To capture the meaning and the sense, Vigotski s Cultural-historical Psychology. The research was performed starting from three studies. The first study was a systematic literature review on youth and public policies taken from the literature published in Scielo portal in the last 10 years (2001-2011). The second study was a documentary research carried out at all the training institutions in the city of João Pessoa and the Regional Department of Labor and Employment (SRTE / PB), with the purpose of mapping the Program, as well as gathering all necessary information to carry out the third study. The last study consisted of 20 semi-structured interviews―10 with graduate apprentices and 10 with managers. For the literature review, a form was used which categorized information such as year of publication, distribution area of the magazine, main subject, type of article (theoretical review or research report), viewpoint used, if the study was qualitative, quantitative or quali-quantitative. For the documentary research, a descriptive analysis of the protocols, reports and study programs obtained from the institutions was performed. For the analysis of the interviews, the Lexical Analysis of the ALCESTE software was utilized. The results of the first study showed that the main issues that emerged regarding youth were sexuality, violence, risks, and vulnerability. The psychology articles represented 15.20% of the publications; however, despite having achieved the third place in comparison with other areas, the first publication in a specialized magazine was in 2004. The data from the second study pointed out that most apprentices achieve integration through supervisory action, which means that the companies only accept young people under the demands of the supervisory organization. In regard to the third study, the speech also denotes the meaning of work as an antidote against the risks of youth. In regard to the expectation of the young people in terms of their participation in the program, the speech shows the importance of integration into the job market, stated as a salvation for those young people. Regarding the functions of the apprentices in the companies, the study identified that they are driven around and placed at the mercy of the company's needs. Regarding post-program market integration, those who were hired ended up working in activities that were temporary, outsourced, and mostly unrelated to the course taken during the apprenticeship. Data analysis of the managers showed that most companies have joined the program only as result of fiscal supervision, and that they are critical of the courses in terms of cost, superficiality of the material taught, and the lack of a more systematic collaboration between the companies and the training institutions. The execution of other studies has been suggested in order to further investigate the aspects related to work overload, conciliation between work and school, lack of fiscal supervision regarding the young people s activities in the companies, as well as the content of the courses offered by the training institutions. / O objetivo geral desta Tese foi analisar o significado da formação e inserção no mercado de trabalho para aprendizes egressos e gerentes de empresas que participam do Programa da Aprendizagem. Para apreender esses significados e sentidos, utilizou-se como aporte teórico a Psicologia Histórico-Cultural proposta por Vigotski. A pesquisa se deu a partir de três estudos, sendo o primeiro um levantamento bibliográfico sistemático acerca da juventude e das políticas publicas, por meio das publicações dos últimos 10 anos (2001 2011) no portal Scielo. O segundo estudo foi uma pesquisa documental, junto a todas as Instituições Formadoras da cidade de João Pessoa e à Superintendência Regional do Trabalho e Emprego (SRTE/PB), com o intuito de realizar um mapeamento do Programa, bem como reunir as informações necessárias para o terceiro estudo. Este último consistiu na realização de 20 entrevistas semiestruturadas, sendo 10 com os aprendizes egressos e 10 com os gerentes. Para efeito da revisão bibliográfica, utilizou-se um formulário que visava categorizar ano de publicação, área da revista de publicação, temática principal abordada, tipo de artigo (revisão teórica ou relato de pesquisa); abordagem utilizada, se qualitativa, quantitativa ou quanti-quali. Para a pesquisa documental realizou-se uma análise descritiva dos protocolos, relatórios e ementas dos cursos obtidos das instituições. Para análise das entrevistas foi utilizada a Análise Lexical do software ALCESTE. Os resultados do primeiro estudo indicaram que as temáticas principais que permearam os estudos sobre juventude foram sexualidade, violência, riscos e vulnerabilidade. Os artigos em Psicologia alcançaram 15,20% das publicações, contudo, apesar de terem alcançado o terceiro lugar em relação às outras áreas, a primeira publicação em revista da área foi em 2004. Os dados do segundo estudo apontam que a maioria dos aprendizes ainda é inserida por ação fiscal, o que significa que as empresas só recebem os jovens mediante a exigência do órgão fiscalizador. No que se refere ao terceiro estudo, vê-se em destaque nas falas também o significado do trabalhar como um antídoto aos riscos da juventude. Quanto às expectativas dos jovens em relação à sua participação no programa, as falas trazem a importância da inserção no mercado de trabalho, apresentada como salvação para suas vidas. Com relação às funções dos aprendizes nas empresas, identificou-se que eles são conduzidos e deslocados entre os vários setores, à mercê das necessidades da empresa. E quanto à inserção no mercado pós-programa, os jovens que estavam empregados, apresentavam-se em atividades temporárias, terceirizadas e em sua maioria, não relacionadas ao curso feito enquanto aprendiz. A análise dos dados dos gerentes apontou que a maioria das empresas só aderiu ao programa em decorrência da fiscalização, e que os mesmos fazem críticas aos cursos em decorrência do custo, da superficialidade dos conteúdos ministrados e da falta de uma relação mais sistemática entre empresa e instituições formadoras. Sugere-se a realização de outros estudos que aprofundem aspectos relacionados à sobrecarga de trabalho; à conciliação entre trabalho e escola; à falta de fiscalização quanto às atividades dos jovens nas empresas, bem como junto aos conteúdos dos cursos ministrados pelas Instituições Formadoras.

The Abstract The present work deals with the guilds, which operate on the territory of Uherský Brod from its inception to the year 1859, when the guilds were replaced by trade licensing crafts. The introductory part brings the history of the city itself and guild system. An important milestone in the life of the guilds became the release of the general guild patent and articles. Said instruments are described in separate chapters. The main part is divided into five groups according to the orientation of individual trades, which is an attempt to answer questions about the formation of the guild and its development from archival sources. Emphasis was placed on the analysis guild articles. The work is accompanied by a picture attachment with preserved guild objects. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Past research has shown a correlation between first-aid training and the reduction of injuries. This connection has been noted in off-the-job situations in addition to industrial studies. This project is an extension of those past findings with three notable differences: total population training was studied, as the intervention instead of just saturation treatment; attention was given to the effect that the half-life of training had upon injury reduction; and three randomly chosen small groups we're studied to determine short range effects. The theoretical bases from which the study hypothesis was developed originated in the Behavioral Science and Psychology literature. Discussions are developed around the mental structuring of accidental potential situations in the case of a person trained in first-aid principles. Behavior Modification was one of the principles of change that offered a.safer environment through first-aid training. Group contagion provided the setting for development of a safer place to work because of socialization to a "safe attitude." The intervention, American National Red Cross Standard Multimedia First-Aid Course, provided some of the mental developments toward modification of behavior. These were the modeling and rehearsal features of the course. A connection between group deviance and accident "proneness" led to a proposal that avoidance behavior was the resultant of the training.

I denna uppgift kommer jag presentera resultatet av min självstudie där jag lär mig tekniken vandrande bas på elbas genom lärarledda elbaslektioner. Denna process är videoinspelad, semistrukturerad intervju har hållits och dokumentationen analyseras genom transkription. Jag kommer bearbeta begreppet kunskap och redovisa några teorier om vad kunskap är och hur man kan kategorisera detta begrepp genom antingen uppdelande av praktisk och teoretisk kunskap. Jag kommer också undersöka huruvida pragmatismens kunskapssyn är applicerbar på denna studie. Studien behandlar hur jag använt mig av mina kunskaper som klassisk gitarrist i min inlärning av elbas. Hur jag kan använda mina kunskaper funna i elbasspelet i mitt klassiska gitarrspel. Även hur de pedagogiska upptäckterna jag gör i elbasspel kan användas i min framtida roll både som elbaslärare och gitarrlärare. Detta behandlas med ett sociokulturellt perspektiv i grunden samt mästarlära. Resultatet visar att förkunskaper i klassisk gitarr är mycket användbart om man vill lära sig elbas och att flera aspekter av gitarrspelet är direkt eller indirekt överförbara till elbasen. Det kommer också visa sig att det finns flera olikheter som kan försvåra inlärandet av elbas. Jag har också hittat grundläggande kunskap i metodik för elbasspel på nybörjarstadium. / In this project, I will present the result of my self-study where I learn the technique of walking bass on electric bass through teacher-led electric bass lessons. This process is video-recorded, semi-structured interview has been held and the documentation is analyzed by transcription. I will process the concept of knowledge and report some theories on what knowledge is and how to categorize this concept through either the division of practical or theoretical knowledge. I will also examine whether the knowledge view of pragmatism is applicable to this study. The study deals with how I used my knowledge as a classical guitarist in my learning of electric bass. How I can use my knowledge found in the electric bass game in my classic guitar play. Even how the pedagogical discoveries I make in electric bass games can be used in my future role both as electric bass teacher and guitar teacher. This is dealt with a socio-cultural perspective in the basics and master-apprentice perspective. The result shows that prior knowledge of classical guitar is very useful if you want to learn electric bass and that several aspects of the guitar play are directly or indirectly transferable to the electric base. It will also show several differences between the instruments that can make learning electric bass more difficult. I have also found basic knowledge in methodology for electric bass games at the beginner stage.

Donald Trump's rhetoric of winners and losers has prompted dangerous division in the United States. It is well understood that Trump's divisive discourse appealed to white, blue-collar Americans who had become disillusioned with the political establishment. This study explores how Trump persuaded this audience by transitioning business communication principles, highlighted by his signature 'winners and losers' theme, into politics. Trump's use of the reality television show, The Apprentice, as a branding platform had the rhetorical effect that catapulted Trump's unique 'winning' brand back into the public's consciousness. While the principles of business rhetoric Trump used in The Apprentice were clearly transitioned to Twitter during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, his tweets were unique in how they foregrounded the 'losers' he faced during the campaign. To illuminate Trump's branding strategy as both TV personality and political candidate, this analysis of Trump draws on Kenneth Burke's concept of consubstantiation and contemporary theories of business rhetoric, namely the idea of narrative-processing and its influence on consumers' connection with a brand. Because Trump constructs his brand with language that aims at restructuring America's social hierarchy, this study also uses critical discourse analysis (CDA) to understand the implications of power for both his audience and his opponents. This study concludes that while Trump's winning brand identity contributed to him winning the presidency, it also promotes male dominance and exacerbates political division in the United States.

To re-purpose an abandoned wine cooperative into a set of workshops and studios with a focus on re-interpreting the role of the ‘crafts apprentice’ in a contemporary setting. The project hopes to upsurge society’s interest in the cultural value that such skills and products hold today, as a way of ceasing the decrasing number of dissapearing crafts and craftmen and women. Simultaneously and above all, the main effect that the interventions to this building and the activities taking place is hoping to have, is to add a transcendental societal, communal and sociological value for our community.

A investigação foi orientada pelos seguintes objetivos: caracterizar os vínculos afetivos construídos pelas crianças durante o período que residem no abrigo; identificar as reações afetivas das crianças diante do fato de estarem em situação de abrigagem; e obter configuração pictórica sobre os sentimentos da criança em relação aos vínculos afetivos com o abrigo e a família. A pesquisa teve a duração de um ano, durante o período de 2004 a 2005. A fundamentação teórica foi obtida em Bowlby, Freud e Wallon. Contribuíram para a análise a teoria ecológica do desenvolvimento humano, de Bronfenbrenner, e a teoria psicanalítica. Os sujeitos participantes do estudo constituíram se por uma professora e treze meninos de 6 a 9 anos que freqüentavam a classe de contraturno escolar no abrigo Instituto João XXIII, na cidade de Ponta Grossa, PR. Foram utilizados como procedimentos de coleta de indicadores: observação participante, entrevistas semi-estruturadas, sessões coletivas, registros fotográficos e expressão pictórica. Como instrumentos, utilizaram-se: diário de campo, roteiro de entrevistas, fragmentos das histórias de vida, fotografias e desenhos das crianças. A análise dos indicadores revelou que as crianças abrigadas estabelecem, gradativamente e em rede, novos vínculos com figuras substitutas: padre, cuidador, natureza, animais, meninos e professora. As reações emocionais referentes à situação de abrigagem mudam conforme a fase de adaptação: choro e agressividade, na fase de protesto; isolamento e indiferença, na fase da depressão; cooperação e alegria, na fase do desligamento. Sintomas psicossomáticos, dor de barriga, são freqüentes. Por outro lado, os abrigados demonstram sentimentos de segurança e proteção em relação ao vínculo com o abrigo e sentimentos de tristeza e saudade em relação ao vínculo com a família. Concluiu-se que a professora configura-se como importante figura de apego, substituta da mãe. Na conjuntura de fatores de risco que levaram à situação de abrigagem, ela é elemento de proteção e resiliência.

AbstractOur life-experiences and our background form the way we act and the activities we are involved in. The overall purpose in this thesis has been to study what habits are to be found in different activities related to the outdoors and how these habits have been developed. Hopefully this work can contribute to a better understanding of the meaning of habits in our lives and thereby play a part in a further differentiated talk about habits and knowledge in society. The background and my theoretical approach has been three views of habits:In practice these patterns of habits are not separable so this approach should be seen as a way of making the development of habits clearer. Another purpose is to study how the following concepts can be related to habits: Reflection, master-apprentice, epistéme, techne, phronesis, interest and tacit knowledge. These habits and concepts constitute a background against which the results will be analyzed. The result originates from seven interviews with very experienced professionals. From the results of these interviews I have created short stories. This is a narrative method, a qualitative attempt that is built on life histories. In this case intention is to formulate an idea of how the way to different habits and knowledge are formed.The stories, i.e. the result, illustrates that all respondents, in one way or another, are affected by the social habit. The culture and the traditions that exist where you were born and where you live will influence habits, the way people think and what values they have creates circumstances for further development. The habit of action is also clearly described in the stories where experiences are an essential part of creating habits. To this habit of action, reflection must be added, a reflection related to the experienced actions. These reflections can help to develop and refine so new actions and challenges can be made. The stories also demonstrate that the relation master-apprentice develops habits. The apprentice learns from the master but the master also has the opportunity to learn by reflecting over why he or she acts in the way he or she does. The habit of knowledge by epistéme, techne and phronesis is also shown in the results. The dominating knowledge-form in these stories is techne, which can be described as know how. Phronesis, practical wisdom, can also be seen in some stories. The concept of phronesis is a question of doing the right thing at the right time considering3the unique situation thus the concept of phronesis involves an ethic dimension. Within the frames of phronesis signs of tacit knowledge can be seen, where the stories describe a kind of intuitive action. The result also indicates that interest is a major factor for creating habits and therefore interest is important for the development of knowledge.Finally I hope that this thesis can contribute to a deeper knowledge about habits and different kind of knowledge. My work can hopefully lead to a discussion or contribute to differentiation in the discussion about knowledge that is presented in today’s society. This is especially important to discuss in the university world where more and new knowledge is the foundation for development.Word for seeking: Habits, epistemology, forms of knowledge, reflection, master-apprentice, episteme, techne, phronesis, interest, and tacit knowledge.

Selection and selection procedures play a key role in the ability of organisations to compete successfully in the complex global and local environment. South Africa is experiencing a serious artisinal and technical skill shortage. Given the unemployment issues and the quest for people to fill the skill shortage gap it is important for organizations to find possible solutions to ensure that they stay competitive and effective in the labour market. Research suggests that at least 12 500 artisans need to be produced each year from 2006 to 2010 to meet the demand for skilled workers. To address above mentioned challenge organizations have to develop strategies to assist them to select individuals with the best chance to succeed in training. Unfortunately, the solution is not simple as organisations have a multitude of influences and pressures which affect their decisions regarding selection procedures. Selection of individuals is becoming an increasingly complex science as organisations have to select a capable and representative workforce. They must thus select candidates that are most likely to benefit from what is offered educationally, meet the requirements stipulated in South Africa's Labour legislation, and will perform most successfully in the specific trade. Bad practice can lead to costly litigation. The objectives of this mini-dissertation were to assess the empirical validity of the Technical Test Battery (TTB), as ability test and the Learning Potential Computerised Adaptive Test (LPCAT) as learning potential test as predictors of academic success of first year apprentice electrician students at a South African technical college serving a mining community. The study explored the current local employment issues that affect selection for training in the technical fields. The difference between the measurement of cognitive ability and learning potential were examined and the nature of the constructs of cognitive ability and that of learning potential were discussed. In the empirical study one of the objectives was to determine whether there was a relationship between the TTB and the LPCAT as two different predictors of the academic success of first yar apprentice electrician students. The difference in the empirical (predictive) validity of the two psychometric selection instruments, if only one of the tests as opposed to if both were used in combination, were examined. Another objective was to determine if there were any differences regarding the scores on the TTB and LPCAT of students from the designated group as opposed to that of students from non-designated groups. Finally this study explored whether the TTB and LPCAT were valid predictors to be used as selection instruments for apprentice electrician students in the South African context The research method consisted of a literature review and an empirical study. The empirical validity of the two predictor tests was validated in terms of the accuracy with which the selection instruments predicted the students' future performance. This research can be categorized as descriptive quantitative research. The TTB and LPCAT scores of a sample of 89 selected apprentice electricians were compared with the number of attempts they used to pass a phase test. Data was analysed by means of descriptive statistics. Pearsons Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, t-tests, ANOVAs as well as discriminant analysis were also used to reach the research objective. Statistically significant relationships were found between the predictor and criterion variables. The results confirm that the TTB and LPCAT are indeed empirical valid tests that can be used in the selection of apprentice electricians. / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2008.
