Šiame tyrime analizuojamas specialiųjų poreikių (sutrikusio intelekto) mokinių tikybos pamokų individualizavimo galimybės. Pedagogai turi būti įvaldę specialiuosius gebėjimus bei mokėti atpažinti vaikų vystymosi ypatingumus, mokėti modeliuoti specialiuosius ugdymosi poreikius, tiksliai apibūdinti vaiko problemas, mokymosi sunkumus bei sudaryti individualią programą. Visa tai kelia daug sunkumų ir todėl keliamas probleminis klausimas – kaip individualizuoti mokymą specialiųjų poreikių mokiniams tikybos pamokose? Tyrimo tikslas - išskirti mokymo individualizavimo ypatumus tikybos pamokose dirbant su sutrikusio intelekto mokiniais. Tikslui pasiekti buvo įgyvendinti šie uždaviniai:sutrikusio intelekto vaiko poreikių įvardinimas, mokymo individualizavimo ypatumų tikybos pamokose identifikavimas bei empirinio tyrimo metu mokymo individualizavimo tikybos pamokose galimybių išskyrimas. Tyrimo objektas - mokymo individualizavimas tikybos pamokoje, dalyvaujant specialiųjų poreikių (sutrikusio intelekto) vaikui. Tyrimas: dokumentų analizė, atliktas kovo- gegužės mėn. Kauno Eigulių vidurinėje mokykloje. Tyrimo rezultatai liudija, kad ugdymo turinio tikybos pamokose individualizavimą lemia daug veiksnių: atsižvelgimas į tam tikrus bendros raidos sutrikimus , integracijos pripažinimas, mokinio specialiųjų poreikių pažinimas, gebėjimas modeliuoti įvairias veiklas taikant aktyvius mokymo būdus, bendradarbiavimas su mokyklos specialistais bei šeimos nariais, gebėjimas mokyti...

The pedagogues should be masters of the specials teaching abilities, developmental particularities , designing of special educational needs, informed children problems, difficulties of studying and making individualization of the content of education . It isn’t very simple, so the problematic question – ho to make individualization of teaching special needs pupils (intellect disorder)? The aim of the work was to exclude the peculiarities of individualization of teaching working with special needs pupils. This was performed by problem- solving, which are indicating the needs of special needs pupils, identifying the peculiarities of individualization of teaching and accentuating the possibilities of individualized teaching in religion lessons. The object of research is individualization of teaching in religion lessons with special needs (intellect disorder) pupils. The research: analysis of papers of secondary- school Eiguliai in Kaunas. The main conclusions of the research are telling that the individualization of the content of education in religion lessons is determined by many factors: consideration of certain disorders of general development, acceptance of integration, recognition of needs of special needs pupils, ability to model various activities applying active teaching methods, cooperation with school specialists and family members, ability to...

Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti gabių mokinių intelekto ir nerimo sąsajas keturioliktaisiais – penkioliktaisiais gyvenimo metais. Šiuo darbu siekiama nustatyti ar gabūs mokiniai patiria aukštesnį nerimo lygį, juos lyginant su vidutinius gabumus turinčiais mokiniais ir ar geriau besimokantys vaikai patiria aukštesnį nerimo lygį lyginant su prasčiau besimokančiais vaikais. Taip pat buvo siekiama sužinoti ar vaikų mokymosi pažangumas priklauso nuo tėvų mokslinių pasiekimų ir ar gabių moksleivių tėvai yra labiau išsilavinę. Tyrimas buvo atliekamas naudojant R. Amthauerio IST-70 testą, vaikų intelektui nustatyti, nerimo lygiui nustatyti buvo naudotas T. A. Нeмчин „Nerimo pasireiškimo skalės“ antrasis testas. Šiomis metodikomis buvo ištirti vienos Kauno gimnazijos 199 mokiniai iš 8 devintųjų klasių, 3 anketos buvo atmestos, dėl neatsakytų klausimų. Gabiųjų mokinių kategorijai buvo priskirti tie mokiniai, kurių IQ lygus arba didesni už 115. Tyrimas atskleidė, kad nerimo lygis nesusijęs su tuo ar vaikas yra gabus, ar pasižymi vidutiniais gebėjimais, statistiškai reikšmingas skirtumas nestebimas (p>0,05). 44,4% geriau besimokančių mokinių patiria aukštą nerimo lygį kai tuo tarpu aukštą nerimo lygį patiria tik 25,3% prasčiau besimokančių mokinių, šios grupės statistiškai reikšmingai skiriasi (p<0,019). Tyrimas atskleidė, kad moksleivių intelektiniai gebėjimai nesusiję su lyties faktoriumi, bet nerimo lygis susijęs – mergaitės pasižymi didesniu nerimu nei berniukai (p<0,0001). Buvo nustatyta...

This Master’s thesis also aims to analyze whether pupils’ progressiveness depends on their parents’ study achievements and whether pupils who learn well have better educated parents. R. Amthauer test (IST-70) was used to measure children’s intellect level and T. A. Нeмчин second test of The Scale of Anxiety Manifest was used to measure children’s anxiety level. These methods were used in a survey involving 199 9th year pupils from one Kaunas gymnasium, 3 questionnaires were rejected due to unanswered questions. Pupils, who IQ were equal or more than 115, were classified to gifted children. The research showed that the level of anxiety does not depend on whether a child is gifted or has an average talent, a statistically significant difference was not observed (p>0,05). 44,4 % of pupils who learn well experience a high level of anxiety compared to only 25,3 % of pupils who learn worse and also experience a high level of anxiety, a statistically significant difference was observed (p<0,019). The research also revealed that pupils’ intellectual capabilities do not depend on sex, but the level of anxiety does: girls are more anxious than boys (p<0,0001). It was established...

La présente étude est une analyse et une reconstruction interprétative de la centurie de Calliste Cataphygiotès, intitulée De l'union avec Dieu et de la vie contemplative, chapitres syllogistiques et hauts. Notre approche à ce texte pluridisciplinaire est prioritairement philosophique. Dans le but de mettre en valeur l'intérêt philosophique qu'il représente, nous avons concentré notre analyse sur les problèmes liés au rapport de l'intellect avec l'Un, sur l'étude du concept de l'infini, sur son rôle dans la contemplation et sur la méthode dialectique dont Calliste Cataphygiotès s'en sert. Nous avons reconstruit la doctrine de la contemplation, implicite au texte de Calliste et nous avons tenté une reconstruction globale de la centurie qui permettra au lecteur d'apprécier les qualités spéculatives et l'esprit synthétique de ce mystique byzantin presque inconnu. / The present study is an analysis and an interpretative reconstruction of Callistus Cataphygiotes's syllogistic chapters, entitled The union with God and the contemplative life. Our approach to this multidisciplinary text is primarily philosophical. In order to emphasize the philosophical aspect of the text we focused our analysis on issues related to the concept of infinity, its role in contemplation, the relation of the intellect with the One, as well as the dialectical method used by Callistus Cataphygiotes. We rebuilt the doctrine of contemplation, implied in the text of Callistus and we tried to do a complete reconstruction of the text that will allow the reader to appreciate the speculative and the synthetic spirit of this almost unknown Byzantine mystic.

The Employment Equity Act, 55 of 1998, Section 8 (Government Gazette, 1998) provides clear guidelines for psychometric testing in South Africa. Due to the cultural complexity of the South African population, personality tests in particular do not always comply with these specifications. Most personality tests used in South Africa have been developed in and imported from other countries, and are consequently not always appropriate for all cultural groups. Also, the majority of indigenous personality tests were developed and standardised specifically for the white population. Today a major challenge in personality assessment development is to develop and standardise inventories for the 11 official language groups in South Africa. The objectives of this study were to develop valid and reliable items for an Intellect–measuring instrument that will form part of a larger personality inventory, to investigate the factor solution of this Intellect cluster, and to compare the factor solutions of the white and African race groups respectively. An Intellect questionnaire consisting of 202 items was developed based on the qualitative phase of the South African Personality Inventory (SAPI). This research served as a pilot study. The sample consisted of (N=524) students from tertiary institutions in the Gauteng and the North West Provinces of South Africa. A quantitative design with an exploratory approach was used to collect data. Statistical analysis was used to analyse the data. The results indicated that only 18 of the original 202 items proved to be unreliable. Acceptable reliability levels for all facets were found. First–order factor analysis produced two sub–clusters: Aesthetics and Intellect. The Aesthetics sub–cluster consisted of the Artistic, Concrete work and Creative facets, and the Intellect sub–cluster consisted of the Intellect, Knowledgeable, Logical, Self–insight, Articulate, Competent, Enterprising, Perceptive, Social Intellect and Understanding facets. Second–order factor analysis indicated a single–order factor for the Intellect cluster with two second–order factors: Aesthetics and Intellect. Support was found to discard the Musical and Enterprising facets from the Intellect cluster. Similar factor solutions were found for the white and African groups - except for the Musical facet, which loaded on the Aesthetics sub–cluster for the white group and on the Intellect sub–cluster for the African group. Recommendations were made for future research. / Thesis (M.Com. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

La thèse interroge le sens du travail, des origines de son institution dans la pensée politique moderne aux plus récentes transformations qui marquent le passage aux économies post-fordistes. La principale caractéristique que présentent ces dernières tient à leur intégration, au sein de la sphère productive, de toutes les activités de nature informationnelle, communicationnelle et affective, qui, traditionnellement, lui étaient demeurées extérieure. Cette opération est analysée grâce aux concepts de travail immatériel et de production biopolitique développés par les penseurs associés au mouvement opéraïste. Afin de sonder les conséquences de cette fusion de la production matérielle, éthique et juridique, la thèse sollicite l’éclairage de l’analyse marxienne de la valeur, qu’elle fait ensuite résonner avec la pensée de la technique que propose Heidegger, dans l’optique d’un dépassement de la métaphysique moderne du sujet, où, selon un diagnostic commun aux auteurs, se situe l’origine d’un asservissement du tout de la vie à un régime de production dévastateur – le nihilisme, ou la ruine de toutes les valeurs. S’appuyant sur une lecture contemporaine de Spinoza, notamment par Negri, cette critique de la métaphysique se révèle le geste initiateur d’un procès constitutif proprement politique. Enracinant plutôt le fondement de l’activité dans une ontologie de la finitude essentielle élaborée à la faveur d’une phénoménologie de la praxis collective, la thèse parcourt le chemin qui mène de l’explicitation du sens du travail comme usure du monde dans son ensemble, à l’anamnèse d’un usage intégral de la puissance productive, qui permet, dans les conditions actuelles de la production biopolitique, de déployer une imagination constitutive pour laquelle la notion d’utilité, au sens métaphysique, fournit un principe d’évaluation. Il s’agit d’apprécier, parmi les dynamiques tendancielles inhérentes aux formes de vie et de subjectivité engendrées dans la mobilisation incessante et irréversible qui nous affecte, l’imminence d’une réalisation du communisme dans la transvaluation de l’industrie en désœuvrement.

[Truncated abstract] Central to the study of general intelligence is Spearman?s g, one definition of which is general fluid reasoning ability. At a cognitive level of explanation, it has recently been hypothesized that individual differences in g is based in the executive functions of the frontal lobes. This theory can be contrasted with the theory that the fount of g is speed of information processing. The aim of this thesis was to test the idea that the two contrasting theories of g could be reconciled by invoking an alternative theory which suggests that there may be two g?s one related to individual differences in intelligence and attributable to differences in speed of information processing and one related to the development of intelligence and based in executive functions of the frontal lobes. This was done with a series of neuropsychological studies that tested groups of adults and children with and without putative central nervous system damage on tests of fluid intelligence, executive function, goal-neglect, and speed of information processing. In study 1, three adults with focal frontal lobe lesions and ten adults with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) were administered three common intelligence tests. In comparison to premorbid and crystallized measures on intelligence, the majority of frontal patients exhibited impaired fluid g. In study 2, 10 patients with FTD, 8 patients with Alzheimer?s disease (AD), 10 adult controls, and 15 adults with low fluid g, were tested on a fast and slow version of a goal-neglect task (thought to measure executive functioning) and a measure of speed of processing. A classical double dissociation was found. Frontal patients with impaired fluid g displayed goal-neglect but intact speed of information processing whereas the adults with low fluid g exhibited slowed speed of information 2 processing but not goal-neglect. It was concluded that the link between fluid g and goal-neglect in adults (demonstrated by previous research) was based on a speed of information processing confound in the goal-neglect task. In study 3, a series of hierarchical regressions were conducted to analyse the performances of 116 children aged 6- to 11-years on all tests. The statistical attempt to dissociate executive function and speed of information processing only provided tentative support for the hypothesis that executive functions are the basis of developmental changes in g
