TITLE: Specification of the care for climate at the 3th grade of the primary school SUMMARY: The objective of this diploma work was to research whether alternating of three and more teachers might have a negative impact on the classroom climate. The theoretical part provides a definition of personality characteristics of pupils in the third grade of primary school with respect to the management of classroom climate. I analyse the factors influencing the classroom climate such as family influence, pupils' groups and particularly personalities of teachers, their management and organisationof teaching, further their communication style, evaluation and cooperation among teachers. The practical part focuses on the research of the classroom climate using the method My Class Inventory (MCI). Another applied method is interviewing class teachers. The practical part is completed with a questionnaire filled out by pupils. The results of the research confirmed the change of the classroom climate in the third grade where three and more teachers alternate. These changes are manifested especially by more frictions and higher competitiveness. KEY WORDS: classroom climate, teacher's personality, pupil's social development in the third grade, group of peers, socialization, class rules, cooperation among teachers

The final thesis deals with the form and function of an educational game to be used in the 4th and 5th grades of primary school. It will deal with appropriate educational games for these pupils based on their emotional, intellectual and social development. Additionally, it will describe the method for how to categorize different kinds of educational games and how to include them in educational process. In the practical component, there is a comparison of opinions about an educational game between newly qualified and experienced teachers. The opinions of pupils and their evaluation of the specific games are also included. It includes a file of educational games as well which is based on a classification from the theoretical part.

The aim of this study is to explore the assets that are available in the context of the school of industries that will promote the youth at risk’s psycho-social development using the asset based approach. The researcher followed a qualitative research approach guided by an interpretivist epistemology and employed a case study design in the natural environment. Multiple data collection methods (interviews, focus groups and documentation) were used in order to gain rich descriptions of the participants’ perceptions of assets available for the enhancement of the adolescent’s psycho-social development. Results indicate that many assets for example, human as well as physical resources, structures and procedures are currently used and can be effectively mobilized in the future at schools of industries to promote the development of the adolescent on personal, social and moral levels. Placement at a school of industries is beneficial to the youth at risk because he can continue his schooling and therapeutic counseling is available which will empower him to successfully return to the community. Dysfunctions in the system involved with the placement of youth at risk at schools of industries are currently preventing the use of the school of industries, involved in this research, as a community asset for the child- and youth care system.

Montréal est une Métropole où des populations de toutes origines, de tous niveaux de vie et d’éducation cohabitent. En tant qu’acteur de santé publique notre objectif est de faire en sorte que chacun ait droit à l’égalité des chances aussi bien sociales que sanitaires. Dans la Métropole, il est possible d’observer des inégalités dans différents domaines, tels : l’éducation, le travail, le logement, l’alimentation et bien d’autres encore. Ce mémoire est une étude de Cas portant sur le plaidoyer de la Coalition Montréalaise des Tables de Quartier (CMTQ) entre le 1er janvier 2011 et le 1er juin 2016 en faveur de la lutte contre la pauvreté et l’exclusion sociale et ayant pour but d’explorer comment est exercé cedit plaidoyer par les acteurs de la CMTQ. La CMTQ qui est un Organisme à But Non Lucratif (OBNL) positionne la population au centre de ses préoccupations, milite de sorte que Montréal soit une métropole juste et égalitaire et place la pauvreté et l’exclusion sociale dans ces objectifs sur lesquels il est important d’agir pour le bien-être de la communauté. L’Initiative Montréalaise de Soutien au Développement social local (IM) qui est un programme de la Direction de Santé Publique (DSP), de Centraide du Grand Montréal et de la CMTQ, permet d’offrir un soutien financier à des institutions telles que les Tables de concertation locales dans le but d’améliorer la qualité et les conditions de vie des Montréalais. La CMTQ agit en partenariat avec les tables de quartier en travaillant sur des enjeux soulevés par le développement social local, l’amélioration de la qualité et des conditions de vie des citoyens et la lutte contre la pauvreté et l’exclusion sociale. Cette étude a utilisé des données majoritairement qualitatives issues d’analyses de contenus d’entretiens semi-dirigés, de prises de position, de mémoires, d’apparitions dans les médias traditionnels (La Presse) ainsi qu’une analyse de contenus quantitatifs des réseaux sociaux, plus particulièrement Twitter. Les résultats de cette recherche ont permis d’identifier les porte-parole de la CMTQ sur la place publique et mettent en lumière les stratégies et les moyens utilisés par la CMTQ pour exercer leur plaidoyer ainsi que les messages contenus dans ces stratégies et la façon dont les acteurs s’y prennent. / Montreal is a metropolis where people of all origins, socio-economic background and education live. As public health advocates, our goal is to ensure that each person is afforded equal rights to both social opportunities and the benefits which make for a healthy life. In Montreal, it is possible to observe inequalities in areas such as education, work, housing, and food security, amongst many others. This thesis is a case study of CMTQ’s advocacy methods between january 1st 2011 and june 1st 2016 as well as their approach to fighting poverty and social exclusion (in the public debate). In addition this thesis will specifically explores how CMTQ activists apply their methods of advocacy in order to eliminate poverty and social exclusion. The Montreal Coalition of Neighborhood Round Tables (CMTQ) is a Non-Profit Organization (NPO) that places the population at the center of its campaigns and works to ensure that Montreal is a fair and egalitarian city that prioritizes issues of poverty and social exclusion. The Montreal Initiative of Support for Local Social Development (IM), a program of the Montreal Public Health Department (DSP), the Centraide of Greater Montreal and of the CMTQ, provides financial support to institutions such as local round tables with the purpose of improving the quality and living conditions of Montrealers. The CMTQ works in partnership with neighbourhood councils by working on issues raised by local social development and also by working on ways to eradicate poverty and social exclusion in order to better the quality and living conditions of citizens. This study uses primarily qualitative data derived from the analysis of semi-structured interviews, the examination of official positions held by the organizations, thesis publications and discussions in traditional media (The Press), as well as a quantitative content analysis found on social medias especially Twitter. The results of this research permitted the identification of the CMTQ’s advocates and also shed light on the strategies and tools used by the CMTQ as well as the contents of theses strategies and message and the way activists apply these tools.

Magister Economicae - MEcon / The research study investigated the potential impact that organisational capacity assessments can have on the long-term sustainability of non-profit organisations (NPOs). The researcher employed longitudinal research design as the main instrument in the collection of data. Data was collected from four local non-profit organisations in the Cullinan and Bronkhorstspruit areas of South Africa. These organisations were evaluated by means of a questionnaire, which was developed by the researcher. NPOs can only play a pivotal role in community and social services if management, leadership, governance and other elements of organisational capacity are well developed and continuously strengthened. This is critical for attracting local and international donors who provide crucial running costs and relieve national, provincial and local government departments of the financial burden. Currently, the South African government supports NPOs in South Africa. The legislative and registration aspects of NPOs are regulated by the NPO Act (Act 71 of 1997) and the Income Tax Act (Act 58 of 1962). The State of South African Registered NPOs Report 2010/2011 indicated a growth of the number of registrations to have increased by 8.3%. However, in the same financial year a total number of 468 NPOs were deregistered; 98% of these lost their registration due to non-compliance of regulatory requirements. According to the State of South African Registered NPOs Report (2016) the total number of applications received for the financial year was 16 726 (53.7%), however 4 421 (46%) did not meet the requirements of sections 12-13 of the NPO Act, an issue that would definitely affect the existence of non-compliant institutions.

This diploma thesis deals with theme of a work of a novice drama teacher at the beginning of school attendance. Specially in the first mid-term of the first class. The theoretical part is a vocational knowledge file which is the practical part based on. The thesis allows a deep view into the drama education. It will help us to learn about a child in the start of schooling and also the aims of the early education of the first mid-term. It also defines the drama education and its principles, goals and forms. The thesis describes an inclusion of drama education in FEP (for Elementary Education) and the ideal properties of a drama education teacher. It deals with an idea of dramatic game, system of the preparatory games and exercises. It does not only introduce methods and techniques of drama education, but it also helps us to create and plan the lessons, often with a use of literary basis. Practical part is based on an assumption or editing of ten lessons of drama education taught by a novice teacher. The lessons aim to develop friendly climate in a class, cooperation support, child social development and teaching of drama education with basic techniques. Other components of the practical part are reflections of lessons describing the progress of the pupils. This is also described by a survey from...

The aim of the work is to improve the quality of teaching. The work points to the possibility of using action teacher research in an effort to implement innovations in the field of teaching methods for younger school age students and at the same time the development of their own professional competencies. It justifies the contribution of activating experiential and reflective methods for pupils in integrating the goals of the curriculum in the field of social science topics and the goals of personal and social education. The theoretical part maps the professional background of closely related topics such as teacher professional competencies, development of primary school teachers, innovative teaching methods, personality concepts, activation methods, experiential learning, experiential pedagogy, action teacher research, reflection and self-reflection. It also maps the background for experiential and reflective methods with support on the Framework Educational Program for Basic Education. The practical part describes the whole action teacher research. It captures in two ways the self- reflective characteristics of a teacher at the beginning of action teacher research, previous experience with the researcher's experiential and reflective methods, and a scheme of action teacher action research....

Det finns idag ett underhållsbehov i en stor andel av de flerbostadshus som kvartstår från det Svenska miljonprogrammet. Många allmännyttiga kommunala bostadsbolag har påbörjat stora och kostsamma investeringar inom delar av deras miljonprogramsbestånd. Omfattningen på investeringarna varierar mellan bolagen och det råder oklarhet kring vad som kan anses leda till långsiktig lönsamhet. En stor andel av dessa områden innehar en social utsatthet och marginalisering hos delar av befolkningen. Investeringarna bedöms därför också kunna påverka samhällsutvecklingen i en positiv riktning inom dessa områden. Detta examensarbete har som syfte att genom en fallstudie över det allmännyttiga kommunala bostadsbolaget Svenska Bostäder AB:s pågående upprustningsprogram inom miljonprogramsområdena kring Järvafältet i Stockholm utvärdera om dessa investeringar kan anses vara lönsamma. På grund av den sedan 2011 nya lagstiftningen gällande allmännyttiga kommunala bostadsbolag råder det viss oklarhet kring i vilken omfattning samhällsekonomiska investeringar kan motiveras inom ramen för ett allmännyttigt bolag. Analysen särskiljer därför lönsamhet på fastighets- och samhällsnivå. Maximalt utrymme för fastighetsekonomiskt lönsam investering bedöms utgöras av skillnaden i fastighetsvärde före och efter att investering har genomförts. Effekter på samhället av ökad sysselsättning och minskad kriminalitet beräknas i en investeringskalkyl och nuvärdet adderas till den fastighetsekonomiska lönsamheten med jämförelse på lägenhetsnivå. Resultatet visar på att investeringarna inte är lönsamma för samhället enligt den metod som används, däremot bedöms en längre kalkylperiod samt inkluderade av ytterligare variabler kunna medföra lönsamhet på samhällsnivå. Vidare konstateras att Svenska Bostäder erhåller sämre lönsamhet än privata bolag för liknande standardhöjningar i bostaden, vilket kan ha en effekt på den långsiktiga värdeutvecklingen i beståndet. Trots att analysen ej påvisar lönsamhet i dessa investeringar dras ändå slutsatsen att det finns potential för en förbättring av metoden för hur renoveringar genomförs. Det bedöms samtidigt som möjligt att sänka kostnaderna för drift och administration ytterligare. Det finns även stor potential för allmännyttiga bolag att genom sin storlek som beställare och genom samordning med andra fastighetsägare bidra till en positiv social utveckling av dessa områden och i förlängningen en stor ekonomisk vinst för samhället. / A large share of the existing multi-family housing units built during the Swedish million homes programme includes a major amount of neglected maintenance. Several municipal housing companies have initiated large and costly investments within their stock of million program units. The extent of which kind of measures that is undertaken by each company varies and it is uncertain if the measures are profitable in the long term. A large share of residents within these areas undergoes marginalization as a result of heavily developed segregation. Investments are therefore estimated to not only affect real estate companies but also provide an opportunity to change the development of the society within these areas. This paper aims to evaluate profitability of these investments through a case study of the municipal housing company Svenska Bostäder AB and its renovation program of socially exposed housing areas within the northern parts of Stockholm. Since 2011 it is however unclear if social investments within the area can be justified by municipal housing companies due to a legislative change. The analysis differentiates profitability on single property level from profitability on municipal level. The method, which is used on single property level, is based on valuation of the real estate asset before and after renovation. Maximum level of investment on single property level which could be seen as profitable comprises of the difference in value of the asset before and after renovation. Effects on the society from increased employment, reduced criminality is estimated through a cash flow analysis and the present values of reduced costs are added to the existing analysis on property level. The result shows that the investments are not profitable for the society according to the method that has been used. However, an extension of the cash flow period and addition of extra variables could lead to profitability. Further, it is stated that Svenska Bostäder AB obtains lower net operating income compared to private real estate companies for similar quality improvements within their renovations; this could affect the value of the real estate asset in a longer run. Despite the fact that the analysis do not show any proof of profitability from these investments, the conclusion that there is room for potential improvements in how these renovations are executed could still be drawn. It should also be possible to lower the costs of operation and administration further. The municipal housing companies also have a great potential to contribute to further progress of social wealth fare within these areas through their size as clients and through coordination with other real estate companies.

This diploma thesis investigates international volunteering in the context of professional, personal and social development of young volunteers. In the theoretical part, definition, history, forms and subjects involved are presented, together with the impacts and ethical questions related to the field. Next, the professional, personal and social development is defined and international volunteering is put in light as a source of important skills. The empirical part is concerned with one specific form of international volunteering - workcamps. Firstly, organisation INEX-SDA, which sends hundreds of youngsters to workcamps each year, is introduced. Next, methodology and results of an original qualitative research focused on the role of workcamps in workcamp-participants' lifes are discussed. The results suggest that workcamps have various impacts on and connectedness with the participants' development, the professional as well as the personal and social. By some, the workcamp's impact on their life and development is perceived as subtle, while others see significant effects, workcamps had on their life and skills. Whole spectrum of skills and values that can be acquired on workcamps is revealed and described in relation to career and personal life. Key words international volunteering, international...
