Esta dissertação tem como objetivo a descrição e análise de documentos do arquivo literário de João Guimarães Rosa salvaguardado no Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros da Universidade de São Paulo, agrupados sob a designação de Estudos para Obra. Esses papéis, compostos ou coletados pelo autor de Grande sertão: veredas, formam um volumoso e diversificado material de apoio à criação literária, no qual podemos visualizar três grandes usos e funções que apresentaremos separadamente: o registro das experiências cotidianas, na forma de diários e apontamentos avulsos; o arquivamento de notas de leitura, pesquisas temáticas e estudos linguísticos; a experimentação literária, por meio de numerosas listas de elaborações textuais fragmentárias e planos poéticos, ficcionais e ensaísticos. Dialogando com a Crítica Genética, os estudos de Intertextualidade e as reflexões sobre as práticas de arquivamento do escritor, demonstraremos como Guimarães Rosa se utilizava de fontes variadas para a escrita de seus textos e daremos a ver diferentes aspectos que envolvem seu processo de criação literária. / This work aims to describe and analyzedocuments that are part of João Guimarães Rosa\'s literary archive kept by the Institute of Brazilian Studies of University of São Pauloand aregrouped under the classification of Estudos para Obra. These documents, composed or collected by the author of Grande sertão: veredas, assumesthe form a voluminous and varied material that supported his literary creation, havingat least three primary functions: the recording of everyday events in diaries or sparse notes; the preservation of reading notes, researches and linguistic studies; literary experimentation achieved by the composition of lists of textual fragments and plans for poems, narratives and essays. Dialoguing with Genetic Criticism, Intertextuality and studies on literary archives,we intend to show Guimarães Rosa\'s practice of using multiple resources for writing his texts, and presentdifferent aspects that are involved inhis literary creation.

The study population for the research comprised Grade 9 learners attending three co-educational, independent schools in KwaZulu-Natal in order to determine factors influencing the selection of business studies for FET phase. Methodology involved qualitative and quantitative approaches with closed and open-ended questionnaires plus one-on-one interviews. Descriptive statistics were produced and opened ended questions and interviews were examined for trends and influences. Findings reflected wide divergence in factual information, attitudes, and opinions on significant issues such as expected level of difficulty, influence of educators, parents and peers on selection, amount of work required and value of subject for future studies or careers. Conclusions were that there was a lack of completed research indicating a need for future research, greater preparation was required pre-FET level to assist decision making about selection of the subject which should involve parents, educators and input from the business world. / Curriculum and Instructional Studies / M.
