School belonging : listening to the voices of secondary school students who have undergone managed movesCraggs, Holly January 2016 (has links)
A sense of school belonging has a powerful effect on students' emotional, motivational and academic functioning. This phenomenological research synthesized qualitative literature presenting pupil voice on school belonging, investigated how secondary school-aged students who have undergone a 'managed move' experience belonging, and sought their views on the role stakeholders might play in promoting school belonging for managed move students. The author discusses policy and practice implications and outlines a dissemination strategy. The first paper is an interpretative meta-synthesis involving a process of reciprocal translation and synthesis of seven qualitative studies was used to examine secondary school students' experiences of school belonging. The second paper is an empirical study investigating how secondary school students who have undergone a managed move experience school belonging, and what they feel would promote a sense of school belonging for other managed move students. This research employed purposive sampling, an interpretative case study design and semi-structured phenomenological interviews. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse data. The meta-synthesis (Paper 1) generated four main concepts: school belonging and intersubjectivity; school belonging and knowledge, understanding and acceptance of individual identity; school belonging and experiences of in-group membership and school belonging and safety/security, and the 'higher-order concept' of school belonging as 'feeling safe to be yourself in and through relationships with others in the school setting'. Superordinate themes identified in the empirical study (Paper 2) were 'making friends and feeling safe'; 'feeling known, understood and accepted as a person in receiver school'; 'identification of and support for SEN/D' and 'supportive/unsupportive school practices/protocols'. Findings indicated that a sense of school belonging for these students resulted from positive social relationships with peers and an attendant sense of safety, security and acceptance. Managed move participants expressed the desirability but also the perceived difficulty of forging relationships in a new school and acknowledged the value of sensitive and subtle support.

Custo-aluno e condições tangíveis de oferta educacional em escolas públicas do Distrito Federal : (des)igualdades à flor da peleSilva, Francisco José da January 2010 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho é discutir (des)igualdades entre escolas de duas regiões administrativas do Distrito Federal, tendo como base o custo-aluno e as condições tangíveis de oferta educacional. Custo-aluno é definido como o conjunto de recursos materiais e humanos objetivamente calculados. Condições tangíveis de oferta educacional é definida como o conjunto de recursos materiais e humanos subjetivamente manifestados em sua existência real no cotidiano da escola. A amostra é composta de doze escolas públicas de educação básica (educação infantil; séries iniciais do ensino fundamental; séries finais do ensino fundamental; ensino médio; e educação especial), sendo seis da Região Administrativa de Brasília (RA-Brasília) e seis da Região Administrativa da Samambaia (RA-Samamambaia). Dados foram também coletados de mais duas escolas diferentes, localizadas na RA-Brasília e tidas como custo-adicional à escola (CAE), a saber: Centro de Línguas de Brasília (CLB) e Escola-Parque de Brasília (EPB). Itens de custo incluídos na pesquisa: salário de pessoal (docente e não-docente); material de consumo; material permanente; outros insumos (serviços de terceiros; água/esgoto; energia elétrica; telefone; internet banda larga; e gás GLP); prédio; e terreno. Os dados de salário de pessoal e material permanente foram coletados em cada escola e os demais por meio de documentos oficiais (portarias da Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Distrito Federal; Carta Tributária do Distrito Federal de 2008; relatórios orçamentários de obras de escolas novas). Esta investigação ainda coletou dados por intermédio de observações semi-estruturadas e muitas conversas informais com docentes, não-docentes, alunos e pais de todas as escolas que compõem a amostra de pesquisa. O texto está organizado em cinco capítulos. O primeiro apresenta o conceito de custo e dos vários termos que a ele estão relacionados. O segundo capítulo é referente a uma revisão de literatura sobre custo-aluno no Brasil, no Distrito Federal e nos Estados Unidos da América, em que informações básicas de cada um dos trabalhos são apresentadas, tais como: título; autor(es); tipo de documento (relatório de pesquisa; livro; artigo; dissertação; tese; monografia, etc.); ano (de coleta de dados e de publicação); objetivo(s); insumos considerados; tipo de custo (direto; indireto; direto e indireto, etc.); procedimentos metodológicos; peculiaridades; e principais resultados. Já o terceiro capítulo aborda alguns conceitos de François Dubet, Amartya Sen e John Rawls, e indica possíveis articulações teóricas com os elementos centrais da tese (custo-aluno e condições tangíveis de oferta educacional). O quarto capítulo, por sua vez, expõe de forma detalhada a metodologia. Este capítulo pretende explicar as opções adotadas e a forma como as mesmas foram implementadas, sobretudo no que concerne à coleta de dados. Por fim, o quinto capítulo, em que os dados de custo são apresentados e analisados. Alguns resultados da pesquisa: custo-aluno relativamente elevado em ambas as regiões administrativas; custo-aluno da RA-Brasília mais elevado que o da RA-Samambaia em todas as etapas e modalidades; pobreza dos recursos materiais em ambas as regiões. / The goal of this study is to discuss in(equalities) between public schools from two administrative regions of the Federal District through cost-per-pupil and tangible conditions of education. Cost-per-pupil is defined as the set of material and human resources which are objectively calculated. Tangible conditions are defined as the set of material goods and human resources which area obtained subjectively within the actual school setting. The sample is composed of twelve basic education public schools from kindergarten to high school (preschool; elementary school; intermediate school; middle school; high school; and special education), six schools from the Brasília Administrative Region (AR-Brasília) and six schools from the Samambaia Administrative Region (AR-Samambaia). Data was also collected from two different schools which are located in the AR-Brasília (Brasília Centre of Languages -BCL and Brasília Park School – BPS). The overalls costs of these two schools are defined as additional-cost to school (ACS). Items of cost in this research are: personnel salaries (classroom teachers and all additional staff including professional and nonprofessional support staff); supplies; equipment; others (contracted workers; utility bills [water/sewage; electricity; gas; telephone; broad band internet]); building structure; and land. Personnel salaries and equipment were collected inside each school and all others through official documents/budget review (government guidelines from the Secretary of Education of the Federal District; Land Official Report of the Federal District of 2008; engineering budget reports from new school buildings). This investigation also collected data through semi-structured observations and many informal dialogues with teachers, non-professionals, students, and parents from all sample schools. This study is divided into five chapters. The first chapter presents the concept of cost and terms that are related to it. The second chapter shows a literature review of cost-per-pupil in Brazil, in the Federal District, and in the United States of America in which basic information about each reviewed study are presented, such as: title; author(s); type of publication (research report; book; survey; thesis; dissertation; monograph, etc); year of the data collection and the publication) goal(s); items of cost; type of cost (direct, indirect, etc.); methodological procedures; peculiarities; and main results. The third chapter approaches some concepts from François Dubet, Amartya Sen, and John Rawls, and indicates possible theoretical links with the main categories of this dissertation (cost-per-pupil and the tangible conditions of education). The fourth chapter in turn exposes the methodology in detail. This chapter intends to explain the elected options and their means of implementation, especially those related to data collection. Finally, the fifth chapter, data is presented and analyzed. Some results of this research: the cost-per-pupil is relatively high in both administrative regions; the cost-per-pupil in Brasília is higher than in Samambaia in all levels; deficient material resources are a reality in both regions.

The Deliberate Speed of the Tar Heel State: North Carolina’s Efforts to Resist School Desegregation, 1954-1966Cash, Patrick S 01 August 2014 (has links)
The Deliberate Speed of the Tar Heel State offers readers an examination of the efforts undertaken by North Carolina in hope of resisting public school desegregation between the Brown v. Board decisions of 1954, 1955, and 1966. It will examine the state’s use of a series of legal, legislative maneuvers, The Pupil Assignment Act of 1955 and the Pearsall Plan of 1956, which attempted to show definitive progress to the federal government while simultaneously ensuring the segregated public school system remained intact. By examining the efforts of individuals such as William Umstead, Luther Hodges, Terry Sanford, Thomas Pearsall, and others, this thesis will analyze how North Carolina attempted to use more “moderate” means of resisting federally mandated school desegregation and whether the state was successful in their efforts.

Factors contributing to absenteeism of pupil nurses in the nursing schools of Capricorn District, LimpopoThobakgale, Ellen Mokgobola January 2013 (has links)
Thesis (M.Cur) --University of Limpopo, 2013 / This study was aimed at determining the factors that contributed to absenteeism of pupil nurses in the nursing schools of Capricorn district in Limpopo Province. A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative design was used to describe factors that contributed to absenteeism of pupil nurses in the nursing schools of Capricorn district. The target population consisted of 124 pupil nurses at two nursing schools in the Capricorn district. Ten pupil nurses from one nursing school were used in a pilot study, but for the main study 114 nurses from both nursing schools were sampled. Systematic sampling was used to select 57 pupil nurses who participated in the study. Data were collected by means of a self-developed questionnaire that comprised 24 items on teaching, course content, learning, assessment and social problems. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 18) was used for data analysis. Validity and reliability were ensured by using Cronbach’s test on the pilot study. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Medunsa Research and Ethics Committee, and permission to conduct the study was granted by the Department of Health and Social Development, Limpopo Province. The findings of the study revealed that teaching, course content, learning environment, assessment and social problems were contributory factors to absenteeism of pupil nurses in the nursing schools of the Capricorn district in the Limpopo Province. The study further showed that pupil nurses were absent from classroom and clinical settings due to fear of assessment and attending to social problems. The study recommended the redesigning of nursing education and training in the Capricorn district of the Limpopo Province. The study proposed that appropriate and innovative teaching strategies and support systems be established for pupil nurses.

As cores como fator para expressão emocional em dicromatas e tricomatas / Not informed by the authorMarques, Igor de Oliveira 12 December 2018 (has links)
A visão cores está diretamente ligada às emoções e estas ao sistema nervoso. Respostas de diâmetro pupilar e de rastreamento do olhar são influenciados pelo que vemos. Nesse trabalho foram estudados o comportamento do olhar, por meio do rastreamento do olhar e do diâmetro pupilar em dicromatas e em tricomatas usando como ferramenta de estímulos visuais fotos retiradas do banco de dados do IAPS, além disso foram medidas as reações emocionais desses indivíduos por meio do SAM, em relação às três dimensões das emoções, valência, alerta e dominância. O objetivo foi observar como o conteúdo emocional de imagens pode ser mediado pela cor e provocar reações emocionais nesses indivíduos. Foram comparadas as respostas de 10 indivíduos dicromatas congênitos com as respostas de 10 indivíduos tricomatas. Valência em fotos coloridas são diferentes quando comparamos dicromatas e tricomatas. A dimensões das emoções e os movimentos oculares em fotos positivas coloridas são diferentes entre os dicromatas e tricomatas. Respostas de valência e diâmetro pupilar nas fotos neutras coloridas são diferentes entre dicromatas e tricomatas. Respostas de alerta e valência em fotos negativas são diferentes entre dicromatas e tricomatas. Respostas de rastreamento do olhar são diferentes em dicromatas em relação às fotos positivas. Respostas de valência e alerta são diferentes em dicromatas em relação às fotos neutras. Respostas de dominância, movimentos sacádicos e movimentos não classificados form diferentes nas fotos positivas entre os tricomatas. Resposta de valência nas fotos negativas e nas fotos neutras são diferentes entre os dicromatas e tricomatas. As cores podem ter influência diferentemente na forma como os dicromatas e os tricomatas reagem em relação à estímulos visuais de forma diferente / The color vison is directly linked to emotions e they to the nervous system. Feedback from the pupil diameter and eyetracker are influenced by what we see. In the presente work we studied the eyes behavior by gazing eyetracker and pupil diameter in dichromats and thichromats using as a tool visual stimulus that were taken from the IAPS photos database, and the emotional reactions were measured from these people by using the SAM, in the three dimensions of emotions, valence, arousal and dominance. The aim of this study was to observe how the emotional content of photos can be mediate by colors and provoke emotinal reaction on these people. We compared the answears from 10 trichromats with the answears from 10 congenitol trichromats. The three dimensions of emotions and the eye movements are diferent between dichromats and thricomats in posivite photos. Valence and pupil diameter in colourful neutral photos between dichromat and trichromat are different. Valence and arousal in negative photos are different between dichromat and trichromat. Eyetracking in positive photos are different between dichromat and trichromat. Valence and arousal are different in dichromat regarding the neutral photos. Dominance, saccadic movements and unclassified movements were different in positive photos to the trichromats. Valence in negative and neutral photos are different beetween dichromat and trichromat. The colours can influence differently on the way dichromat and trichromat people react to the visual stimulus

The relationship between pupil control ideology and subject faculties in ACT government high schoolsMyers, Ian, n/a January 1985 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to establish that a
relationship existed between teacher Pupil Control
Ideology (PCI) and membership of a practical subject
faculty or of a humanities subject faculty in ACT
government high schools. It was hypothesized that
teachers in practical subject faculties and teachers
of practical subjects would be custodial in their
PCI. Teachers in humanities subject faculties and
teachers of humanities subjects would be humanistic
in their PCI. A subsidiary purpose was to replicate
earlier research findings of a relationship between
PCI and years of teaching, sex, position in the
school administration, and type of school.
The PCI Form was administered to a population sample
of 116 teachers from five high schools in the Belconnen
area of Canberra. The results were subjected to t-test
and one-way analysis of variance. Statistically
significant relationships were observed between PCI
and teacher variables of subject faculty, subject
taught, and sex of teacher. Earlier findings for other
variables were not replicated.
The direction of findings was surprising. Teachers
in practical subject faculties and of practical
subjects were more humanistic than humanities
faculty and subject teachers. Female teachers were
more custodial than male teachers. An analysis of
variance showed no interaction effect between
variables sex and faculty, and sex and subject taught.
More research on possible causes of the relationships,
such as student attitude to subject, and teacher
sense of achievement, is needed before the findings
can have practical application.

Att bli behandlad som luft : En empirisk studie om elevers uppfattningar av kränkning i skolan / To be treated like you don´t exist : An emperical study about pupils conceptions of violation in schoolJohansson, Jill, Salomonsson, Annette January 2003 (has links)
<p>Denna studies syfte är att få ökad förståelse och kunskap om elevers varierade uppfattningar av fenomenet kränkning i skolan. Studien är kvalitativ, vi vill veta hur elever utifrån sina erfarenheter uppfattar fenomenet kränkning och lyfta fram variationer i uppfattningarna. Studien bygger på semi-strukturerade intervjuer med elever i år sju, åtta och nio. Vi har gjort en fenomenografisk analys av intervjumaterialet, vilket har resulterat i beskrivningskategorier. Vi har funnit tre kategorier i elevers uppfattningar av kränkning, dessa är kränkning som intrång, kränkning som nedvärdering och kränkning som uteslutning. När det gäller elevers uppfattningar av åtgärd vid kränkning har vi funnit tre kategorier, vilka är åtgärd som tillsägning, åtgärd som delegering och åtgärd som ignorering. Slutsatser vi kommit fram till är att avgörande för hur kränkning en uppfattas av eleven är vem som utför den och kränkningens art. Noggrant utarbetade handlingsplaner är en förutsättning för att personal i skolan ska kunna vidta lämpliga åtgärder. Tydliga vuxna som vistas ute bland eleverna skulle kunna minska antalet kränkningar.</p>

Från avkodning till läsförståelse : Läsutveckling utifrån pedagog- och elevperspektivAndersson, Kerstin, Lundgren, Ingegerd January 2005 (has links)
<p>Vår undersökning behandlar läsinlärning och läsförståelse. Utifrån ett pedagog- och elevperspektiv har vi undersökt begreppet läsförståelse, vad det innebär att kunna läsa och förstå text, vilka förutsättningar det kräver och hur lärandet sker kring detta. Vi har som utgångspunkt för vår undersökning använt oss av olika forskningsperspektiv på läsinlärning samt berört olika läsinlärningsmetoder. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med pedagoger och elever har vi undersökt deras uppfattningar om hur man lär sig läsa och vad detta innebär för läsförståelsen. Resultaten har gett oss en insikt i att pedagogen bör vara lyhörd och stödja eleven genom olika verktyg, för att hjälpa eleven i läsutvecklingen. Med det menar vi att det underlättar om pedagog och elev är aktiv i läsinlärningen.</p> / <p>Our investigation treats learning by reading and reading comprehension. On the basis of a pedagogues and a pupils perspective we have investigated the concept of reading comprehension, what it means to know how to read and understand a text, which prerequisite it demands and how learning take place around this. As a starting point to our investigation we have use different research perspectives on learning by reading and touching different learning by reading methods. Through qualitative interviews with pedagogues and pupils we have investigate their understanding about how you learn to read by yourself and what it means for your reading comprehension. The results have given us knowledge of that the pedagogue should be sensitive and support the pupil with different tools, because the pedagogue must help the pupil in their reading evolution. We mean that it would facilitate if pedagogue and pupil are active in learning by reading.</p>
