Esse trabalho busca compreender as características físicas da sala, sua relevância e a relação de dependência entre essas características na influência da qualidade acústica. Por meio de estudos de caso foi feita uma análise de dependência entre os fatores que caracterizavam a acústica da sala utilizando a metodologia proposta por Christopher Alexander no seu livro Notes on the synthesis of form. Essa metodologia utiliza-se de princípios que orientam e organizam o desenvolvimento de projetos complexos. A aplicação dessa metodologia serviu para estruturar um contexto, que são os requisitos funcionais de cada estudo de caso, e como a forma (resultado do processo de projeto) responde a esse contexto. O estudo das relações entre os requisitos funcionais e a forma da sala ajudou a identificar elementos fundamentais no projeto arquitetônico e a hierarquizar as características da sala, a fim de descobrir a influência das decisões de projeto na qualidade acústica da sala. Os resultados dessa metodologia relativos a acústica de salas de concerto proporcionou uma otimização do processo de projeto, tornando-o mais claro e menos dependente da tentativa e erro, contribuindo para a concepção ou reforma para ajuste acústico de uma sala. A otimização do processo melhora o diálogo entre as equipes envolvidas no projeto como arquitetos e consultores acústicos / Abstract: The influence of architectural design in acoustics of concert halls is the object of study in this research. This work seeks to understand the physical characteristics of the room, its relevance and the relationship of dependence between these characteristics on the influence of acoustic quality. Through case studies was made an analysis of dependence among the factors that characterized the room using the methodology proposed by Christopher Alexander in his book Notes on the synthesis of form. This methodology presents some principles that guide and organize the development of complex projects. The application of this methodology was used to design a context, which are the functional requirements of each case study, and how the form (result of process design) responds to that context. The study of relationships between functional requirements and the form of the room helped to identify key elements in architectural design and prioritize the features of the room, to discover the influence of design decisions as the room acoustics. The results of this methodology for the acoustics of concert halls provided an optimization of the design process, making it more transparent and less dependent on trial and error, contributing to the design of a room, as well as reforms in acoustic settings. The optimization process improves the dialogue between the teams involved in the project as architects and acoustics consultants / Mestrado / Arquitetura e Construção / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

Den här fallstudien undersöker utmaningar med projekt som arbetsform. Fallstudien är gjord på ett större företag som har arbetat i projektform under många år, som har problem med att kostnaderna drar iväg okontrollerat under projektens gång och det är svårt att hålla tider i projekten. Studien är inriktad på projektets första faser eftersom det är där det går att påverka resurs- och tidsåtgång och således hela utgången för projektet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur en projektorganisation skulle kunna arbeta i de tidiga faserna av projekt, för att projekten ska hålla sig inom angivna ramar för tid och kostnad. En kvalitativ metod valdes för att få en djupare förståelse för fallföretagets nuvarande situation. Sekundärdata insamlades genom vetenskapliga artiklar och litteratur inom området projektarbete. Det empiriska materialet samlades in genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med 12 personer som arbetar i olika roller i fallföretagets projekt. Det empiriska materialet bearbetades sedan och skapade på så vis studiens resultat. Studiens analys och diskussion skapades genom att ställa resultatet mot teorin. Studien visar att det är viktigt att fokusera på arbetet i de tidiga faserna av projekt för att lyckas med projekten som helhet. Studien bidrar med en systematisk genomgång av de problem som kan uppstå i tidiga faser av projekt samt förslag på lösningar av dessa problem.

The case study is done at a larger company which has been working with project as a work form through many years, facing issues with keeping within time limits and over limited costs. The study is fo-cused upon the first phases of the project, because that is where impact can be made on the time- and resource- limits and therefore has an impact on the outcome of the project. The purpose of the study is to investigate how a project organisation could work in the early phases of a project, for the projects to be able to stay within the time frame and to keep costs down. A qualitative method was chosen to get a deeper understanding of the current situation of the case company's situation. Secondary data was brought together by scientific papers and litera-ture within the fields of the current project case. The empirical material was brought together through semi-structured interviews with 12 different people who all had different working fields within the project. Thereafter the empirical material was processed and created the re-sult of the study. Analyse and discussion of the study was created by putting the result to-wards the theory. The study shows that it is important to focus on the work in the early phases of a project for the success of the projects as a whole. The study provides a systematic review of the problems that can occur in the early phases of a project and propose solutions to these problems.

The thesis explores possibilities of linking the symbolic frameworks and project method into a functional complex, which would enrich education. The reason of connection can be mainly found in strengthening the internal motivation of pupils and in bringing themes coming from the world of children into education as well.

Esta dissertação de mestrado, circunscrita à área de Didática, teorias de ensino e práticas escolares tem, como objeto de estudo, a produção pedagógica do professor William Heard Kilpatrick (18711965), tema pouco explorado no campo das pesquisas em educação. Herdeiro de John Dewey, mas com uma reflexão singular, o autor tem uma contribuição relevante no que se refere ao reconhecimento da necessidade de raciocínio filosófico e da reflexão para sublinhar os efeitos e possibilidades políticas da educação. A análise das concepções de Kilpatrick e da sua atuação no movimento de educação progressista do início do século XX demonstrou que suas ideias também continuam a ser pertinentes e relevantes para as discussões que têm ocorrido nos últimos anos, nas quais é observado um esforço para compreender as mudanças sociais, os propósitos democráticos da escolaridade, bem como a necessidade de vincular esses fins com ações pedagógicas concretas. Assim, a opção de analisar a obra desse autor justifica-se por sua relevância histórica, pela lacuna de pesquisas que se dediquem ao tema e, à medida do que é possível, encontrar na vanguarda da pedagogia atual referências a muitas de suas ideias, além de importantes releituras e aplicações do método de projetos.O estudo visa contribuir para a contextualização da obra pedagógica de Kilpatrick à luz de suas concepções mais amplas, enfocando as ideias de currículo e aprendizagem e descrevendo o método de projetos por ele proposto; também busca investigar as aproximações e distâncias entre o método de projetos apresentado por Kilpatrick e a apropriação feita por Fernando Hernández, presente em seu método de projetos de trabalho, dentro de uma perspectiva de busca de sentido da abordagem contemporânea do método de projetos. Configurou-se como método pertinente a esta pesquisa a leitura analítica da bibliografia selecionada: obras específicas de Kilpatrick, que abarcam suas concepções educacionais, parte do referencial acadêmico acerca da obra do autor e de suas matrizes teóricas e obras sobre o método de projetos que compõem o objeto de análise. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que, compreender o uso dos projetos na escola contemporânea requer um diálogo com a perspectiva de Kilpatrick proposta em acordo com a ideia da construção e consolidação da sociedade democrática e que sua obra é material relevante para pesquisas educacionais. / This dissertation, confined to the area of Didactics, theories of teaching and school practices has, as its object of study, the pedagogical production of Professor William Heard Kilpatrick (1871-1965), a subject little explored in the field of research in education. Disciple of John Dewey, but with its own singular reflection, the author has an important contribution regarding to the recognition of the need for philosophical reasoning and reflection to emphasize the effects and political possibilities of education. The analysis of the conceptions of Kilpatrick and his performance in the progressive education movement of the early twentieth century also showed that his ideas remain pertinent and relevant to the discussions that have occurred in recent years, which is observed in an effort to understand the social changes, the democratic purposes of schooling, as well as the need to link these purposes with concrete pedagogical actions. Thus, the option to review the work of this author is justified by its historical relevance, the lack of research devoted to the topic and, to the extent that is possible, to find at the forefront of current teaching references to many of his ideas, as well of important readings and applications of the project method. The study aims to contextualize the pedagogical work of Kilpatrick in light of his broader conceptions, focusing on the ideas of curriculum and learning and describing the project method proposed by him; also investigates the approximations and the distances between the project method of Kilpatrick and the appropriation made by Fernando Hernández, present in his method of work projects, within a perspective of seeking contemporary approach towards the project method. It was configured as a relevant method to this research, the analytical readings of selected bibliography: Kilpatricks specific works, which covers his educational concepts, part of the academic references about the author\'s work and his theoretical frameworks and works on the project method that composes the object of analysis. The results of the research indicates that, understanding the use of projects in the contemporary school, requires a dialogue with the prospect of Kilpatricks proposal in accordance with the idea of building and consolidating the democratic society and that his work is a relevant material for educational research.

This mixed methodology study investigated the arts integration practices of music teaching artists participating in four selected elementary school arts integration projects in the United States. This study also explored the possibility that music teaching artists’ formal education, arts integration training and professional development, and their own attitudes as well as different stakeholders’ attitudes about arts integration and music education impacted their arts integration practices. The explanatory two-phase design of this study began with the collection and analysis of quantitative data and was followed by the collection and analysis of qualitative data, thus connecting the results from the former to those from the latter. The quantitative data provided information for purposefully selecting the interview participants who provided the qualitative data collection in phase two. The data gathered in this study indicate that the music teaching artists shared similar beliefs about arts integration but that they believed their school leaders’ goals and objectives differed from their own. The data also provided evidence for concluding that the music teaching artists believe that the most successful arts integration projects are those that are collaborative partnerships between an arts specialist or classroom teacher and a teaching artist. A unexpected finding in this study was the teaching and exploration of sound in arts integration projects team taught between a sound teaching artist,–some without musical backgrounds or formal training–a music teaching artist, and a classroom teacher. The statistical analysis in this study regarding the degree to which formal education, arts integration professional development and training, music teaching artists’ attitudes about arts integration, and the beliefs held by music teaching artists regarding school leaders’ and their arts organization’s administrators’ attitudes about arts integration were predictors of the arts integration practices as self-reported by music teaching artists produced results that were non-significant. The content analysis of curriculum documents and student products submitted by the study participants revealed information to support the findings from the interview and survey data / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

In today’s changing environment, creation of projects by organizations has become more common. The problem is, though, that the knowledge of the subject is still limited which causes many projects to fail. This has made it extra important to have a good project manager whocanlead the project in the right direction. While doing this both the project method and the project manager’s motivation are contributing sources. That is why this studywill take a deeper look into the project methodand the motivation of the project manager and also the relationship between these two. To do this, this study is based on a theory of motivation, the Vroom’s expectancy theory. The purpose with this study is to create a greater understanding for the project methodand how it is affected by the motivation. This is a qualitative study in which interviews with four project managers has been done. The results showed that there is a connection both between the different variables in the Expectancy theory, but also connected to how these are affecting the project method. / I dagens ombytliga samhälle har det blivit allt vanligare att företag skapar projekt. Kunskapen kring området har dock inte hunnit med i utvecklingstakten vilket har gjort att många projekt misslyckas. En viktig faktor är projektledaren som påverkar projektet på många plan vilket gör att både projektledarens arbetssätt samt motivation spelar in. Det är just dessa två eller närmare bestämt projektmetoden och projektledarens motivation samt relationen mellan dem som den här studien kommer atttitta närmare på. För att göra det såhar studien utgått från en teori om motivation som heter Vrooms förväntansteorin. Syftet med studien är att skapa en ökad förståelse för projektmetodenoch hur den kan påverkas av motivationen. En kvalitativ studie där intervjuer med fyra projektledare har gjorts vilka resulterade i att samband mellan både de olika variablerna i förväntansteorin kunde hittas och samband i hur dessa påverkar projektmetoden. Utifrån resultaten drar studien slutsatsen att motivationen kanpåverka hur projektledaren använder projektmetoden via de olika variablerna i förväntansteorin.

Research on project-based instruction is common in mainstream education. It conceives the activity broadly, but omits language. It is rare in English as a Second Language (ESL) education, and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theory conceives it narrowly, omitting a functional view of language. The present study examines the implementation of project-based instruction in ESL classes in a Canadian secondary school through interviews with Canadian ESL teachers and Chinese ESL students, observations of two projects in action, and examination of students' written work, and school, school board and Ministry of Education documents. Results indicate that the teachers held and implemented a broad, integrated conception of project-based instruction that includes a functional view of language. They have many more goals than those stressed for project-based instruction in the SLA literature, and have goals that are not included even in the mainstream literature. The teachers evaluated project-based instruction positively, and the researcher's observations support the teachers' evaluations. However, despite teacher's and students' successes, a number of students evaluated project-based instruction negatively. This discrepancy is discussed using three explanatory models (philosophical, cultural, and linguistic) that the participants may have been using when interpreting project-based instruction. The study points to the need to develop a rationale which adequately addresses project-based instruction as a functional language learning activity in the context of academic subject matter learning. It identifies problems of cross-cultural interpretation of and communication about projects, and notes difficulties of resolving them. It points out the necessity for an examination of the processes of project-based instruction, noting places of difficulty and success, and considering promising strategies.
