Previous issue date: 2016 / Esta pesquisa visa conhecer a História do Ensino Militar Naval no Ceará, com ênfase na criação da Escola de Aprendizes Marinheiros do Ceará, entre 1864 a 1889 e sua contribuição para a sociedade cearense. Nosso campo de análise a inseriu dentro do campo das Instituições Escolares, especificamente, a partir discussão da história do ensino militar, articulando-a com os campos da história da social, da infância, dos métodos de ensino, dentre outros. Para conduzir essa pesquisa, utilizamos como referencial bibliográfico autores como Fernando Azevedo, Plácido Aderaldo Castelo, Primitivo Moacyr, Prado Maia, dentre vários, para sedimentar as reflexões sobre esse tema. Como metodologia, utilizamos estudos documentais junto à própria Escola de Aprendizes Marinheiro do Ceará e diversas instituições como: Biblioteca Pública Governador Menezes Pimentel, Arquivo Público do Estado do Ceará, Biblioteca Nacional, Arquivo Nacional, assim como, pesquisamos nos estabelecimentos navais como: Biblioteca, Arquivo e Museu da Marinha. Como procedimentos, fizemos o cruzamento das leis da educação brasileira, dos documentos institucionais, de revistas militares navais, assim como de reportagens junto aos jornais do período. De acordo com essa pesquisa descobrimos que as Companhias de Aprendizes Marinheiros surgiram no Brasil a partir de 1840 como projeto de formação profissional, tendo como público alvo menores, órfãos e desvalidos, sob a guarda das autoridades locais - Presidentes das Províncias, Juízes de Órfãos e Delegados de Polícia. Entre os anos de 1840 e 1885, foram instaladas companhias de aprendizes marinheiros em diversas províncias brasileiras. As companhias de aprendizes marinheiros, portanto, se constituíram em estabelecimentos profissional e educacional, um quartel-escola. Concluímos que a Companhia de Aprendizes Marinheiro do Ceará, na medida em que foi se estruturando para formação profissional, moral e religiosa, e intelectual dos aprendizes, promoveu a formação para o trabalho atendo principalmente os anseios do Estado, da Instituição e da sociedade que buscavam a formação do novo homem-cidadão. De fato a pesquisa nos mostrou que a EAMCE atuou como instrumento do Estado no sentido de controle da camada popular, dando a essa ação cores próprias dentro de um processo de militarização que se efetivou durante o Segundo Reinado.

Body perceptions of black female high school learnersNaku, Bulelwa January 2004 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Education))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2004 / The majority of studies that have examined the prevalence of eating disorders have sampled women from western societies. Theoretical models have emphasised Western socio-cultural factors as central in the development of eating disorders. Consequently, eating disorders have been conceptualised as disorders from Western industrialised countries where white women experience social pressures toward thinness. Within these societies, white women are believed to be at risk of developing eating disorders, while black women are not exposed to the same social pressure regarding weight. In the literature, it has been argued that African women are 'protected" from developing eating disorders because traditionally a fuller figure has been more acceptable. However, findings from recent studies are beginning to reveal a considerable degree of body perception dissatisfaction among black women, indicating that this debate is far from settled. In the African-American culture, in terms of body perceptions, people are not expected to be all built to look alike. A full, yet healthy body has represented strength, power and prosperity in the African culture throughout history. However, the thin ideal for women seems to be spreading across all ethnic groups. Incorrect body perceptions, dissatisfaction with one's body's appearance and a drive to be thin can lead to erratic eating patterns such as self-starvation and purging, which in turn can result in eating disorders such as Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa. In view of the above, this study investigated body perceptions among black female high school learners in the Cape Metropole. The participants were 702 girls between 13 and 19 years old in ex DET high schools in grades 8 to 11. The study attempted to determine participants' body weight dissatisfaction; whether they perceived themselves as overweight, underweight or of normal weight; and whether they expressed influence by the media, as well as family and peers, on their body perceptions. The sample was divided into two age groups, namely a younger group of 13 - 15 years and an older group of 16 - 19 years. The chi-square test was used to test the statistical significance of the data. The results revealed a statistically significant difference between the younger age group (13-15 years) and the older age group (16-19 years) regarding body weight dissatisfaction and body weight perceptions. Furthermore, the expressed influence by the media and family/peers also show statistically significant results.

Administration of the adjusted Rorschach comrehensive system to learners in a previously disadvantaged school in the western CapeRobert, Makuna Kananga M. January 2013 (has links)
Magister Educationis - MEd / The study focuses on the administration procedure of Adjusted Rorschach Comprehensive
System (ARCS) to learners from a previously disadvantaged school in the Western Cape. ARCS
is the Rorschach administration procedure developed by Moletsane-Kekae (2004) in her research
study. The aim of the study was to determine the response rate of learners from a previously
disadvantaged school when they were exposed to the Adjusted Rorschach Comprehensive
System (ARCS). The objectives are to determine the possible factors that can lead to high and
low response rate when administering Adjusted Rorschach Comprehensive System (ARCS). The
main assumption that guides the study was that the responses of the administration of Adjusted
Rorschach Comprehensive System (ARCS) to the learners from a previously disadvantaged
school in the Western Cape would yield more than 14 responses (R>14). The study adopted a
qualitative approach, case study design, interpretivist paradigm. The Rorschach test, ARCS
procedure, observation, interview, and Field notes were used as data collection techniques. The
sample was made of six learners (3 girls and 3 boys) in Year 1 selected from a previously
disadvantaged school in Cape Town. In order to analyze the data, the thematic analysis and
interpretation procedures were used. The results revealed that the majority of the learners gave
high responses, because the ARCS accommodated their cultures, believe and backgrounds. This
study found out that language, seating arrangement, strategies using during the ARCS procedure
were the factors that influenced the higher response rate. Furthermore, the study also found that
the lack of previous exposure and experience of the psychological test was a factor that can lead
to low response.

Experiences of blind high-school learners regarding computer useGrobler, Gert H. January 2014 (has links)
The visually impaired community forms a small but integral part of South Africa with the
potential to contribute meaningfully to its infrastructure and society, yet blind learners still seem
to struggle with computer use. There are various barriers that stand between blind learners and
computer access. In this study, I explore the experiences of blind high-school learners (n=4)
with regards to computer use. A qualitative case study was applied as research design at a
high-school for the visually impaired. Data sources included semi-structured interviews and
focus-group discussions, which were audio-recorded and transcribed. Observation-in-thecontext
was documented in research diaries and field notes. Following thematic analysis, the
following themes emerged: value of computer use for blind users; barriers related to blind
computer use; and future solutions and possibilities of blind computer use. Insights may inform
future conceptualisation and implementation of computer use amongst blind high school
learners. / Mini-dissertation (MEd)--University of Pretoria, 2014. / tm2015 / Educational Psychology / MEd / Unrestricted

A study of the leadership approaches of principals heading National Strategy Learner Attainment (NSLA) schools in the metro central education district in the Western Cape provinceCornelissen, Rudolph Peter January 2020 (has links)
Doctor Educationis / This thesis investigated the leadership approach associated with sustained improved academic performance of principals heading National Strategy for Learner Attainment (NSLA) schools. The research problem addressed the leadership practices and personality traits that characterised the leadership approaches of principals heading high schools which have achieved long-term academic improvement amongst the schools undergoing the NSLA interventions. The main research question was: What leadership practices and personality traits characterised the leadership approaches of principals heading schools who have achieved long-term academic improvement amongst the schools undergoing the NSLA interventions? Thereafter, four subsidiary research questions guided this research. Firstly, what were the leadership practices of principals in selected successful NSL schools? Secondly, what personality traits characterised these principals? Thirdly, what learning and teaching challenges did principals heading these schools face? Lastly, how did these principals address the learning and teaching challenges in these schools?
The literature and past research supported and provided information that leadership at schools plays a pivotal role for teaching and learning to be successful. However, the literature does not prescribe a specific leadership approach, but recommended a contingency leadership approach.
The contingency leadership approach was used as the theoretical framework for this study. This approach recognises that there is no single preferred style of leadership and that the situational context must be taken into account for leadership to be effective.
The study was guided by the qualitative methodological paradigm which is embedded in the interpretivist approach in order to develop rich and in-depth descriptions and meaning, feelings and experiences gathered from respondents. The case study as a qualitative research design was used to collect, analyse and interpret data from principals, teachers and selected members of the School Management Team (SMT). The population comprised of fifteen high schools in the Metro Central Education District, Cape Town that underwent the NSLA intervention. However, the investigation took place at five schools in the Metro Central Education District and participants remained part of this initiative for more than three consecutive years. These schools are resident in a wide area on the Cape Flats. All principals at the time, were permanently appointed.
Two research instruments were used. A questionnaire to collect data about the leadership of principals was completed by post level one teachers. This questionnaire covered three areas, the biometric information of the respondent, the leadership behaviour of the principal and the leadership approach promoting teaching and learning. A semi-structured interview was done with the principal and selected members of the Schools Management Team (SMT). Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the questionnaire. To analyse the semi-structured interviews, categories and themes were used to maximise the information collected. Through qualitative research the researcher was able to develop rich and in-depth descriptions of meaning, feelings and experiences through analysis.
The study concluded that to achieve long-term academic improvement amongst NSLA schools an integrated leadership approach for principals is recommended. This approach encapsulates the various leadership approaches and the leadership personality traits or characteristics of the principals as well as taking into account the situational context for effective leadership and decision-making.
Limitations in respect of this research were enumerated. Finally, recommendations based on the conclusions were highlighted including recommendations for further investigation.

HIV/AIDS knowledge and sexual behaviour among school learners in Harare, ZimbabweMlingo, Margaret 11 1900 (has links)
This study describes the HIV/AIDS knowledge of Form 1 secondary school learners in Harare. Structured interviews were conducted with 75 learners from four schools representing a low density, a high density, a rural and a private school.
Most learners had obtained their HIVAIDS knowledge from schools and a few did so from their parents. None of the learners had reportedly yet engaged in sexual activities and all had heard about HIV, but not all knew what HIV was, and even fewer could define AIDS. Generally the learners’ HIV/AIDS knowledge levels were high but some misconceptions persisted.
Future programmes should emphasise that there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, and that condoms should be used at every sexual encounter. Radio, television and school programmes should emphasise that every person can become infected with HIV/AIDS, if preventive measures are disregarded. / Public Health / M.A. (Public Health)

Factors influencing the academic performance of underachieving learners in secondary schools with an inhibitive learning climateOgunbanjo, P. E. 11 1900 (has links)
Underachievement is a perennial problem in many secondary schools in South
Africa. One of the reasons for this state of affairs, is the inhibitive learning climate in
such schools. This study attempts to determine the extent and causes of the problem
and to develop guidelines for parents, teachers, learners and school management
teams to resolve some of the issues that cause the problem.
This is a qualitative study using focus group and individual interviews. The main
findings contributing to underachievement among learners, include lack of parental
guidance and supervision, negative attitudes of teachers towards learners, inflexible
teaching methods, overcrowded classrooms, lack of resources and facilities in
schools, lukewarm attitude of learners towards their work and the absence of positive
role models in communities.
The findings highlight important factors, which contribute to underachievement
among learners in an inhibitive learning climate. The recommendations are an attempt towards solving this important issue. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Special Needs Education)
