Senior school writing : a study of the content and form of writing in senior secondary EnglishPatis, Anthony Powis, n/a January 1987 (has links)
This study focuses on the writing of senior students in the subject
English at an ACT secondary college. Several features of the ACT
education system are relevant. There is a high retention rate, so the
sample is a broad one. The curriculum is school based, as is assessment.
There are separate courses for those seeking tertiary entrance (TE) and
those seeking to complete their education at Year 12 (Accredited).
The theoretical basis of the study is provided by the work of a number
of linguists with an interest in school language, in particular Graham
Little. 255 samples of writing have been analysed, taking account of the
function and forms of language. The function, or meaning, has been
analysed in terms of content, abstraction, purpose and audience.
The writing in the Accredited course is evenly distributed between the
human and material worlds, three quarters is informational and one
quarter Imaginative. The level of abstraction shows a predominance of
reporting and generalising. Writing in the TE course is 60% concerned
with the human world and reaches higher levels of abstraction such as
speculation and hypothesising. The audience is academic. Compared with
earlier findings, this study shows more human content and higher levels
of abstraction.
Language functions through selective use of forms. The aspects of form
analysed are vocabulary, abstraction of noun phrase, sentence length and
sentence sequencing. Figures produced were largely consistent with
earlier studies; however the TE group shows higher syllable counts,
greater abstraction of noun phrase and longer sentences than the
Accredited group. Creative writing brings the groups closest together.
Handwriting, spelling and punctuation are examined. Handwriting is
always legible, spelling close to 98% correct and 84% of full stops are
correctly used. A small number of scripts produce most of the errors in
both spelling and punctuation.
The achievement of students as revealed by this study of writing is
consistent with earlier studies although the students represented here
demonstrate higher levels of abstraction. The curriculum contains more
human content and is commendably comprehensive, although there is
less poetic and expressive writing than might be expected.
This form of language analysis is recommended for its concentration on
the language actually produced in class, the insights it provides for
teachers and the information it provides for meaningful public
discussion of education.

Senior StudentsBaloglu, Ezgi 01 September 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Self-efficacy refers to people&rsquo / s judgments of their own abilities about a specific situation. The present study examined self-efficacy beliefs of senior students about using ESP (English for Specific Purposes) in their prospective careers. For this purpose, a new scale was developed by the researcher. The predictive power of certain variables (gender, English course grade, watching English language films, reading English language books, listening to English language songs) was investigated through multiple regression analysis. The study was conducted at a private university in Ankara and 303 senior students participated in the study.
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed to determine the factor(s) in the questionnaire. EFA provided evidence for two factor solution and they were named as Academic Reading-Writing Skill (ARWS) and Academic Communication Skill (ACS). Cronbach&rsquo / s alpha coefficients of both ARWS and ACS scales were .97 for each which was a satisfactory result.
The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the model of the combination of variables which were gender, reading English language books, watching English language films, listening to English language songs and English grade significantly predicted both ARWS and ACS scores of the participants. The variables which were reading English language books, watching English language films and English course grade significantly predicted both ARWS and ACS scores of the participants. Listening to English language songs predicted ACS scores but not ARWS scores. However, gender predicted neither of them.

Vyresniųjų klasių (9-12 kl.) mokinių karjeros valdymo kompetencijos ugdymas neformaliajame švietime (atvejo analizė) / Development of career management competencies of senios students (9-12th grade) in non-formal educational settings(case study)Marcinkutė, Aurelija 11 February 2012 (has links)
Karjeros pasirinkimo ir valdymo temą nagrinėjo daug Lietuvos ir pasaulio mokslininkų, tačiau karjeros valdymo kompetencijos ugdymo prielaidos mokykliniame amžiuje nagrinėtos mažai. Pasaulis, kuriame formuojasi žmogaus profesinis kelias, nuolat keičiasi, o teorijos, idėjos ir pasirenkami būdai, kaip pasiekti sėkmingą karjerą, nuolat kinta. Todėl karjeros valdymo kompetencijų plėtojimas tampa aktualia tema. Šiandieninis darbo rinkos pasaulis ir darbo rinkos kaita bei socialiniai, technologiniai, ekonominiai ir globaliniai pokyčiai keičia karjeros sampratą ir asmens karjeros planavimą. Todėl karjeros valdymo kompetencija negali būti baigtinė (įgyta ir taikoma visą gyvenimą), ugdymo procese būtinas perėjimas į saviugdą, lemiančią karjeros valdymo kompetencijos plėtrą. Remdamiesi kompetentingų mokslininkų nuomone, vertinta Lietuvos gimnazijose sukuriamas edukacines prielaidas moksleivių karjeros pasirengimui, bei prieita išvados, jog gimnazijose egzistuoja rengimosi karjerai prielaidos, tačiau jos yra nepakankamos ir netolygios.
Tyrimo objektas - karjeros valdymo kompetencijos ugdymas neformaliajame švietime. Tyrimo tikslas - teoriškai ir empiriškai pagrįsti karjeros valdymo kompetencijos ugdymo(si) galimybes neformalaus švietimo sistemoje, įtraukiant nevyriausybines organizacijas. Tyrimo metodika - filosofinių, psichologinių, pedagoginių, švietimo dokumentų ir kitos darbo temai aktualios literatūros sisteminė analizė, turinio analizė, apklausa.

[toliau žr. visą tekstą] / The topic of career selection and management was considered by the lots of Lithuanian and the world’s scientists, however the presumptions to the education of the competences of career education in school age were less considered. The world, where the career path of a human being forms, changes continuously, and theories, ideas as well as selected methods, how to achieve a successful career, change continuously. Therefore the development of career management competences becomes a relevant topic. The modern world of a labour market and the change of the labour market as well as social, technological, economical and global changes change the concept of career and planning of a personal career. Therefore, the competence of career education shall not be limited (acquired and applicable the whole life long). In the educational process, there is necessary shift to self-education determining the development of the competence of career management. With reference to the opinion of competent scientists, we assessed the educative presumptions for the career readiness of pupils created in Lithuanian Gymnasiums; however these are insufficient and uneven.
The object of the research is the education of the competence of career management in informal education. The purpose of the research is to justify theoretically and empirically the opportunities of the competence (self-) education in career management in the system of informal education involving non-governmental organisations.

Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: Este estudo foi desenvolvido considerando as evidências sobre o desenvolvimento de carreira na perspectiva da teoria social cognitiva, abordando a especificidade do momento de transição para o trabalho por estudante da educação superior. Para isso, recorreu-se ao conceito de crenças de auto-eficácia referente à crença pessoal na capacidade de organizar e executar ações de procura de emprego e de adaptação ao mundo do trabalho. Teve como objetivos: analisar as crenças de auto-eficácia na transição para o mundo do trabalho de estudantes de licenciatura do último ano do ensino superior segundo o gênero, situação de trabalho e área de conhecimento do curso; e caracterizar a relação entre a auto-eficácia no domínio investigado e comportamentos de exploração de carreira. Foi realizado com 351 estudantes do último ano de cursos de licenciatura de uma universidade pública do interior do estado de São Paulo. A maioria era do gênero feminino (60,1%), com média de 24,5 anos, e o desvio padrão de 4,26. Foram aplicadas duas escalas de auto-relato com formato de resposta tipo likert, a Escala de Auto-Eficácia na Transição para o Trabalho (de seis pontos) e a Escala de Comportamento Exploratório (de cinco pontos). A coleta dos dados foi coletiva, mediante a concordância voluntária. A média obtida na escala de auto-eficácia foi 4,75, com desvio padrão de 0,69. Os resultados evidenciaram valores superiores ao ponto médio da escala, em todas as dimensões, demonstrando que os participantes tinham confiança na capacidade para ter sucesso na transição para o trabalho (4,12 a 5,11). Em relação ao gênero, foram identificadas diferenças significativas somente na dimensão autoeficácia na regulação emocional (M=189,55; F=156; p=0,002), revelando que as mulheres tinham crenças menores nesta capacidade. Os estudantes trabalhadores obtiveram índices significativamente superiores em duas dimensões e no total. Também foram identificadas diferenças significativas nas dimensões auto-eficácia na transição para o trabalho (p=0,001) e auto-eficácia na adaptação ao trabalho (p=0,01) entre os participantes dos seguintes pares de área de conhecimento dos cursos: Ciências Humanas-Artes e Ciências Biológicas- Exatas. A magnitude do relacionamento entre as variáveis auto-eficácia e comportamentos de exploração de carreira foi predominantemente fraca. Isto pode estar associado à característica de multideterminação dos fenômenos. Os resultados indicam a relevância de atuação das instituições frente ao desenvolvimento de carreira dos estudantes / Abstract: This study was developed based on the evidence of the career development from the perspective of social cognitive theory, approaching the specification of the sition moment to the job market by higher education students. To do so, it was adopted the concept of self-efficacy, related as the personal belief in the capacity to organize and to execute actions to look for a job and to adapt to the work place. The objectives were: to analyze self-efficacy beliefs in the transition to the work place of senior students according to sex, work status and course area; also, to characterize the relationship between selfefficacy in the areas under study domain to behaviors of career development. The study was conducted with 351 senior bachelor students from a university in the interior of São Paulo. Most of the respondents were female (60, 1%), average age 24, 5 years old, with 4,26 standard deviation . Two scales of self-report in likert format were applied, also the Self-Efficacy for Job Transition Scale (six points), and the Exploratory Behavior Scale (five points). The gathering of data was collectively made voluntarily with acceptance by the respondents. The average obtained in the self-efficacy scale was 4, 75, with 0,69 standard deviation. The results demonstrated higher values to the middle average in all dimensions, showing that the respondents had trust in the capacity of being successful in the transition to work. As to the gender of the respondents, significant differences were found only in the dimension of self-efficacy for emotional regulation (M=189,55; W=156; p=0,002), revealing that women had lower beliefs in this capacity. Students who were working had significantly higher scores in the three dimensions. Significant differences were identified in the dimension of self-efficacy in the transition to work (p=0,001) and self-efficacy in the adaptation to work (p=0, 01) among the participants of the following pair of knowledge area: Human Sciences-Arts and Natural Science. The magnitude of the relation between the variables self-efficacy and behaviors of career exploration was predominately weak. This might be associated to the multi determinative characteristic of the phenomena. Results indicate the relevance of actions made by the institutions in order to emphasize the career development of the students / Mestrado / Ensino, Avaliação e Formação de Professores / Mestre em Educação

Student Employment during Senior Year of Undergraduate StudyBrown-Wujick, Christina A. 03 April 2018 (has links)
This study filled a gap in the higher education literature regarding whether a relationship exists between students’ employment location on or off campus, students’ identification as either native or transfer, and academic success as measured by self-reported grades for full-time seniors between the ages of 20-23 who enrolled in urban colleges and universities. The researcher used the National Survey of Student Engagement survey to collect data. It was administered to students during the 2013 or 2014 administrations at urban colleges and universities, with the purpose of representing the senior cohorts of students at their college or university during the years of administration. The researcher performed a secondary data analysis of the survey responses to the National Survey of Student Experiences of senior students who fit the sampling criterion, with the permission of Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research. The results showed that, for both native and transfer senior student cohorts, as work hours off campus increased, there was a decrease in self-reported grades. In contrast, both native and transfer students who worked on campus enjoyed higher self-reported grades, and students who worked on campus performed better academically than even those students who did not work at all. Finally, the researcher noted no significant difference between the senior native and transfer student populations’ experiences with employment location and grades.

Broad Entrance - Vague Exit : The trajectory of Political Science students through higher education into working lifeJohansson, Kristina January 2007 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to describe Political Science students’ experiences of studies and work life. Students’ reflections on their study situation as well as their envisaged and later experienced work life have been analysed through cross-sectional as well as longitudinal data. Central research questions are how students at the beginning and the end of their studies perceive their study program, how the communication patterns between teacher and students are negotiated, and what discourses of knowledge and competence operate in the program and in work life as well as how students of Political Science experience the transition from higher education to working life at two Euro-pean universities, and how Political science students and students in two professional programmes experience the transition from higher education to work life. The empiri-cal studies are presented in four articles. Ethnography, phenomenography and dis-course analysis have been applied. The results show that students embark on the pro-gram with dreams of being in the halls of power in Brussels or becoming famous by appearing in the media. They are, however, also driven by a Bildung incentive. Towards the end of their studies, more down-to-earth visions of the future as investigators have replaced their previous dreams. Another result is the ongoing negotiations about their role and the purpose of e.g. seminars, which convey double messages about what to say and when to contribute. They also report a rational and generic relationship between their studies and the work tasks, indicating that they have acquired a set of general skills that are helpful for them in their work. When moving from studies into work life, they report having a feeling of being squeezed between the politicians and the general public. Surprisingly, few of them regard themselves as having power in the decision-making arena. Keywords: Higher education, Work life, Trajectories of learning, National comparisons, / Syftet med avhandlingen är att beskriva studenter inom statsvetenskap och deras resa genom akademin ut i arbetslivet. Genom att undersöka studenternas reflektioner och tankar kring sin studiesituation och hur de ser på sitt kommande arbete genom att an-vända en undersökningsdesign som består av en tvärsnittsstudie och en longitudinell studie. Med utgångspunkt i syftet har ett antal forskningsfrågor formulerats; Hur upp-fattas utbildningen av studenter i början och slutet av sina studier? Vilka diskurser kring kunskap och kompetens återfinns i studieprogrammen? Vilka diskurser kring kunskap och kompetens återfinns i arbetslivet? Hur upplever studenter i statsveten-skap vid två europeiska universitet övergången mellan akademi och arbetsliv? Hur upp-lever studenter i statsvetenskap och studenter från två professionsutbildningar över-gången mellan akademi och arbetsliv? De empiriska studierna rapporteras i fyra upp-satser. Etnografi, fenomenografi och diskursanalys är de metoder som använts vid ana-lyserna av empiriska data. Många studenter väljer att läsa statsvetenskap på grund av ett allmän- bildningsin-tresse, de uttrycker också drömmen om att få arbeta i maktens korridorer eller bli kän-da som experter i media. I slutet av sin utbildning infinner sig snarare en bild av en framtida roll som utredare. Eftersom studier i statsvetenskap har en rationell karaktär med fokus på generiska färdigheter är detta inte särskilt förvånande. En grupp studen-ter som följdes under sina första fem veckor i en seminarieserie fick dubbla signaler rörande sin roll vid seminarier. Relationen mellan utbildning och arbete beskrivs som i första hand rationell och generisk, dvs de har förvärvat allmänna färdigheter som är dem till stor hjälp i arbetet. När de som nya på arbetsmarknaden talar om sin identitet, framgår att de beskriver sig som klämda från två håll i sin roll som förmedlare mellan allmänheten och makthavarna. Förvånansvärt få anser att de har någon reell makt när det gäller beslutsfattande. Nyckelord: Högre utbildning, arbetsliv, lärande, identitet, nationella jämförelser, inter-nationella jämförelser, nybörjare, erfarna studenter, professionella noviser.
