nÃo hà / Com a presente tese de doutoramento, analiso as interfaces entre o movimento intelectual, polÃtico, artÃstico e cultural internacional e seus desdobramentos no Brasil, especificamente, na cidade de Fortaleza, entre os anos de 1960 e 1970. AtravÃs da memÃria de alunos e professores, utilizando entrevistas orais, conheÃo as trajetÃrias individuais e coletivas que se tornaram roteiros de projetos artÃsticos e culturais e envolveram seus autores em leituras e experiÃncias culturais e educacionais suscitadas por movimentos ideolÃgicos intelectuais. Dessa forma, procuro entender como as experiÃncias e a formaÃÃo de alunos e professores nas instituiÃÃes de ensino (escolas e universidade) acabaram influenciando o processo educativo e artÃstico de alunos e professores nos anos de 1960 e 1970 e a inserÃÃo desses âartistasâ na indÃstria cultural nos anos de 1970. A partir da prosopografia, busco entender essas trajetÃrias, suas prÃticas educativas (o saber formal), suas experiÃncias na articulaÃÃo polÃtica e na arte, especialmente, no teatro e na mÃsica, como produtoras de um saber que dava sentido à vida, numa cidade como Fortaleza, sem muita infraestrutura. Apesar disso lhes proporcionava determinados lugares para essas manifestaÃÃes, que ocorriam entre lares, bares e a Universidade Federal do CearÃ, a Ãpoca, a grande potencializadora do conhecimento no CearÃ, por meio de debates, de encontros e de exposiÃÃo da produÃÃo artÃstica, unindo o conhecimento formal e o informal com outros centros universitÃrios como UFPE, UFPB, UFPI, UFRN, UNB e USP, os quais se articulavam, refletiam e produziam sobre a realidade local e nacional. Essas experiÃncias e discussÃes polÃticas e culturais nas instituiÃÃes de ensino secundÃrio, na Universidade, no ISEB (Instituto Superior de Estudos Brasileiros) no MCP (Movimento de Cultura Popular), no MEB (Movimento de EducaÃÃo de Base) e no CPC (Centro Popular de Cultura), que discutiam Paulo Freire e suas propostas educacionais, aproximaram intelectuais, professores e artistas ligados a estas instituiÃÃes, almejando instrumentalizar politicamente uma memÃria nacional âengajadaâ, demarcando a antinomia sobre o nacional e o popular na cultura brasileira em torno da mudanÃa de comportamento polÃtico, educacional, cultural e estÃtico dos jovens. Por outro lado, com o golpe civil-militar de 1964, muitos desses sujeitos seguem caminhos distintos: alguns se engajam na luta armada, outros se aproximam da seguranÃa do emprego e do salÃrio como professores na Universidade, outros enveredam nas artes cÃnicas, nas artes plÃsticas e alguns se tornam artistas conhecidos, conseguindo espaÃo, com suas mÃsicas, no difÃcil mercado da indÃstria fonogrÃfica. A exegese das reminiscÃncias, à Ãpoca, de estudantes, professores artistas, fornece elementos importantes para reflexÃo e entendimento das transformaÃÃes socioculturais e educativas nos anos de 1960 e 1970 do sÃculo XX na cidade de Fortaleza.

According to a survey, the majority of fourth grade students in 2005 did not choose reading as a preferred activity for entertainment (Guthrie, McRae, & Klauda, 2007). Adolescents are increasingly resistant to reading and seldom list it as a pleasurable activity. Interestingly, research shows that students who enjoy reading more do better academically (Gambrell, 2011). Accordingly, as a teacher I seek to increase students' reading for pleasure. To give space in my curriculum for students to do this and for me to support them, I used Sustained Silent Reading (SSR), a practice where students are given time to read a text of their choosing during class time. Adhering to LaBoskey's (2004) criteria for self-studies, I conducted a self-study of teacher practices. There were two rounds of field notes with critical friend commentary that allowed me to identify types of readers and types of responses. To present my findings, I developed vignettes to capture my field notes about types of readers and I identified field notes that captured general and specific responses to readers for which I provided exemplar on my findings. I also attended to trustworthiness. This study explored what I as a teacher know and learned about increasing my students' engagement with reading for pleasure during SSR time. By categorizing my students' habits and charting my responses and interventions, I was able to understand what practices to use to encourage students to read for pleasure according to their characteristics.

This dissertation used an experience sampling design to examine effects of experienced workplace incivility from three categories of organizational insiders (coworkers, supervisors, and physicians) and from organizational outsiders (patients and their visitors) on targets' emotions, burnout, physical symptoms, and their own uncivil behaviors toward each of the four groups of people. Data were collected from 75 nurses with each nurse responding to online surveys twice per week for 5 consecutive weeks. Results from hierarchical linear modeling showed that within individuals, negative emotions were positively associated with experienced workplace incivility (overall and source-specific), burnout was positively associated with overall workplace incivility and incivility from coworkers, and that physical symptoms were positively associated with experienced workplace incivility from supervisors. In addition, within individuals overall and source-specific experienced workplace incivility all positively predicted targets' own uncivil behaviors correspondingly. None of the proposed moderating effects of three between-person level personality traits (emotional stability, hostile attribution bias, and emotional competence) were supported, and the only significant moderating effect found was that emotional stability moderated the relationship between experienced workplace incivility from- and targets' own uncivil behaviors toward- supervisors was opposite to the prediction. Further, both violence prevention climate and civility climate showed main effects in negatively predicting participants' own uncivil behaviors, but only violence prevention and two of its dimensions (policies and procedures, and pressure for unsafe practices) buffered some of the negative effects of experienced workplace incivility. In summary, the current study found that within individuals experienced workplace incivility had negative effects on targets' emotions, well-being, and behaviors, and that perceived violence prevention climate buffered some of the negative effects.

This thesis examines the political activism of Vietnamese Engaged Buddhism in the 1960s, particularly the Struggle Movement for social justice and democracy of 1963 and the Peace Movement of 1966. It explores the Buddhist leaders' motives and their political means to deal with Saigon military government and senior advisors to the White House. The thesis sets out to prove that socially and politically Engaged Buddhism is inherent in the Buddhist tradition and not alien to Buddha's teachings. It also proves that Vietnamese Buddhism has always been engaged since the dawn of Vietnamese history. The Buddhism Peace Movement is assessed in accordance with Buddhist principles such as non-violence and non-attachment to temporal power. Except a few minor incidents, it was found that the Buddhist leaders strictly adhered to the non-violent principle and Vietnamese Engaged Buddhism could have provided a political alternative, the Politics of Enlightenment, which could avert the unnecessary destruction of the Vietnam War / Master of Science (Hons) Social Ecology

We shall examine the Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) of Computer Science (CS) teachers concerning students’ Computational Thinking (CT) problem solving skills within the context of a CS course in Dutch secondary education and thus obtain an operational definition of CT and ascertain appropriate teaching methodology. Next we shall develop an instrument to assess students’ CT and design a curriculum intervention geared toward teaching and improving students’ CT problem solving skills and competences. As a result, this research will yield an operational definition of CT, knowledge about CT PCK, a CT assessment instrument and teaching materials and accompanying teacher instructions. It shall contribute to CS teacher education, development of CT education and to education in other (STEM) subjects where CT plays a supporting role, both nationally and internationally.

Architektur umgibt uns permanent. Sie ist so alltäglich wie Sprache, ebenso allgegenwärtig, meistens beiläufig. Diese Arbeit untersucht auf sozialtheoretischer Ebene am Beispiel der Architektur, inwiefern die sozialwissenschaftliche Kategorie der „Definition der Situation“ erweitert werden kann, um Kategorien wie Leiblichkeit oder Räumlichkeit adäquat für den Entwurf sozialer Handlungen zu berücksichtigen.

Over the past two decades researchers have analyzed motivating factors and institutional barriers that influenced a professor's initial decision to utilize a service-learning pedagogy. The majority of this research has been quantitative in nature, surveying faculty members' initial attitudes around service-learning. However, the extant literature fails to qualitatively examine the experiences of faculty members who successfully integrate service-learning, especially at a public research institution with civic-engaged mission. Because a public institution relies upon a critical mass of faculty members to support its civic engagement mission, this study focused on explaining the lived experience of exemplar professors in service-learning to understanding their motivations, barriers, and experiences. Faculty members are important to study because service-learning is a form of community engagement that cannot happen without sustainable efforts from professors. Moreover, students and communities cannot derive the benefits of service-learning, nor can civically minded institutions achieve their goal, if faculty members do not incorporate service-learning into their classrooms. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to understand the experiences of service-learning faculty members at a four-year public research institution where community engagement is a stated priority. Utilizing a recently developed faculty engagement model (Demb & Wade, 2012) as the guiding theoretical framework, this research study seeks to understand the lived experience of faculty members at The University of Texas at Austin by inquiring 1) how faculty members implement meaningful community engagement through their service-learning classes, 2) how service-learning may shape a faculty members' professional and personal identity at a research institution, and 3) how service-learning fits into faculty members' larger scholarship agenda. / text

In response to competitive and economic pressures, an increasing number of manufacturing firms are adding services to their traditional product offerings. However, companies are confronted with an arduous undertaking, and find it difficult to servitize successfully and profitably. This thesis investigates the transformation that traditional manufacturers undergo to become providers of integrated products and services, a phenomenon known as servitization. Servitization is considered a strategic re-direction of the manufacturing organisation and a major challenge for senior management. The purpose of this study is to provide better understanding of the change that occurs when a manufacturer attempts servitization. The study adopts a qualitative theory building approach to investigate an under-researched phenomenon and a major managerial challenge. It follows a strategy of engaged scholarship to understand a complex organisational problem. The research utilised multiple case studies, action research, and focus groups to tackle a problem with significance to industry. The findings reveal the nature of servitization as a complex transformative change which exposes the manufacturing company to its environment in new ways, and closely interlinks the organisation with a network of stakeholders through new dependencies. The transformation of traditional manufacturers towards servitized organisations is multi-dimensional and goes through eleven dimensions of transformation across the organisation and its network. In addition, thirty nine forces of change were found to influence the outcome of servitization, and were categorised into three sets of change drivers for servitization. The results of the study led to the formation of a model for transformation towards a servitized organisation for use by industry practitioners to roadmap and facilitate their organisation‟s shift towards services. The model represents a novel approach to managing servitization. This research has addressed a literature gap and met an industrial need, and has made a significant contribution to knowledge about the change that traditional manufacturers experience to become servitized organisations.
