This study on parent involvement in Early Childhood Development in KwaZulu Natal investigates the experiences of educators and parents of the different types of parent and community involvement as set out in the Epstein typology. In order to investigate this phenomenon a thorough background of the theory and practice of the Epstein model has been provided. In addition the work of other researchers that support the Epstein typology of parent involvement forms an integral part of the discussions. As parent involvement is the key focus of the study, parent involvement in education before and after 1994 are discussed. In this regard relevant educational policy and legislation that are designed to increase the role of parents and the community in Early Childhood Development are highlighted. Parents' role in the provision of Early Childhood Development is explored. The provision of Early Childhood Development in KwaZulu Natal, which provides a backdrop for the investigation, is explained. In addition contextual factors that influence parent involvement in KwaZulu Natal are provided. The research methodology and the research design used in this study are described in detail. By means of a qualitative approach the experiences of a small sample of educators and parents in Early Childhood Development are explored using the six types of parent involvement that include parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home and collaborating with the community as set out in Epstein's comprehensive model. The experiences of educators and parents of Grade R learners of the six types of involvement have been included. Although all schools engage in some form of parent involvement, it is evident that not all schools involve parents in all types of parent involvement to the same extent. The study concludes with recommendations for developing strategies to involve parents more effectively in Early Childhood Development in KwaZulu Natal. / Educational Studies / D. Ed.

This is the first study undertaken into the way in which voluntary workers, untrained in information skills and working in community information services, collect, organise and use the information they provide to assist clients needing it for their day-to-day survival. The study is placed in perspective through a survey of the literature relating to community information services. This is supplemented by a study of documents relating to the Pretoria Citizens' Advice Bureau. Data was collected by means of participant observation at the Pretoria Citizens' Advice Bureau and interviews with voluntary workers in the Bureau. Analysis of the data was carried out according to the grounded theory approach. It was found that untrained volunteers creating information storage and retrieval tools for use by their fellow volunteers, work without a knowledge of information storage and retrieval theory. They tend to make ad hoc decisions and create tools that are not as user-friendly as they could be with some background in the theory of information science. On the other hand, volunteers searching for information make the same kind of demands of the information storage and retrieval system they use as do professional and scientific information users, in that they want direct access to as much relevant information as possible in one place. They want the information repackaged in a manner to suit their purpose. When under pressure, they are reluctant to consult multiple information storage and retrieval tools not within easy reach. The study culminates in a number of recommendations for the improvement of the service of the Pretoria Citizens' Advice Bureau in particular. Recommendations are also put forward for a centralised computerised database providing processed information to community information services in South Africa. Some suggestions are made concerning education and training of volunteers and professional information workers with a view to providing a better understanding of community information services. / Information Science / D.

Cette thèse a pour objet les formes d'adhésion au discours sur les « Créatifs Culturels », saisi comme courroie de transmission dogmatique du « capitalisme vert ». À la croisée de la sociologie de l'engagement, de l'écologie et de l'étude des croyances, la thèse retrace, dans un premier temps, la construction sociale, au sein de la configuration sociale du « capitalisme vert », d'un « mouvement entrepreneurial » réformiste. Apparu au début des années 1990, ce mouvement est engagé dans un travail d'imbrication entre des valeurs New Age et écologiques et d'autres propres au champ économique. Dans un deuxième temps, l’enquête de terrain, qui s'appuie sur la réalisation d'entretiens biographiques auprès d’acteurs engagés dans la diffusion de ce discours, montre comment la mise en pratique de cette idéologie fait l'objet de positionnements sur un continuum allant d'un pôle dogmatique à un pôle utilitariste, ces logiques de sens résultant in fine de socialisations hétérogènes / This thesis deals with the forms of adherence to the discourse on « Cultural Creatives », grasped as a strap of dogmatic transmission of « green capitalism ». At the crossroads of sociology of commitment, ecology and the study of beliefs, the thesis first traces social construction within the social configuration of « green capitalism », of reformist entrepreneurial movement. Appearing in the early 1990s, this movement is engaged in a work of interweaving between New Age values and other ecologies specific to the economic field. In a second phase, the field survey, which is based on the production of biographical interviews with a cast committed to the dissemination of this discourse, shows how the putting into practice of this ideology is the subject of positioning a continuum going from an area of belief to a utilitarian one, resulting in ultimate heterogeneous socialisations

Hälsan och folkhälsan påverkas av allt vi har omkring oss och beror på vilka förutsättningar och möjligheter vi har att ta hand om oss själva och vår omvärld. Jordens resurser är ansträngda, mänsklighetens konsumtionsvanor bidrar till detta och det finns ett allt större behov av att arbeta med hållbarhet. Folkhälsoarbete kan ske på flera plan, i Sverige finns en lång tradition av ideella föreningar och organisationer och dessa har varit speciellt framgångsrika i att engagera människor men även att nå marginaliserade eller utsatta grupper. Food2change är en ideell organisation som arbetar med hållbarhet genom att ta hand om matsvinn från matvarubutiker med hjälp av sina medlemmar och volontärer. Syftet med studien är att undersöka upplevelser av ideellt engagemang i föreningen food2change.  En kvalitativ undersökning har genomförts för att undersöka upplevelser av att vara ideellt engagerad i food2change kopplat till KASAM, socialt stöd och social kognitiv teori. Datainsamlingen skedde genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och en manifest innehållsanalys genomfördes. Resultaten visar att det finns olika drivkrafter till att vara engagerad i föreningen samt att effekter som upplevs av ideellt engagemang i föreningen är känsla av meningsfullhet, tillgång till rutin och struktur, möjlighet till utökade sociala relationer och känsla av delaktighet men även viss risk för stress vid hög arbetsbelastning vilka alla kan ha påverkan på hälsan.

This study explores the construction of the orphanage child and the helper in the context of voluntourism, orphanage tourism, support and establishment of orphanages. Since residential care is rarely put forward as a “good solution” for children without parental care in Sweden or other Western countries, the purpose of this study is to understand how orphanages for children from the South are legitimised as a solution in narratives about the helpers and the orphans. Through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) I have studied the widespread narrative about the helper and the orphan and its relation to larger global development strands, such as neo-liberal discourses, post-colonial discourses and globalization discourses. The study found that the narratives about the helper and the orphanage child are constructed in a way that reinforces stereotypes about the active, caring helper from the global North and the passive and needy yet happy orphanage child from the South. The underlying assumption in the testimonials and stories about the helper is that there are no other options and that the orphanage placement is in the best interest of the child
