Haveric, Dzavid. "History of the Bosnian Muslim Community in Australia: Settlement Experience in Victoria." Thesis, full-text, 2009. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/2006/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the settlement experience of the Bosnian Muslims in Victoria. Overall this research exploration takes places against background of the history of the immigration to Australia. The study covers migration patterns of Bosnian Muslims from post World War 2 periods to more recent settlement. The thesis provides contemporary insights on Bosnian Muslims living in a Western society such as Australia. The thesis excavates key issues about Islam and the Muslim communities in Western nations and argues that successful settlement is possible, as demonstrated by the Bosnian Muslim community. By adopting a socio-historical framework about settlement, the thesis reveals the significant, interconnected and complex aspects of the settlement process.
Settlement of immigrants takes place within global, historical, economic, political, social and cultural elements of both the sending and receiving countries. Thus any study of settlement must examine theories and concepts on migration, settlement, religion, culture, integration and identity. The purpose for migration, the conditions under which migration takes place, the conditions of immigrant reception are fundamental in the context of Australia. Furthermore, Australia since the 1970s has adopted a policy of multiculturalism which has changed settlement experiences of immigrants. These elements are strongly analysed in the thesis both through a critical conceptual appraisal of the relevant issues such as migration, multiculturalism and immigration and through an empirical application to the Bosnian Muslim community.
The theoretical element of the study is strongly supported by the empirical research related to settlement issues, integration and multiculturalism in Victoria. Through a socio-historical framework and using a ‘grounded theory’ methodological approach, field research was undertaken with Bosnian Muslim communities, Bosnian organizations and multicultural service providers. In addition, historical data was analysed by chronology. The data provided rich evidence of the Bosnian Muslims’ settlement process under the various governmental policies since World War 2.
The study concluded that the Bosnian community has successfully integrated and adapted to the way of life in Australia. Different cohorts of Bosnian Muslims had different settlement patterns, problems and issues which many were able to overcome. The findings revealed the contributions that the Bosnian Muslim community has made to broader social life in Australia such as contribution to the establishment of multi-ethnic Muslim communities, the Bosnian Muslim community development and building social infrastructure. The study also concluded that coming from multicultural backgrounds, the Bosnian Muslims understood the value of cultural diversity and contributed to the development of Australian multiculturalism and social harmony.
Overall conclusion of this research is that the different generations of Bosnian Muslims are well-integrated and operate well within Australian multiculturalism.

A high school administrator writes a history of a Boston urban high school of 1000 students. The educational history looks back through 50 years of neighborhood changes, civil rights, school desegregation, busing, bilingual and special education legislation, standards-based reform, and school restructuring. In 1950, Dilmotte High School was an acceptable secondary school; in 2000, the school was on the critical list with the Department ofEducation with low MCAS scores (the state-wide exit test) and the highest dropout rate of any large comprehensive high school in the Commonwealth. The history is reconstructed from document and record searches, alumni surveys, and interviews; the author was a participant-observer in the school for the last 5 years. The history traces six major themes: 1. School demography - changes in enrollments of various racial and ethnic groups, bilingual and special education students, and the struggle for equal education. 2. Buildings and budgets- facilities conditions, improvements, 3. Teaching and learning - including teaching, curriculum, tracking, ability grouping, mainstreaming and inclusion, vocational education, standards, dropout rates, and graduation rates 4. Leadership- changes in educational administration, leadership style, responsibilities and size of the administrative team; professional development, impact of central administration, superintendent, school committee, and state department of education. 5. Partnerships - the evolving nature of partnerships; how partnerships shaped the agenda of the school; government school relationships; parent school relationships. 6. School Culture- changes in school climate, character, ethos, and culture. Analysis is based in part on the conceptual frameworks of Michael Fullan, Karen Seashore Louis and Matthew Miles, and Frederick Hess. Conclusions address the paucity of educational history, the failure to learn from history, changes in educational administration at the secondary school level, the growing engagement of school partners, the value of teamwork and teacher leadership, policy chum, conflicting educational objectives, and the failure of professional development. Effects on school climate and culture are addressed; Dilmotte never reached a culture of achievement. The failure to define core values in education is targeted as a fundamental problem.

Full textAbstract:
In the fall of 1956 Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee became the first public school in the south to desegregate. This paper examines how the quiet southern town handled the difficult task of forced integration while maintaining a commitment to the preservation of law and order. As the strength of a community was being tested, ordinary citizens in extraordinary circumstances met the challenges of integration with exceptional courage.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Dennis L. ShirleyThis research study is a historical analysis of Boston school desegregation viewed through the lens of Black Bostonians who gave rise to a Black Education Movement. Its purpose is to place Boston’s school desegregation history in a markedly different context than many of the narratives that evolved since Morgan v. Hennigan (1974). First, it provides a historical connection between the 18th and 19th century long road to equal schooling and the 20th century equal educational opportunity movement, both led by Black activists who lived in Boston. Second, it provides a public space for the voices of 20th century activists to tell their accounts of schooling in Boston. The narrators in this study attended Boston public schools and became leaders and foot soldiers in the struggle to dismantle a racially segregated school system. Ten case studies of Boston’s Black activists provide the foundation for this study. They recount, through oral history, a community movement whose goal was to save children attending majority Black schools from a system that was destroying them. Two theoretical perspectives, Critical Race Theory and Resiliency, inform the research design and findings. The findings shed light on agency from within the Black community, what changes were expected in the schools, the range of views regarding the intent of desegregation, and how systemic racism was the force that drove this community to dismantle a system that violated the 14th Amendment rights of Black students

Coffey, Anne M. "A comparative study of controversy in the education systems of Western Australia, Victoria and New Zealand: Community participation in government schools 1985-1993." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 1998. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1001.
Full textAbstract:
The release of Better Schools in Western Australia: A Programme for Improvement (1987), in line with other public sector agency reforms; contained a prescription for the restructuring of the Education Department of Western Australia from 11 bureaucratic to a corporate management system of school administration. These changes were intended to render the education system, and especially schools more flexible, responsive and accountable. Among the proposals for educational restructuring was a new opportunity for community participation through ''school based decision making groups." Contemporaneously, the education systems in Victoria and New Zealand were undergoing similar reforms. The research agenda for this thesis is based on two questions. The first research question is: In what ways did the reforms conducted by the governments in Western Australia, Victoria and New Zealand change the participation of the school community in school decision making in state schools during the period 1985-1993? The extent to which the new organisational structures, based upon corporate management, facilitated the admission of the school community into the school decision making process is investigated. In order to facilitate the analysis of policy, this thesis develops a conceptualisation of the notion of controversy. The controversy framework involves the investigation of a number of elements of a controversy - stimulus, context, events, issues, arguments, protagonists, constraints, consequences and closure. The use of this framework is intended to assist in educational policy analysis by highlighting and elaborating upon the interdependent elements, including power relationships, involved in educational policy formulation and implementation. The second research question is: How effective is controversy as a framing device for educational policy analysis? The adequacy of “controversy” as a framing device is evaluated at the conclusion of the thesis. In order to investigate the research problems a variety of data was gathered and analysed. Scrutiny of the major Government and Education Department policy documents us well as a review of literature such as journals, books, newspapers, and documents produced by organisations such as teacher unions, was undertaken. In the case of Western Australia face-to-face interviews were conducted. A series of video-taped interviews with major actors in the controversy in Western Australia was also used in the data gathering process. The data was then systematically ordered using the controversy framework which enabled comparison of the controversies in Western Australia, Victoria and New Zealand. The conclusions drawn focus upon the manner in which corporate management and genuine democratic community participation are antipathetic. Despite rhetoric to the contrary, the school community was unable to exert meaningful influence upon the direction being charted for government schools. As a framing device for educational policy analysis it is concluded that controversy, at this preliminary stage, appears to have merit end further use and refinement of this framework is recommended.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the considerable significance of publicly funded education in the making of Australian society, state school histories are few in number. In comparison, most corporate and private schools have cemented their sense of community and tradition through full-length publications. This history attempts to redress this imbalance. It is an important social history because this school, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School can trace its origins back to 1905, to the very beginnings of state secondary education when the Melbourne Continuation School (MCS), later Melbourne High School (MHS) and Melbourne Girls' high School (MGHS) was established. Since it is now recognised that there are substantial state, regional and other differences between schools and their local communities, studies of individual schools are needed to underpin more general overviews of particular issues. This history, then, has wider significance: it traces strands of the development of girls' education in Victoria, thus examining the significance and dynamics of single-sex schooling, the education of girls more generally, and, importantly, girls' own experiences (and memories of experiences) of secondary schooling, as well as the meaning they made of those experiences. 'Girls, Education and Empowerment: A History of The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School 1905-2005', departs from traditional models of school history writing that tend to focus on the decision-makers and bureaucrats in education as well as documenting the most 'successful' former students who have made their mark in the world. Drawing on numerous narrative sources and documentary evidence, this history is organised thematically to contextualise and examine what is was like, and meant, to be a girl at this school (Melbourne Continuation School 1905-12; Melbourne High School 1912-27; Melbourne Girls' High School 1927-34, and Mac.Robertson Girls' High School from 1934) during a century of immense social, economic, political and educational change.

Full textAbstract:
Seeking to fill a gap in the historiography, this study provides a closely-observed but contextualised social history of Scotland’s rural schools from the late nineteenth century through to the end of the twentieth century. Though particularly concerned with the period following the Education (Scotland) Act, 1872, consideration is given to earlier developments to ensure a depth of understanding and an appreciation of the subtleties of local experience. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, and combining qualitative and quantitative analysis, the thesis draws together three layers of research: a detailed regional case study of the Highland Perthshire parishes of Fortingall, Kenmore and Killin; a quasi-random sample of sixty-six rural districts from across Scotland; and a national overview. In doing so, it challenges oft-made generalisations about rural life and provides a more nuanced picture of change and continuity in educational policy and practice across Scotland. Focusing in on the relationship between the small rural schools and their communities, the social dimensions of educational provision are explored in depth with special attention being paid to who taught, attended and supported the schools, and how they operated as educational and social spaces. To frame and guide discussion, three core themes – gender, culture and citizenship – are explored throughout and elements of social theory are drawn on to aid analysis and interpretation.

Full textAbstract:
“Creating Community in Isolation: The History of Corpus Christi’s Molina Addition, 1954-1970” examines the history of the Molina Addition in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas, and its serving district, the West Oso Independent School District, from 1954 to 1970. Specifically, this essay begins with an analysis of the elite-driven campaign to annex the blighted Molina Addition in September and October 1954. The city intended to raze the neighborhood and develop middle-class homes in place of the newly annexed neighborhood. Following the annexation of the Molina Addition, African American and ethnic Mexican residents initiated protracted struggles to desegregate and integrate schools that served their area, the West Oso Independent School District, as detailed in the chapter, “The West Oso School Board Revolution.” The chapter examines the electoral “revolution” in which Anglo rural elites were unseated from their positions on the school board and replaced by African American and ethnic Mexican Molina Addition residents. The third chapter, “Building Mo-Town, Texas,” focuses on residents’ struggle to install indoor plumbing, eliminate pit privies, construct paved roads, and introduce War on Poverty grants to rehabilitate the neighborhood. This chapter also offers a glimpse into the social life of Molina youth during the 1960s.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to explore how the imagined Chinese community, as the nation of Taiwan, was created and recreated between 1949 and 2011, to become the Taiwanese community. The theoretical concept of the ‘imagined community’, which is interconnected with the concepts of ‘invented tradition’ and ‘banal nationalism’, has been used to suggest a sociological interpretation of the transformation of people’s self-identification from ‘Chinese’ to ‘Taiwanese’, as a kind of reflection of the changing nation of post-war Taiwan. The social phenomenon of Taiwan residents’ changing self-identification raises a key concern, namely, has the nature of the nation in Taiwan changed? Junior and senior high school history textbooks (1949 to 2011), which can be regarded as representing the officially invented history, were used as resources, and analysed together with data gathered during interviews with twenty-five history teachers, who had not been screened for age or ethnic differences. The history textbooks provided content for a case study, comparable to that of the theoretical concept of the ‘invented tradition’. This could be regarded as ‘banal nationalism’, through which the life environment is subtly shaped and reshaped to become the ‘imagined community’, namely, the ‘national’ environment. The interviews with teachers were intended to help the researchers understand how the content in history textbooks had been taught, in order to explain how, or whether, the society undermined or reinforced the officially structured ‘imagined Taiwanese community’. The two approaches – one of which could be regarded as a top-down power, while the other could be considered as a social force – jointly provided the research framework and a perspective consistent with the changing social phenomenon of the increasing ‘Taiwanese’ identity among members of the population. This study concluded that ‘Taiwan’ has been produced and reproduced from the local identification to the national. The research results show that the meaning of ‘China’ and ‘Taiwan’ changed during three time periods: from the 1950s to the late 1980s, from the 1990s to the 2000s, and from the 2000s to 2010 and later. Through this process, mainland China and Taiwan were identified as one Chinese nation-state, beginning in the 1950s to the late 1980s, as one nation but two states, from the 1990s to the early 2000s, and finally, as two nation-states, from the early 2000s to 2010 and later. This research explored how ‘Taiwan’, an ‘imagined community’, has been shaped over time. Teachers further manifested ‘Taiwan’ as an explicit concept of national identity by providing other examples, in addition to the content in textbooks, and noting distinctions between ‘China’ and ‘Taiwan’. Theoretical logic is coherent with this empirical investigation, and this study provided the perspective to interpret how the state worked as a top-down force cooperating with society’s bottom-up perseverance, to invent ‘Taiwanese’ national history, through which the national identity of Taiwan was manifested.

Full textAbstract:
As the number of Islamic institutions increases in America, the need for greater understanding of the Muslim community, and the challenges faced by this minority, increases as well. This project seeks to provide such knowledge by exploring one of these rapidly growing institutions founded and funded by Muslims, private Islamic schools. Absent from media and literature is an understanding of Islamic schools and the experiences of youth as their attendees. This project addresses this gap through an ethnographic focus on female students at one Islamic school. Data was collected via interviews, focus groups, observation, and participant observation. This student-centered approach provides qualitative insight on the perspectives of Muslim girls on identity, schooling, and community in order to foster greater understanding of the mission, social function, and practices of Islamic schools.

Broderick, Colleen N. "“This Is Seattle”: Parents Involved In Community Schools And The Grassroots Fight Against Busing." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2014. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/411.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses an historical lens to understand the political development of desegregation law since Brown, which demonstrates that local policies are produced by Supreme Court precedent. However, school districts and community members also create conditions in which the Supreme Court rules on integration law. Examining the history of segregation in Seattle and the efforts of integration (or efforts against it) illuminates the trajectory of civil rights. Claims once used to integrate black school children became a defense for white children to attend, inevitably, white neighborhood schools, due to the lingering effects of housing segregation.
Seattle’s desegregation policies depended upon the city’s local conditions and the Board’s strategy reflected national trends dictated by the Supreme Court’s decisions. In turn, Seattle’s local policies affected the Supreme Court’s decision regarding school integration in 2007. The local conditions surrounding many of Seattle parents’ fight against mandatory school assignment plans based on race in 2007 could not have been accomplished without the historical precedent against busing established by liberal, anti-busing groups during the 1970s and 1980s.

Full textAbstract:
Rural students are underrepresented in higher education in Australia. At the same time, the workforce is rapidly transforming with the integration of digital processes into everyday work and life. Rural students are less digitally competent than urban students. Queensland, a largely regionalised state, has a high percentage of rural students. Using cultural capital as a framework, this research identifies family, community, school and digital media as influences on rural Queensland students' decisions to pursue higher education and their perceived value of digital media. Family plays the most significant role in the decision making process, while students' community and school also influence decisions and perceptions. Students' value of digital media depended somewhat on their intended career choice. Findings provide valuable new data around student influences towards higher education and digital media and suggest avenues to improve outreach programs targeting students in rural areas.

Full textAbstract:
O presente estudo teve o propósito de narrar a história do Colégio Regina Coeli, nos anos de 1948 a 1980, localizado em Veranópolis, buscando analisar as motivações e possíveis transformações decorrentes da passagem de uma escola confessional para uma comunitária, atentando para as culturas escolares. A escolha do recorte temporal está relacionada a fatos importantes, sendo demarcado o ano de 1948 para o início do estudo, pois foi neste ano que a escola passou a denominar-se Regina Coeli, com a inauguração do prédio construído especificamente para o colégio. A data limite de 1980 foi determinada levando-se em consideração dados sobre a direção da escola, que depois de ter passado da condição de confessional católica para comunitária, em 1969, continuou sendo administrada por Irmãs de São José até o ano de 1976. A partir de 1977, passou a ser dirigida por leigos, tendo tido dois diretores até 1980. Considerando essa delimitação, para a construção da narrativa, analisaram-se as culturas escolares, no que diz respeito aos espaços, aos sujeitos e aos saberes escolares. Pautada nos pressupostos teóricos da História Cultural, utilizou-se como metodologia a análise de documentos, referentes ao Colégio Regina Coeli, e a história oral, através de entrevistas com sujeitos que participaram da instituição de ensino objeto dessa pesquisa. Os documentos dizem respeito às atas de reuniões, ao “Relatório da verificação para efeito da concessão de „inspeção preliminar‟ Ginásio Regina Coeli”, às fotografias, aos livros de matrículas e aos jornais. As entrevistas foram realizadas com dois ex-diretores, duas Irmãs de São José (uma ex-professora e uma ex-aluna) e duas ex-alunas, que atuaram também como professoras na escola. A narrativa foi organizada em cinco capítulos, iniciando com as considerações iniciais, onde se detalha o processo de pesquisa, apresentando os objetivos e a metodologia adotada para a realização do estudo. Em seguida, apresenta-se um breve contexto histórico e educacional de Veranópolis, apontando aspectos do desenvolvimento social, político, cultural, econômico e educacional. Na sequência são narrados aspectos da cultura escolar do Colégio Regina Coeli, referente aos sujeitos, espaços e saberes, no período em que a escola, com o estatuto de confessional católica, era administrada pelas Irmãs de São José, compreendendo o período de 1948 a 1969, mas citando também aspectos do período anterior, de 1917 a 1947, em que a escola denominava-se São José. Depois, abordam-se as motivações e o processo de transição de estatuto da escola, de confessional católico para comunitário, bem como aspectos das culturas escolares em relação aos sujeitos, espaços e saberes escolares do período de 1969 a 1980. Para concluir, são expostas as considerações finais, que permitem compreendem que as transformações nas culturas escolares do Colégio Regina Coeli, decorrentes da transição de estatuto de escola confessional católica para comunitária, foram graduais, pois as Irmãs continuaram no Colégio Regina Coeli até o ano 2000, momento em que foram observados maiores tensionamentos. Diante dos resultados obtidos e da narrativa construída, evidencia-se a importância dessa pesquisa para a comunidade veranense e para os estudos na área da história da educação.Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-30T12:29:32Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Marina Matiello.pdf: 5675507 bytes, checksum: 8ce21f2fc3e08bd32d64214be3921691 (MD5)

The present study aimed to tell the history of Regina Coeli School, in the years 1948 to 1980, located in Veranopolis, seeking to analyze the motivations and possible changes resulting from the transition of a confessional school for a community school, noting the school cultures. The choice of time frame is related to important facts, which marked the year 1948 for the beginning of the study, it was this year that the school was renamed to Regina Coeli, with the inauguration of the building built specifically for school. The date of 1980 was determined taking into account data about the school board, which after changing the condition of catholic confessional to community in 1969, kept being administrated by the Sisters of São José by the year 1976. From 1977, it began to be directed by lays, having two directors until 1980. Considering this delimitation, for the construction of the narrative, it was analyzed the school cultures, regarding the spaces, the subjects and school knowledge. Guided the theoretical principles of Cultural History, it was used as methodology the documental analysis, referring to Regina Coeli School, and oral history through interviews with people who participated in the educational institution object of this research. The documents relate to the meeting minutes, the "Verify Report for effect of concession of „preliminary inspection' Gym Regina Coeli", photographs, registration books and newspapers. Interviews were conducted with two former principals, two Sisters of São José (a former teacher and a former student) and two former students, who also acted as teachers in school. The narrative is organized into five chapters, starting with the initial considerations, which details the research process, presenting the objectives and methodology adopted for the study. Then, it presents a brief historical and educational background of Veranópolis, pointing aspects of social, political, cultural, economic and educational development. Following are narrated aspects of school culture of Regina Coeli School, referring to the subjects, spaces and knowledges, in the period in which the school, with the status of Catholic confessional, was administered by the Sisters of São José, covering the period 1948-1969 but also citing aspects of the previous period, from 1917 to 1947, when the school was called São José. Then, discuss the motivations and the transition process of the statute of the school, from Catholic confessional to community, as well as aspects of school cultures in relation to the subjects, spaces and school knowledge of the period 1969-1980. To conclude, the final considerations are exposed, allowing understand that changes in school cultures Regina Coeli School, arising from the transition of statute of Catholic Confessional school for Community School were gradual, as the Sisters continued in Regina Coeli College until 2000, at which time there was a higher tensions. Based on these results and the narrative constructed, highlights the importance of this research to the Veranense community and to the studies in the field of history of education.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT
When it comes to school governance, the concept of "local control" endures as a powerful social construct in some regions of the United States. In New England states, where traditional town meetings and small school districts still exist as important local institutions, the idea of local control is still an important element of policy considerations, despite increasing state and federal regulation of education in recent years.
With its small school districts and myriad governance structures, Vermont represents an extreme case example of the intersection between participatory democracy and the local control of schools. With nearly 285 school boards composed of over 1,400 school board members for a statewide k-12 population of just over 88,000 students, Vermont has the most board members per pupil in the nation. In addition, the state's patchwork of local districts, supervisory unions, unified districts, and other governance entities make up the most complex school governance system in the country. Following the passage of Act 46 in 2015, Vermont school districts began new voluntary merger negotiations and restructuring through the process known as "unification".
This qualitative case study of Vermont school governance examined the question of local control as a social construct across four school districts which, taken together, represent a range of attributes as defined by geography, demographics, and governance structures. Extended structured interviews comprised of image-based prompts and open-ended questions with 19 school board members provided the principal source of data. A review of state and local documents and interviews with 11 superintendents and policymakers allowed for triangulation of the data.
Results suggested these principal findings: 1) multiple meanings of local control coexist, 2) statutory requirements and limited local resources curtail the exercise of local control in practice, and 3) school boards are starting to take a broader view of governance by emphasizing stewardship over micromanagement and redefining local communities beyond town boundaries.

A pesquisa intitulada: Um estudo de caso sobre a práxis da professora polivalente na Escola Comunitária: os caminhos do ensino de História - investigou o cotidiano de uma professora da 4ª série do Ensino Fundamental durante o ano letivo de 2007, com o objetivo de analisar sua práxis de ensino no que se refere à disciplina História. Através de uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo etnográfico o estudo de caso pretendeu aprofundar as abordagens teóricas que fundamentam a práxis da referida professora. Este trabalho foi realizado em uma Escola Comunitária na cidade de Salvador-Ba, revelando no decorrer da pesquisa os aspectos que caracterizam e definem a rede comunitária e suas relações político-educativas com a história da infância e o ensino de História para crianças nesta cidade. Algumas soluções são apontadas para resolver o paradoxo da professora polivalente que ministra aulas de disciplinas nas quais ela não se especializou e que por isso desconhece as especificidades teóricas e metodológicas destas matérias.

Resumo: O presente trabalho constitui-se numa análise comparativa dos Planos de Desenvolvimento da Unidade e sua relação com os Projetos Políticos Pedagógicos de duas creches da rede pública de Jundiaí, uma localizada na área central e outra num bairro periférico da cidade. Nossa escolha pelo estudo em creches, se deu, pois esta esteve sempre em segundo plano, em detrimento do investimento, pesquisa e valorização de outras etapas da educação. A Constituição Federal de 1988 propõe a gestão democrática da escola pública como ícone de uma nova compreensão em torno da educação e das relações no interior da escola, gerando um movimento pela democracia, sendo a escola, o espaço privilegiado para maturação deste processo democrático. Assim, a possibilidade da gestão colegiada do projeto pedagógico é recente e pouco investigada, em especial no que se refere à educação infantil; portanto, esperamos que este trabalho possa ser fonte para os futuros pesquisadores da área; e contribua para a valorização e reconhecimento da importância desta etapa da educação básica. A pesquisa se estrutura, na análise dos planos escritos das duas creches, no seio da cultura escolar, mediados pela gestão democrática da escola, confrontados com os depoimentos coletados com os sujeitos envolvidos em seu processo de construção. Como fonte secundária nos valemos de autores como Raymond Williams, Viñao Frago, Ilma Veiga, Marília Spósito, entre outros, que permitem manter o diálogo com as fontes documentais. Nosso objetivo é o de confrontar o aspecto teórico: os planos; o aspecto legal: as deliberações impostas pela legislação, e o aspecto escolar: a dimensão da cultura da escola que permeia pensamentos e ações. Diante disto, algumas questões orientam a pesquisa: quais os limites e possibilidades da gestão colegiada nas creches? Até que ponto os profissionais entendem o processo democrático, e reconhecem a diferença entre participar e decidir? Qual a relação entre legislação e o trabalho coletivo inerente ao PPP? O movimento pela democratização deve ser compreendido enquanto um processo, que embora não esteja efetivamente concretizado, indica caminhos, e possibilidades. Este é enfim, um estudo que na mesma medida em que reconstrói a história da educação infantil, aponta os novos desafios colocados
Abstract: The present work is a comparative analysis of the Unit Development Plans (PDUs) and its relation to the Pedagogical Political Projects (PPPs) of two public nursery schools in Jundiaí. The first school is located at downtown and the second one at the rural area. This paper was focused on the nursery schools taking into consideration the low investment, research and valorization in that area in detriment of other steps of the Education. The Federal Constitution of 1988 recommends the democratic administration of the public school viewing a new comprehension of the education and the relations inside the School as a way to democracy, once the school is an excellent place to mature the democratic process. So, the possibility of the collegiate administration of the pedagogical project is recent and few investigated, especially the Childish Education. At first, this paper intends to be a source for new researchers in this area. Secondly, intends to valorize and recognize the importance of that step of the education. The research was structured in the analysis of the written plans of the two nursery schools, and at the cultural atmosphere of the schools, brought face to face to the fellows¿ interviews involved in the process. As a secondary source we make reference to writes as Raymond Williams, Viñao Frago, Ilma Veiga, Marília Spósito, among others, which allowed us to keep the dialog between the documents of this paper. Our purpose is to compare the theorical aspect, the plans, the proposals; the legal aspect, the deliberations imposed by the laws, and finally the dimension of the culture of the school, which permeates thoughts and actions. In view of that some questions guide our research: What are the limits and possibilities for the collegiate administration in the nursery schools? How can we measure if the professionals involved understand the democratic process? Do they know the difference between ¿take part¿ and ¿decide¿? Does the legislation compromise or not the possibilities of the collegiate work regarding to the PPP and the democratic administration? This democratization movement has to be understood as a process, in which although it isn¿t totally finished show us ways and possibilities. At the same time this paper reconstructs the history of the Childish Education, point us new challenges

Full textAbstract:
The Bronx Cocked Back And Smoking is a collection of multifarious prose performances recounting the historical, personal, social, political and cultural constructs of a city birthed by violence. This body of work is accompanied by video, audio, photography, and theatre performance texts. St. Mary’s Housing project, in the Bronx, is the foundation where most of this literary work takes place. The modern day Griot (storyteller) is a Poet, guiding his audience through the social inequalities and disparities that plague St. Mary’s community. The Poet shares personal traumatic insights while simultaneously utilizing writing as a form of survival to the conditions of the Bronx. This multi-platform performance highlights the metaphorical and physical concerns with the cycle of violence. This question is answered through the Poet’s choice by selecting the pen over the gun.

Full textAbstract:
While much has been written on the Australian film and television
industry, little has been presented by actual producers,
filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within
that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it
has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the
debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the
gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion,
synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution
from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful.
The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the
voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen
adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly
producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This
is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate
chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with
particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and
developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010.
Within these two voices are three layers against which this
history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the
pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature
films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types
and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary
within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of
the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form
the vertical structure within which industry issues are
discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of
production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’.
Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both
state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the
thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has
depended on government support through subsidy, funding
mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and
legislative provisions.
This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding
them with the determinants of the market and funding, and
immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and
policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.

Triestine migration to Australia is the direct consequence of numerous disputations over the city's political boundaries in the immediate post-World War II period. As such the triestini themselves are not simply part
of an overall migratory movement of Italians who took advantage of Australia's post-war immigration program, but their migration is also the reflection of an important period in the history of what today is known as the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region. By examining the migrant experience of both first and subsequent generations of Triestines in the Australian city of Melbourne in a historical context, this study highlights the importance of both the past and the present experience in the process of migrant settlement and identity construction.

Full textAbstract:
This present thesis is a study of the re-establishment of the Vancouver Japanese
Language School (first established in 1906), and the Japanese Canadian community in
Vancouver after World War II. Focusing on the reopening of the school in 1952, this
study attempts to discuss how the school's reopening influenced the rebuilding of the
Japanese-Canadian community in post-war Vancouver, where Japanese Canadians had
had a large ethnic community before 1941. B y regarding the Japanese-language school as
a means to comprehend trends in the lives of Japanese Canadians, this study seeks to
understand how and to what extent the Japanese Canadians in Vancouver were able to
reconstruct their ethnic identity: how much they acculturated into anglo-Canadian society
after the devastation of their ethnic community; and how differently each successive
generation has perceived the significance of ethnic cultural retention, such as the Japanese
language.
Until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, the Vancouver Japanese
Language School was the largest such school on the Pacific coast of North America, and
served the Japanese Canadian community as a transmitter of their ethnic culture and
traditions to the next generation. However, after the destruction of the ethnic community
by the World War II evacuation of Japanese Canadians in 1942, the leadership of the
Japanese Canadians shifted from culturally "Japanese-oriented" issei (first generation) to
"more-Canadianized" nisei (second generation). Consequently, demand for fluency in the Japanese language and an understanding of the ethnic culture was replaced with the
demand for English and the anglo-Canadian culture. Despite such a huge change in the
community, the Vancouver Japanese Language School was reopened, though reduced in
size, and continues to operate to the present.
This study draws evidence from several works by a long-time principal and teacher
of the school, Tsutae Sato, and his wife Hanako, a variety of primary sources from the
Sato Collection at the University of British Columbia, and the Japanese ethnic press, as
well as the author's interviews with six people who have historical connections to the
school reopening and management. By using these sources, this study attempts to
examine what the meaning of the school reopening was for the Japanese Canadians after
the devastation of their pre-war communities; how the school's function and roles
changed from the pre-war to the post-war period; how language education and the
Japanese language influenced the formation of Japanese Canadians' particularly that of
the nisei ethnic identity as heirs to a Japanese tradition in Canada.

Sutton, David F. "An analysis of paediatric palliative care in the state of Victoria." Thesis, 2005. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/17919/.
Full textAbstract:
The concept of palliative care as an holistic approach to the management of patients
with incurable conditions has its roots in the hospice movement. It has since grown
into an established field of practice for health professionals of all disciplines and has
been recognised as a medical specialty since 1987. Palliative care remains relatively
underdeveloped in the paediatric setting for a number of reasons. Firstly, death in
childhood is now relatively rare due to the advent of antibiotics, immunisation and
advances in the treatment of malignancies. This means that any health professional's
individual exposure to palliative care issues is limited, making the development and
maintenance of skills difficult. Secondly, the traditional model of palliative care, as a
path to be taken when all curative options have been explored, does not adequately
serve children and adolescents where the transition to palliative care may be less clear
due to a broader range of diagnoses and patterns of disease progression. Children also
present added dimensions to palliative care including developmental, ethical and
physiological considerations. The involvement of parents as care givers and decision
makers further increases the complexity of providing palliative care.
Research is lacking and the evidence on which to base practice is limited.
Nevertheless, there are theoretical constructs that can be utilised to build a framework
for research in this area. The works of Glaser and Strauss, Corr and Copp on theories
of death and dying coupled with earlier works by Freud, Erikson and Piaget on
theories of childhood development provide a suitable theoretical framework. Corr's
'task' based model described in 1992 allows us to view the process of providing
pediatric palliative care from many different perspectives, and thus provides for a rich
multi-dimensional model of pediatric palliative care to be constructed.
This study was done to analyse and investigate the knowledge, attitudes and needs of
both providers and recipients of palliative care in a major tertiary paediatric hospital,
the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH), Melbourne, Australia and, in addition, to
examine various models of delivery of paediatric palliative care in use around the
world, and to identify from the literature the constituents of care that make up 'best
practice' as regards paediatric palliative care. From this investigation it is hoped to
develop a model of care that will best serve the RCH and its patients.

Full textAbstract:
The most surprising outcome from the Victoria School of Art and Design's first
half century is that it survived into its second. How it survived, and how it almost
failed to, is the subject of this thesis. The main argument is that community support
for the VSAD, or lack of it, was based more on pragmatic concerns, rather than on
whether people liked the art being produced. Among those concerns, the most
talked about was art training for employable skills.
Led by Anna Leonowens, who later became the subject of the musical The
King and I, well-to-do citizens in Halifax, Nova Scotia founded the VSAD in 1887.
In 1925 the school changed its name to the Nova Scotia College of Art. Its current
name, the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, came in 1969, the year that the
College became what was then the only autonomous degree granting art institution
in Canada.
As part of an international movement, the VSAD shared its late nineteenth
century origins with similar art schools throughout North America, Europe, Britain
and its colonies. Many of these schools also shared common purposes: to sharpen the
graphic skills of industrial designers, to provide instruction in the fine and decorative
arts, and to train drawing teachers for public and private schools.
Of the different groups supporting the Halifax school, women and their
organizations were the most consistent and consequential, especially Halifax's Local
Council of Women. A properly funded art school, they argued, could generate jobs,
stimulate economic gains, and foster higher standards of civic culture within the
community. This study looks at the VSAD's supporters, teachers, and administrators during
its first half century. It describes how the school, with its inadequate enrolment,
budget, and space, played a limited role in generating art-related employment
before the Great War. It is only with the principalship of Elizabeth Styring Nutt from
1919 to 1943, with her strong community connections and decades-long commitment
to training artist-workers, that the school finally gained relative security and success.

Mariner, Nicholas Scott. ""People Who Look Like Me": Community, Space and Power in a Segregated East Tennessee School." 2010. http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_graddiss/898.
Full textAbstract:
This Cultural Studies dissertation comes from extended research on three East Tennessee school districts as they attempted to integrate after the Supreme Court mandated an end to segregation in the United States. The study focuses on the experiences of former students of Austin High School, the segregated black school on the eastern edge of Knoxville, Tennessee. From looking at their schooling experiences in the context of the area's failed attempts to integrate, I address the myriad ways these participants and white citizens took up the term community to advance or block integration efforts. Community, I argue from this research, is a socially constructed discourse situated in a specific context of power that can simultaneously empower and oppress targeted groups in its creation. This study that centers on the stories of alumni of Austin High shows the negotiation of local power as defined through the efforts to maintain geographically separate spaces for each race in their schools and neighborhoods. In my research, I developed a methodology called historical ethnography to address these questions. By employing a historical ethnographic approach, I attempted to show that the history of education must take into account that schooling is not an experience lived and remembered, but one that is continually relived in every act of remembering. Therefore, it is not a standard historical account of a segregated school. It is an interdisciplinary exploration of how power can be recreated in schools through claims to community and how my participants engaged that power still in recounting their own school experiences.

Punk rock provided not only a watershed of creativity, innovation and a do-it-yourself spirit to a culture saturated in the mainstream, it physically brought like-minded people together in a community, or rather extended family, which in today’s hyper-d.i.y. culture, is progressively declining. As early as the 1940s, theorists such as Adorno and Horkheimer warned us about alienation in a society increasingly dependent on technology. By looking to punk, and other resilient and robust counter-cultures, perhaps we can find solutions to the pitfalls of the ‘culture industry’ (Adorno, Horkheimer, 1944).
My thesis, consisting of a feature-length documentary film and textual analysis, is a culmination of: ethnographic research into the punk scene in my own community; theoretical research into the sociology, ethnography and subculture theory; and my own subjectivity. My personal findings are presented to offer insight into punk philosophy and to spur discourse, rather than deliver an objective account or didactic reproach.Graduate

Research of Elementary School Teacher Professional Learning Community Forming History - Taichung City Kuo-Kuang Elementary School Children’s Musical Troupe as Example Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate the process of forming a professional learning community of elementary school teachers and to find out the characteristics of individual study groups in order to foster the teachers’ professional development. The participant of this research was the group of teachers from the Children’s Musical Theatre of Kuo-Kuang Elementary School in Taichung City. Data were collected by interviewing individual members, making observations and analyzing documents in order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the formation and history of certain professional learning community Conclusio were as follows: I. The formation process of a teacher professional learning community in the elementary school The professional learning community of Kuo-Kuang Elementary School was initiated with teacher’s curriculum leadership. The leader of professional learning community played a vital role of group cohesion. The task allocation of learning community was ambiguous but the workflow of activities was in positive progression. The group was suffering with insufficient time, lack of budget and manpower. On the other hand, it gradually gained support in budget, manpower, and sprit as well. All in the nut shell, it still can be continuously promoted for the future. II. Characteristics of professional learning community In the case of Kuo-Kuang Elementary School, there were four characteristics of community. First, the community has a shared purpose and vision. Second, each activity was focused on student learning and teaching applications. Third, members among group were honestly interactive and truthfully pursuiting teaching improvements. Fourth, the community continues to create and improve the campus culture. III. Professional learning community fosters teachers’ professional development For stress relieving and self-exploring, teachers from Kuo-Kuang Elementary School participate in community. Improvements on teachers’ professional area were as follows. First, participating teachers paid much attention on students’ learning and changes of teaching methods. Second, community participation boosted teachers’ guidance and discipline. Third, teachers participating in community were willing to share experiences and express feedbacks. Fourth, teachers participating in community could overcome challenges and progress from them. Last but not the least, related suggestions based on research results are proposed for schools intend to establish professional learning community, cultural and educational administration institute and further researches to refer to.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)In 1964, Muncie Central High School got the “death penalty” at the hands of the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s (IHSAA) new commissioner, Phil N. Eskew, after post-game brawling at a boys basketball game led to a broader investigation of the entire program. In the closing moments of the game, a Muncie Central opponent was bloodied by an inbound pass to the face and fans erupted in violence, swarming the floor. The ensuing investigation revealed racial tensions, issues of sexual mores, political discord, and deep problems in the web of interrelationships that make up the phenomenon of Hoosier Hysteria. After a closed-door hearing and two days of deliberations, Eskew and the IHSAA Board of Control announced their decision, and the punishment prescribed made front page headlines across the state and beyond.

Full textAbstract:
In the early 1960s, civil rights organizers in American cities designed a novel response to the urban and educational crises unfolding around them: hiring local residents, primarily the mothers of schoolchildren, to work in public schools. Local hiring, they argued, would improve instruction, connect schools to communities, and create jobs. Working with allies in antipoverty programs and teacher unions, they created demonstration programs and pushed funding for them into federal law. American school districts responded by hiring half a million community-based paraprofessional educators between 1965 and 1975. Today, despite the waning of the movements that created their positions, over one million paraprofessionals work in public schools.
“The Work of Education” explores the lives and labor of community-based para-professional educators from 1953 to 1983. These educators took part in struggles to create their jobs, and once hired, they made themselves essential to students, parents, and teachers. They built on these classroom solidarities to secure and expand community-based educational work through unionization. Their campaigns transformed the social geography of public schooling and expanded the social welfare state in an era of scarcity. Their work generated new pedagogies and curricula, new models for teacher recruitment, and new opportunities for progressive politics and labor organizing in the 1970s. This project reveals a structural, job-creating side of the War on Poverty and an understudied legacy of black and Hispanic freedom struggles led by women.
Community-based educators imagined a more equitable, democratic future for American cities. Their ideas and organizing strategies might yet inspire those who seek such a future today.

This study discusses the influence of history on identity for those who are involved with
the Vancouver Japanese Language School and Japanese Hall (also know as the VJLS). The
historical significance of a recognized landmark such as the VJLS creates a unique atmosphere
that allows the past to be very much part of the present. In addition to many types of
commemoration, memory and imagination provide links to the past. The community at the
VJLS was very diverse including both recent immigrants and those with family connections to
the Internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II. As a result, the feeling of a
connection to the past was discussed in many different ways. These discussions are used in this
study to explore the question of what it means to be Japanese Canadian and to be Canadian. At
the VJLS, the history of Japanese Canadians is shown to belong to all Canadians rather than just
to a separate ethic group within Canada.

Cook, Marie. "Australian stories of coffee in Melbourne and environs: a selective cultural history." Thesis, 2005. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/18154/.
Full textAbstract:
It is difficult to locate the genesis of any subject of creative and critical inquiry.
However, I consider I embarked on this MA research project because having a decent
coffee was important to me, and I did not know why. I recall the precise moment I
realised I was attaching special meaning to coffee. I was in a new cafe at Airey's Inlet, seaside town on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, my home State, and I had ordered a
cafe latte:
The woman serving me was in her sixties and appeared to be out of her depth;
she was most likely helping her daughter set up the cafe and trying to be useful.
I imagined she lived on one of the surrounding farms - she reminded me of my
mother. Her hands had probably made a thousand morning teas for shearers
with big pots of tea, the best china for the jug of milk and tea cups, and big
baskets of scones with cream and jam. But using an espresso machine had
baffled her. I, on the other hand, no longer wanted the life of tea and demanded a
decent coffee (Cook, 2005:15).
At that moment I realised there were a number of reasons for me wanting that coffee to
be 'decent'. They related to my growing up in the country and wanting to live in the
city, to my experience of cafe life in Europe, and finally to personal rebellion - against certain conservatism of the 1970s in Australia, and ultimately against a colonial English
custom of tea.
This project is located in food and social history and focuses particularly on the
introduction of espresso coffee to Melbourne in the 1950s and '60s, as in my view the
Italian cafes of that period had the greatest influence upon present cafe culture.
However, this project is not pure social or food history, as it synthesises my own
personal experience, and that of my interviewees, with archival, scholarly and more
journalistic/literary research, and with a particular approach to the writing of non-fiction
narrative, known as 'creative non-fiction'. The final thesis can be seen therefore as a
fusion of qualitative and scholarly research, with memoir and oral history - or, in
summary, as what I have termed a 'selective cultural history'.

Full textAbstract:
Community interventions are a recent development in the field of prevention. This study sought to address the current gap in this area, between scientific knowledge and community practice, through an understanding of practitioners’ experiences of implementation. A case study was undertaken to explore the context and complexity of implementation processes. Data was collected concurrently with the implementation of a community intervention located in rural Victoria, Australia, which aimed to reduce early school leaving. Implementers’ perspectives on a guide to best practice, developed from the academic literature, were sought. Concepts from systems theory and ecological approaches were combined to create a framework suitable for the analysis of the data. The intervention was viewed as an open system. Its progression from being a subsystem of the funded organization to a subsystem of both the funded organization and the community was examined. Factors such as meeting community needs and community members as program staff were found to facilitate community acceptance. The interactions within and between the subsystems of the intervention and the community were also explored. School retention rates were suggestive of some level of impact on school leaving. Additional positive outcomes were the facilitation and/or strengthening of links between community subsystems, and a perceived change within the funded organization. This thesis goes some way towards bridging the gap between science and practice in this field. Findings contribute to the debate regarding flexibility versus fidelity and a greater understanding of the unique challenges faced by rural interventions.

abstract: Human experience exists within space; it is the studio for the stories of our lives. Bounded by time, location and personal experience we assign our own meanings and feelings to them, and they become personal, symbolic places: some are unique to us, imagined places where we act out stories or dreams; most are part of the natural world.
Most spaces, though, are built or controlled by others; these constructed environments can become places where we may, or may not, like to be.
This research examined spaces and places of children's lives through the material worlds of their neighborhoods and schools, focusing on the visible environment outside of the school building. The intersection of school and community, it is a material embodiment of, and evidence toward, how a community's resources are apportioned to
important aspects of children's developmental years. These visible representations speak of that society's values and goals for the children for whom they (we) are responsible.
This examination used multiple research tools, primarily using visual approaches such as current photographs, archival images and data, descriptive census materials and maps. Historical documents, (many of which are now digitized), as well as other academic literature, local journalistic efforts and school district publications added important materials for analysis.
Findings lead to deeper understanding of ways that visible, material worlds of schools and neighborhoods -- past and present - can reflect, and direct the experiences of childhood today, and often mirror those of children past. These visual and narrative approaches contributed to understanding the importance of material evidence in revealing
inequity and class differences in ways that children, then, must &ldquodo school &rdquoDissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
This is a case study of the development of the Buddhist Education in Victorian Schools program in state primary schools. It is located alongside the theoretical and policy
frameworks of Australian state schooling and a growing but disparate international movement that is applying meditative techniques and principles with roots in the Buddha- Dharma in secular and pluralist education. The meta-ethics of wisdom and compassion, it is argued, are the foundation for spiritual education, personal development and positively engaged citizenship in the Dharma. These are also and congruent with the intrinsic aims of education.

"Imagining the Creole City: White Creole Print Culture, Community, and Identity Formation in Nineteenth-Century New Orleans." Tulane University, 2013.
Find full textAbstract:
This dissertation traces the development, growth, and eventual fall of a white Creole intellectual and literary community in New Orleans, beginning in the 1820s and continuing for a century thereafter. In histories and novels, poetry and prose, the stage and the press, white Creole New Orleanians—those who traced their parentage back to the city’s colonial era—advocated both an intimate connection to France and a desire to be considered citizens of the United States of America. In print, they consciously fostered, mythologized, and promoted the idea that their very bifurcated nature made them inheritors of a singularly special place, possessors of an exceptional history, and keepers of utterly unique bloodlines. In effect, this closely-knit circle of Creole writers, like other Creole literary communities scattered across the Atlantic World, imbued the word Creole as a descriptive identity marker that symbolized social and cultural power. In postcolonial Louisiana, the authors within this white Creole literary circle used the printed word to imagine themselves a unified community of readers and writers. Together, they produced newspapers, literary journals, and art and science-based salons and clubs. Theirs was a postcolonial exercise in articulating a common identity, a push and pull for and against their French and American halves to create a creolized Creole self. Looking to their American brothers and to their French motherland, they participated in idealistic, literary, and wider cultural movements witnessed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Over the course of the long-nineteenth century, these movements included romantic historicism, religious reformation, pan-linguistic nationalism, racial refashioning, a preoccupation with genealogy, and a social feminization. Though few of these white Creole authors are still read today, their fashioning of a city and state literature continues to resonate in most all literary representations of New Orleans and Louisiana. By the turn of the twentieth century, and the end of their era of prominence, the white Creoles had popularized the idea of a New Orleans centered in the city’s mythologized white, Gallic past. They had imagined the “Creole City.”acase@tulane.edu
