Frank C. Laubach made substantial contributions both to literacy education and the Christian life. There were between sixty and one hundred million people who learned to read through his literacy campaigns. He traveled to 130 countries developing literacy primers in 312 languages. At the same time, Laubach was a missionary mystic, spiritual experimenter and leader among Protestant Christians. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between two important parts of Laubach's life: his Christian development and literacy education. The study presents an overview of the family and social background of Frank C. Laubach from a chronological framework. Additional chapters examine: the importance of i-he Christian disciplines in Laubach's life, the impact of the missionary call and Laubach's concern for Christian social responsibility. The final chapter summarizes and evaluates the research. Both the Laubach collection, found in the George Arents Research Library at Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York, and the library at Laubach Literacy International in Syracuse, provided the resources for comprehensive research in the life of Frank C. Laubach.

The purpose of this investigation is to analyze critically the production process of descriptions written in order to verify its incidence in the development of the language capacities in the educating of the Itagüí municipality. The investigation is located in the perspective of the quasi experimental investigation-action because the data were picked up during a formation process of educating with the control of some variables. The corpus is constituted by 26 descriptive texts, 13 initial versions and 13 final versions, whose analysis was carried out starting from the capacities implied in the understanding and/or production of a text. The theoretical references assumed for the apprehension of the study object are based on the advances of the textual linguistics, the social interaction psychology, the pedagogy and the didactics of languages. The finding results, as well as the discussion and interpretation of them, show the changes in the productions of the educating ones and the capacities implied on them: action capacities or production context, discursive capacities, linguistic-discursive capacities and capacities referred to the micro linguistic universe. The conclusions, highlight the advances achieved in the final versions of the descriptions, to level of the macro and micro linguistic universes, as well as the lacks that still remain in the educating ones in those same levels and possible rules to overcome them / A Corporação Educativa CLEBA tem assumido o enfoque da Pedagogia do Texto (PdT) para adiantar processos educativos, incluída a formação de educadoras; no entanto, até o momento no se conhecem de maneira sistemática, os aportes realizados pelo estudo dos diferentes gêneros textuais no desenvolvimento das capacidades de linguagem das educadoras. O propósito da pesquisa é analisar com crítica o processo de produção de descrições escritas com a finalidade de verificar sua incidência no desenvolvimento das capacidades de linguagem nas educadoras do município de Itagüí. A pesquisa localiza-se na perspectiva da pesquisa-ação quase-experimental, pois os dados foram recolhidos durante um processo de formação de educadoras com o controle de algumas variáveis. O corpus está constituído por 26 textos descritivos, 13 versões iniciais e 13 versões finais, cuja análise realizou-se desde as capacidades implicadas na compreensão e/ou produção de um texto. As referências teóricas assumidas para a apreensão do objeto de estudo baseiam-se nos avanços da lingüística textual, na psicologia sócio-interacionista, na pedagogia e na didática de línguas. Os resultados encontrados, assim como a discussão e interpretação dos mesmos, mostram os câmbios nas produções das educadoras e as capacidades implicadas nas mesmas: capacidades de ação ou contexto de produção, capacidades discursivas, capacidades lingüístico-discursivas e capacidades referidas ao micro universo lingüístico. As conclusões, por seu lado, ressaltam os avanços obtidos nas versões finais das descrições, no nível do macro e micro universos lingüísticos, assim também as carências que ainda permanecem nas educadoras nesses mesmos níveis e possíveis pautas para superar-las

This research surveys the Swiss missionaries' management of social transformation in South Africa (1873-1976). It has as its major focus the management of schools, hospitals and churches as the primary institutions of social change in society. The researcher's realisation that more often than not, the changes brought to bear on proselytes by the change forces take time to manifest themselves vividly induced him to extend the scope to include the dawn of the new political dispensation in this country in 1994. This need not surprise the readership as the triadic approach, which is synonymous with historial analyses compels researchers to avail readers of what happened in the past, present as well as what is likely to occur in future. In other words, readers will encounter the ethnic nationalism engineered by different change agents in this country and the repercussions thereof, and the schism within the Swiss Mission in South Africa/Evangelical Presbyterian Church in South Africa that started in 1989 and became reality by 1991. Finally, the thesis also appraises readers of what should be done in periods of rapid social change. / Educational Studies / D. Ed. (History of Education)
