Buildings of the modern period have traditionally been absent from most architectural surveys. Part of the reason for this lies in the fact that very few guides have attempted to provide meaningful and accurate terms for post-World War II buildings, leaving surveyors without any meaningful way to categorize such structures. The purpose of this creative project, then, is to provide an accurate and meaningful means of applying style and building form categories to post-1941 architectural resources.The creative project first examines major trends in the movement to preserve and, more specifically, to document recent past resources throughout the United States. Primary and secondary sources, both popular and professional, are examined to determine the most common and appropriate labels being applied to modern architectural resources. From this, an illustrated style guide for identifying modern Indiana architecture is created.The creative project then provides a statewide survey of post-1941 architectural resources with both photographic and written documentation as an illustration of how to apply the determined styles and forms. / Project narrative -- Catalog of recent past architectural movements. / Department of Architecture

This study reports on the development of a curriculum guide to insure some degree of experience uniformity in the first art course available to students in high schools in Mesquite, Texas. Current general education and art education literature as well as curriculum guides from American schools provided the behaviorally oriented framework and objectives, content, and teaching strategies. The guide reflects a balance between the ideal and the real physical environment in which the guide will be implemented. Conclusions include the concepts that teacher education in using behavioral objectives is necessary, that a behaviorally oriented guide will work in Mesquite high schools, that behavioral objectives will facilitate evaluation, and that the trend toward tri-part subject content will increase in art curricula.

Thesis (MScMedSc (Rehabilitation))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / Stroke is the second commonest cause of mortality worldwide and remains a leading cause of adult physical disability. It is estimated that sixty percent of South African stroke survivors require assistance with at least one activity of daily living. This burden is predominantly on the shoulders of mostly untrained caregivers. The process of enabling caregivers to make choices conducive to their own health as well as the health of the stroke survivors is multidimensional. One of the cornerstones of this process is the provision of information. In 1995, the Centre for Rehabilitation Studies of the University of Stellenbosch started to develop a training package for stroke care at home. The training takes the form of an interactive workshop and a booklet with practical information. The aim of this study was to refine and pilot this booklet for implementation with the training. The study found that existing guidelines to evaluate the appropriateness of written material for developing communities (measured by Hugo’s grading model), were inadequate. Consequently, a new checklist, based on twenty existing checklists, was compiled. This list, as well as the Suitability Assessment of Material (SAM), was used to evaluate the booklet and make recommendations for a pre-pilot refinement. Even though this checklist has not been validated, it revealed similar results to the SAM when applied to the booklet. After cosultation with the authors, improvements were effected to the booklet The booklet was tested with four samples of the target audience. The functional literacy of the participants was determined using a standardised literacy test. A fifth sample completed a questionnaire on their preference between the pre- and postrefined booklet. Experts in the field of rehabilitation and graphic design also commented on the booklet. This study confirmed the need of stroke survivors and their caregivers for written health information. The refined booklet was found to be an appropriate tool to address the needs of the target audience. The participants perceived the booklet as useful and comprehensible and the readability level was shown to correspond with the tested literacy level of the samples. However, there is a need for printed material on topics related to stroke not currently covered in the booklet, e.g. spasticity. This study showed that the checklist could be used to tailor written health information that is preferred by the target audience. It confirmed that the testing of printed material with stakeholders could expose additional gaps after applying the checklist. Recommendations for further improvements were made based on the comments of the participants. It is foreseen that the new checklist could be a valuable tool for developing future written health material. Finally, it is recommended that an interdisciplinary team that includes a graphic designer be involvement from the planning stages.

Surge hoje como desafio gerenciar portfólios de projetos envolvendo tanto a produção como a utilização de multimídia, seja para o enriquecimento do ensino presencial tradicional, seja para a viabilização do ensino a distância. Nesta perspectiva, esta tese pretende responder à seguinte questão: "Quais são os aspectos fundamentais a serem considerados na gestão de projetos de produção e uso de multimídia educacional?" Uma solução possível para a questão central supracitada é expressa pela seguinte proposição: "Um conjunto cientificamente estudado de ferramentas e técnicas gerenciais pode ser identificado como elemento central a ser considerado na gestão de projetos de produção e/ou de utilização de multimídia, deste modo potencializando as chances de sucesso de projetos educacionais". Assim, esta investigação apresenta uma proposta de modelo para o gerenciamento de projetos de produção e utilização de conteúdo digital. Tanto o modelo como a metodologia e a implementação receberão a denominação de EduPMO, uma abreviação de "Educational Project Management Office", o que poderia ser traduzido como "Escritório de Gerenciamento de Projetos Educacionais". Desta feita, o modelo, a metodologia e a implementação devem ser compreendidos como relacionados mas, ainda assim, distintos. / Abstract: Engineering is seen today as a synonym of Innovation, in special for providing technological solutions that affect not only daily work and entertainment, but education as well. Project portfolio management of multimedia production and use emerges today as a challenge both for the enrichment of traditional classroom based teaching and for distance education offering. In this way, this thesis intends to answer the following question: "Which are the fundamental aspects to be considered in the management of projects on educational multimedia production and use?" A possible solution for the central question mentioned above is expressed by the following proposition: "A scientifically studied set of management tools and techniques may be identified as a central element to be considered in the management of projects of multimedia production and/or use, in this way increasing the success odds of educational projects." As a consequence, this research presents a proposal of a project management model for digital content production and use. The model, the methodology and the implementation will be named EduPMO, an abbreviation of "Educational Project Management Office". Therefore, the model, the methodology and the implementation should be understood as related but independent entities. / Doutorado / Eletrônica, Microeletrônica e Optoeletrônica / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

Como objetivo de pesquisa impôs-se problematizar o processo pelo qual uma determinada "leitura" do método intuitivo permitiu aos professores atuantes no magistério público estadual, notadamente aqueles que se expressaram pelas páginas da Revista do Ensino, órgão da Associação Beneficente do Professorado Público do Estado de São Paulo, elaborar uma racionalidade pedagógica cuja finalidade era a valorização da educação e da categoria docente. Dentro das estratégias docentes de valorização do campo educacional, observou-se o processo no qual a pedagogia paulista, paulatinamente, foi se desvinculando de seu caráter de "arte de ensinar", na tentativa de constituir-se como ciência da educação. Nesse contexto, as transformações ocorridas na definição de educação integral permitiram vislumbrar a originalidade da apropriação docente havida em São Paulo, na medida em que se rompeu com o conceito de currículo enciclopédico, em nome de uma maior efetividade na formação intelectual, moral e física. Por fim, a análise da reforma de 1920 explicita de que modo as questões externas ao campo educacional opuseram-se ao modelo de formação que vigorou em São Paulo desde 1890, redefinindo o conceito de cidadania e trazendo como consequência direta a "mutilação" do aparelho escolar paulista, a superação do modelo de formação integral e a não utilização do referencial intuitivo como método geral de formação. / Abstract: The present work purpose is at the appropriation, on the discursive, that educators have made Sao Paulo's intuitive method and enables them to claim for an active participation and policy on the state system of education that had been organized from the initiation of the republican regime. As for research purposes was imposed problematize the process by which a certain "reading" of the intuitive method allowed the teachers working as teachers in state public, especially those who expressed themselves through the pages of Revista da Educação, an agency of the Benevolent Association of State Public Professorship Sao Paulo, develop a pedagogical rationality which aimed at enhancement of education and class teacher. Within the educational strategies for enhancement of the educational field, we observed the process in which the pedagogy of São Paulo, gradually, disengaging from its character as an "art of teaching" in an attempt to establish itself as a science education. In this context, the transformations in the definition of comprehensive education crovided valuable insights into the originality of ownership regarded teacher in São Paulo, as it broke with the concept of curriculum encyclopedic, in the name of greater effectiveness in the intellectual, moral and physical. Finally, the analysis of the reform of 1920 explains how the issues outside the educational field were opposed to the training model that prevailed in Sao Paulo since 1890, redefining the concept of citizenship and bringing as a direct consequence of the "mutilation" of the device São Paulo school, overcoming the training model and not use the full reference intuitive as general method of training. / Doutorado / Ensino, Avaliação e Formação de Professores / Doutor em Educação

Escritos em sua maioria por pediatras, os guias maternos fizeram parte de coleções que se destinavam à educação da população. Apesar das referências nesses impressos aos procedimentos científicos em relação à criação dos filhos, a identificação dessas publicações como leituras úteis permitiu analisá-las enquanto uma das práticas médicas dirigidas às mulheres, para difundir modelos de comportamento familiar que garantissem a geração, o desenvolvimento saudável e a educação das crianças brasileiras. Este texto adota como principal referencial teórico as contribuições de Roger Chartier, em torno da história do livro e da leitura, e de Michel Foucault, no que se refere à compreensão dos mecanismos de poder sobre a população, definidos pelo autor como biopolítica. Os processos de produção e os indícios da circulação dos guias maternos foram considerados como elementos fundamentais para a compreensão da difusão das representações sobre as mulheres, as crianças e sua educação, nos moldes propostos pela medicina, como parte de um processo mais amplo de intervenção na sociedade brasileira. Ao mesmo tempo, a análise das prescrições de leitura, presentes nas características textuais e tipográficas desses impressos, permite uma aproximação das práticas propostas às mães. Por essa razão, os guias maternos que integram o corpus desta pesquisa, publicados entre 1919 e 1957, foram compreendidos tanto como objeto quanto como fonte de estudo. Entre as questões suscitadas, a principal interrogação refere-se ao espaço que esses impressos teriam ocupado no processo de difusão de práticas higiênicas que abrangiam tanto o cuidado com o corpo infantil como a educação da criança, com base nas recomendações médicas. O tratamento privilegiado dado à mulher leitora, a partir desse redimensionamento das funções maternais, em acordo com os princípios científicos, também permitiu indagar sobre as representações que teriam sido produzidas em torno da leitura feminina, veiculadas por autores e editores dos guias maternos estudados, a partir da inserção de diferentes dispositivos textuais e gráficos. / Abstract: The Brazilian publishing market in expansion since the first decades of the XX Century has incorporated at its own manner the speeches produced either by the hygienist movement as well as by those who understood upbringing as a way to regenerate a nation, leading it into progress and modernity. Written mostly by pediatricians, mother guidebooks were part of a collection that was intended for the education of the population. Despite the references contained in such publications regarding the scientific procedures related to children upbringing, identifying such publications as useful reading material allowed for analyzing them as one of the medical practices directed to women, in order to spread familial behavioral models that would guarantee the generation, the healthy development and upbringing of the Brazilian children. This work adopts, as its main theoretical reference, Roger Chartier's contributions about the history of books and reading, and Michel Foucalt's contributions to the understanding of power mechanisms over the populations, defined by the author as biopolitics. Production processes and indications of circulation of mother guidebooks were regarded to as fundamental elements to the understanding of the diffusion of representations over the women, the children and their upbringing, according to models proposed by medicine, as part of a bigger process of intervention in the Brazilian society. At the same time, the analysis of the reading prescriptions contained in the text and graphic characteristics of such printings allows for the approaching of the practices proposed to mothers. Due to this reason, mother guidebooks that form the corpus of this survey, published between 1919 and 1957, have been taken both as subject and as source of study. Among the raised issues, the main inquiry is concerned with how much space such printings might have taken in the process of diffusion of hygienic practices regarding either the care with the child's body as well as the child's upbringing based on medical recommendations. The privileged treatment given to woman readers beginning with the redesigning of maternal functions, according to scientific principles, also allowed for questioning the representations that might have been produced about the women's reading, published by authors and publishers of such guidebooks that have been studied, based on the insertion of different text and graphic devices. / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Doutor em Educação

M.Ed. (Language Teaching) / The lack of proper regard for language variation and the heterogeneous nature of language in the teaching of Afrikaans First Language Secondary Phase caused various problems. Not only individuals but the whole Afrikaans language community and the language itself suffered. Language variation is actually recognised in the learning content and teaching approach of the latest Afrikaans First Language syllabus. However, because of the inadequate recognition in the syllabus and the current complexity of the Afrikaans language community, it is necessary to provide guidelines for augmenting the syllabus to improve the teaching-learning situation. This study therefore proposes appropriate learning content with regard to the heterogeneous nature of language, language variation and specific problems in the Afrikaans language community. In order to accommodate all the varieties of Afrikaans and speakers of these varieties in the teaching-learning situation, a multi-variety approach is recommended. With that in mind a strategy to implement a multi-variety approach and the teaching of the complex phenomenon, language variation in Afrikaans First Language Secondary Phase is proposed.
