Įvairiuose dokumentuose deklaruojama, kad kiekvienos tautos ateitis priklauso nuo augančios kartos. Būtent šios kartos išsilavinimo kokybė, matuojama daugeliu parametrų, taps veiksniu, lemiančiu ateitį. Savo darbe stengiausi išsiaiškinti kas yra kokybė, kaip ji suvokiama bendrojo lavinimo mokyklose, kokios vadovavimo strategijos užtikrina kokybės kaitos procesus. Teorinėje dalyje apžvelgiau kokybės sampratą literatūriniuose šaltiniuose, analizavau vadybos principus ir strategijas, garantuojančias kokybės kaitą mokyklose. Empirinėje dalyje aptariau kaip kokybė suprantama tiriamose švietimo įstaigose, tyriau kaip pasirinktos vadybinės strategijos įtakoja ugdymo kokybę, parengiau kokybės vertinimo modelį. Tyrime dalyvavo 5 Alytaus apskrities mokyklos, 144 mokytojai, 228 mokiniai, 228 tėvai ir 12 mokyklos vadovų. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad kokybės samprata mokyklose grindžiama ugdymo proceso organizavimu, saugios aplinkos garantavimu, mokinių pasiektais rezultatais, kryptinga vadyba. Visų respondentų nuomone siekiant kokybės labai svarbus mokinių, mokytojų ir mokyklos vadovų saugumo jausmas. Mokytojai ir mokiniai pakankamai jaudinasi dėl kaitos, mokyklos filosofijos atnaujimo, tačiau tuo pačiu domisi inovacijomis, švietimo dokumentais, garantuojančiais ugdymo kokybės kaitą. Kaip vienas iš kokybės kaitos parametrų akcentuojama mokinių motyvacija. Visi respondentai pritarė, kad pagrindinis veiksnys motyvacijai skatinti- emocinė aplinka. Nustatyta, kad...

The quality of education of exactly this generation is going to become a determinant of the future. In my paper I have tried to find out what quality is, how it is perceived in comprehensive schools, which management strategies ensure processes of quality vicissitude. In the theoretical part I have reviewed a conception of quality in literary sources, analyzed management principles and strategies that guarantee quality vicissitude. In empirical part I have showed how quality is perceived in exploratory education institutions, analyzed how chosen management strategies influence quality of education, and prepared a model of quality evaluation. My research involved 5 Alytus County schools, 144 teachers, 228 students, 228 parents and 12 school principals and their deputies. The results of the research showed that quality conception in schools is based on organization of education process, reassurance of safe environment, students’ results, and purposeful management. According to all respondents’ opinion a sense of security is a very important factor when aiming for quality. Teachers and students are quite worried about the change, renewal of school philosophy; still, at the same time they are interested in innovations, education documents that ensure vicissitude of education quality. Students’ motivation is emphasized as one of parameters of quality... [to full text]

Given this injunction, the Freudian subject, subsumed and insurgent in the cultural field, disturbed by the noise of the drives and the dark tones of the oppression of the reality principle, is endlessly confronted with the desire and the demands of external reality. The theme is developed from notions of psychoanalysis present in the work above in liaison and dialogue with the fields of social philosophy, questioned by two symbolic registers of human expression, politics and aesthetics. The main question lies in the bonds between civilization and culture that determine a complex and oppressive system of needs for the subject in order to glimpse the faces of the contemporary malaise. The central hypothesis is that despite the complexity that engenders unease and the wide adaptive force that impels it, its social configuration is not impervious to the dialectical telos of history and its properties: coercion and rebellion, subjugation and emancipation. From the hypothesis, two perspectivations arise: the possibilities of overcoming the self-reproduction of the politics that overweighs the reality principle, and the scope of the subversion of experience, a quality inherent in art and the aesthetic function, as an emancipatory path. The reflective and analytical course of this thesis was based on the clarity that subjectivation processes are not separated from their historical production; or in other words, it is the real historical process that constitutes the subject in the present state of things / O mosaico da fragilidade humana se revela na obra O Mal-estar da Civilização de Freud pela precária e finita existência, pelas agruras e ameaças advindas da natureza e a ambiguidade das relações com o outro. Dessa injunção, o sujeito freudiano, subsumido e insurgente no campo da cultura, perturbado pelo ruído das pulsões e os tons sombrios da opressão do princípio de realidade, é confrontado indefinidamente com o desejo e as exigências da realidade externa. O tema é desenvolvido a partir de noções da psicanálise presentes na obra acima referida em articulação e diálogo com campos da filosofia social, problematizado por dois registros simbólicos da expressão humana, a política e a estética. A questão principal localiza-se nos vínculos entre civilização e cultura que determinam um complexo e sufocante sistema de necessidades para o sujeito, de modo a vislumbrar as faces do mal-estar contemporâneo. A hipótese central é que a despeito da complexidade que engendra o mal-estar e a ampla força adaptativa que o impulsiona, sua configuração social não é impermeável ao telos dialético da história e suas propriedades: coerção e revolta; subjugação e emancipação. A partir da hipótese, duas perspectivações: as possibilidades de superação da auto-reprodução da política que determina sobrepesos ao princípio de realidade; e o alcance da subversão da experiência, qualidade inerente à arte e a função estética, como trilha emancipatória. O percurso reflexivo e analítico da tese pautou-se pela clareza de que os processos de subjetivação não estão desvinculados da produção histórica, em outras palavras, é o processo histórico real que constitui o sujeito no estado presente das coisas

The intention of this study was theory creation in the field of organisational change, directed towards the creation of a conceptual change framework. A qualitative research approach was followed and a grounded theory methodology adopted. This study involved a theoretical investigation of organisational change and leadership within South African organisations, although insights gained could be transferred across contexts or settings. The primary aim was to create a practical change framework to ensure sustainable organisational change. Secondly, to determine the impact of leadership on successful organisational change. Thirdly, to establish whether any fundamental elements can be identified as essential for inclusion in such a change framework. Fourthly, to identify non-negotiable success factors that can ensure successful change. Fifthly, to determine the human elements that should be included in order to minimise negative outcomes such as resistance and noncompliance. The final aim was to ascertain what meta-insights can be gained from organisational change and leadership. The research findings concluded that the first perception when speaking about change is fear, anxiety and increased stress, resulting in impaired functioning. Organisations struggle to handle increased stress levels during periods of change and require improved methods of dealing with stress to ensure optimal individual functioning. Only through reduced stress levels will individuals be able to engage with organisational change initiatives. Alternative intervention technologies were suggested which could assist the individual change journey through reduced stress and/or increased consciousness. These alternative intervention technologies were suggested because of the paucity of current literature. It practically aids organisations on how to deal with the stress dilemma. This research introduced the concepts of anti-leader and anti-manager. These concepts depict the negative characteristics of leadership and management which invariably increases individual stress levels. Emotions elicited by the anti-leader and/or anti-manager could potentially split, divide and fragment a workforce. The ideal organisational approach should be designed by the people, be inclusive of all, involve, empower and allow individuals to make the required decisions. As organisational change can only be effected through individual change, this thesis places the individual in the centre. Without individual change, vicissitude and sustainable organisational change become highly unlikely. / Business Management / DBL
