Hjälp eller stjälp? : en studie om användning av digitala verktyg inom elgitarrundervisning på gymnasieskolans estetiska programPalmqvist, Daniel January 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate electric guitar teacher’s experiences of digital tools in their teaching at the upper secondary school arts programme. In order to achieve this purpose I interviewed four experienced teachers in two different age categories, two in their forties and two in their fifties, to see if their attitude or experiences differed in regards to these digital tools. The study is based on a socio-cultural perspective and the result shows that all of the teachers uses several digital tools within the context of their teaching, and also in their own music practices outside of the classroom. The main conclusions are that the interviewed teachers have a positive attitude toward these digital tools, and think they have made their work easier. They also feel like the music is more easily accessible now to both teachers and students alike.

Ableism in United Methodist hymnodyHermans-Webster, Corrie Chesser 21 June 2018 (has links)
The United Methodist Hymnal includes many hymns which make use of ableist language. This paper sets forth an understanding of disability and ability so that the ableist language in United Methodist hymnody may be identified and, when needed, addressed through suggested revision or omission. Putting prominent themes of disability theology and hymnology into conversation with one another, this paper addresses the theological anthropology present in particular hymns with a particular focus on the difference between healing and curing, the metaphors of disability as sin, and images of disability in biblical texts.

Design principles to create an enabling game-based learning environment for the development of 21st century skillsRobberts, Anna Sophia January 2019 (has links)
Learning environments that intrigue the Generation Z learner while transferring communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking skills are what is needed to prepare this generation for the challenges that they are going to face in the 21st century. This research focuses on design principles that would help educators and students in designing (and co-designing) game-based learning environments conducive to not only transferring content knowledge, but also of the most applauded skills that new graduates are compelled to possess. Employers agree that the students do not have what it takes to be successful in the 21st century workplace. Especially in South African context, the focus of higher education institutions can therefore not only be on content delivery, but has to also be on the development of the 4Cs, communication, collaborations, creativity and critical thinking.
The research was conducted at the University of Pretoria where an existing reality game, The Amazing Race, was adapted and re-conceptualised for educational purposes. The overarching search for design principles that could be beneficial in the implementation of a game-based learning environment was guided by an investigation of the elements of the game implemented, the characteristics of games and finally the opportunities afforded to develop the 4Cs. The freshman engineering students’ experiences are discussed using the students’ own voices, and the design principles that surfaced are discussed. It seems as if there are distinct principles that could ease the efforts of practitioners in the implementation of similar learning environments. Further research is needed to refine the principles to other learning environments. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Science, Mathematics and Technology Education / PhD / Unrestricted

Perry Smith and Josef Kavalier: Historical and Literary Victimized VictimizersJeo, Noella 13 July 2005 (has links) (PDF)
In literary trauma theory, victimized victimizers represent an ambiguous area. In my thesis, I show how Perry Smith, a historical figure in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, and Josef Kavalier, a fictional character in Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, represent these ambiguities. Both men become murderers acting out violence that was inflicted upon them as children. However, only Kavalier seems to work through the trauma.

Translation Strategies for Chinese Mythology in Video Games : Comparing Effectiveness of Different Strategies by Meaning and ThemeLindeborg, Oscar January 2023 (has links)
In this essay I will examine selected words from the video game Amazing Cultivation Simulator by GSQ Games. Amazing Cultivation Simulator is a video game developed in China and contains heavy themes of Chinese Fantasy. I will categorize the selected words into different translation strategies and then I will compare their effectiveness based on Meaning and Theme. The strategies will be based on the work In Other Words by Mona Baker. Chinese is a language that is different in many ways compared to Germanic languages, there is a need for proper translation strategies. Additionally, China has a long history which fills the language with references to history and mythology. My aim is to examine the way the translators of the game Amazing Cultivation Simulator handled these difficult words.

The Acoustics of Abolition: Recovering the Evangelical Anti–Slave Trade Discourse Through Late-Eighteenth-Century Sermons, Hymns, and PrayersGilman, Daniel 23 April 2013 (has links)
This thesis explores the late-eighteenth-century movement to end Britain’s transatlantic slave trade through recovering one of the major discourses in favour of abolition, namely that of the evangelical Anglicans. This important intellectual milieu has often been ignored in academia and is discovered through examining the sermons, hymns, and prayers of three influential leaders in this movement: Member of Parliament William Wilberforce, pastor and hymn writer John Newton, and pastor and professor Charles Simeon. Their oral texts reveal that at the heart of their discourse lies the doctrine of Atonement. On this foundation these abolitionists primarily built a vocabulary not of human rights, but of public duty. This duty was both to care for the destitute as individuals and to protect their nation as a whole because they believed that God was the defender of the enslaved and that he would bring providential judgement on those nations that ignored their plight. For the British evangelicals, abolishing the slave trade was not merely a means to avoid impending judgement, but also part of a broader project to prepare the way for Jesus’s imminent return through advancing the work of reconciliation between humankind and God as they believed themselves to be confronting evil in all of its forms. By reconfiguring the evangelical abolitionist arguments within their religious framework and social contexts, this thesis helps overcome the dissonance that separates our world from theirs and makes accessible the eighteenth-century abolitionist discourse of a campaign that continues to resonate with human rights activists and scholars of social change in the twenty-first-century.
