Towards a Franciscan model of clinical pastoral supervisionBrice, John Henry 30 November 2003 (has links)
Towards a Franciscan model of Clinical pastoral supervision is a study of interaction between two movements: Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) and Franciscan Spirituality. Francis and Clare were the primary founders of the Franciscan movement and Franciscan spirituality arose from their reflections on their unique response of following Christ. From the early Franciscan sources, essential elements are retrieved. Compassion is illustrated as a key quality of this model through textual analysis of four stories of Francis and his early followers. Clinical Pastoral Education is a result of the contributions of three founders: Keller, Cabot and Boisen. Clinical pastoral supervision (CPS) is a distinguishing concept of CPE. Various models of CPS are categorised according to three paradigms of western society: classical, modern and postmodern. The study concludes by framing a Franciscan model of clinical pastoral supervision. Contemplation and compassion are the two Franciscan characteristics which give this model a unique Franciscan dimension. / New Testament / M.Th.

A simulation study of the effect of therapeutic horseback riding : a logistic regression approachPauw, Jeanette 11 1900 (has links)
Therapeutic horseback riding (THR) uses the horse as a therapeutic apparatus in physical
and psychological therapy. This dissertation suggests a more appropriate technique for
measuring the effect of THR. A research survey of the statistical methods used to
determine the effect of THR was undertaken. Although researchers observed clinically
meaningful change in several of the studies, this was not supported by statistical tests. A
logistic regression approach is proposed as a solution to many of the problems
experienced by researchers on THR. Since large THR related data sets are not available,
data were simulated. Logistic regression and t-tests were used to analyse the same
simulated data sets, and the results were compared. The advantages of the logistic
regression approach are discussed. This statistical technique can be applied in any field
where the therapeutic value of an intervention has to be proven scientifically. / Mathematical Sciences / M. Sc. (Statistics)

Enhancing realistic academic self-actualisation : a psycho-andragogical perspective / Bevordering van realistiese akademiese selfaktualisering : 'n Psigo-andragogiese perspektiefSonnekus, Ingrid Phyllis 11 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / This research was triggered by the need to assist first year students in a way which had not
been addressed by the people involved with the upliftment of disadvantaged students. The
aspect which was addressed was the personal growth of the adult learner within the
academic situation with consideration of his own personal circumstances and ideals. This
means that a micro level approach was generated by creating the Academic Enhancement
Programme (AEP). The purpose of the programme is to give adult learners the opportunity
to understand themselves and their own value systems better on a micro, meso and macro
level, to experience personal growth or self-actualisation and to see how these factors
influence the adult learners' interaction with the tertiary academic situation.
Eight possible value systems were discussed and introduced to the adult learners who
participated in the Academic Enhancement Programme. The adult learners were given the
opportunity to measure themselves against the value systems and to evaluate how these
influenced their realistic academic self-actualisation. The psycho-andragogical categories
were utilised during the application of the programme as criteria to evaluate the
effectiveness of the programme.
The following recommendations were made
• the creation of a faculty specific induction programme
• linking study packages directly to the context of adult learners
• organising personal academic contact
• giving personal academic support
• making the evaluation procedures transparent
• creating and supporting informal study groups
Although the study has certain limitations, it should be of great value to the university
system during the transformation phase that it is experiencing at present. The main aim
of the study is, however, the contribution to the academic growth of the adult learner in the
tertiary situation / Hierdie navorsing het ontstaan vanuit die behoefte om eerstejaarstudente op 'n bepaalde
wyse te ondersteun. Hierdie wyse is nog nie aangespreek deur mense wat met
benadeelde studente gewerk het nie. Die aspek wat ondersoek is, is die persoonlike groei
wat volwasse leerders ervaar binne die akademiese situasie met inagneming van hulle eie
persoonlike omstandighede en ideale. Dit het beteken dat daar deur middel van 'n
mikrobenadering 'n Akademiese Verrykingsprogram geskep moes word. Die doel van die
program is drievoudig: Dit meet aan volwasse leerders die geleentheid bied om hulleself
en hulle waardesisteme beter te verstaan in 'n mikro-, meso- en makroverband; om
persoonlike groei I selfaktualisering te ervaar en om tot die besef te kom dat hierdie
aangeleenthede hulle interaksie met die tersiere akademiese situasie be'invloed.
Agt verskillende waardesisteme is bespreek en aan die volwasse leerders wat aan die
Akademiese Verrykingsprogram deelgeneem het, voorgehou. Die volwasse leerders het
die geleentheid gekry om hulself aan hierdie waardesisteme te meet. Hulle kon ook in die
loop van die program vasstel hoe dit hulle realistiese akademiese selfaktualisering
be'invloed. Die psigo-andragogiese kategoriee is tydens die toepassing van die program
as kriteria gebruik om die effektiwiteit van die program te bepaal.
Die volgende aanbevelings is gemaak:
• dat 'n fakulteit-spesifieke induksieprogram geskep meet word,
• dat studiepakkette direk aan die volwasse leerder se verwysingsraamwerk
gekoppel meet word,
• dat persoonlike akademiese ondersteuning gebied meet word,
• dat persoonlike kontak op akademiese gebied bewerkstellig moet word,
• dat evalueringsprosedures deursigtig gemaak meet word,
• dat informele studiegroepe tot stand gebring en onderhou meet word.
Alhoewel die studie aan verskeie beperkings onderhewig is, behoort dit vir die
universiteitswese tydens die huidige transformasiegebeure van groot waarde te wees. Die
belangrikste doel van die navorsing is egter die bydrae wat dit kan lewer tot die akademiese
groei van die volwasse leerder in die tersiere situasie. / Psychology of Education / D.Ed. (Psychology of Education)

An evaluation of the "Life Skills Train the Trainer Programme"Baloyi, Lydia Tsakane 11 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Life skills are coping skills taught to learners, with the purpose of developing self-reliant and confident people with skills, to cope with important life's challenges in times of change.
Where life skill education initiatives are being set up, much time and resources are channelled into training teachers, promoting, disseminating and implementing life skill education. For life skill education to be effective and continue to be relevant, research
needs to be undertaken as an integral part of the whole process.
This study focuses on the 'Life Skills Train the Trainer Programme'. The aim being to evaluate the success of this programme in empowering teachers to teach life skills. It was found that although life skill education has been found to be an important area in
every learner's life, there are obstacles that may affect an effective implementation of life skill education in schools. These obstacles need to be attended to. / ewensvaardighede word aan leerlinge onderrig met die doe! om selfstandigheid en selfversekerdheid te ontwikkel, sodat hulle in staat is om lewenseise te midde van veranderende tye te kan hanteer
Wanneer lewensvaardighede-onderrig gelnisieer word, word baie tyd en hulpbronne gekanaliseer in die opleiding van onderwysers, asook in die promovering, verspreiding en implementering van sodanige onderwys. Vir lewensvaardighede-onderrig om effektief te
wees en relevant te bly, moet navorsing 'n integrale dee! van die hele prose vorm.
Hierdie studie is gerig op die "Life Skills Train the Trainer Programme". Die doe! was om
vas te stel tot watter mate hierdie program bydra tot die bemagtiging van onderwysers in
die onderrig van lewensvaardighede.
Die bevinding was dat alhoewel erkenning gegee word aan die belangrikheid van lewensvaardighede-onderrig, daar tog struikelblokke is wat effektiewe implementering in
skole kan belemmer Hierdie struikelblokke moet aangespreek word. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

Talking sticks and BMW's: ritual, power and authority in a psychotherapy training placementJansen, Shahieda 01 January 2002 (has links)
This study explores trainees' experiences of power dynamics within a
ritualised training context, with reference to the three major aspects of the study:
training, ritual and power. The psychotherapeutic training took place at Agape, a
community-based counselling service in Mamelodi, whose theoretical approach to
training included a mixture of postmodern, ecosystemic and African traditions. A
substantial literature survey examines the major concepts and issues related to the
research subject, such as psychotherapeutic training approaches, the philosophies and
theories that may inform training procedures, ritual practices in psychotherapy, and
organisational and power aspects of psychotherapeutic training. The research process
was executed using the qualitative, interpretive research methodology. A sample of
six of the trainees who had completed their training at this placement was
interviewed, and two of the trainers. The researcher's reflections on her own training
experiences are woven into the material. Using the interview technique and through
asking a series of open-ended questions, the researcher obtained an account of the
subjective, sacralised training interactions at Agape. Themes were identified that had
emerged during the interview process. In brief, the themes referred to trainees'
theoretical and practical experiences in the training placement, how they made sense
of the sacralised therapeutic experiences, and comments on their relationship with
trainers and fellow trainees. The most common theme that emerged was that of
power. The end product of this study portrays the trainees' understandings of power
within a sacralised psychotherapeutic context and their responses to this. This study
makes explicit the links between ritualisation and power within an evaluative
psychotherapeutic training context, and the consequences of this for training. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Experienced stressors by Educators in Public High Schools of Malamulele, Vhembe DistrictNkuna, Clothilda Tsakani 18 September 2017 (has links)
MPH / Department of Public Health / Introduction: It has been noted that stress is considered a major global health challenge. This
is because it affects the well-being of service providers, especially those working in the human
service sector, such as educators. The sources of stress are attributed to social factors,
discipline of students, occupational pressures and workload. Studies have shown that stress is
a silent killer that affects the health and productivity of educators, leading to mental, physical,
emotional and behavioral illnesses. Educators in the Malamulele North East Circuit are
confronted with work challenges and continue experiencing stress.
Purpose: The study aimed at finding out the experienced stressors by educators in public high
schools of Malamulele North East circuit, Vhembe District.
Method: The study was conducted in Malamulele North East public high schools. Malamulele
North East is situated in Vhembe District, Limpopo Province, South Africa. A qualitative
approach using explorative and descriptive design was adopted for the study. A sample of
twelve educators was chosen from the target population by means of convenience sampling
and data was collected through a face to face individual in-depth interview. Interviews and
discussions were audio-recorded, transcribed and coded into larger themes, categories and
sub-categories.
Results: The following themes were derived from data analysis: factors considered to be
sources of stress, perceived effects of stress among high school educators, strategies that
educators use to cope with stress and strategies to manage the experiences of stress for
educators. The study showed that different factors at schools have a great impact on educators.
All the educators were affected by stressors in their work daily and adopted some coping
strategies. However, these educators required continued intervention to manage the stress.
Conclusions: The findings showed that all educators were experiencing stress in their work
environment and were affected personally as well as professionally. Hence, the DOE needs to
design strategies for continues support in order to manage the stress.
