Text in Afrikaans / Die doel van hierdie studie was om te bepaal waarom kinders uit kinderhuise wegloop en om voorstelle ter voorkoming daarvan te maak. Ten opsigte van die fenomeen "wegloop" stateer die literatuur dat kinders wegloop vanaf onaangename omstandighede en/of wegloop na aangename omstandighede. Die belewing van gesinstres, gesinskonflik, portuurgroepdruk, utopiese voorstellings van wegloop, onaangename skoolbelewing en tiener swangerskap is aangeduide rolspelers onderliggend aan bogenoemde. Die empiriese studie na wegloop uit kinderhuise bet aan die lig gebring dat kinders uit kinderhuise wegloop weens traumatiese belewing van verwydering uit die ouerhuis, etikettering en inrigtingsversadiging. Voorts is bevind dat faktore wat onderliggend aan bogenoemde is, tot 'n groot mate voorkom kan word. Sekere aanbevelings ter voorkoming van wegloop uit kinderhuise is na aanleiding van die studie gedoen en kan gebruik word in die volwassene se bemoeienis met die kinderhuiskind. / The object of the study was to identify the reasons why children run away from children's homes and to make recommendations on how to prevent them from running away. On considering "run away" as a phenomenon, the literature states that children run away from harsh circumstances to acceptable or pleasant circumstances. Experiences such as family stress, conflict in the family, peer group pressure, romanticising the idea, harsh school experiences and teenage pregnancies are roll players subjacent to the above mentioned. The empirical study of "running away from children's homes" has confirmed that children run away because of traumatic separation from parental homes, labelling and institutional intolerance. Furthermore it was also found that factors subjacent to the above mentioned can be neutralised to a large extent. Certain guidelines have been recommended for adults when confronted with children in children's homes. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Voorligting)

In South Africa the idea of a peer helping service has gained impetus and is viewed as a viable option given the fact that there is a shortage of professional school-counsellors and complementary care-givers in the public school environment. This research emanated from an awareness that there was a need to develop an objective assessment tool regarding the identification of peer-counsellors. This instigated an investigation of the essential criteria, predominant characteristics and requirements of effective peer-counsellors. The primary focus of this research has been to develop a self-assessment instrument that will assist in the identification and selection of potential peer-counsellors. The self-assessment instrument proved to be a valuable tool in discriminating between good, average and weak peer-counsellors. Findings indicate that the self-assessment instrument should be used in conjunction with other modes of assessment such as the self-report data, teacher ratings and peer ratings. / Psychology of Education / M.

Die vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich modelltheoretisch mit drei Themenbereichen aus dem Feld der Bildungsforschung. Das erste Kapitel behandelt die Existenz von Studiengebühren. Bei der persönlichen Entscheidung für oder gegen ein Studium sind Studiengebühren ein Nachteil, vor allem, wenn dafür kein Angebot in Form von besseren Studienbedingungen existiert. Andererseits ist das Studium nicht nur eine finanzielle Entscheidung, sondern kann auch Nutzen in anderer Form wie Status oder Prestige bedeuten. Wenn der Status negativ von der Anzahl der Absolventen abhängt, könnte es von Vorteil sein, die Menge an Studenten künstlich durch Studiengebühren zu reduzieren. Es wird ein Modell präsentiert, in dem in einem statischen Gleichgewicht wohlhabendere und fähigere Studenten für höhere Studiengebühren stimmen, um die Absolventenzahl zu verknappen und den Status zu erhöhen. Das darauffolgende Kapitel enthält eine Erweiterung eines Signaling-Modells zur Notenvergabe. Das ursprüngliche Modell kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass Noteninflation unausweichlich ist, da gute Noten der Schule keine Kosten verursachen. Es existiert aber in der Realität ein gegenläufiger Effekt: Noteninflation hat Einfluss auf die Reputation einer Schule und führt daher bei zukünftigen Absolventen zu einer Erwartungsanpassung der Arbeitgeber. Die Erweiterung des Modells zeigt, dass Noteninflation mit Reputation verringert oder sogar vermieden werden kann. Im letzten Kapitel wird ein Modell präsentiert, das den Einfluss eines separierenden Schulsystems und eines Gesamtschulsystems auf die akademische Leistung abbildet. Es wird zwischen einer Anfangsfähigkeit eines Schülers unterschieden, die hauptsächlich durch die Familienherkunft bestimmt wird, und der Lernfähigkeit eines Schülers. Dabei wird gezeigt, dass die Leistung schlechterer Schüler in der Gesamtschule steigen kann, selbst wenn es keine Synergieeffekte zwischen guten und schlechten Schülern gibt. Der Effekt entsteht, da die Gesamtschule einen Kompromiss im Anspruchsniveau finden muss, welcher höher ist als das Anspruchsniveau in der separierten, schlechteren Klasse. Wenn die schlechteren Schüler die größere Lernfähigkeit besitzen, erhöht sich in der Gesamtschule sogar die Durchschnittsleistung aller Schüler.

Notre recherche s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux critères de sélection à retenir pour améliorer la pertinence de la méthode des multiples en ce qui concerne la sélection des multiples de référence, la sélection des sociétés comparables ou la combinaison de multiples.Nous confirmons que les multiples de valeur d’entreprise fondés des résultats (Ebitda ou Ebit) relatifs à des exercices prospectifs (par rapport à l’exercice réalisé) sont généralement les plus pertinents. En absence de résultats relatifs à des exercices prospectifs, disponibles au moment de l’évaluation, notre étude montre que les multiples d’Ebitda sont généralement plus pertinents.Nous confirmons que les taux de croissance anticipés de l’Ebitda et de l’Ebit sont généralement des indicateurs de performance pertinents pour identifier les sociétés les plus comparables au sein d’un groupe de pairs initialement constitué, en ce qui concerne les multiples d’Ebitda et d’Ebit relatifs à l’exercice réalisé.Notre étude montre que la combinaison des multiples de Capitaux employés et d’Ebit, d’une part, et d’Ebitda et d’Ebit, d’autre part (selon des coefficients de pondération spécifiques à chaque secteur d’activité), sont de nature à améliorer la pertinence de la méthode, par rapport à l’utilisation de ces multiples seuls.La démarche mise en œuvre dans cette recherche est susceptible d’être reproduite par les praticiens afin d’identifier au cas par cas les multiples simples ou combinés les plus pertinents pour chaque groupe de pairs sectoriels constitué. / Our research focuses more specifically on the selection criteria to be used to improve the relevance of the multiple-Based valuation method regarding the selection of reference multiples, the selection of comparable companies or the combination of multiples.We confirm that the Enterprise Value multiples based on prospective Ebit and Ebitda (versus actual) are generally the most relevant. In the absence of prospective data, available at the date of valuation, our study shows that Ebitda multiples are generally more relevant.We confirm that the expected growth rates of Ebitda or Ebit are generally relevant performance indicators to identify the most comparable companies among industry-Based peer groups, considering actual Ebitda and Ebit-Based multiples.Our study shows that the combination of Capital employed and Ebit-Based multiples, on the one hand, and of Ebitda and Ebit-Based multiples, on the other hand (based on weighted factors specific to each sector), are likely to improve the relevance of the method, compared to the use of these multiples, alone.The approach implemented in this research may be reproduced by practitioners to identify case by case single and combined multiples that are the most relevant for each industry-Based peer group.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Luciana Andréa Afonso Sigalla.pdf: 1991431 bytes, checksum: 4de1b944bf0af8da4869356fab76208b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-03-16 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This research, of a qualitative approach, had as a general objective to analyze the practice of peer tutoring performed in the Professional Master´s degree in Education: Education of Educators (Formação de Formadores - Formep), at the university PUC-SP, based on the perceptions of its participants, tutors and tutees of the Program. The specific objectives were: (1) to investigate whether this tutoring shows characteristics of a space not only collective, but also collaborative to work and education; (2) to identify the possible contributions of this practice to the research participants and (3) to identify the weaknesses of the tutorial and (4) to make suggestions for its improvement. The defended thesis is that the practice of peer tutoring at Formep is characterized as a collective-collaborative space of work and education, mutual learnings generator (of concepts, skills, relationships and attitudes), which can contribute to the academic and professional trajectories of the subjects involved, whoever they are; tutors and tutees of the Program, in the interactions which they establish among themselves. The theoretical foundation of the research is based on studies on adult learning (PLACCO; SOUZA, 2006); peer learning (DURAN; VIDAL, 2007; FRISON, 2012); collective-collaborative work (BOAVIDA; PONTE, 2002; FIORENTINI, 2004, FORTE, 2009; IMBERNÓN, 2009); fundamental learnings in life and work (DELORS et al., 2006); mediation, social interaction and zone of imminent development (ZID) (VIGOTSKI, 2007, 2009). The research had the participation of 30 subjects, being 13 tutors and 17 tutees, whose data were produced in discussion groups and in interviews. Data analysis was inspired by the Prose Analysis approach (ANDRÉ, 1983) and gave rise to seven analytical categories. Among the main discoveries, the following are highlighted: (1) the collective-collaborative aspect of the practice of academic tutoring at Formep; (2) the contributions of the tutoring, together with the academic monitoring, for the education of researchers, university teachers and supervisors of academic researches, in the case of tutors; (3) the contributions of the tutoring to the development of necessary skills in the post-graduation courses, such as defining a research topic, searching information in databases, preparing a bibliographic review, producing and reading academic texts, in the case of tutees; (4) the importance of interaction with advanced peers to enhance the reflexive and metacognitive capacities of tutors and tutees; (5) the importance of dialogue, negotiation and sharing of ideas, doubts and difficulties in education processes, in higher education. The analysis of the data allows us to affirm that the objectives of the research were reached and that the thesis defended was confirmed / Esta pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, teve como objetivo geral analisar a prática de tutoria acadêmica entre pares realizada no Mestrado Profissional em Educação: Formação de Formadores (Formep), da PUC-SP, a partir das percepções de seus participantes, tutores e tutorados do Programa. Os objetivos específicos foram: (1) investigar se a referida tutoria apresenta características de um espaço não apenas coletivo, mas também colaborativo de trabalho e formação; (2) identificar as possíveis contribuições dessa prática aos participantes da pesquisa e (3) identificar os pontos frágeis da tutoria e (4) apresentar sugestões para seu aprimoramento. A tese defendida é de que a prática de tutoria acadêmica entre pares realizada no Formep caracteriza-se como um espaço coletivo-colaborativo de trabalho e formação, gerador de aprendizagens mútuas (de conceitos, habilidades, relações e atitudes), que pode contribuir com as trajetórias acadêmica e profissional dos sujeitos envolvidos, quais sejam, tutores e tutorados do Programa, nas interações que eles estabelecem entre si. A fundamentação teórica da pesquisa está pautada em estudos sobre: aprendizagem do adulto (PLACCO; SOUZA, 2006); aprendizagem entre iguais (DURAN; VIDAL, 2007; FRISON, 2012); trabalho coletivo-colaborativo (BOAVIDA; PONTE, 2002; FIORENTINI, 2004; FORTE, 2009; IMBERNÓN, 2009); aprendizagens fundamentais na vida e na atuação profissional (DELORS et al., 2006); mediação, interação social e zona de desenvolvimento iminente (ZDI) (VIGOTSKI, 2007, 2009). A pesquisa contou com a participação de 30 sujeitos, sendo 13 tutores e 17 tutorados, cujos dados foram produzidos em grupos de discussão e entrevistas. A análise dos dados foi inspirada na abordagem Análise de Prosa (ANDRÉ, 1983) e deu origem a sete categorias analíticas. Dentre os principais achados, destacam-se: (1) o caráter coletivo-colaborativo da prática de tutoria acadêmica realizada no Formep; (2) as contribuições da tutoria, em conjunto com a monitoria, para a formação de pesquisadores, docentes universitários e orientadores de trabalhos acadêmicos, no caso dos tutores; (3) as contribuições da tutoria para o desenvolvimento de habilidades necessárias na pós-graduação, tais como delimitar um tema de pesquisa, buscar informações em bancos de dados, elaborar uma revisão bibliográfica, produzir e ler textos acadêmicos, no caso dos tutorados; (4) a importância da interação com pares avançados para a potencialização das capacidades reflexiva e metacognitiva de tutores e tutorados; (5) a importância do diálogo, da negociação e do compartilhamento de ideias, dúvidas e dificuldades em processos formativos, no ensino superior. A análise dos dados permite-nos afirmar que os objetivos da pesquisa foram alcançados e que a tese defendida foi confirmada

The aim of this thesis is to study young people's views on support, knowledge and change. The eight participants in this interview study are between 14 and 19 years old and they share the experience of growing up in a family where a parent is a substance misuser or mentally ill. Childhood sociology has been used as a theoretical framework. The main finding is that emotional and practical support based on the young person's needs and knowledge based on the ideas of empowerment and agency promotes change. The four most important insights according to the young persons are: My parent has got a problem. It is not my problem. I choose my own life. I am not alone. The theoretical perspective of childhood sociology suggests that positive change is possible when the young persons are seen as competent and active participants in their own life and when their value as human beings is acknowledged by those who aim to support them.

Recent developments in technology have increased the potential uses of electronic peer feedback. Because both computer-mediated and traditional peer review modes have their own strengths, some researchers have suggested that these two different modes can be used together; however, this combination mode of peer review has not been widely investigated. This study examines the impact of combining electronic commenting using editing features of Microsoft word and a course management system (Moodle) with face-to-face interaction as a two-step peer review process and compares this with a more traditional mode (pen-and-paper commenting and oral talk). It investigates students’ perceptions and attitudes toward these different modes of peer review and examines whether there are differences in the types of peer feedback given and the use of peer feedback in students’ subsequent revisions. Adopting a case study approach, both qualitative and quantitative data—students’ written and electronic texts (draft, peer feedback, and revisions), transcriptions of oral interactions, and pre-, mid-, post-stage interviews— were collected from eight ESL sub-degree students in Hong Kong. The results revealed that the majority of participants preferred the combination mode of peer review because it merged some of the most useful features of e-feedback and oral talk. In terms of feedback, students in both the combination group and the traditional group liked to receive revision-oriented comments; however, their preferences for feedback on their own writing were not always consistent with the types of comments they actually provided. The findings also indicated that the combination mode was more effective in terms of number of comments and different types of feedback provided. It was found that there was a complex relationship between different aspects of peer feedback, including area (global versus local), function (evaluation, question, explanation, suggestion, and alteration), and medium (written, electronic, and oral). Oral responses and comments on the Moodle forum focused more on global evaluation and suggestions, while large amounts of written comments and e-feedback generated by the editing features were corrections for surface level errors. With respect to revisions, both groups made a similar total number of changes to their texts but changes from the combination group included more frequent direct use of peer feedback, whereas a larger percentage of self-initiated changes were made by the traditional group. In addition, this study shows how other individual factors influence the efficacy of peer review, including relationship between peers; students’ attitudes and stances; motivation, and participation; (mis)match between writer’s expected feedback and reviewer’s comments and students’ prior experiences with peer response. This study has demonstrated the considerable benefits of using both electronic and face-to-face peer feedback in a combination mode and shed light on the changing roles of the instructor, students and technology in the twenty-first century writing classroom. This study has also yielded a number of pedagogical insights to help teachers to effectively implement new technologies when planning to use peer response in their writing classrooms. / published_or_final_version / Education / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

霸凌事件頻繁出現在各大報章雜誌，霸凌受害者在霸凌事件中經常處於權力不均等的地位，無法主動求援。借鏡西方之成功反霸凌計畫，發現霸凌事件中旁觀者的反應對於揭露、制止霸凌有相當之重要性。本研究將霸凌旁觀者區分為保護者以及局外者，過往研究發現兩者雖同為霸凌事件之旁觀者，然其行為結果卻有截然不同的影響。保護者行為的出現，可使學生對校園安全感受提高並有助於降低霸凌發生率，局外者行為則否。本研究參考Latané 與 Darley（1970）提出之旁觀者決策歷程模式等助人行為理論，推論學生對霸凌的態度、個人責任感，以及同儕團體規範會影響旁觀者的行為傾向，期望透過本研究了解國中學生旁觀霸凌事件的反應傾向，以及影響旁觀者行為之個人及同儕因素。 本研究採取實證典範之調查研究方法，研究樣本包和高雄市都會區國民中學421位學生，並且採用描述性統計、T檢定、單因子變異數分析以及多元迴歸等研究方法，依據受試者在「旁觀者行為」量表、霸凌「態度」量表、「個人責任感」量表以及「同儕團體規範」量表之得分進行統計分析。研究發現如下： 一、高雄市都會區國中學生，具有中度之保護者行為以及局外者行為傾向。 二、女性相較於男性較傾向出現保護者行為，對霸凌持較高的反對態度，且對「朋友」具有較高之個人責任感。 三、學生對「同學」之「個人責任感」受到「年級」所影響，「七年級」學生對於同學之個人責任感高於「八、九年級」學生。 四、學生對於「同學」之「個人責任感」以及「同儕團體規範」可以預測「保護者行為傾向」以及「局外者行為傾向」。 最後，依據本研究的結果提出實務建議與未來研究方向。 / Bullying is frequently reported in major newspapers and magazines. Bullying victims are usually in a disadvantaged position making them unable to call for help on their own. Successful anti-bullying programs in the west have found that bystanders hold an important role in the disclosure or cessation of bullying incidents. This study classified bystanders into defenders and outsiders. Although both are bystanders, defenders could increase a sense of security on campus and reduce the incidence of bullying. Outsiders, on the other hand, could not achieve such effect. Using Latané & Darley, s decision-tree model of bystander intervention, this study hypothesized that personal attitude and responsibility and peer group norm toward bullying would affect bystander behavior in the incidence of bullying. This study aimed to understand the way Taiwanese junior high students responded to bullying and factors that might affect bystander behavior. Using survey research method, data were collected from 421 junior high school students in Kaohsiung Metropolitan Area as samples using questionnaires, including bystander behavior scale, bullying attitude scale, personal responsibility scale, and peer group norms scale. Statistical methods, such as descriptive statistics、t-tests、one way ANOVAs, and multiple regressions, were used, and the results are reported in the following: 1.Junior high school students in Kaohsiung Metropolitan Area had above average scores in their behavioral tendency as defenders or outsiders in incidence of bullying. 2.Female tended to have more defender behavior than male did. Also, female tended to oppose bullying more strongly and showed more sense of personal responsibility if “a friend” was bullied. 3.“Seventh graders” showed stronger sense of personal responsibility than 8th and 9th graders. 4.The sense of personal responsibility if “a classmate” was bullied and peer group norm (peers tended to aid the victims) both predicted behavioral tendency as defenders and outsider. Implications and future directions were discussed.
