Die invloed van leerderdissipline op onderrig in openbare skole / Y. PretoriusPretorius, Yolandie January 2008 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence discipline has on teaching at public schools. In chapter 2 of the literature study, the researcher focused on aspects that influence discipline at school. In chapter 3, she also looked at education law aspects that have a direct influence on education. Two structured questionnaires were used in the quantitative research. These questionnaires were distributed separately between educators and learners at nine schools of the Free State Department of Education's Fezile Dabi District. From the findings of this study, it is clear that discipline indeed has an enormous influence on teaching at public schools. The Constitution (1996) and Schools Act (84/1996) make the application of effective discipline at schools possible. / Thesis (M.Ed. (Education Law))--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2008.

Organizing safe on-line interaction and trust in governmental services. A case study of identification channels for public e-services in schoolsS. Gustafsson, Mariana, Wihlborg, Elin January 2013 (has links)
There is an increased use of public e-services integrating citizens into public administration through electronic interfaces. The relation among parents and public schools is a daily and important relation that has to be trustworthy. On-line interaction among public organizations and citizens can be seen as e-government, indeed embedded into daily practices. A safe entry into such systems is essential for security and trust in the e-governmental systems and schools as well as public services in general. This paper addresses how electronic identification has been used for access to public e-services in schools in a Swedish municipality. The aim of the paper is to present a case study on how electronic identification is used and implemented in ICT platforms in schools. The analysis focuses on information security, organization and potential development of the platforms. The main finding in the case study is that there was an un-organized presentation of information in the system; both general and personal information had to be accessed with the same level of security (identification systems). The organization of identification and access to public e-services seemed highly dependent of the organizational structure of the public schools. The more general implication is that safe and well organized identification systems that are considered as trustworthy and useful among citizens are essential for increased use of the services and legitimate public e-services in general. / FUSe: Framtidens säkra elektroniska identifiering – framväxt och användning av e-legitimationer

The impact of ciminal background checks on the selection of school volunteers as reported by human resource professionals of selected Texas public school districtsSmith, Richard Kimball 29 August 2005 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of criminal background
checks on the selection of school volunteers as reported by human resource
professionals in selected Texas public school districts. Ninety Texas school districts
were randomly selected for this study, and results were categorized by the size of the
school district based on student population.
Survey responses were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. A
Chi-square analysis was performed to determine if there were significant differences (p
? 0.05) in responses to research questions based on size of the school district.
Findings in the study included the following:
1. There was no difference in the school district approach to policy and
procedure development based on the size of the school district as it
pertained to criminal background checks of school volunteers.
2. There was no difference in response rate based on the size of the school
district regarding type of offense, number of offenses, adjudication process,
and type of criminal history data search.
3. There was a significant difference (p ? 0.05) in approach between largesized
and small-sized school districts regarding the acceptable timeframe
concerning recency of offense on a volunteer criminal history record.
4. There was no difference in response rate based on the size of the school
district regarding the effectiveness of criminal background check
procedures in eliminating potential volunteers who might pose a threat or
risk to teachers, staff, and students.
The following are recommendations for further study:
1. A similar study could assess the responses from teachers, staff, and/or
students to determine if these different education categories possess
different perceptions regarding the impact of criminal background checks
on school volunteers.
2. A further study could analyze the specific written policies of school districts
and determine the decision criteria for each level of offense.
3. This study focused on school volunteers. A research study could
specifically focus on the impact of criminal background checks on parent
volunteers, or conversely be more general, focusing on the impact of
criminal background checks on professional or auxiliary employees.

Private sector’s role in public school facility planningBennett, Jennifer Lauren 14 November 2013 (has links)
This professional report explores the role of private consultants in the school facility planning process. It focuses on such issues as school siting and local government and school district collaboration. As such, it seeks to demonstrate the importance of the school facility planning process and its significance in the community. The primary data for this report is in-depth interviews with a variety of school facility planning consultants. The questions asked in the interviews were broad and open-ended, and the data was studied qualitatively to determine similar experiences of all interview participants. The conclusion of this report presents key findings from the interviews, as well as from background information on the subject. / text

From desegregation to resegregation : a case study of African American parent understandingsSoria, Hope Michele 29 April 2014 (has links)
The history and challenges regarding segregation, desegregation, and resegregation remain tangible and threatening to public schools today. Public support has shifted away from the gains made during the 1960s-80s through civil rights action and litigation and public policies now reflect a more laissez faire position toward racial and cultural interaction. The political movement of “dismantling desegregation” has been well documented by researchers (Steinberg, 1995; Orfield, 1996; Eaton & Orfield, 1996; Caldas & Bankston, 1998; Orfield & Yun, 1999; Peoples, 2001; Zhou, 2003; Eckes, 2004). But what can be added to the existing body of work is a greater understanding of the voices of those most directly effected by the current trends to resegregate. This study addresses the following questions: How do members of marginalized African American communities understand resegregation and how it will affect their children in public schools? In particular, how do African American parents respond to the educational shifts impacting their children? For the purposes of this qualitative case study, African American parents with school age children are the primary informants. Each participant volunteer responses to a series of interviews relating to educational issues concerning desegregation and resegregation, school quality, student and faculty ethnicity, and racism. Through the use of interviews arranged into four case studies and other data sources (school district records, state statistics, and newspaper articles), a clearer understanding of a marginalized community in a segregated, desegregated, and resegregated African American community is presented. The study offers an analysis of statistical data and a brief summary of case study themes. Six comprehensive findings are examined in the last chapter. Two implications conclude the study. / text
