A historical-educational appraisal of parental responsibilities and rights in formal education in South Africa [1652-1910]

Le Roux, Cheryl Sheila, 1954- 11 1900 (has links)
The grounds for asserting that parents of all cultures can be held responsible and accountable for the care and education of their children derive from sources such as the primordial nature of humanity, the precepts of state statutes and international protocols that refer to educational issues and the tenets of scripts that apply to adherents of a particular philosophy of life - for example the Bible as the guide for parents who subscribe to a Christian philosophy of life. The issue of parental say in formal education as provided for in current education legislation is perhaps not an entirely unique development. In this thesis the development of the concept of parental responsibilities and rights in relation to formal schooling in South Africa during the Colonial period was investigated. An attempt was made to determine what Colonial parents - who were predominantly Protestant Calvinist and who consequently subscribed to a Christian philosophy of life - did to ensure that their children's formal education met with their approval and fulfilled their expectations. A further aspect examined related to the identification of the specific issues in education that these parents believed they should be afforded the right to regulate in order to ensure that their children's formal education - as an extension to their primary education - conformed with the fundamental principles of their philosophy of life. The research affirmed the significance a philosophy of life holds for the perception of what it is that constitutes authentic education. It can consequently be concluded that parental involvement in formal schooling should not be seen as intrusion in a realm beyond the jurisdiction of the parent, but as cases of judgement, discernment and selection dictated by the parent's philosophy of life. / Educational Studies / D.

Coconstruction des composantes d'un programme d'intervention en soutien à la résilience de familles dont un adolescent est atteint d'un traumatisme craniocérébral

Gauvin-Lepage, Jérôme 08 1900 (has links)
La vie de famille avec un adolescent comporte son lot de défis. Les émotions de l’adolescent qui se présentent parfois comme des montagnes russes peuvent rendre les relations tendues et difficiles au sein de la cellule familiale, voire même au-delà de celle-ci. Par son caractère inattendu, l’avènement d’un traumatisme craniocérébral (TCC) chez l’adolescent vient fragiliser encore davantage la dynamique familiale. En outre, la myriade d’impacts engendrés par le TCC contraint la famille à modifier son projet de vie en s’investissant ensemble pour le reconstruire. La résilience devant une situation de traumatisme ne se manifeste pas de la même façon pour toutes les familles qui y sont confrontées. Certaines d’entre elles réussissent à se transformer positivement, tandis que d’autres n’y parviennent pas ou manifestent plus de difficultés. Il convient alors d’actualiser des approches de soins interdisciplinaires centrées sur la famille qui favoriseraient la reconnaissance des éléments pouvant soutenir son processus de résilience à travers cette épreuve et, enfin, aider à transformer son projet de vie. Avec comme perspective disciplinaire le modèle humaniste des soins infirmiers (Cara, 2012; Cara & Girard, 2013; Girard & Cara, 2011), cette étude qualitative et inductive (LoBiondo-Wood, Haber, Cameron, & Singh, 2009), soutenue par une approche collaborative de recherche (Desgagné, 1997), a permis la coconstruction des composantes d’un programme d’intervention en soutien à la résilience familiale, avec des familles dont un adolescent est atteint d’un TCC modéré ou sévère et des professionnels de la réadaptation. Le modèle de développement et de validation d’interventions complexes (Van Meijel, Gamel, Van Swieten-Duijfjes, & Grypdonck, 2004) a structuré la collecte des données en trois volets. Le premier volet consistait à identifier les composantes du programme d’intervention selon les familles (n=6) et les professionnels de la réadaptation (n=5). La priorisation et la validation des composantes du programme d’intervention, soit respectivement le deuxième et troisième volets, se sont réalisées auprès de ces mêmes familles (n=6 au volet 2 et n=4 au volet 3) et professionnels de la réadaptation (n=5 aux volets 2 et 3). Le processus d’analyse des données (Miles & Huberman, 2003) a repéré cinq thèmes intégrateurs, considérés comme les composantes du programme d’intervention en soutien à la résilience familiale à la suite du TCC modéré ou sévère d’un adolescent. Ce sont : 1) les caractéristiques de la famille et ses influences; 2) les stratégies familiales positives; 3) le soutien familial et social; 4) la prise en charge de l’aspect occupationnel et; 5) l’apport de la communauté et des professionnels de la santé. Les résultats issus de ce processus de coconstruction ont produit une matrice solide, suffisamment flexible pour pouvoir s’adapter aux différents contextes dans lesquels évoluent les familles et les professionnels de la réadaptation. Cette étude offre en outre des avenues intéressantes tant pour les praticiens que pour les gestionnaires et les chercheurs en sciences infirmières et dans d’autres disciplines quant à la mise en place de stratégies concrètes visant à soutenir le processus de résilience des familles dans des situations particulièrement difficiles de leur vie. / Family life with an adolescent has its share of challenges. The adolescent’s emotional rollercoasters can make relationships tense and difficult within the family unit, and even outside of it. By virtue of its unexpected character, the occurrence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in an adolescent can undermine the family dynamics even further. Additionally, the myriad of impacts caused by a TBI forces the family to alter its plans for the future by committing themselves together to rebuild them. Resilience to trauma does not manifest itself in the same way for all families. Some manage to effect positive changes, while others are unable to do so, or experience more difficulties. In light of this, it appears relevant to develop family-centred care approaches fostering the recognition of elements that can support the family’s resilience process through hardships and, ultimately, help reconstruct its plans for the future. Using the humanist model of nursing care (Cara, 2012; Cara & Girard, 2013; Girard & Cara, 2011) as a disciplinary perspective, this qualitative and inductive study (LoBiondo-Wood, Haber, Cameron, & Singh, 2009), supported by a collaborative research approach (Desgagné, 1997), led to the co-construction of the building blocks for an intervention program to support family resilience in conjunction with families with an adolescent suffering from moderate or severe TBI and rehabilitation professionals. The complex intervention design and validation model (Van Meijel, Gamel, Van Swieten-Duijfjes, & Grypdonck, 2004) inspired a three-stage data collection process. The first stage consisted in identifying the building blocks of the intervention program in the eyes of families (n=6) and rehabilitation professionals (n=5). The prioritization and validation of these building blocks, respectively the second and third stages, were conducted with the same families (n=6 for stage 2 and n=4 for stage 3) and rehabilitation professionals (n=5 for stages 2 and 3). The data analysis process (Miles & Huberman, 2003) identified five encompassing themes, considered to be the building blocks of an intervention program to support family resilience following moderate to severe TBI in adolescents. They are: 1) family characteristics and its influences; 2) positive family strategies; 3) family and social support; 4) management of occupational aspects; 5) contribution of the community and health professionals. The results of this co-construction process established a strong matrix that is flexible enough to adapt to the various contexts in which families and rehabilitation professionals live and work. This study also offers promising avenues for practitioners, administrators and researchers in nursing and other fields with respect to the implementation of concrete strategies to support the resilience process of families facing particularly difficult times in their lives.

Instituição católica confessional, alicerçada em princípios humanistas e relacionada à Província Marista do Rio Grande do Sul (PMRS), uma das associadas da União Marista do Brasil (UMBRASIL), pertencente ao Instituto Marista. Rede de Ensino privada com referência no cenário educacional gaúcho, traçou metas no Planejamento Estratégico (PE) 2012-2022 estabelecidas a partir dos apelos do 21º Capítulo Geral do Instituto Marista com vistas ao objetivo de sustentabilidade social e financeira. Como um dos meios para alcançar esse objetivo, implementam-se Documentos Norteadores como o Projeto Educativo Marista (PEM) e as Matrizes Curriculares do Brasil Marista se utilizando de instrumentos de avaliação em larga escala para avaliar a aprendizagem e a gestão da Rede e das Unidades. Este estudo se fundamenta em metodologia de Pesquisa quanti-qualitativa, no campo da Educação. Os dados do estudo empírico foram levantados por meio de documentos da PMRS, dados de relatórios e boletins das avaliações em larga escala Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem), Sistema Marista de Avaliação (SIMA) 2010 a 2014 e questionários aplicados aos gestores da RCMRS. A partir da análise de dados, demonstramos que a Rede de Colégios, mesmo servindo-se de estratégias de avaliação da aprendizagem e de gestão que apresentem também perspectiva de lógica mercantilista educacional, vem conseguindo trabalhar os resultados das avaliações em larga escala na dimensão diagnóstica, por meio de Planos de Ação Locais com vistas à melhoria da qualidade educacional das Unidades e, em consequência, da Rede. Na lógica das matrizes de referência das avaliações em larga escala, os resultados que estão sendo obtidos pela maioria dos Colégios da Rede Marista RS ainda não expressam melhoria na qualidade da educação que está sendo promovida e que está no horizonte estratégico da instituição. Por outro lado, constata-se que a Instituição vem crescendo nos últimos anos em número de estudantes, principalmente nos níveis iniciais, e que indicadores da identidade da Instituição também estão agregados na construção cultural das famílias, como indicadores de qualidade da educação. As lógicas humanista e neoliberal presentes no atual cenário das instituições católicas confessionais privadas, em especial da Instituição Marista, apontam que há uma problematização, no mínimo, inadiável de ser promovida. / This study had the aim to discuss about the evaluation in large-scale of Rede de Colégios Maristas - RS (RCMRS), a Catholic Confessional Institution that is grounded in human principles and that is related to the Província Marista do Rio Grande do Sul (PMRS), associated to the União Marista do Brasil (UMBRASIL), belonging to the Instituto Marista. This private school system with great reference in Rio Grande do Sul State (RS) educational scenery, traced goals in the Strategic Planning (PE) 2012-2022 established from the appeals of the 21st General Chapter of the Instituto Marista with views to the aim of social and financial sustainability. As a form to reach this goal, Guiding Documents as the Projeto Educativo Marista (PEM) and the Matrizes Curriculares do Brasil Marista are implemented by using the evaluation instrument in large-scale to evaluate the learning and the management of the network and its units.The study is based on the methodology of a quantitative and qualitative research. The data of the empiric study were collected through documents from PMRS, data of reports and bulletins of large-scale assessments like National High School Exam (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio - Enem) and Marist Evaluation System (Sistema Marista de Avaliação - SIMA) 2010 to 2014 and questionnaires answered by managers of RCMRS. From the data analysis we demonstrate that this school system, even taking advantages from evaluations strategies of learning and management that also presents a logical and mercantilist educational perspective, has been able to work the results of the evaluations in a large-scale of diagnostic dimension, by the action local plans with the aim to improve the educational quality of the units and by this, to improve the network educational quality. In the line of the reference arrays of the assessments in large-scale, the results that are been obtained by the majority of the Rede de Colégios Marista in RS haven’t show the improvement on educational quality that has been promoted and that is the strategic horizon of the institution yet. In the other side, we note that the institution has been growing in recent years in the number of students, especially in the early levels and that the quality indicators of the institution also are aggregated in the family’s cultural construction, as indicators of quality education. The Humanist and Neoliberal logics present in the current scenario of private confessional catholic institutions, especially in Instituição Marista, show that, at least, there is an urgent problematic to be promoted.

Devenir lecteur des référents culturels dans l'œuvre du poète européen Guillermo Carnero / To become a reader of the cultural references in the work of the european poet Guillermo Carnero

Guillaume, Catherine 16 November 2018 (has links)
Le poète européen Guillermo Carnero, dit ‘novísimo’, publie ses premiers poèmes dans l’Espagne du franquisme tardif des années 70 du siècle dernier et se fait alors connaître du grand public par son oeuvre phare Dibujo de la muerte. Auteur de onze livres, il poursuit l’élaboration de son oeuvres piralaire jusqu’au dernier recueil en date, Carta florentina, publié en 2018, tout en conduisant une carrière universitaire en tant que professeur de littérature à l’université d’Alicante. Souffrant d’une réception souvent figée par les figures de réception imposées de l’historiographie littéraire, la signifiance de cette oeuvre, réputée difficile, ne fut que trop rarement mise en évidence malgré la parution d’essais européens. Or, le poète, lecteur et érudit cosmopolite amoureux des arts et des cultures exprime dans sa poésie une intime relation au monde grâce à une relation dialogique avec le référent culturel, qui y occupe une place centrale en tant qu’axe fondateur autour duquel s’articulent l’expression de l’émotion poétique et la réflexion sur la création. L’hybridité constitutive du tissage de l’insaisissable ordonné de cette oeuvre poétique induit chez le lecteur une réception engagée et une itinérance au sein des univers culturels propres à l’auteur. Ainsi se met en oeuvre la médiation humaniste entre le poète et son lecteur grâce à la prégnance du référent culturel mobilisé pour dire l’intime d’un douloureux rapport au monde. Cette médiation humaniste facteur de connaissance de soiest ici conduite hors de toute recherche d’intertextualité mais laisse place à l’écriture de l’émotion à l’oeuvre, saisie dans l’instantanéité des ambivalences d’une insaisissable voix poématique / The European poet Guillermo Carnero, known as 'novísimo', published his first poems in late Franco's Spain in the 1970s and became known to the general public with his flagship work Dibujode la muerte. Author of eleven books, he continues the development of his spiral work until the latest collection, Carta florentina, published in 2018, while conducting an academic career as a professor of literature at the University of Alicante. Suffering from a reception often frozen by the imposed reception figures of literary historiography, the significance of this work, reputed difficult, was only too rarely highlighted despite the publication of European essays. The poet, reader and cosmopolitan scholar inlove with the arts and cultures, expresses in his poetry an intimate relationship with the world through a dialogical relationship with the cultural referent, which occupies a central place there as a founding axis around which are articulated the expression of poetic emotion and reflection on creation. The hybridity that constitutes the weaving of the elusive order of this poetic work induces in the reader a committed reception and a roaming within the author's own cultural universes. Thus the humanist mediation between the poet and his reader is implemented thanks to the influence of the cultural referentmobilized to express the intimacy of a painful relationship with the world. This humanistic mediation, a factor of self-knowledge, is conducted here without any search for intertextuality but leaves room for the writing of emotion at work, captured in the instantaneity of the ambivalences of an elusive poematic voice.

Anställningsbara humanister : En kvalitativ studie om studenternas syn på anställningsbarhet

Kornilova Phersson, Alice January 2012 (has links)
Employable humanists. A qualitative study on humanist students' views on employability. The crisis of the humanities is a controversial debate in the media and within academic settings. Because of lack of request for humanists in the labor market, the question of humanistic skills and employability is becoming increasingly important. The concept of employability importance not only echoes within the economic discussions, but also on everyday agenda in the academic world and takes a large part in the communication between the university and the students. It is therefore important to get answers to the question whether there is conformity in the interpretation of this concept between the university and the students. The aim of this desk study is to examine how the concept of employability has its significance in the academic communication and how the responsibility for employability is portrayed. This is done by studying how the concept of employability is formed and how the responsibilities outlined in texts from Career Center at the University of Umeå, and by comparing study results with the students' perceptions of the concept of employability and responsibility. The study has a qualitative disposition and consists of two main methods: qualitative interviews with focus groups to explore students' views, and critical linguistic analysis of texts with a focus on metaphor analysis and syntax analysis which are also supplemented by the multimodal text analysis. Results of this study indicate that the concept of employability takes a central part of the university’s communication. There are many common starting points in the interpretation of the concept and the responsibility between the university and students. Both the Career Center at Umeå University and students believe that actual knowledge, skills, experience as well as network forms the meaning of the concept of employability, and has a big importance in the student’s position on the job market. However, because the students look at the use of the concept of employability in the texts as acceptance to the social ideological perception of the individual as objects, there is some criticism of the use of the term employability in the university’s communications.

Rolling Out the Transformative Social Economy: A Case Study of Organic Intellectualism in Canadian Settlement Houses

Fong, Melissa 01 January 2011 (has links)
Social economy community development organizations (SECDOs) are social service organizations that provide poverty relief but do not necessarily inspire a counter-hegemonic antipoverty strategy against a neoliberal welfare state. Tension between providing human social services and engaging in advocacy is at the core of how SECDOs may be both complicit to as well as working against the neoliberalization of the welfare state. This study explores how SECDOs can nurture a new paradigm for community economic development organizations. Through a case study of a Canadian settlement house, the research demonstrates how transforming work may encourage a culture of organic intellectualism or, a culture of emancipatory consciousness-raising. By re-organizing workplace practices, such as working collaboratively, providing a hub for services and engaging in popular education, transformative SECDOs help provide the conditions for citizens to affect governance. The research theorizes how SECDOs may foster a culture of organic intellectualism to promote the transformative social economy.
