The state's inability to promote formal employment to citizens and the dynamics of the market economy led people to fight for their survival. Women with a low education level mostly with incomplete secondary level, they saw no alternative but to devote the informal cross-border trade - mukhero, which has its own characteristics such as less paperwork, flexible hours and no academic requirement for carrying out the work. The increased participation of women in this activity is due to its competitive advantage in this business. They are more patient, have greater bargaining power with government officials and also easily consent abuses and humiliations by customs agents. The consent of abuse and humiliation are part of the strategy to circumvent high tariffs and hence, ensure a significant margin of profit. All strategies of this type of trade can only be understood in the light of the frontier ethos. Today cross-border informal trade is growing at zone level south as Mozambique can ensure the survival of families and contribute to the socio-economic empowerment of women. The Mozambican state timidly already concerned with this sector in order to better organize it to allow more funding from tax revenues.

This study is an examination and evaluation of the outcomes of a series of courses that I helped build to create a graduate certificate. Specifically, I wanted to evaluate whether or not the online iteration of the Informal Science Institutions Environmental Education Graduate Certificate Program truly provided the long term professional development needed to enhance the skills of the formal and informal educators participating so that they could contribute meaningfully to the improvement of science literacy in their respective communities. My role as an internal evaluator provided an extraordinary opportunity to know the intent of the learning opportunities and why they were constructed in a particular fashion. Through the combination of my skills, personal experiences both within the certificate’s predecessor and as an educator, I was uniquely qualified to explore the outcomes of this program and evaluate its effectiveness in providing a long-term professional development for participants. After conducting a literature review that emphasized a need for greater scientific literacy in communities across America, it was evident that the formal education enterprise needs the support of informal educators working on the ground in myriad different settings in ways that provide science as both content and process, learning science facts and doing real science. Through a bridging of informal science educators with formal teachers, it was thought each could learn the culture of the other, making each more fluent in accessing community resources to help make these educators more collaborative and able to bridge the classroom with the outside world. This bridge promotes ongoing, lifelong learning, which in turn can help the national goal of greater scientific literacy. This study provided insight into the thinking involved in the learners’ growth as they converted theory presented in course materials into practice. Through an iterative process of reviewing the course generated content, I was able to piece through the many layers of this two year long program to examine the growth of these individuals over time. While all participants showed growth completing the certificate program, those who could fully invest themselves in the experiences seemed to have gained the most. These cases indicate the Informal Science Institutions Environmental Education Graduate Certificate Program was effective at enhancing the careers of formal and informal science educators. Additionally, it suggests informal science educators, although busy with their professional obligations and personal lives, can be successful in a formal graduate program designed to meet ISE needs as explicated in Learning Science in Informal Environments: People, Places, and Pursuits (Bell, Lewenstein, Shouse, & Feder, 2009). The emergent model indicating connections among a person’s personal life, professional life, and graduate study may also have implications for other professionals desiring to enroll in graduate school. For example, science teachers in university graduate programs may also benefit from applying this model to their lives.

Nine interviews were conducted with the goal of understanding these relations and try ing to identify behaviors that are similar or can be recognized as representative of one or more consumer facets presented by Gabr iel and Lang (2006). The data were collected f rom in - depth interviews and analyzed according to technical content analysis (BARDIN, 2011). The subjects, nine street vendor consumers , were interviewed from January to March, 2013, their ages range between 22 - 34 years old . The findings indicate that stre et vendor consumers are informed and are aware of the advantages and risks involved in this market. Furthermore, a strong presence of different emotions and feelings are noticed when purchasing from street vendors. It can be concluded that the street vendo r consumer can have different behaviors, sometimes simultaneously, that represent one or more facets from the nine presented by Gabriel and Lang (2006). / O presente trabalho analisa as relações de consumo envolvidas em compras em camelôs na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Com o objetivo de compreender essas relações e tentar identificar comportamentos que se assemelham e que possam ser reconhecidos como representantes de uma ou mais facetas apresentadas por Gabriel e Lang (2006), foram entrevistados nove indivíduos. Os dados foram coletados a partir de entrevistas em profundidade e analisados através da técnica da análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2011). Os nove consumidores de camelôs foram entrevistados no período de janeiro a março de 2013 e possuem idades que variam de 22 a 36 anos. Os resultados demonstram que os consumidores de camelô são informados e sabem os riscos e vantagens desse mercado. Além disso, foi possível perceber a forte presença de diferentes emoções e sentimentos envolvidos na hora da compra. Dessa forma, foi possível concluir que o consumidor de camelôs pode ter comportamentos, inclusive de maneira simultânea, que representem uma ou mais facetas das nove propostas por Gabriel e Lang (2006).

This thesis examines how drama facilitators adapt and assess their praxis so that it can be applied effectively in different learning contexts. This research analyses the good praxis of established facilitators with comparatively little documentation to disseminate their approaches. MED Theatre, Magic Carpet, the Shakespeare Schools Festival and West Exe Technology College employ facilitators who adopt a personalised approach to their praxis, transitioning across the spectrum of formal and informal learning to engage a diverse range of learners. The concepts of formal and informal learning are defined at the outset and the particular problems they can present drama facilitators are contextualised. Finding the right tools and assessment procedures is a significant challenge in a pedagogic landscape characterised by conflicting theories, a broad range of learner needs, and multiple perceptions of what actually counts as evidence of learning to justify praxis. With an increasing number of facilitators sustaining themselves by operating within a variety of learning settings there is an emerging need to identify what skills, knowledge and considerations support the process of becoming this kind of extended professional. Initiating my investigation, I explore how the role of a drama facilitator has emerged through movements in the fields of education, Community Theatre and the arts in Chapter One. The main pedagogic theories and approaches to assessment that a drama facilitator must engage with to personalise praxis are presented in Chapter Two. Supporting the development of this expanding field of praxis, the four case studies analysed illustrate how facilitators have sustained careers as extended professionals whilst negotiating educational policy, different learners, and assessment criterion. This thesis contributes to the argument for sustaining and developing links between formalised learning and informal social learning. I challenge the competitive perception of system-centred and learner-centred approaches, re-framing them as inter-related processes in cases of good practice. Finally, I identify how facilitators are attempting to forge further community links, interrogating how this emerging field 4 may be developed by drama facilitators who share a commitment to developing the quality of learning opportunities offered in the UK.

Trabajo de suficiencia profesional / En la investigación realizada se determinó que era relevante y conveniente investigar el Nivel de Cultura Tributaria en la ciudad de Chiclayo. La hipótesis planteada asumía que si existiera un mayor nivel de Cultura Tributaria en los comerciantes de la ciudad de Chiclayo, entonces ayudaría a mejorar la recaudación Pasiva de la Región - 2012. Se tomó en cuenta como objetivo general, determinar el nivel de cultura tributaria en los comerciantes de la ciudad de Chiclayo en el periodo 2012, y como objetivos específicos, describir la situación actual en materia tributaria de los comerciantes, determinar el motivo por el cual los comerciantes no pagan sus tributos y determinar si perciben que sus impuestos están siendo correctamente utilizados. El trabajo científico fue respaldado por los aportes de las Teorías de la Tributación, Teoría de la Disuasión y la Teoría de Eheberg. La investigación se considera relevante desde el punto de vista científico porque la recaudación pasiva es muy importante en una nación ya que los tributos son trasladados al Estado, luego son retornados bajo la forma de servicios y obras públicas. Sin embargo, no todos los contribuyentes son conscientes de esta situación y no son pocos los que se valen de acciones ilícitas para no pagar impuestos. Dentro de las conclusiones más importantes se señala que con este estudio ha quedado evidenciado, que el contribuyente Chiclayano no lleva arraigada su obligación del pago del tributo como algo inherente a su ciudadanía, y que el nivel de cultura tributaria en los comerciantes de la ciudad de Chiclayo en el periodo 2012 es bajo.
