Biggest Skills Needs & Gaps : Case Study of Sandvik Coromant & MicrosoftBlomberg, Madeleine January 2021 (has links)
In our increasingly digital age, the pace of digital transformation requires continuous learning. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella put it simply when wanting Microsoft to transition from a culture of "know-it-all" to a culture of "learn-it-all". The most valuable commodity for leaders to do is to set an example for lifelong learning and to find opportunities to encourage others to do the same, allowing each employee to take responsibility for skilling up [18]. This study identifies prioritized skills and assesses what skills gaps exist from these. A maturity framework is developed to measure the level of skills within three dimensions “Technical and Digital skills”, “People and organization skills” and “Strategy skills” and is composed of 30 attributes (Table 1). This study uses Sandvik Coromant as a use case for assessing skill gaps and Microsoft as a use case for how to fulfil the gaps. This study contributes to the manufacturing sector by identifying prioritized skills, empirically establishing a maturity framework and providing an evaluation of Sandvik Cormorant’s current skills gap including how to fulfil these skills gaps by programs, tools or initiatives. / I vår alltmer digitala värld kräver takten i digital transformation kontinuerligt lärande. Microsofts vd Satya Nadella uttrycker att Microsoft ska övergå från en kultur av "veta allt" till en kultur av "lära sig allt". Den mest värdefulla tillgången för ledare är att föregå med gott exempel för livslångt lärande och hitta möjligheter att uppmuntra andra att göra detsamma, så att varje anställd kan ta ansvar för kompetensutveckling [18]. Denna studie identifierar prioriterade kompetenser och bedömer vilka kompetensgap som existerar i dessa. Ett mognadsramverk utvecklas för att mäta kompetensnivån inom tre dimensioner ”Tekniska och digitala färdigheter”, ”Människor och organisationsfärdigheter” och “Strategifärdigheter” och består av 30 attribut (tabell 1). Denna studie använder Sandvik Coromant som ett användningsfall för att bedöma kompetensgap och Microsoft som ett användningsfall för hur man ska kunna uppfylla gapen. Denna studie bidrar till tillverkningssektorn genom att identifiera prioriterade färdigheter, empiriskt upprätta ett mognadsramverk och ge en utvärdering av Sandvik Cormorants nuvarande kompetensgap inklusive hur man kan uppfylla dessa kompetensgap genom program, verktyg eller initiativ.

Experiences of graduation or termination from a girls youth community projectAlkana, Lidia 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / The study attempted to gain insight into the behavioural response to termination/ graduation of a group of ten female graduates from a community intervention programme. The participants, aged between eleven and fourteen years and predominantly from low socio-economic backgrounds, attended the Usiko Girls Youth Community Programme. The eighteen month programme aimed to facilitate their transition from girlhood to womanhood. To this end, the program was conceptualized as having various components including, but not limited to, Initiation, Life skills training, Cultural activities, Camps, and graduation. After the graduation ceremony, which culminated in the termination of the programme for these participants, they returned to the programme, stating different reasons for doing so. A single group, post-test design, utilizing a structured interview was employed with the main focus being the graduation and termination component, to help understand this phenomenon. Thematic analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results suggest that the participant’s identification with the programme made it difficult for some to terminate.

The effect of a movement programme on selected psychological variables among adolescent girls from previously disadvantaged communitiesAlexander, Leonieke Franziska 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine if the participation in a movement
programme, utilising 21 life skill development strategies would make a significant
contribution to adolescent girls' self-esteem. The adolescent girls participating in the
programme were from a previously disadvantaged community in the Western Cape,
South Africa, and considered to be at-risk youth. The movement divisions through which
the life skill strategies of the five and one half month programme were presented to the
experimental group, were designed by the investigator, and included: modern dance,
swimming, self-defence and an individual session of team building.
Harter's (1985) Self-perception Profile for Children was used to measure the six subscales
of self-competence/esteem of a control group (n = 8) and an experimental group
(n = 13) of girls between ages 13 - 16. The six dimensions of self-esteem measured,
included: global self-worth; scholastic competence; social acceptance; athletic
competence; physical appearance, and; behavioural conduct. On completion of the
movement intervention programme by the experimental group, all the girls (N = 21) were
post tested, using the same quantitative measurement instrument. The experimental
group completed an additional open-ended Life Skill Questionnaire, designed by the
investigator, to see if there had been a cognitive transferral of the life skills used in the
movement programme from the movement experience to everyday life activities.
Following the comparison between the pre- and post-test data of Harter's (1985) Se/fperception
Profile for Children, it was concluded that participation in the movement
programme had an overall positive and significant affect on the six sub-scales of the
girls' self-esteem. On analysis of the girls' responses to the Life Skill Questionnaire it
was found that they had been able to utilise all 21 life skills in the various movement
components offered in the programme, and that cognitive transferral of the skills had
taken place to their everyday environment. Conceming the movement division, the
statements revolving around the utilisation of the skills predominantly revolved around

the swimming, followed by dance and lastly self-defence. The life skills that were most
widely used in their everyday environment were highlighted by the themes of
perseverance, commitment and academics. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om vas te stel of die deelname aan 'n
bewegingsprogram, waartydens 21 lewensvaardigheid-ontwikkelingstrategiee gebruik
word, beduidende bydrae tot die selfagting van die adolessente meisie sou lewer. Die
adolessente meisies wat aan die program deelgeneem het, kom vanuit 'n voorheenbenadeelde
gemeenskap in die Wes-Kaap, Suid-Afrika, en word as hoe-risiko jeug
beskou. Die bewegingsverdelings waarmee die lewensvaardigheidstrategiee van die
vyf en 'n half maandelange program vir die eksperimentele groep aangebied is, is deur
die navorser ontwerp en sluit die volgende in: mode me dans, swem, selfverdediging en
'n individuele sessie van spanbou.
Harter (1985) se "Sett-perception Profile for Children" is gebruik om die ses sub-skale
van self-bevoegdheid/agting van 'n kontrolegroep (n = 8) en 'n eksperimentele groep (n
= 13) van meisies tussen die ouderdomme van 13 - 16 te meet. Die ses dimensies van
selfagting wat gemeet is, het die volgende ingesluit: globale selfwaardigheid,
akademiese bevoegdheid, sosiale aanvaarding, atletiese bevoegdheid, fisieke voorkoms
en gedragsbeheer. Na die afhandeling van die bewegings-intervensieprogram deur die
eksperimentele groep is al die meisies (N = 21) getoets met behulp van dieselfde
kwantitatiewe meetinstrument. Die eksperimentele groep het In addisionele
Lewensvaardigheidsvraelys voltooi, wat deur die navorser ontwerp is om te sien of daar
'n kognitiewe oordrag van die lewensvaardighede was wat in die bewegingsprogram
vanaf die bewegingservaring tot daaglikse aktiwiteite gebruik is.
Na die vergelyking van die voor- en na-toetsdata van Harter (1985) se "Self-perception
Profile for Children" is gevind dat deelname aan die bewegingsprogram 'n algehele
positiewe en beduidende effek het op die ses sub-skate van die meisies se selfagting.
Die analise van die meisies se terugvoer op die Lewensvaardigheidsvraelys het getoon
dat hulle instaat was om al die 21 lewensvaardighede in die verskeie
bewegingskomponente te gebruik wat in die program aangebied is en dat kognitiewe
oordrag van die vaardighede plaasvind na hul daaglikse omgewing. Wat die
bewegingsverdeling betref, het die stellings aangaande die gebruik van die vaardighede
hoofsaaklik gehandel oor die swem, gevolg deur dans en laastens selfverdediging. Die
lewensvaardighede wat die meeste gebruik is in hul daaglikse omgewing is sterk na
vore gebring deur temas soos deursetlingsvermoe, verpligting en akademie.

The support needs of life orientation teachers in the Further Education and Training BandStrydom, Verena Zita 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEdPsych)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South African youth are confronted by a range of challenges on a daily basis which can
potentially evolve into serious barriers to learning and development. Life Orientation is
a critical subject offered by the Further Education and Training (FET) band as it aims to
prevent the development of such problems. Furthermore, the role played by the teacher
in successfully and meaningfully presenting Life Orientation is a pivotal one. This study
therefore aimed at understanding the support needs of Life Orientation teachers in the
FET band in order to gain insight into the challenges experienced and what
recommendations can be made to improve support to teachers, and consequently,
learners. The theoretical framework on which this study was based was positive
psychology as its emphasis on the fostering of positive individual traits, emotions and
institutions is an appropriate and constructive way of understanding teachers’ support
needs within their school communities.
This study’s research methodology can be described as basic qualitative research which
is embedded within an interpretive paradigm. Purposive sampling was used to select
three schools and their Life Orientation departments as research participants. Three
methods of data collection were employed, namely written reflective notes and semistructured
focus group- and individual interviews. Furthermore, qualitative content
analysis was used to analyse the data.
The research findings indicated that Life Orientation teachers in the FET band
experience a range of support needs across the various levels within the school
community. Teachers experience a tension between the expectations of the Department
of Education, the needs of the learners, and their own expectations with regards to the
facilitation of a community of care within the Life Orientation classroom. Support
therefore needs to be aimed at increasing teachers’ competencies and providing
opportunities to collaborate with other teachers to develop positive individual traits and
foster positive emotions. Furthermore, school communities need to become aware of
their attitudes and perceptions towards the subject so as to initiate processes which can
lead to the promotion and development of positive, supportive institutions. A critical
step in doing so is to consider policies regarding the appointment of Life Orientation
teachers and ensure that qualified, specialist teachers who believe in the value of the
subject are employed in these posts. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse jeug word daagliks gekonfronteer met ‘n wye spektrum uitdagings
wat potensiëel tot ernstige hindernisse vir leer en ontwikkeling kan ontwikkel.
Lewensoriëntering is ’n noodsaaklike vak in die Verdere Onderwys en Opleidingsband
(VOO) juis omdat dit poog om die ontwikkeling van hierdie hindernisse te verhoed. Die
rol van die opvoeder in die suksesvolle en betekenisvolle aanbieding van
Lewensoriëntering is deuslaggewend. Daarom poog hierdie studie om die
ondersteuningsbehoeftes van Lewensoriënteringopvoeders te verstaan ten einde insig te
verkry in die uitdagings wat hulle ondervind. Sodoende kan aanbevelings gemaak word
vir die ondersteuning van opvoeders wat dan sal deurvloei na die leerders. Die teoretiese
raamwerk van hierdie studie is positiewe sielkunde, aangesien dit die ontwikkeling van
positiewe individuele kenmerke, emosies en organisasies beklemtoon. Dit is dus ’n
toepaslike en konstruktiewe manier om die ondersteuningsbehoeftes van opvoeders
binne hulle skoolgemeenskappe te verstaan.
Die navorsingsmetodologie wat in hierdie studie gebruik is, kan beskryf word as basiese
kwalitatiewe navorsing binne ’n interpretivistiese paradigma. ’n Doelgerigte steekproef
is gebruik om drie skole en hul Lewensoriënteringdepartemente as deelnemers te
identifiseer. Drie metodes van data-insameling is gebruik, naamlik geskrewe reflektiewe
notas, semigestruktureerde fokusgroeponderhoude en individuele onderhoude. Verder is
kwalitatiewe inhoudsanalise gebruik om die data te analiseer.
Die navorsingsbevindinge het aangedui dat Lewensoriënteringopvoeders in die VOO
band ’n wye verskeidenheid ondersteuningsbehoeftes binne die verskillende vlakke van
die skoolgemeenskap ervaar. Opvoeders ervaar spanning tussen die verwagtinge van die
Departement van Onderwys, die behoeftes van leerders en hul eie verwagtinge met
betrekking tot die fassilitering van ’n omgeegemeenskap in die Lewensoriënteringklaskamer.
Ondersteuning behoort dus te poog om die bevoegdhede van die opvoeder te
verbeter en geleenthede daar te stel vir die ontwikkeling van positiewe individuele
kenmerke en die vestiging van positiewe emosies. Verder behoort skoolgemeenskappe
meer bewus te raak van hul persepsies en houdings teenoor die vak ten einde prosesse in
plek te kan stel vir die bevordering en ontwikkeling van positiewe organisasies. ’n
Kritiese stap in die bereiking hiervan, is die oorweging van beleide met betrekking tot
die aanstelling van Lewensoriënteringopvoeders en die versekering dat gekwalifiseerde,
gespesialiseerde opvoeders wat in die waarde van die vak glo, in hierdie poste aangestel
word.

Die aard van jeugdiges se subjektiwiteite by 'n skool in 'n diverse plattelandse mynbou-omgewingGroenewald, Emma 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEd)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the nature of the youths` subjectivity at a school in a diverse rural mining environment. The study was done in an isolated rural mining environment.
Space is an important point of departure and a thorough background of the contextual factors are given. The participants in this study are daily confronted with challenges such as long distances, poverty, unemployment and alcohol and substance abuse. Space, subjectivity and cultural capital are used to understand youth development and youth experience.
The main premise of the study is that the environments of these youth greatly overlap. There is a dynamic relationship between their living and school environment. Distinctive processes, social networks, relationships and cultural groups are found in each of these environments. Another focus of this study was to determine how these young people bridge their different lived spaces, negotiate and adapt within these environments.
Qualitative reseach methods were used in formal and informal interviews. Participants had the opportunity to present their experiences in storyline. A narrative-based, interpretive, -descriptive research paradigm was the most appropriate research method of capturing the wide variety of living experience.
The study demonstrates how these youth are positioned within their environments in order to embody their space subjectivity. By making use of their own resources, networks and interactions, they navigate their overlapping spaces and thereby lead meaningful lives. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsing in hierdie studie wou die aard van jeugdiges se subjektiwiteite by `n skool in `n diverse plattelandse mynbou-omgewing vasstel. Die studie vind plaas op `n afgeleë plattelandse mynbou-omgewing.
Ruimte is `n belangrike vertrekpunt en `n deeglike agtergrond van die kontekstuele faktore word gegee. Die deelnemers in die studie word daagliks gekonfronteer met uitdagings soos ver afstande, armoede, werkloosheid, tienerswangerskappe en drank-en dwelmmisbruik. In die studie word die lense ruimte, subjektiwiteit en kulturele kapitaal gebruik om jeugwording en jeugmeemaking in `n plattelandse mynbou-omgewing te verstaan.
Die hoofuitgangspunt was dat die omgewings waarin die jeugdiges hulle bevind, veelvuldig oorvleuel. Daar bestaan `n dinamiese verwantskap tussen die jeugdiges se woon- en skoolomgewing. Binne elke ruimte is daar eiesoortige prossesse, sosiale netwerkverhoudinge en kulturele groepe. Die studie fokus ook op die maniere hoe hierdie jeugdiges hul verskeie beleefde ruimtes oorbrug en hoe onderhandeling en aanpassing binne die ruimtes plaasvind.
Kwalitatiewe navorsingsinstrumente: formele en informele onderhoude is gebruik om my navorsingsvraag te beantwoord. Die deelnemers is geleentheid gegee om hulle ervaringe in storielyn te weergee. `n Narratiewe interpretatiewe beskrywende navorsingsparadigma was die toepaslikste om die ryke verskeidenheid van geleefde ervaringe oor te dra.
Die studie toon hoe die deelnemers op spesifieke maniere deur hulle omstandighede geposisioneer word ten einde vergestalting aan hul jeugsubjektiwiteite te gee. Deur gebruik te maak van hul eie bronne, netwerke en interaksies navigeer hierdie deelnemers hul oorvleuelde ruimtes om sodoende sinvolle lewens te leef.

Stanovení základních norem Jebsen-Taylor testu u zdravých osob / Determination of the Basic Normative Data of the Jebsen-Taylor Test in a Non-Clinical Population.Bačová, Eliška January 2016 (has links)
Motor skills disorder of upper limb motor disorders is currently a frequent reason for large population disability. That is why it is necessary to adress this issue and look for possibilities of proper evaluation and therapy. One of the standard methods is Jebsen- Taylor test (JTT). This thesis deals with theoretical aspects of the Jebsen-Taylor test and presents results of the research verifying psychometric characterictics of the test as well as influence of demografic characteristics on the performance in the test. The theoretical part deals with motor skills disorder that are closely related with the test. The practical part presents results of the research using the sample of nonrandomised Czech non-clinical population. The aim is to create basic norms of the Jebsen-Taylor test and this particular population.The norms were created on a sample of 180 persons separately for men and women divided into three age groups (20-59, 60-75, 76-99). The age of the participants influences the results in most subtests of the Jebsen-Taylor test. With the increasing age, an average time of particular subtests increases, too. The gender influence was not notably manifested in most subtests. In the group of men the performance of the upper limb showed significant difference. On the other hand, in the group of...

Previous issue date: 2018-02-09 / Among the techniques used for assessing candidates for positions in companies, or to evaluate professionals who are seeking professional guidance are personality and vocational interest measurement instruments. This exploratory study was designed to investigate the psychometric properties of a tool known as the Professional Skills Profile, PHP2, the construction of which was based on the Marston DISC theory and that is available on the Internet. Data was collected via the www.projetopersona.com.br website, which was specially designed for this purpose. In addition to the PHP2 questionnaire, professionals responded to the following scales: Reduced Markers for Personality Assessment in the Five-Factor Model, Vocational Interests Scale, and the Work Wellbeing Scale. The sample consisted of 976 participants, the majority of whom were female (65.5%) with a mean age of 34.47 years (SD = 10.15 years). Low to moderate, positive and negative correlations were found between the ?PHP2 skills?, ?personality types? and ?professional interests? constructs, indicating that they are related, but do not overlap. Complementary studies are indicated for continuing to pursue an understanding of the results presented and to expand discussions on the subject. / Entre as t?cnicas utilizadas para avaliar candidatos a posi??es abertas em empresas ou para avaliar profissionais que buscam orienta??o profissional est?o os instrumentos de medidas de personalidade e interesses vocacionais. Este estudo explorat?rio foi estruturado para investigar as propriedades psicom?tricas de uma ferramenta constru?da com base na teoria DISC de Marston e ofertadas com base na internet, o PHP2 ? Perfil de Habilidades Profissionais. A coleta de dados se deu pelo site http://www.projetopersona.com.br, especialmente constru?do para esta finalidade. Profissionais responderam, al?m do question?rio do PHP2, ?s escalas: Marcadores Reduzidos para a Avalia??o da Personalidade no Modelo dos Cinco Grandes Fatores, Escala de Interesses Vocacionais (EIV) e a Escala de Bem-Estar no Trabalho (EBET). A amostra foi composta por 976 participantes, com maioria do g?nero feminino (65,5%), idade m?dia de 34,47 anos (DP= 10,15 anos). Foram encontradas correla??es de baixas a moderadas, positivas e negativas entre os construtos habilidades PHP2, tipos de personalidade e interesses profissionais, indicando que estes se relacionam, mas n?o se sobrep?em.
