Nonattendance, behavior problems and social disjuncture of young people shows that pupils have problems: such as the feeling of low self-assessment, lack of self confidence. Economical, social conditions, lack of activities cause different kinds of addiction, breaches of the law, offences among the teenagers. Thus, seeking to see the peculiarities of behavior and self-assessment of pupils who don‘t attend school, it is necessary to perform the detailed objective study by ascertaining which actions define different solutions of problems. The study aim object - 5-10 grade secondary school children not attending school. The aim - to analyse the peculiarities of behaviour and self-assessment of children having school attendancy problems. The main goals: 1. To analyse the teenagers‘not attending school, behavior and self assessment problems, on the basis of scientific-pedagogical, psychological literature. 2. To analyse the attitude of teenagers having school attendancy problems towards themselves, relationship with teachers, parents and contemporaries. 3. To reveal the attitude of pupils, having school attendancy problems towards learning. 4. To prepare recommendations for school administrators and tearchers. Theoretical, empirical and mathematical statistic methods were used. Target group: 302 5-10 grade students’ pupils, having attendancy problems from cities, small towns and villages of Lithuania and 302 tutors. Conclusions: The study show, that: • a quarter of students... [to full text]

<p>Broad access to healthcare services is a key factor of human development in any country. The current health care situation in South Africa can be diagnosed as critical. The hospitals are understaffed, over-occupied and the diseases like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) give health care workers additional challenges. The demand for management skills in the health sector including those for nurse managers is high. A recent World Health Organization (WHO) study of nurses working in maternal health services identified good management as more important than salary, unless the remuneration was dramatically higher. In South Africa, little empirical research exists about the management skills of nurse managers, even though proper management of human resources is vital to achieve better outcomes and access to health care around the world. In South Africa, a greater focus on human resource management in health care and more research is needed to develop new policies that will help to address the skills gap of nurse managers. The object of this research project was to identify the gaps between required and existing management skills of senior nurse managers in South Africa in private and public hospitals. Once identified, this skills gap assessment can be used by employers and policy-makers to define the management education that nurse managers require. The research is based on a survey of nurse managers in private and public hospitals using a questionnaire. The survey instrument was based on prior research of hospital managers&rsquo / competencies in South Africa, and a review of the related theoretical literature.</p>

Emotions have become an important research topic in both the behavioural sciences and advertising. Nowadays, emotions are acknowledged as an important mediator of cognitive and behavioural consumer responses to advertising. Consequently, researchers in marketing and advertising have emphasised the need to consider emotions as a crucial factor in the advertising process. To test the viability of this assumption, an empirical research study was conducted at the Behavioural and Communication Research Division of the Bureau of Market Research (BMR). More specifically, the research study used a three–dimensional approach to measure generational differences in consumers’ emotional response to television advertisements. To capture immediate, positive and negative emotive responses towards a pre–selected test advertisement, the study used three research instruments, namely AdSAM, PrEmo (both non–verbal measurement instruments) and the List of Emotions (LoE) (verbal measurement instrument). Gauteng consumers (n = 102) who view television participated in the study, which revealed that ageing appears to be a significant antecedent in measuring emotive response to advertisements. In this regard, the study showed, among others, that Baby Boomers (older generation) were inclined to react to the advertisement in a different manner than younger generations (Millennials and Xers). For example, Baby Boomers found it easier to acknowledge higher levels of engagement with the test advertisement, as was noted in the high Arousal ratings. No significant differences were, however, evident between generations on the Pleasure dimension as all generations seem to have felt positively towards the test advertisement. Furthermore, although all generations felt positive emotive reactions when viewing the test advertisement, Millennials feel more Comfortable, whereas the Xers and Baby Boomers feel stronger Warmed emotions. Overall, older people tend to purposefully seek to experience positive emotions and avoid or limit negative emotions. In summary, both non–verbal and verbal measures reflected generational differences that seem to be more apparent when analysing negative emotions. The study also revealed that the AdSAM instrument appears to be advantageous when measuring emotions in television advertising due to its non–verbal properties. However, greater generational differences seem to be evident when emotions are measured with a verbal rather than non–verbal instrument. Against this background, certain recommendations for future research were made, amongst others, the need for further research on emotive reaction to television advertisements and the need for innovative research models that are customised for the diverse South African consumer market. / Thesis (M.A. (Research Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The enactment of the new Constitution of South Africa, 1996, gave prominence to the trans-formation of local government in South Africa. Rooted in the Constitution, the Municipal Systems Act, 2000, and the Municipal Structures Act, 1998, guide municipalities towards establishing structured performance management practices. As part of a comprehensive legislative framework for local government, these acts moreover state the functions of mu-nicipalities that include the delivery of basic municipal services. These services include amongst other, water provision, refuse removal, sanitation, electricity provision, municipal roads as well as stormwater management. Despite a range of statutory provisions, policy instruments and capacity improvement initiatives with a view to provide a democratic, participative, responsive, effective and efficient local sphere of government, South African municipalities, in general, continue to fail in eradicating service delivery backlogs. This is, at least partially, the result of the policies and practices of the apartheid era. Apart from eradicating backlogs, non-sustaining service delivery to communities has become a noticeable phenomenon. As a result, in 2012 the highest number of service delivery protests over the past decade occurred. The underperformance of municipalities can be linked to insufficient organisational capacity. This multidimensional concept consists of individual, institutional and environmental capacity. This study views capacity building as a key enabler for municipal performance improvement. Relating to this, capacity assessment is the first and foremost component of capacity building. Hence, it can be assumed that a correlation exists between municipalities’ service delivery performance and the degree to which municipalities are aware of its capacity to fulfil its service delivery mandate. Municipalities are mandated by the Municipal Systems Act, 2000 to perform internal capacity assessments when a new or reviewed Integrated Development Plan (IDP) is considered, and also when outsourcing of municipal services is considered. Besides this the Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB) is mandated by the Municipal Structures Act, 1998, to perform annual municipal capacity assessments. Though criticised for its untimeliness, narrow approach and inconsistency, the MDB municipal capacity assessment generates valuable insight. This is widely used by provincial governments, municipalities and private parties for policy formulation, strategic decision-making and capacity building initiatives. This exemplifies that if accurate municipal capacity data can frequently be attained, the effects on service delivery improvement initiatives can be profound. This research study aims to make a contribution in formulating solutions for needs that currently exist in this regard in South Africa. The focus of this study is the development of both a municipal capacity assessment frame-work and a subjective municipal capacity self-assessment model (SMCSAM), a software tool built in Microsoft’s Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for engineering services at municipalities. The framework for municipal capacity assessment comprises of fifteen elements of capacity and eighteen service delivery phases. A third dimension of the framework exists in recognition of the six basic municipal services. This framework accordingly implements the matrix-method. SMCSAM implements the consolidated framework based on statements to be rated by the municipality according to their reality. SMCSAM allows the municipality to allocate weights to each of the fifteen elements of overall organisational capacity through the use of a Fuzzy Logic Hierarchical Analytical Process. Consequently, ratings of the statements are weighed and illustrated through two interactive user-interfaces which allow the municipality to instantly identify capacity strengths and weaknesses. To achieve this, assessment results are illustrated using colour-coding and related spider-diagrams. SMCSAM was implemented at Drakenstein Municipality and demonstrated to academics as well as experts in the public and private sector for validation purposes. Its results proved to be accurate and applicably related to the performance of this municipality. Through its implementation and validation, SMCSAM proved to be a valuable, understandable and practical solution to a noteworthy problem at municipalities in South Africa. In doing so, SMCSAM significantly contribute to research in the field of engineering management. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die aanvaarding van die nuwe Grondwet van Suid-Afrika, 1996 het grootliks aanleiding gegee tot die transformasie van plaaslike regering in Suid-Afrika. Munisipaliteite word deur die Wet op Munisipale Stelsels, 2000, en die Wet op Munisipale Strukture, 1998, begelei in die implementering van gestruktureerde prestasiebestuur praktyke. As deel van 'n omvattende wetgewende raamwerk, definieer hierdie twee wette ook die funksies van munisipaliteite, wat die lewering van basiese dienste insluit. Basiese dienste sluit onder andere watervoorsiening, vullisverwydering, sanitasie, elektrisiteitsvoorsiening, munisipale paaie en stormwaterbestuur in. Ten spyte van dié statutêre voorsienings, gepaardgaande beleidmaatreëls en inisiatiewe vir kapasiteitsverbetering met die doel om ʼn demokratiese, deelnemende, responsiewe, effektiewe en doeltreffende plaaslike sfeer van regering daar te stel, misluk baie munisipaliteite in Suid-Afrika in hul pogings om jarelange diensleweringsagterstande uit te wis. Hierdie agterstande is gedeeltelike die gevolg van die beleide en praktyke van die apartheidsera. Afgesien van die vertraagde uitwissing van agterstande, word munisipaliteite se onvermoë om effektiewe dienslewering aan gemeenskappe vol te hou, ook geïdentifiseer as ʼn probleemarea. As ʼn gevolg hiervan, het die jaarlikse hoeveelheid diensleweringproteste in 2012 ʼn nuwe hoogtepunt bereik. Die onvermoë van munisipaliteite om hul diensleweringsmandaat uit te voer kan grootliks toegeskryf word aan onvoldoende organisatoriese kapasiteit. Dié multidimensionele konsep bestaan uit individuele-, institusionele- en omgewingskapasiteit. Hierdie studie beskou kapasiteitsontwikkeling as ʼn fundamentele dryfkrag vir beter munisipale dienslewering, terwyl die assessering van munisipale kapasiteit die eerste en belangrikste fase van kapasiteitsontwikkeling is. Dit kan dus aanvaar word dat daar ʼn korrelasie bestaan tussen ʼn munisipaliteit se diensleweringsprestasie en die mate waartoe die munisipaliteit bewus is van sy kapasiteit om sy diensleweringsmandate na te kom. Munisipaliteite word deur die Wet op Munisipale Stelsels, 2000, verplig om ʼn interne kapasiteits-assessering te doen wanneer ʼn nuwe of hersiende Geïntegreerde Ontwikkelingsplan (GOP) oorweeg word of wanneer daar besluit moet word oor die uitkontraktering van munisipale dienslewering. Terselfdertyd word die Munisipale Afbakeningsraad (MAR) deur die Wet op Munisipale Strukture, 1998, verplig om jaarlikse munisipale kapasiteits-assesserings uit te voer. Alhoewel die MAR se munisipale kapasiteits-assessering gekritiseer word vir die ontydigheid, inkonsekwentheid en beperkte aanslag daarvan, word die resultate van hierdie assessering aangewend deur provinsiale regerings, munisipaliteite asook ander rolspelers in die publieke- en privaatsektor vir die doel om beleid te formuleer, strategiese besluite te neem en kapasiteit te bou. Dit dui daarop dat wanneer akkurate data van munisipale kapasiteit gereeld versamel word, dit grootliks dienslewering verbeteringsinisiatiewe kan aanhelp. Die studie ondersoek ʼn innoverende metode vir die selfassessering van munisipale kapasiteit. Die fokus van die studie is die ontwikkeling van ʼn gekonsolideerde munisipale kapasiteits-assesseringsraamwerk en ʼn geassosieerde subjektiewe munisipale kapasiteit selfassesseringsmodel (SMCSAM), ʼn sagtewarepakket wat geprogrammeer is in Microsoft se Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Die raamwerk bestaan uit vyftien elemente van kapasiteit en agtien diensleweringsfases. ʼn Derde dimensie van die raamwerk bestaan in die erkenning van die voorgenoemde ses basiese dienste. Hierdie raamwerk implementeer die matriksmetode dienooreenkomstig. SMCSAM implementeer die gekonsolideerde raamwerk gebaseer op stellings wat gegradeer moet word deur munisipaliteite binne die konteks van hul eie realiteit. SMCSAM laat munisipaliteite toe om gewigte te koppel aan elkeen van die vyftien elemente van kapasiteit deur middel van ʼn Fuzzy Logic Hiërargiese Ontledingsproses. Dit gebruik twee interaktiewe gebruikerskoppelvlakke wat munisipaliteite toelaat om vinnig die sterk- en swakpunte van hul organisatoriese kapasiteit te identifiseer. Hierdie resultate word aangedui deur middel van grafieke en kleur-kodering. SMCSAM is getoets by die Drakenstein Munisipaliteit en gedemonstreer aan akademici en deskundiges in die privaat en publieke sektor. Die resultate van die assessering dui op ʼn realistiese verwantskap tussen die munisipaliteit se organisatoriese kapasiteit en diensleweringsprestasie. Deur die implementering en validasie van SMCSAM, is dit bewys dat dié model ʼn waardevolle, verstaanbare en ʼn praktiese oplossing bied vir ʼn werklike probleem by munisipaliteite in Suid-Afrika. Sodoende, maak die model ʼn betekenisvolle bydra tot die navorsingsveld van ingenieursbestuur.

O Ensino Médio é uma etapa essencial para a preparação ao trabalho e à cidadania e, pelo seu processo de universalização e crescente importância, as escolas destinadas a essa etapa têm sido questionadas a respeito da sua qualidade. Com o intuito de incrementar a qualidade do ensino oferecido, o Governo Federal, dentre outras iniciativas, tem investido e incentivado o uso dos resultados da avaliação. Considerando e refletindo sobre esta conjuntura, a pesquisa traça o perfil e as problematizações feitas pelas comunidades escolares públicas do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul com aproveitamentos extremos no Exame Nacional de Ensino Médio (ENEM). Para isso, as instituições foram divididas em dois grupos polares, o Alfa e o Beta, de acordo com o desempenho no ENEM 2012 e, por meio das informações existentes no Censo Escolar em 2010, 2011 e 2012, no ENEM em 2012 e 2013 e no Sistema Estadual de Avaliação Participativa (SEAP) em 2012 e 2013. O estudo procurou aspectos que unificassem ou distanciassem as instituições, de acordo com o aproveitamento na larga escala. O objetivo foi buscar relações entre os resultados da prova, com os do Censo Escolar e os do SEAP, para, desta maneira, compreender como as comunidades escolares se diferenciam além do aproveitamento no Exame (PORTELA et. al., 2012; CURY 2008b). Com esse intuito, foram exploradas as base quantitativas das diferentes fontes e elementos qualitativos oriundos das justificativas do SEAP. A fim de refletir sobre a avaliação e seus resultados, a pesquisa apresenta conceitos que conotam os significados à avaliação, tais como: o Estado e a globalização (SANTOS, 2008; CASTELLANI, SARRO, 2011; DALE, GANDIN, 2014); a peculiaridade do caso brasileiro (CASTRO, RIBEIRO, 2009; FAGNANI, 2011); a avaliação em políticas públicas (FARIA, 2005); a discussão do Ensino Médio como promotor da cidadania por meio da aprendizagem (CURY, 2008a) e parte do sistema de ensino (SAVIANI, 2008); as avaliações como instrumentos das comunidades escolares (SORDI; LUDKE, 2009), como instrumento para a accountability dessas comunidades (MACHADO, 2009) que possibilitem o empoderamento na sua forma intransitiva (GOHN, 2004). A reflexão sobre as políticas e seus resultados apresentou – como resultados da pesquisa – instituições que se diferenciam, pelos aproveitamentos distintos no ENEM (devido ao recorte da pesquisa), mas também pelo perfil socioeconômico dos alunos e formação dos professores; destaca a importância da formação adequada dos professores, mas a carência em escolas com menores indicadores socioeconômicos; comparando os grupos, também foi possível verificar que a infraestrutura das instituições se assemelha, independentemente do desempenho acadêmico dos estudantes, assim como as pontuações atribuídas na autoavaliação. A pesquisa aponta à necessidade de mais discussão sobre as competências e habilidades exigidas pelo Enem e sobre as responsabilidades das instituições escolares nas finalidades propostas na Lei de Diretrizes e Base (LDB), mediante a garantia de condições de qualidade para a aprendizagem e de políticas de combate à desigualdade social; destarte, sobre a importância da problematização da política de avaliação articulada à formação de professores e gestão escolar na construção do Sistema Nacional de Educação. / The high school is a key step in preparation for work and citizenship. In order to improve the quality of education offered, it has invested and encouraged the use of evaluations results. Considering and reflecting on this situation, the research traces the profile and issues made by the public school communities of Rio Grande do Sul with extreme averages in the high-stake evaluation, Exame Nacional de Ensino Médio (ENEM). The schools were divided into two polar groups, Alpha and Beta, according to performance ENEM 2012. Through the information in the School Census in 2010, 2011 and 2012, in ENEM in 2012 and 2013 and in the self-assessment of the institution, Sistema Estadual de Avaliação Participativa (SEAP) in 2012 and 2013, the study looked for aspects that unify or distance institutions, according to their average on a large scale. To seek relations between the test results, with the School Census and the SEAP, for in this way understand how school communities differ beyond the ENEM average (PORTELA et. al., 2012; CURY 2008b). The research explored the quantitative bases from different sources and qualitative elements coming from the SEAP's justifications. As a result, it was found that institutions are different in socioeconomic profile of the students and adequate teachers education; the research highlights the lack of adequate teachers education in schools with lower socioeconomic indicators; comparing groups, it was also possible to verify that the infrastructure of institutions are similar, regardless of students performance, as well as the scores given in the self-assessment. In order to reflect on the assessment and its results, the work presents concepts that connote the evaluation of meanings, such as: the state and globalization (SANTOS, 2008; CASTELLANI, SARRO, 2011; DALE, GANDIN, 2014); the singularity of the brazilian case (CASTRO, RIBEIRO, 2009; FAGNANI, 2011); the public policy evaluating (Faria, 2005); the high school discussion as promoter of citizenship (CURY, 2008a) and part of the education system (Saviani, 2008); the evaluations as instruments of school communities (SORDI; LUDKE, 2009), as a tool for communities accountability (MACHADO, 2009) to enable the empowerment in its intransitive form (GOHN, 2004). The research points to the need for more discussion on the skills and abilities required by ENEM and on the responsibilities of educational institutions in the proposals purposes in the legislation, Lei de Diretrizes e Bases (LDB), by ensuring quality conditions for learning and policy combating social inequality; thus, on the importance of questioning the articulated evaluation policy to management in the construction of the National Educational System. / La secundaria es un momento fundamental para la preparación al trabajo y la ciudadanía y, por su proceso de universalización y gran importancia, las escuelas designadas a esta etapa son, a menudo, cuestionadas respecto su calidad. Con el intuito de mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza ofertada, mucho se ha invertido y fomentado sobre la utilidad de los resultados de la evaluación. Una vez que hemos considerado e reflexionado sobre esta coyuntura, la presente investigación ha delineado el perfil y los cuestionamientos de las comunidades escolares publicas el Estado del Rio Grande del Sur con rendimientos extremados en el Examen Nacional de la Enseñanza Media (ENEM). Para esto, las instituciones han sido divididas en dos grupos polares, el Alfa y el Beta, de acuerdo al rendimiento en el ENEM 2012. Por medio de las informaciones existentes en el Censo Escolar en los años 2010, 2011 y 2012, en el ENEM en 2012 y 2013 y en el Sistema Estadual de Evaluación Participativa (SEAP) en 2012 y 2013, la investigación ha procurado aspectos que juntasen o apartasen las instituciones, de acuerdo la evaluación en la larga escala. El objetivo ha sido buscar relaciones entre los resultados de la prueba, con los del Censo Escolar y los del SEAP, para, así, comprehender como las comunidades escolares se diferencian mas allá de los resultados del examen (PORTELA et. al., 2012; CURY 2008b). Con esta intención han sido explotadas las bases cuantitativas de las distintas fuentes y elementos cualitativos originados de las justificativas del SEAP. Como resultado, se ha encontrado instituciones que se diferencian por los resultados diferentes en el ENEM (debido al enfoque propuesto), pero también por el perfil socioeconómico del alumnado y la formación adecuada de los profesores en escuelas con menores indicadores socioeconómicos; una vez que hemos comparado los grupos, también ha sido posible verificar que la infraestructura de las instituciones se asemejan, sin diferenciación en lo que se refiere al rendimiento académico de los estudiantes, así como las calificaciones atribuidas en la autoevaluación. Con el propósito de reflexionar sobre la evaluación y sus resultados, la disertación presenta conceptos que exponen los significados de la evaluación, tales como: el Estado y la globalización (SANTOS, 2008; CASTELLANI, SARRO, 2011; DALE, GANDIN, 2014); la peculiaridad del caso brasileño (CASTRO, RIBEIRO, 2009; FAGNANI, 2011); la evaluación en políticas públicas (FARIA, 2005); la discusión de la Enseñanza Media como promotora de la ciudadanía por medio del aprendizaje (CURY, 2008a) y parte del sistema de enseñanza (SAVIANI, 2008); las evaluaciones como instrumentos de las comunidades escolares (SORDI; LUDKE, 2009), como instrumento para el accountability de estas comunidades (MACHADO, 2009) que posibiliten el empoderamiento en su forma intransitiva (GOHN, 2004). La investigación apunta la necesidad de más discusión sobre las competencias y habilidades exigidas por el ENEM y sobre las responsabilidades de las instituciones escolares en las finalidades propuestas en la Ley de Directrices y Base (LDB), atravéz la garantía de condiciones de calidad para el aprendizaje y de políticas de combate a la desigualdad social; destarte, sobre la importancia de la problematización de la política de evaluación articulada a la formación de profesores y gestión escolar en la construcción del Sistema Nacional de Educación.
