This study focuses on how the HIV and Aids pandemic affects educators in primary schools and how these educators need to be supported to cope more resiliently with the challenges posed by the HIV/Aids pandemic. This study needed to understand how primary school educators experienced the impact of the HIV/Aids pandemic, both professionally and personally. Educators in general are personally affected by the HIV/Aids pandemic emotionally, physically, spiritually and socially. Affected educators are professionally affected by the HIV/Aids, when they are burdened by a large numbers of orphans in their classes, absenteeism of learners and colleagues, poor performance of both educators and learners, high workload and multiple roles they have to perform. The impacts, both personal and professional, are mostly negative. However, to date no study has focused on the impacts of the pandemic on primary school educators. In this study, a phenomenological design was followed. Interviews were conducted with a carefully recruited sample of participants (i.e. primary school educators affected by the HIV/Aids pandemic either in their families or by having orphans in their classes) in the Vaal Triangle area. The researcher recruited participants by means of snowball sampling. Fifteen affected educators participated in this study. Primary school educators interviewed, noted poor emotional, spiritual, physical and social health. They also reported that they do not cope with their duties as educators effectively. Affected primary school educators are in need of comprehensive support to deal with the HIV/Aids pandemic related stressors from the DoE, SMT's, colleagues and the community at large. Affected educators noted that they need to be supported, by means of team work with colleagues and the community; medical support; amongst others HIV education for learners, educators and parents and practical support and counselling for dealing with difficulties created by the HIV/Aids pandemic. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2009.

This study focuses on the impact of HIV/Aids on secondary school educators who are affected by the HIV/Aids pandemic. The study seeks to understand how the pandemic has impacted on educators and identify support needs of educators affected by HIV/Aids. Many educators are negatively affected by HIV/Aids due to the fact that their family members, loved ones, friends, learners and colleagues may be ill, dying or affected by HIV and Aids. Educators are personally and professionally affected by HIV/Aids. Personally many educators are emotionally, socially, spiritually and physically affected. Professionally many are negatively impacted as educator absenteeism rises, morale is lowered and professional roles become more complex. There are very few avenues of support for educators who are affected by the HIV pandemic. To determine how high school educators are affected and what their subsequent support needs are, this study followed a phenomenological design. Fourteen high school educators were interviewed. All participants taught at township schools in the Free State and were affected by the HIV pandemic. The data were coded with regard to how these educators were affected by the pandemic and what support they wished for. According to this study's findings, educators in township secondary schools in the Free State are personally and professionally affected. Their experiences are mostly negative. They wish for support from the Department of Education, school management, their colleagues and the community. Examples of requested support include training and counselling programmes, supportive attitudes and additional educators so that they might be assisted to cope with the HIV/Aids pandemic challenges. / Thesis (M.Ed.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2009.

Rekreacija – sudėtingas procesas, kuriame tiesiogiai dalyvauja žmogus, siekiantis atgauti fizines jėgas, psichologinę pusiausvyrą, dvasinę emocinę būseną, siekiantis jausti pasitenkinimą, tam tikslui tinkamoje, pritaikytoje, sukurtoje ar specialiai pasirinktoje aplinkoje. Rekreacija – tai ir asmenybės ugdymas. Rinkos pokyčiai, globalizacijos procesai sparčiai besivystančioje visuomenėje lemia, jog vaikui, jo interesų supratimui tenka vis mažiau dėmesio. Nors šeima yra esminis visuomenės elementas ir jai tenka pirminė atsakomybė už vaikų apsaugą, auklėjimą ir vystimąsi, tačiau šeima mūsų šalyje viena nepajėgi sukurti vaikui harmoningų socializacijos sąlygų. Esant tokiai realybei, labai svarbus kitas vaiko socializacijos instituto – mokyklos vaidmuo. Šiame darbe ir bus analizuojama, kokie yra III-IV-tų klasių mokinių rekreacinės veiklos poreikiai ir kaip jie tenkinami, kokie yra laisvalaikio organizavimo ypatumai. Darbo uždaviniai: išsiaiškinti, kaip organizuojamas mokinių laisvalaikis III – IV – klasėse; nustatyti, kiek esamas laisvalaikio organizavimas tenkina III – IV – klasių moksleivius; aptarti, kokių laisvalaikio veiklų pageidautų mokiniai ir jų tėvai; išstudijuoti III – IV – klasių moksleivių, jų tėvų ir mokytojų patirtį, apibūdinant laisvalaikio organizavimo edukacinius ir socialinius aspektus. Darbo hipotezė: šiuolaikinėje mokykloje per mažai rūpinamasi moksleivių laisvalaikio organizavimu, tai yra priemone, skatinančia spartesnį mokinių socializacijos procesą...

Although, a family is an essential element of society and it gets primary responsibility for children protection, education and developing in our country the family is not able to create harmonious conditions of socialization for a child. Consequently on this understanding, the role of school which is another institution of child socialization is very important. The purpose of this work is to ascertain the peculiarities of organisation the recreation activities in III-IV forms. The tasks of work are following: to ascertain how is the recreation activity organised in III-IV forms; to estimate on what level the present organisation of recreation activity satisfies pupils from III-IV forms; to discuss what recreation activity do pupils and their parents want; to study the experience of pupils from III-IV forms, their parents and teachers and at the same time to define the peculiarities of organization the recreational activities. There was given the following hypothesis: in a modern school there is... [to full text]
