A Science Teacher¡¦s Reflection on Innovative Teaching ProcessWei, FanPai 01 September 2011 (has links)
By autobiography retrospection and self reflection, this research aims to describe what influence an individual and his learning process pose on a teacher¡¦s way of creative teaching. Personal creative teaching ideas and implementation patterns are presented through the case-sharing of creative teaching. I attempted to find out the teaching concept and the method of cultivating students¡¦ creativity, further to promote teaching efficiency, and to share with parents and education-related personnel with the results as the reference for future planning and executing creative teaching activities.
Main findings in this research are:
1. Growing in a respectful, liberal, open family lays the solid foundation of future creative teaching.
2. During schooling and working, theories discussion and teaching experiences sharing with professors and colleagues benefit the practice of creative teaching.
3. That a school respects teachers¡¦ professional teaching provides the room of freedom of creative teaching, which benefits teachers conducting creative teaching activities.
4. Maintaining characteristics such as curiosity, independence, and innocence gives the researcher the impetus to urge creative teaching.
5.Creative teaching should be that on the basis of students learning demands and their living experiences, teachers carefully design the teaching content both informatively and entertainingly; in addition, provide students the effective learning pattern to absorb knowledge and skills by actual operation.
In the end, according to the findings of this research, suggestions are made and shared with parents and teachers for future reference of planning and executing creative teaching activities.

"WITH A VERTU AND LEAWTÉ": MASCULINE RELATIONSHIPS IN MEDIEVAL SCOTLANDHolton, Caitlin 01 September 2011 (has links)
This thesis is an investigation of elite normative masculinity in medieval Scotland. The attempts of medieval men to claim, enforce or deny personal obligations within homosocial relationships provide evidence of how aristocratic Scotsmen ought to have behaved. These obligations appear in documentary and literary sources and indicate the importance of the relationships associated with them. Charters and bonds of friendship, fealty, and indenture, and three fourteenth-century literary sources, the Liber Extravagans, Gesta Annalia, and The Bruce, provide evidence of normative expectations of men in medieval Scotland. These sources present a picture of an ideal man whose interactions with other men were governed by expectations of loyalty, honesty, bravery, wisdom, and valour. It is also apparent that while courtly chivalry was an influential normative source, its precepts were of secondary importance to the welfare and protection of one’s dependants. This study contributes to the growing body of work that emphasizes the importance of understanding manliness and male experiences as a gendered, constructed, and important force within society. / Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada; Ontario Graduate Scholarship

Popular histories of independence and Ujamaa in Tanzania.Yona, Mzukisi. January 2008 (has links)
<p>It is now forty years after the start of African Socialism, or Ujamaa, in Tanzania. This study examines to what extent Tanzanians still tell their national history in ways which feature the important themes of social change that were introduced by President Julius Nyerere and his political party after independence: increasing equality, popular participation, egalitarian values and self-reliant economic development. The intention of the study is to see to what extent these ideas are still important in the ways that Tanzanians today tell their national history. The study is based on oral history interviews, with Tanzanian expatriates living in Cape Town, and is supplemented by secondary sources on the post-independence and Ujamaa periods. It argues that memory can be affected by current events.</p>

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the audit committee in the Westonaria Local Municipality / Matsiliso Merriam ChakaChaka, Matsiliso Merriam January 2013 (has links)
Audit committees are an integral part of good corporate governance and their establishment strengthens the credibility of governments. As a foundation of good governance, audit committees are positioned to provide an objective assessment of whether or not public resources are responsibly and effectively managed. They also promote accountability and integrity, as well as improvement in the operations of governments and municipalities. The establishment of audit committees in the local sphere of government came with the advent of modernisation in terms of the budget and financial management, which was intended to strengthen accountability. The requirement for effective utilisation of resources by local government is critical for the support and empowerment of local communities and delivery of effective services.
The audit committee framework for local government, which is provided by the Municipal Finance Management Act (56 of 2003), is underpinned by principles of good governance and accountability, which promote the effective functioning of audit committees. However, there are perceptions and arguments advanced in the literature regarding the effectiveness of audit committees as an accountability structure. This was brought about by the recurring reported incidences of the failure of businesses, which took place despite the existence of rules and laws regulating the function. As a result, trends of leading best practices were established, which enhanced audit committees' performance and were adopted as a proxy for the measurement of audit committees’ effectiveness.
The focus of the study is on validating the perception by management that the audit committee of the Westonaria Local Municipality (WLM) is effective in the execution of its oversight role. A literature study on the functioning of audit committees have been undertaken, official municipal documents were analysed and a questionnaire has been developed and utilised as a means for gathering data, in order to prove the hypothesis to be either true or false. The areas investigated in this study demonstrate that the audit committee of WLM is generally effective in the execution of its oversight function. The findings of the study also identified certain areas in the audit function which require the attention of both management and the audit committee of the municipality. More specifically, the observations made in the study include the following: (i) that audit committee members are not provided with the agendas and reports in sufficient time for them to adequately prepare for meetings; (ii) that a productive relationship between the audit committee and the management of the local government has to be maintained; (iii) that there is a lack of informal meetings between the audit committee and the external and internal auditors; (iv) that no appropriate training of the audit committee on existing and potential audit risks in local government is in place; (v) that there is an absence of continuous learning programmes for the members of the audit committee; and (vi) that audit committee members do not evaluate themselves in terms of their level of knowledge regarding the functioning and activities of their audit committee.
Attending to these aspects, as identified through this study, will further improve the audit committee’s activities in the WLM. These aspects are therefore not viewed in a negative light, but are rather regarded as a positive venture to be addressed by municipal management and the audit committee, in order to improve the functioning of the audit committee. These aspects should therefore be added to the many positives aspects that are identified concerning the WLM audit committee, as discussed in this study. / M Public Administration (Development and Management), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

The social basis of the Quebec independence movement /Kowalchuk, Lisa January 1992 (has links)
This thesis assesses several theories about the social basis of the Quebec independence movement. The most prevalent of these theories locates the core of support for Quebec independence in the Francophone new middle class. The Marxist perspective offers a closely related hypothesis, according to which the independence movement is based in the Francophone new petite bourgeoisie. A third theory sees the new class as at the helm of the new social movements, among which is the Quebec independence movement. Finally, a fourth hypothesis is that the Francophone intellectuals and professional intelligentsia are the foremost separatists. / The results of tabular and logistic regression analysis of data on referendum support for sovereignty-association refute the new middle class and new petite bourgeoisie hypotheses. The analyses indicate considerable support for sovereignty-association among a narrow variant of the new class. Within this narrow new class, or professional intelligentsia, support for sovereignty is most heavily concentrated among the Francophone intellectuals. The most discriminating predictor of separatism is not class, but the opposition between those in intellectuals vs. the business/managerial occupations. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

The conceptual framework : the views of natural shareholders in AustraliaMyers, Paul James, paul.myers@rmit.edu.au January 2001 (has links)
An enquiry into the relevance and reliability of accounting information that is provided to natural shareholders in Australia. The findings provide evidence that the information needs of shareholders are not being met, and that the existing theory of auditor independence has not integrated the views of this large and significant group of shareholders.
