'n Onderwysbestuursperspektief op die vervreemding van leerlinge in die skoolStrydom, Pieter Francois 21 May 2014 (has links)
M.Ed. (Education Management) / In this dissertation it is endeavoured to explore and discuss the problem of student alienation from an educational management view point. Such perspective inevitably aims at the special task of the management team and particularly to that of the management leaders of schools up to counteraction of student alienation. At first the question of the necessity of successful management for meaningful educational instruction and study events is raised. It is also indicated that student alienation and organization climate fall within the field of educational management because they link with staff-student and classroom- affairs as management areas. Management committees are ever conscious of the alarming trend of alienation in schools. By clearing up this trend it is not only endeavoured to point out how it is manifested at school, but to draw the attention of management committees to the importance of creating a healthy climate for counteracting student alienation in the school environment. One dimension of organization climate that is particularly connected with student alienation is the reigning discipline policy. Specific accent is put on democratic ideas of co-responsibility and involvement of management committees, staff and students by discipline policy development. Odd basic-, organizational and operational principles that can be taken as guide lines for management leaders. are discussed. In totality, management committees and -leaders are to be made conscious of the urgent problem of student alienation by means of this dissertation.

Exploring the association between approaches to studying and course perceptions using the Lancaster inventory : a replicative study at the Cape TechnikonParsons, Phillip January 1988 (has links)
Includes bibliography. / The aim of this thesis research was to replicate the important work conducted by Noel Entwistle and Paul Ramsden, published in 1983, which sought to establish the relationship between perceived contextual factors and students' approaches to studying. The two instruments that they developed for this purpose, the Approaches to Studying Inventory (ASI) and the Course Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ), were administered to 1194 English-speaking and 590 Afrikaans-speaking students in 12 disciplinary areas at the Cape Technikon. Alpha factor analysis of the 24 summated sub-scales of the two inventories was conducted separately for the two samples. When these were compared with the factor structure obtained in the Lancaster research programme certain differences were evident. Although the two main study orientation, meaning orientation and reproducing orientation, were present in slightly modified forms, there were no empirical associations between these two orientations and the contextual factors as measured by the sub-scales of the CPQ. In order to explore the differences between the factor structures of the Lancaster programme and the two Technikon samples, the conceptual assumptions regarding the first order factor structure of the two instruments were relaxed. Firstly the 103 items of both instruments together were subjected to alpha factor analysis and subsequently the 63 variables of the ASI and the 40 variables of the CPQ were subjected to separate alpha factor analysis. These analyses confirmed the integrity of the majority of the sub-scales of the ASI while calling into question the composition and indeed the conceptual validity of the sub- scale surface approach. The factor analysis of the CPQ variables confirmed the sub-scale groupings, but the analysis of the 103 variables failed to demonstrate any empirical association between the two instruments. The replicative study concludes that the CPQ is of no value in terms of explaining students' approaches to studying. The ASI, however, appears to be a useful instrument which produces conceptually meaningful results for different population samples with respect to the two main study orientations. Areas which warrant investigation for the refinement of the ASI were identified and alternative methodologies to explore perceived contextual factors in conjunction with the ASI are suggested.

A comparative study of Chinese and American youth cultureLuo, Laiou 26 February 2003 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore American and Chinese college student
underlying cultural assumptions, which influence their perceptions and behaviors in various
domains of life. The objectives of this study were to: (a) To generate timely knowledge of
Chinese and American youth's cultural images, meanings, and frame of reference. (b) To
evaluate the extent and nature of psycho-cultural difference between American and Chinese
population samples. (c) To increase the cross-cultural awareness of both cultural groups and
offer deeper insights of perceptions and belief system of their contemporaries. (d) To
examine how the economic, social and political changes affect people's images and cultural
frame of reference. (e) To provide a better tool to prepare future study abroad students.
The methodology employed in this research includes Associate Group Analysis (AGA),
focus groups, and participant observation. The data derived from 73 returned surveys on 25
stimulus words (42 from Chinese respondents and 31 from American respondents). These
were analyzed using AGA. Focus groups and participant observation were used as follow-up
research methods to clarify, extend, and qualify findings on the topics explored in the
analysis.
The findings revealed that American self-image and their attitudes towards family,
education, values, conscience and other domains of life showed strong individualistic traits
with an emphasis placed on self-reliance. Compared to American students, Chinese
students' cultural assumptions are related to broad cultural factors derived from Chinese
traditional beliefs about self-control and group harmony. Under the influence of western
culture, Chinese youth have undergone certain changes in their perceptions and practices.
They are experimenting with independent thinking and more concerned with developing
their interests and potentials. They readily visualize their material goals and struggle for
more personal freedom. However, in spite of the strong pull of western culture and
materialism, Chinese students still hold the traditional aspirations of "group harmony,"
"reciprocity," "mutual obligation" and "self-cultivation," reflecting the stability of
community norms over time. / Graduation date: 2003

The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back? A Sociological Analysis of Marriage and Law SchoolMcQuillan, Deanna Boyd 04 June 2007 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This Master's thesis is based on a qualitative study which aimed to understand the perspectives of married male and female law students and the ways in which they managed the interaction between law school and family life. The data was gathered from in-depth interviews with 23 married law students at an urban university. The spillover model was used to address both how being married impacts students' school experiences, as well as to look at how the law school experience influences students' families. In an analysis of marriage-to-school spillover, the married law students reported feeling that they were having a non-normative law school experience as a result of their marital and parenthood statuses and they often compared their experiences to that of an "unmarried other" group of more traditional students. In an analysis of school-to-marriage spillover, students reported various types of strains that resulted from missing out on parts of a perceived normal married life as a result of the demands of law school. Several key differences were noted between the ways male and female students handled the often competing demands of marriage, children, and law school. The implications for the families as well as for legal education are discussed.

Factors influencing college students' attitudes toward technologyKalanda, Kasongo 30 September 2005 (has links)
The present study assessed the views of students on school-related determinants with respect to liking or disliking technology. In determining students' views, two self-report instruments, the Classroom Learning Environment Survey (CLES) and Attitudes Toward Science Scale (ATSS) were used. Also, an interview schedule was arranged with a selected group. Participants were 200 first years registered for Diplomas in Primary -, Secondary -, and Technology Education. Results indicated a positive relationship between attitudes towards technology and each of teacher characteristics, student characteristics and the classroom environment. Regression analysis showed that attitudes toward technology were predicted by the three study variables. On the other hand, no statistically significant gender differences were established. Recommendations and suggestions for further research are also advanced. / Mathematics, Science & Technology Education / M. Sc. (Technology Education)
