständig förändring och utveckling, vilket ställer krav på att skolan ska utvecklas i samma takt som det övriga samhället. Skolan ska vara likvärdig för alla. Hur kan detta försäkras om man inte vet vilka faktorer som påverkar en implementering av pedagogiska modeller? Genom att säkerställa de faktorer som påverkar implementeringen kan också ett bättre resultat uppnås. Därmed blir det troligare att den nya pedagogiska modellen används och blir en del av den dagliga verksamheten. För att möjliggöra en implementering genomförs ett förändringsarbete i organisationen. Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ studie vars syfte är att undersöka vilka faktorer lärare upplever kan påverka implementeringsresultatet av en ny pedagogisk modell i skolan. Undersökningen har genomförts på tre skolor i en kommun i Sverige. Intervjuformen har varit semistrukturerad varav två har hållits i grupp och en enskild. Genom intervjuerna har vi samlat empiri till vår studie. Resultatet visar att det finns många olika faktorer som påverkar, ofta i kombination med varandra, till hur väl en implementering blir. De faktorer som är betydande och har uppkommit i vår undersökning är följande: Relevans, inställning, fördelaktig, lättanvänd, anpassningsbar, coaching, stöttning, tid, delaktighet, system för uppföljning, tydliga resultat, kultur och kommunikation. / Todays society is characterized by a constant change and development, which requires the school to develop at the same rate as the rest of society. The school should be equivalent to everyone. How can this be insured if we do not know which factors that affect the implementation of educational models? By ensuring the factors that affect implementation, better results can be achieved. This makes it more likely that the new educational model is used and becomes part of the everyday work. To make an implementation possible, a change work is carried out in the organization. We have conducted a qualitative study whose purpose is to study which factors teachers experience may affect the implementation of a new educational model in school. The survey has been conducted at three schools in a town in Sweden. The form of the interview has been semi-structured, two of which have been held in groups and one individual. Through the interviews we have acquired empirical evidence for our study. The result show that there are many different factors that affects, often in combination with each other, how well an implementation results in. The factors that are significant and have been made visible in our survey are the following: Relevance, attitude, advantageous, easy-to-use, customizable, coaching, support, time, participation, follow-up systems, clear results, culture and communication.
