The establishment of a learning culture as a prerequisite for academic achievementMasitsa, Mbotho Gilbert 11 1900 (has links)
The investigation of the relationship between the learning
culture and academic achievement is the focal point of this
research. Owing to the poor scholastic performance of
particularly black matric pupils in the erstwhile Department
of Education and Training, an investigation was launched into
the Department with a view to identify the possible causes of
poor matric performance.
As a point of departure an in-depth study was made into
aspects of the Department of Education and Training, including
those which did not fall within the ambit of the Department,
which would shed light on the possible causes of poor matric
results. The study revealed many signs and incidents which are
symptomatic of an eroded culture of learning in a considerable
number of schools. Subsequently, a comprehensive study of the
establishment of a learning culture was made. According to
this study the establishment of a learning culture should
transcend the boundaries of the school because pupils do not
only learn and study at school, but at home and in the
community as well. After concluding this study it immediately
became evident that a considerable number of black schools
fall far short of the requirements of a learning culture.
The responsibilities of the principal as the manager and
instructional leader of his school, together with the
selection of the principal and teachers for employment, were
the next to be studied. Proper performance of the aforementioned
functions as well as proper selection of either the
principal or teachers for employment can contribute enormously
towards establishing a positive school climate.
In the empirical research data was gleaned by means of
questionnaires. Thereafter the Pearson's product moment
correlation coefficient was used to determine the correlation
between variables and the t-test and chi-square test were used
to test the null hypothesis. From the empirical investigation
it emerged that there is a relationship between a learning
culture and academic achievement. The ultimate conclusion
reached is that the establishment of a learning culture is a
prerequisite for academic achievement.
Arising from this research certain conclusions were drawn,
recommendations were made and areas for possible future
research were suggested. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Psychology of Education)

Combining Business Intelligence, Indicators, and the User Requirements Notation for Performance MonitoringJohari Shirazi, Iman 26 November 2012 (has links)
Organizations use Business Intelligence (BI) systems to monitor how well they are meeting
their goals and objectives. Yet, very often BI systems do not include clear models of
the organization’s goals or of how to measure whether they are satisfied or not. Several
researchers now attempt to integrate goal models into BI systems, but there are still major
challenges related to how to get access to the BI data to populate the part of the goal
model (often indicators) used to assess goal satisfaction.
This thesis explores a new approach to integrate BI systems with goal models. In
particular, it explores the integration of IBM Cognos Business Intelligence, a leading BI
tool, with an Eclipse-based goal modeling tool named jUCMNav. jUCMNav is an open
source graphical editor for the User Requirements Notation (URN), which includes the
Use Case Map notation for scenarios and processes and the Goal-oriented Requirement
Language for business objectives. URN was recently extended with the concept of Key
Performance Indicator (KPI) to enable performance assessment and monitoring of business
processes. In jUCMNav, KPIs are currently calculated or modified manually. The
new integration proposed in this thesis maps these KPIs to report elements that are generated
automatically by Cognos based on the model defined in jUCMNav at runtime, with
minimum effort. We are using IBM Cognos Mashup Service, which includes web services
that enable the retrieval of report elements at the most granular level. This transformation
provides managers and analysts with useful goal-oriented and process-oriented
monitoring views fed by just-in-time BI information. This new solution also automates
retrieving data from Cognos servers, which helps reducing the high costs usually caused
by the amount of manual work required otherwise.
The novel approach presented in this thesis avoids manual report generation and
minimizes any contract with respect to the location of manually created reports, hence
leading to better usability and performance. The approach and its tool support are illustrated
with an ongoing example, validated with a case study, and verified through testing.
