A qualitative exploration of autism and transition into further and higher educationSimmons, Amy L. January 2019 (has links)
In this thesis, I explore 42 autistic individuals’ transitions into further and higher
education (FHE) in England, drawing on personal experience as well as
interview data. I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome in 1998 at the age
of 13. At the age of 15, my mother introduced the topic to me, and autism soon
became the foundation of my socio-political identity. The discussion is divided
into three themes; stigma and perception management strategies, formal and
informal support networks and the interplay of autism with institutional factors.
I draw upon Tringo’s (1970) work on the hierarchy of impairment and
Goffman’s (1963) work on stigma. Tringo’s (1970) hierarchy of impairment led
me to my intra-communal hierarchy of impairment (perpetuated by autistic
individuals against autistic individuals) and Goffman’s (1963) work on stigma
led me to my four degrees of openness; autistic individuals can be
indiscriminately open, or indiscriminately reticent, but openness if relevant,
and openness if necessary, are more common strategies. UPIAS’ (1976) work
on the social model of disability laid the foundation for my socio-political
identity and this thesis. I argue autism has been largely absent from the
political arena. I outline how there are four ideals; the ideals of self-regulation,
normalcy, ability and independence. Eager to conform to these ideals, eager
to self-present as ‘independent’, ‘self-regulating’, ‘normal’ or ‘capable’, some autistic students are reluctant to request support and accommodations, complicating the transition to FHE.

The support needs of life orientation teachers in the Further Education and Training BandStrydom, Verena Zita 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEdPsych)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South African youth are confronted by a range of challenges on a daily basis which can
potentially evolve into serious barriers to learning and development. Life Orientation is
a critical subject offered by the Further Education and Training (FET) band as it aims to
prevent the development of such problems. Furthermore, the role played by the teacher
in successfully and meaningfully presenting Life Orientation is a pivotal one. This study
therefore aimed at understanding the support needs of Life Orientation teachers in the
FET band in order to gain insight into the challenges experienced and what
recommendations can be made to improve support to teachers, and consequently,
learners. The theoretical framework on which this study was based was positive
psychology as its emphasis on the fostering of positive individual traits, emotions and
institutions is an appropriate and constructive way of understanding teachers’ support
needs within their school communities.
This study’s research methodology can be described as basic qualitative research which
is embedded within an interpretive paradigm. Purposive sampling was used to select
three schools and their Life Orientation departments as research participants. Three
methods of data collection were employed, namely written reflective notes and semistructured
focus group- and individual interviews. Furthermore, qualitative content
analysis was used to analyse the data.
The research findings indicated that Life Orientation teachers in the FET band
experience a range of support needs across the various levels within the school
community. Teachers experience a tension between the expectations of the Department
of Education, the needs of the learners, and their own expectations with regards to the
facilitation of a community of care within the Life Orientation classroom. Support
therefore needs to be aimed at increasing teachers’ competencies and providing
opportunities to collaborate with other teachers to develop positive individual traits and
foster positive emotions. Furthermore, school communities need to become aware of
their attitudes and perceptions towards the subject so as to initiate processes which can
lead to the promotion and development of positive, supportive institutions. A critical
step in doing so is to consider policies regarding the appointment of Life Orientation
teachers and ensure that qualified, specialist teachers who believe in the value of the
subject are employed in these posts. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse jeug word daagliks gekonfronteer met ‘n wye spektrum uitdagings
wat potensiëel tot ernstige hindernisse vir leer en ontwikkeling kan ontwikkel.
Lewensoriëntering is ’n noodsaaklike vak in die Verdere Onderwys en Opleidingsband
(VOO) juis omdat dit poog om die ontwikkeling van hierdie hindernisse te verhoed. Die
rol van die opvoeder in die suksesvolle en betekenisvolle aanbieding van
Lewensoriëntering is deuslaggewend. Daarom poog hierdie studie om die
ondersteuningsbehoeftes van Lewensoriënteringopvoeders te verstaan ten einde insig te
verkry in die uitdagings wat hulle ondervind. Sodoende kan aanbevelings gemaak word
vir die ondersteuning van opvoeders wat dan sal deurvloei na die leerders. Die teoretiese
raamwerk van hierdie studie is positiewe sielkunde, aangesien dit die ontwikkeling van
positiewe individuele kenmerke, emosies en organisasies beklemtoon. Dit is dus ’n
toepaslike en konstruktiewe manier om die ondersteuningsbehoeftes van opvoeders
binne hulle skoolgemeenskappe te verstaan.
Die navorsingsmetodologie wat in hierdie studie gebruik is, kan beskryf word as basiese
kwalitatiewe navorsing binne ’n interpretivistiese paradigma. ’n Doelgerigte steekproef
is gebruik om drie skole en hul Lewensoriënteringdepartemente as deelnemers te
identifiseer. Drie metodes van data-insameling is gebruik, naamlik geskrewe reflektiewe
notas, semigestruktureerde fokusgroeponderhoude en individuele onderhoude. Verder is
kwalitatiewe inhoudsanalise gebruik om die data te analiseer.
Die navorsingsbevindinge het aangedui dat Lewensoriënteringopvoeders in die VOO
band ’n wye verskeidenheid ondersteuningsbehoeftes binne die verskillende vlakke van
die skoolgemeenskap ervaar. Opvoeders ervaar spanning tussen die verwagtinge van die
Departement van Onderwys, die behoeftes van leerders en hul eie verwagtinge met
betrekking tot die fassilitering van ’n omgeegemeenskap in die Lewensoriënteringklaskamer.
Ondersteuning behoort dus te poog om die bevoegdhede van die opvoeder te
verbeter en geleenthede daar te stel vir die ontwikkeling van positiewe individuele
kenmerke en die vestiging van positiewe emosies. Verder behoort skoolgemeenskappe
meer bewus te raak van hul persepsies en houdings teenoor die vak ten einde prosesse in
plek te kan stel vir die bevordering en ontwikkeling van positiewe organisasies. ’n
Kritiese stap in die bereiking hiervan, is die oorweging van beleide met betrekking tot
die aanstelling van Lewensoriënteringopvoeders en die versekering dat gekwalifiseerde,
gespesialiseerde opvoeders wat in die waarde van die vak glo, in hierdie poste aangestel
word.

高職廣告設計科學生升學就業影響因素之探討張標堅 Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討高職廣告設計科應屆畢業學生升學就業意願的影響因素,並了解高職廣告設計科應屆畢業生升學就業的現況,包括個人因素、家庭因素、實施教學與輔導計畫,以及不同縣市、性別、主要撫養者學歷、技術士證照與學業成績等對於影響高職廣告設計科應屆畢業生升學就業因素的看法,進而歸納目前高職廣告設計科的缺失及改善之道。
本研究以北、中、南三區公私立高職廣告設計科應屆畢業生為研究對象。配合研究編製影響高職廣告設計科學生升學就業因素之探討問卷調查表,問卷分為「基本資料」及「問卷內容」兩部分,共寄發1,803份,回收1,361份,有效問卷共1,344份,回收率為75%。
研究方法則採取文獻分析、問卷調查,透過文獻分析以作為調查研究分析的基礎。在統計方面的使用上,依背景變項的特性而有差異,在「性別」變項上採用t-test的方法進行顯著性考驗。變項則採用單因子變異數分析(one-way ANOVA)來進行顯著性考驗。一旦達統計上顯著差異者,則進一步採用薛費法(Scheffé method test)來進行事後比較。
本研究歸納出主要結論如下:
一、就父母期望方面,不同性別、不同學校所屬區域、有無廣告設計工作經驗等有其差異性。在希望待遇擁有不同種類證照及張數、學業及實習成績方面則未有顯著性影響。
二、就父母期望方面,主要撫養者年齡、職業、教育程度及每月平均收入不同,則其看法亦有所不同。
三、就對廣告設計的願景上,背景變項不同,如不同性別、不同學校所屬區域、有無廣告設計經驗在希望待遇之影響不顯著。在證照、學業與實習成績上則有顯著的差異。
四、就對廣告設計的願景上,不同的家庭變項,並未呈現顯著的正相關。
五、就對廣告設計的興趣方面,其背景變項不同,亦呈現不同的差異性。如性別、區域、經驗、待遇上無差異性。而證照種類愈多、張數愈多則興趣愈高;學業與實習成績愈高,則興趣愈高。
六、就廣告設計的興趣上,其在家庭變項方面,不同年齡、不同職業之主要撫養者及家庭收入等未有顯著差異;而主要撫養者的教育程度會與其對廣告設計的興趣有顯著的相關性。
七、在個人升學、就業的意願方面,性別、學校所屬區域、有無廣告設計經驗、待遇、證照張數,未有明顯差異;而證照種類愈多,學業與實習成績愈高,則其升學與就業意願愈高。
八、在個人升學就業的意願上,家庭變項不同,亦未有顯著影響。
最後依據研究結果提出以下建議:
一、對教育行政機關建議
(一)重視高職招生不足現象
(二)正視高職升學途徑的困境
二、對學校建議
(一)加強學生專業技能的培養
(二)加強輔導學生取得各類技術士證照
(三)加強產學合作,增加校外實習機會
(四)加強教學體系現代化
三、對學生建議
(一)加強培養帶著走的能力
(二)加強實作能力 / The main purposes of this study are to explore the factors influencing Advertisement and Design (AD) department graduates’ aspiration of further study and employment in vocational high school, to understand the current situation of the students’ further study and employment, and then to suggest the strategy of improvement for AD department.

'n Karakterbouprogram vir verdere onderwys en opleidingskolleges / Fazel Ebrihiam FreeksFreeks, Fazel Ebrihiam January 2007 (has links)
Value and character education possess the inherent building blocks for the preservation
of a healthy society. It is the art of life that keeps the environment friendly, free and safe
allowing earth's inhabitants to play, to live and to work in peace.
Value and character education possess values that remove evil from society and
institutions such as schools, colleges, universities, etc.
One of the primary aims of value and character education is to allow learners to
experience life at its' fullest.
The main purpose of this study is the development of an effective character building
program for a specific further education and training college.
It is obvious from the available literature that society is experiencing a crisis regarding
values, character and morality.
The decline of human and societal values portrayed in the media has compelled the
current government to initiate a value educational program in schools. The values of
the government however, are focused on nation building, democracy and human rights
with the purpose of overcoming the inequalities and injustices of the apartheid system.
However, the inhabitants of South Africa seek more than aspects based on democracy,
nation building and human rights. They seek values that promote moral behaviour,
values of work ethics and values that are aimed at developing their full potential.
Value and character education could probably ensure the provision of a successful life
and future for today's youth.
The researcher has therefore investigated and analysed the precise meanings of the
following terms: values, norms, principles, standards, ethics, character education,
values education. Various character educational programs that succeeded in oversees
countries were also studied.
Focus was also given to educational guidelines including principles, outcomes and
promising practices that the lecturer could use in the classroom to stimulate the
students and to promote character education.
To determine what the present value orientation of the students are, a questionnaire
was compiled for further education and training colleges in the North-West Province. To
ascertain the opinions and contributions of values education and character education,
semi-structured interviews were held with the student council, the head of the support
services and an official of the student support services.
The overall aim of the study is: To create a character-building program for further
education and training colleges after establishing the value orientation of the students.
This empirical research has pointed out specific problem areas and has shown that it is
not only essential but also urgent to implement a value and character educational
program for further education and training colleges. Guidelines for such a program
have been set on the basis of this study. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Education))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.

Engineering mathematics and virtual learning environments : a case study of student perceptionsTaylor, Annette Louise January 2011 (has links)
The study involved BTec National (level 3) engineering students studying at a large Further Education College in the South West region. The disciplines of Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical, Operations and Maintenance, Manufacturing, Telecommunications and Fabrication where all included in the study. Several students were sent by their employers on day release programmes and apprenticeships, and these formed the majority of the part time students. There were also other employed students who attended full time for terms 1 and 3 as part of a block release programme. The remaining students were full time, and mainly 16-18 years old. The study focused upon the core mathematics module everyone studied, and mathematical resources which were available through a virtual learning environment. The resources used layering, enabling earlier work to be built on and applied. Two separate cohorts were studied after substantial changes had been made to the qualification standards. The main findings were that the mathematics resources were very useful support, had a significant positive impact on student success, and enhanced the student experience. They helped part time students, especially, to improve their confidence and their achievements. The unlimited availability of these resources were a major consideration in their usefulness. The use of layering within the mathematics unit enabled better recall and comprehension.
