Parental involvement in primary schools : a case study of three socio-economic disparate schools in Ile-Ife, Nigeria

Rofiat Omolola Obayopo 03 July 2018 (has links)
Parental involvement (PI) in three socio-economic disparate primary schools in Ile-Ife in Nigeria was investigated in the study. The study explored the effect of socio-economic status on PI using three schools representing the Lower socioeconomic status (LSES), Middle socio-economic status (MSES) and Higher socioeconomic status (HSES). The study reported how parents of three different income groups practice and perceive PI and how teachers perceive PI at the schools and what their expectations are regarding PI. The data used for empirical investigation was drawn from 15 parents and 15 teachers at each of the three schools. The parents were selected using convenience sampling and were individually interviewed while teachers are selected by purposeful random sampling and data was collected using focus group interviews and survey questionnaires. Results shows that parents’ available time, interest, level of education, social capital, parent-teacher contact and socio-economic status (SES) affected PI of which time, SES and interest were the most important factors affecting PI. PI is evidenced in all SES groups as joint cooperation between parents and teachers in support of children’s scholastic pursuit. The study suggests that, contrary to conventional opinion, parents of LSES generally have high educational goals for their children and evidence noteworthy PI practices. PI should be strengthened by building on existing positive endeavors and addressing areas of PI which are lagging behind. Strategies to strengthen these endeavors are recommended in conclusion of the study. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Education Management)

Möglichkeiten der Einflussnahme ländlicher Entwicklungsförderungen auf die Wahrung „Ländlicher Baukultur“

Arnhold, Jost 10 July 2014 (has links) (PDF)
Vielen Siedlungen und Ortschaften sind in den letzten Jahrzehnten ihre charakteristischen Eigenarten genommen worden. Sie könnten heute eigentlich überall in Deutschland verortet sein, da sie ihre regionale Charakteristik und damit ihre raumbezogene Identität zu verlieren drohen bzw. bereits verloren haben. Ein wichtiger Bestandteil zur Bewahrung unserer charakteristischen Kulturlandschaft obliegt dem Erhalt der baulichen regionalen Eigenheiten, also dem Erhalt unserer gewachsenen „Baukultur“. Inwieweit ländliche Entwicklungsförderungen die Erhaltung und Weiterentwicklung ausgewogener baukulturellen Entwicklungen beeinflussen können, soll die vorliegende Arbeit analysieren. Sie definiert und beschreibt die wesentlichen Merkmale „Ländlicher Baukultur“. Weiterhin wird die Stellung ländlicher Baukultur im Laufe der Geschichte und der Gegenwart näher analysiert. Ein Hauptteil dieser Arbeit widmet sich der praxisnahen Untersuchung der ländlichen Entwicklungsförderung, kurz ILE, speziell dem Kapitels E (Bauliche Maßnahmen zur Umnutzung oder Wiedernutzung leerstehender oder ungenutzter ländlicher Gebäude). Das Ergebnis der Analyse sind konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen, welche den Förderungsprozess bezüglich der Bewahrung ländlicher Baukultur effizienter gestalten. Ebenso werden bereits bestehende Förderrichtlinien und Interessenvertreter ländlicher Baukultur vorgestellt. Der zweite Hauptbestandteil dieser Arbeit widmet sich abschließend allgemeineren Ideen und Handlungsempfehlungen zur Wahrung ländlicher Baukultur, welche im Rahmen einer umfangreichen Expertenbefragung zusammengetragen und analysiert wurden.

Características do processo de ingestão de forragem por cordeiras em pastagem de azevém nos diferentes estádios fenológicos / Characteristics of forage intake process by lambs on italian ryegrass pature at different phenological stages

Camargo, Daniele Gindri 16 December 2008 (has links)
Characteristics of forage intake process by lambs grazing Italian ryegrass pasture (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) were studied, from the hypothesis that different phenological stages of the plant may influence the food gathering process by grazing animals. The experiment was carried out from May to November of 2007 in the Federal University of Santa Maria. Evaluations where made in three occasions within phenological stages of annual ryegrass: Vegetative (11/09), Pre-flowering (14/10) and Flowering (11/11). Eight female lambs (45.0 ± 4.3 kg), Ile de France x Texel crossbreed, with an average age of eight months were utilized. To quantify intake rate and grazing behavior parameters by lambs, grazing tests were conducted. Forage mass, sward height, vertical structure of the pasture and chemical composition of the forage apparently ingested by the lambs were evaluated to determine pasture characteristics. A completely randomized design with three treatments and five replicates in the vegetative stage and six replicates in the other phenological stages was used. Intake rate, bite mass and bite depth were similar (P>0.05) between different stages with a forage on offer of 13.7kg of dry matter per 100kg of live weight. At vegetative stage, bite rate is negatively determined by sward height. At pre-flowering and flowering stages grazing time is positively influenced by sward height. The bite depth is positively influenced by the sward height and negatively influenced by stem bulk density in all phenological stages. The bite rate is negatively influenced by sward height at the vegetative stage of Italian Ryegrass. At the pre-flowering and flowering stage the grazing time is positively influenced by sward height. Grazing time (GT= 27.46 + 0.09day) and number of bites (NB= -175.04 + 9.41day) increased linearly during the pasture cycle. The smaller bite rate was at 135º day after Italian ryegrass emergence and the greater time per bite happened at 146º day. In non limiting forage on offer, lambs maintained the rate of intake constant by increasing bite rate. Among the herbage attributes, the sward height is the most important to determine changes in the grazing behavior of lambs on Italian Ryegrass pasture. / Foram estudadas as características do processo de ingestão de forragem por cordeiras em pastagem de azevém (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), a partir da hipótese de que diferentes estádios fenológicos do pasto influenciam no processo de captura de alimento por animais em pastejo. O experimento foi desenvolvido no período de maio a novembro de 2007 na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria e as avaliações foram realizadas em três datas nos estádios fenológicos do azevém: Vegetativo (11/09), Pré-florescimento (14/10) e Florescimento (11/11). Foram utilizadas oito cordeiras, cruzas Ile de France x Texel com oito meses de idade e 45,0 ± 4,3 kg de peso vivo, em média. Foram realizados testes de pastejo para quantificar a taxa de ingestão de matéria seca (MS) pelas cordeiras e variáveis de comportamento ingestivo de acordo com a metodologia adaptada de PENNING; HOOPER (1985). Na pastagem foram realizadas avaliações de massa de forragem, altura do dossel, estrutura vertical e composição química da forragem aparentemente colhida. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, com medidas repetidas no tempo, com três tratamentos e cinco repetições no estádio vegetativo e seis nos demais estádios estudados. Com oferta de forragem de 13,7 kg de matéria seca/100 kg de peso vivo, a taxa de ingestão, a massa do bocado e a profundidade de bocado foram semelhantes (P>0,05) nos diferentes estádios. No estádio vegetativo do azevém a altura do pasto influencia negativamente a taxa de bocados. Nos estádios de pré-florescimento e florescimento a altura do pasto influencia positivamente o tempo de alimentação. A profundidade de bocados é positivamente influenciada pela altura do pasto e negativamente pela densidade de colmos no estrato superior. O tempo de alimentação (TA= 27,46 + 0,09 dia) e o número de bocados totais (NBT= -175,4 + 9,41dia) aumentaram linearmente ao longo do ciclo do azevém. O menor número de bocados por unidade de tempo foi realizado no 135º dia após a emergência do azevém e o maior tempo de formação do bocado foi no 146º. Em azevém, com oferta de forragem não limitante ao consumo, o aumento na taxa de bocados é o mecanismo utilizado por cordeiras para manter a taxa de ingestão constante. Dentre os atributos do pasto, sua altura é o de maior importância para determinar mudanças nas variáveis do comportamento ingestivo.

La diaspora de la chambre 107 : ethnographie des pratiques musicales et dansées des Soninkés en Ile-de-France / Finding One’s Place through Music : an Ethnography from a Shelter for Migrant Workers to the Soninke Diaspora

Clouet, Claire 25 October 2018 (has links)
Les Soninkés sont originaires d'une région à la triple frontière entre le Mali, la Mauritanie et le Sénégal. Leur présence en France a été étudiée sous l'angle de la migration de travail, mais pas sous celui des pratiques culturelles et artistiques. Ma thèse vient questionner cette dimension inaperçue. L’enquête ethnographique commence dans les chambres standardisées d’un foyer de travailleurs migrants, lieu d’hébergement pour hommes. J’étudie d’abord de quelle manière les habitants du foyer manipulent l’espace sonore du bâtiment pour se l’approprier. Les musiques qu’ils écoutent et les vidéos de fêtes qu’ils regardent depuis leur smartphone signalent de nombreux lieux en Ile-de-France et en Afrique de l’Ouest autour desquels s’organise la diaspora soninkée. Afin de parcourir ces lieux comme ethnographe, j’intègre la troupe de danse Xhambane Kaffo, basée à Sarcelles. A la suite des danseuses et musiciens rencontrés dans la troupe, je me rends dans les salles des fêtes privées, les espaces culturels municipaux, les théâtres, où ils animent autant de mariages, de journées culturelles, de fêtes associatives ou d’élections de miss. Je me rends également à Bakel, au Sénégal, à rebours du parcours migratoire du directeur de la troupe, ainsi que dans la région du Guidimakha, en Mauritanie, auprès des familles des habitants du foyer. En prenant la musique en filature, ces déplacements me permettent d’étudier comment des hommes catégorisés comme migrants s’inscrivent dans des réseaux à la fois interpersonnels et transnationaux. Ni en France ni en Afrique de l’Ouest, la diaspora à laquelle ils participent n’a de lieu dédié, tel que le serait un centre culturel, mais elle est bel et bien située. / The Soninkes come from a borderland between Mali, Mauritania and Senegal. Their presence in France has been studied in terms of labour migration, but not as a cultural and artistic diaspora. My work concentrates on this unnoticed social dimension. The ethnographic survey begins in the standardised rooms of a Parisan shelter for migrant workers. First of all, I study how the shelter’s inhabitants, only men, shape their living space through sound. They live in confined spaces but the music they listen to and the videos they look at on their smartphones refer to a plethora of spaces in the Paris region and in West Africa. To explore these communities, I join a Soninké dance troupe called Xhambane Kaffo (We are all united in the same language) located in Sarcelles, a short drive north of Paris. Following the dancers and the musicians of this troupe, I go to reception halls, to municipal spaces, to theatres where they lead wedding parties, cultural days, association meetings and elections of diaspora queens. The survey moves then to West Africa : first to Dakar and Bakel, Senegal, following the artistic journey of the Xhambane Kaffo’s troupe director ; then to Mauritania, to meet the families of the Parisian migrant workers. Moving from one point to another allowed me to show how these men, categorized as migrants and single, sit within both a transnational and interpersonal social network. My work argues that if some cultural and artistic practices, such as the Soninkés’ diasporic encounters, are categorized as « invisible » in the urban area, it is because they are seen through a sedentary vision of space.

TRAITE DE PSYCHOPATHOLOGIE ET THERAPEUTIQUE REUNIONNAISES

Brandibas, Jacques 15 November 2003 (has links) (PDF)
Cette thèse vise à saisir l'intrication des facteurs culturels dans les troubles psychopathologiques tels qu'ils se présentent dans une consultation d'ethnopsychologie à la Réunion. Replacées dans leur contexte culturel et psycho-historique, l'insistance des pathologies et des thérapeutiques réunionnaises s'articulent autour de la notion de secret et de l'importance des morts. La problématique des relations du sujet avec le sacré sert de fil conducteur à la thèse. Les notions d'identité, d'altérité, d'ordre et de désordre président à des troubles qui s'inscrivent dans des catégories universelles de causalité : mystique, animiste et magique. Beaucoup d'entre eux ressortent d'une étiologie de la frayeur, d'une logique traumatique. Des observations cliniques et l'analyse d'un dispositif de soin « traditionnel » montrent l'attache étroite des désordres psychologiques avec l'effraction et le soin. Ils participent d'une préoccupation universelle : renforcer les liens sociaux, les sentiments d'appartenance, d'identité, les enveloppes psychiques des plus fragiles dans un cadre de créolisation. Dans de nombreux cas, la prise en compte de la dimension ethnopsychologique est essentielle à la compréhension et à la pratique psychologique.

Réunion maloya : La créolisation réunionnaise telle qu'entendue depuis sa musique traditionnelle

Lagarde, Benjamin 13 December 2012 (has links)
Le présent travail se concentre sur la documentation du maloya. En effet, il est apparu que les informations disponibles à son sujet ne remplissaient pas les attentes que l'on est en droit de formuler à l'égard d'une pratique inscrite depuis octobre 2009 sur la liste représentative du patrimoine immatériel mondial définie par l'UNESCO. Après avoir résumé les connaissances disponibles à l'égard du maloya considéré, bien que sous d'autres noms, comme la « musique des Noirs » depuis le début de la colonisation bourbonnaise, nous plongeons dans l'histoire réunionnaise des années 1960-2000. Celle-ci porte la marque de l'opposition idéologique ayant tendu à cliver les insulaires de part et d'autre de la revendication autonomiste vis-à-vis de la France. Le maloya y apparaît des plus malléables et sa contribution à la définition d'une identité réunionnaise contemporaine y est interrogée au fil d'une histoire qu'il nous donne à entendre de manière unique. À partir de notre connaissance du rôle rituel du maloya, nous proposons toutefois de renverser l'approche habituelle pour l'entendre et le penser depuis l'univers sémantique des usagers d'une musique religieuse. Dégageant une typologie des répertoires du maloya ainsi que ses différentes acceptions régionales, ce sont les tendances évolutives de ce dernier qui apparaissent dans notre analyse, démontrant ainsi son rôle dans la créolisation locale. Derrière ces usages sociaux de l'art, c'est aussi la figure du « Noir » (le « Kaf ») que l'on voit ainsi évoluer dans l'île, rappelant et son association au maloya et son caractère déterminant sur le plan culturel insulaire. / Whereas a reflexive chapter, focused on the progressive immersion we realised among the actors of possessions cults from afro-malagasy origins living in Reunion Island, had been primarly thought to join this thesis, the main effort consists here in the documentation of the maloya. Effectively, an overlook to what's been said of this traditionnal music requiered such a missing work attached to an element recently inscribed on the UNESCO patrimonial list. Resuming the available knowledge about the maloya, which is considered since the early moment of the colonization as the reunionese « Black music », the purpose was to reach the modern era and then underlying the importance of this esthetical practice in the definition of what could be called, under certain conditions, this « kréol identity ». The post-colonial role that played maloya during the years 1960-1970 appears newly as we emphasize his historical implications. We've also been able to relocate the common point of vue already existing of the maloya in scientifical field as well as on the public scene from the musicians and their cultual significations. Analyzing, for example, his four distincts repertories, we open to an original understanding of the past and the present of a creolized culture that had always took music as a fundement of its existence. This work makes also possible the reflexion about the place of the « Kaf » (Reunionneses of black origins) in this cultural construction, and maybe, the one of the afro-descendents and their so-called « black music » in the invention of our new globalized world.

Intérêt du travail institutionnel dans les dynamiques de filières agricoles : le cas de l'ile Maurice / Institutional work and the dynamics of agricultural value chains : the case of Mauritius

Ramasawmy, Brinda 27 February 2014 (has links)
Ce travail de recherche vise à utiliser la sociologie néo-institutionnelle et ses concepts clés tels que les logiques institutionnelles et le travail institutionnel pour analyser comment les acteurs agissent sur les institutions au niveau d'une filière agricole. Nous avons choisi de vérifier l'applicabilité de notre cadre théorique dans un contexte empirique subissant un changement institutionnel, la filière légumes mauricienne. Pour valider le cadre théorique choisi, nous avons tout d'abord mené un terrain exploratoire. A travers une analyse thématique des enquêtes, nous avons identifié les logiques institutionnelles qui orientent les actions de nos principaux acteurs dans la filière légumes mauricienne, et les types et formes de travail institutionnel entreprit par les acteurs en place et nouveaux de la filière légumes. Cette thèse permet de conclure que l'étude du travail institutionnel dans une dynamique de filière agricole a toute son importance car l'approche sociologique permet aux chercheurs de mieux appréhender le comportement des acteurs de la filière.Mots clés : sociologie néo-institutionnelle, logique institutionnelle, travail institutionnelle, filière agricole, analyse de contenu thématique, analyse qualitative comparée. / This research work aimed at using sociological neo institutionalism and its key concepts, institutional logics, and institutional work to understand the work undertaken by actors in an agricultural value chain. We have chosen the Mauritian vegetable value chain, in the context of an institutional change, as a field of study to apply the theoretical concepts. An exploratory study was carried out to validate the theoretical framework selected. Thematic content analysis allowed us to identify the institutional logics of the vegetable value chain as well as the different types and forms of institutional work undertaken by the incumbent and new actors. This research work allows us to conclude that the use of the concept of institutional work to understand the dynamics of an agricultural value chain is important as the sociological lens enables researchers to better understand actors' behavior in a value chain.Key words: sociological neo institutionalism, institutional logics, and institutional, agricultural value chain, thematic analysis, qualitative comparative analysis

La fabrique des "gares du quotidien" : imaginaires et fonctions symboliques d'une nouvelle catégorie du Grand Paris / The fabric of 'everyday life' stations : imaginaries and symbolic functions of a new category of the Greater Paris

Avide, Elise 12 March 2018 (has links)
Depuis le début des années 2010, le terme de « quotidien » remplace celui de « banlieue » dans certains discours politiques pour désigner les gares ferroviaires de proximité en Île-de-France. Contrairement aux « quartiers sensibles » ou aux « agglomérations », cette expression des « gares du quotidien » se présente a priori bien plus comme un nouvel élément de langage dans l’air du temps que comme une catégorie politique ou administrative installée. Néanmoins, celle-ci apparaît dans le débat public à un moment particulier, en creux du projet de Grand Paris Express, comme précipitée par un certain nombre d’acteurs aux stratégies et idéaux a priori convergents, et s’accompagne d’une vague de travaux assez inédite dans les gares de ces réseaux. De plus, le « quotidien » ne saurait renvoyer aux mêmes images ni aux mêmes valeurs que la « banlieue ». En cela, cette substitution ne saurait être fortuite. À partir d'une analyse des représentations véhiculées par différentes formes de récits d’acteurs d’une part, et d’une exploration des gares et des projets dont elles font l’objet dans le territoire de la Seine Aval d’autre part, cette thèse entend dévoiler les ruptures qui autorisent l’émergence des « gares du quotidien » comme nouvelle catégorie du Grand Paris, les significations qui la traversent, et les transformations auxquelles elle engage. Son ambition est ainsi de discuter plus largement les fonctions imaginaires de la catégorisation dans la fabrique des espaces urbains. Ce faisant, ce travail propose une relecture de l’histoire contemporaine de l’aménagement francilien à travers la lentille du « quotidien », et révèle sous cet angle certains basculements dans le rapport des acteurs du transport et de l’urbanisme à la « banlieue » et à ses habitants, mais aussi dans les segmentations professionnelles et les rapports de force en présence / The beginning of the years 2010s saw a terminological shift within political discourses: railway stations in the Île-de-France region, previously designated as ‘suburban stations’, increasingly became known as ‘everyday life stations’. Unlike other trending expressions such as ‘sensitive neighbourhoods’ or ‘agglomerations’, this expression does not relate to a well-identified political or administrative category. Nonetheless, it appears in public debate at a peculiar moment, in the context of the Greater Paris (Grand Paris) project, as if it were precipitated by a wide array of actors sharing conveying ideals and strategies. It is also accompanied by important work in the stations of these networks. As a result, this substitution cannot be incidental, and the term ‘everyday life’ indeed refers to imaginaries that differ substantially from the previously used adjective – ‘suburban’. By analysing the representations conveyed by different forms of stakeholders’ narratives, and by exploring stations and the urban projects they are part of in the Seine Aval territory, this dissertation seeks to unravel the fractures and discontinuities that allow for the emergence of ‘everyday life stations’ as a new category of the Greater Paris, its interweaving meanings, and the way in which it renews the materiality of spaces. Its ambition is thus to discuss more broadly the imaginary functions of categorisation in urban fabric. In doing so, the work offers a new reading grid for the contemporary history of planning in the Île-de-France region. By looking through the lens of ‘everyday life’, it uncovers a number of shifts in the relationships between actors in the transportation and urban planning sectors, with suburban areas and their inhabitants. This approach is also insightful for the assessment of professional segmentations and power relations at work

Improving the process? A study of learner autonomy, interaction & technology-enhanced language-learning environments

Turk, Deborah, n/a January 2005 (has links)
Is it possible for technological �spaces� to be created that can provide a community atmosphere � one in which learners are not restrained by pre-determined syllabi and have the ability to direct their learning according to their own interests, pace and goals? If so, it would be notable to discover which kinds of interactions might be possible, or might eventuate, and how the participants in such a learning �space� would organize themselves. Also of interest would be the kinds of power structures that emerged through participant interaction, the direction/interactions undertaken by the participants and the improvements that could be made in order to respect and accommodate the differences between learners in a social online learning space. In order to further study this hypothesised need to investigate these questions, this researcher developed an online, English as a Second/Foreign Language learning environment for advanced adult learners of English. She reviewed the appropriate literature in order to theorise how to commence this research direction and investigated various learning platforms and software tools. The result was the development of a multiplatform environment which consisted of a content management system and a 3D microworld. Tools, exercises and content were developed and/or gathered as starting points for learners and the various software had to be learnt in order to orient others on their use. Finally, the environment was trialed over a four week duration with a group of advanced to native speakers of English (volunteers) and the results have been presented in this thesis for discussion. The trial, entitled the ILE Project, attempted to study the problems involved in the technical development of such spaces, to observe the interactions between the learners in a 3D microworld and uncover issues relating to its implementation. Some issues raised by the project concerned techno-literacy, personality-driven interaction differences and organizational power shifts within the 3D community. This thesis closes with an argument that redefines the notion of the learner autonomy, proposes certain modifications to both the pedagogic and technical structure of the online environment and discusses the issues raised in this research. The latter discussion would require further re-conceptualization of the spaces, stakes and support structures that educators can create/provide in an attempt to improve online language learning.
