ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The introduction of Outcomes Based Education in the South African school system brought about a new approach to education. The existing system of a multitude of subjects was replaced by a curriculum with eight learning areas. In this curriculum the focus is on attitudes, skills and values which replaced a content based approach with a process-based approach. Educators thereby became facilitators in the educational process. With the barriers of segregation removed in the South African society the diversity of the population created multi-cultural classrooms. Schools became the meeting place of many cultures and belief systems. Educators who facilitated learning in schools were not always prepared for the task of managing a multi-cultural and multi-religious school environment. This change within the school system required that educators make a paradigm shift regarding their role as educators. The introduction of Curriculum 2005 (1997); The Revised National Curriculum (2001) and the National Curriculum Statement (2002) was not without problems in South Africa. Many educators resisted change and had negative perceptions about the implementation of Outcomes Based Education in schools. These perceptions stemmed from inadequate training of educators for the implementation phase of the curriculum. The lack of skills to facilitate the content of the curriculum was also visible in the educators' inability to identify values in the curriculum. The multi-cultural and multi-religious classroom confronted educators with values from the different value and belief systems of learners. It is, therefore, important that educators should be able to identify values in order to attain the outcomes of the curriculum. Previous research indicated that educators did not play an active role in the teaching of values in schools. Neither were the educators participating in this research able to either identify or promote the values identified in the curriculum. The aim of this research was to develop an instrument to assist educators in identifying values from different belief systems in C2005 (1997); The Revised National Curriculum (2001) and the National Curriculum Statement (2002). Guidelines were developed for the facilitation of the identified values within the OBE curriculum. An empirical research was undertaken regarding the management of values in schools in the Western Cape during June 1999. Possible methods and approaches to values in education in general were identified and the suggested instrument and guidelines to assist educators with the identification of values was developed. The relevance of this study is to assist in-service and pre-service educators In identifying and facilitating different belief and value systems in an OBE education system.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die implementering van Uitkomsgebaseerde Onderwys (UGO) in die Suid-Afrikaanse skoolstelsel het 'n nuwe benadering tot onderwys gebring. Die veelvoudige vakkeuses van die vorige kurrikulum is vervang deur een met agt leerareas. 'n Nuwe kurrikulum wat gefokus is op gesindhede, vaardighede en waardes het op sy beurt die inhoudgebaseerde kurrikulum met 'n prosesbenadering vervang. Opvoeders het nou fasiliteerders van die leerproses geword. Die verwydering van skeidslyne in die Suid Afrikaanse samelewing het tot gevolg gehad dat die diversiteit van die S.A. bevolking tot multikulturele klaskamers gelei het. Skole het die ontmoetingsplek van vele kulture en waardestelsels geword. Die opvoeders wat die leerproses in skole moet fasiliteer, is nie altyd voorbereid op die multikulturele en multireligieuse skoolomgewing nie. Die verandering in die skoolwese vereis dat opvoeders 'n paradigmaskuif betreffende hulle rol as opvoeders moet maak. Die implementering van Kurrikulum 2005(Curriculum 2005,1997; Hersiene Nasionale Kurrikulum (Revised National Curriculum, 2001); Nasionale Kurrikulum Stelling (National Curriculum Statement, 2002) was geensins sonder probleme nie. Heelwat opvoeders het weerstand gebied en baie negatiewe persepsies is behou in verband met die implementering van Uitkomsgebaseerde Onderwys in skole. Die persepsies van opvoeders ten opsigte van die implementeringsfase van die kurrikulum word gemotiveer as gevolg van die onvoldoende opleiding in die voorbereidingsproses .. Die gebrek aan vaardighede om die inhoud van die kurrikulum te fasiliteer, is sigbaar in die opvoeders se onvermoë om waardes in die kurrikulum te identifiseer. Die multikulturele en multireligieuse klaskamer het opvoeders konfronteer met die leerders se waardes vanuit hul verskillende waarde- en oriënteringsomgewings. (belief systems). Dit word belangrik geag dat opvoeders hierdie waardes kan identifiseer sodat die uitkomste van die kurrikulum behaal kan word. Vorige navorsing het aangedui dat opvoeders nie 'n aktiewe rol in die fasilitering van waardes in die skool speel nie. Die opvoeders wat deel was van hierdie navorsing, kon ook nie waardes in die kurrikulum identifiseer of bevorder nie. Die doel van hierdie navorsing was om 'n instrument te ontwerp om opvoeders te help met die identifisering van waardes van die verskillende oriënteringsomgewings (belief systems) in C200S (1997); RNC (2001); NCS(2002) Riglyne is ontwerp vir fasilitering van die geïdentifiseerde waardes in die UGO kurrikulum. Empiriese ondersoek is onderneem met die doelom die hantering van waardes in Wes-Kaapse skole na te vors. Moontlike metodes en benaderings tot waardes in onderwys in die algemeen is geïdentifiseer en 'n instrument om opvoeders te help met die identifisering van waardes, is ontwikkel. Riglyne word voorgestelom opvoeders te help in hulle benadering tot waardes in die kurrikulum. Die waarde van die studie lê daarin om sowel voor- as indiensopvoeders te help met die identifisering en fasilitering van waardes vanuit die verskillende waarde en oriënteringsomgewings in 'n Uitkomsgebaseerde Onderwysstelsel.

Wang, Yang. "Measuring value-added in noncognitive learning outcomes in higher education institutions: A civic engagement perspective." Thesis, Boston College, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/3816.
Addressing the call to provide hard evidence on undergraduate student outcomes and make comparisons across higher education institutions for accountability purposes, this study extends current efforts in measuring higher education outcomes and explores the differences in three value-added methodologies. Using the CIRP freshman and senior survey data from 2002 and 2006, this study examines noncognitive higher education outcomes with a focus on civic engagement. The three value-added methodologies examined are: an OLS-based cross-sectional method, an HLM-based cross-sectional method, and an HLM-based longitudinal method. Rather than seek to establish which methodology is superior, this study intends to provide empirical evidence concerning the similarities and differences in estimating institutional effectiveness with regard to civic engagement. First, several student-level and institution-level covariates were found to be associated with a measure of civic engagement in the senior year after adjusting for their level of civic engagement as freshmen. The model comparison further revealed some advantages in the HLM-based longitudinal method over the other two methods, such as providing a more accurate institutional value-added estimate and the ability to account for a relatively large percent of the total variance in the civic engagement measure when using the same covariates. Next, among all pairs of model comparisons, results from the two HLM-based methods agreed the most (r=.80). However, institutional rankings fluctuate dramatically, even when comparing institutions within small peer groups. Finally, the findings highlighted great divergences among different value-added methodologies in identifying institutions that perform significantly differently from the average for accountability purposes

The increased availability of technology in Western culture has resulted in an increased use of technology among adolescents in both academic and personal settings. In the U.S., adolescents use technology to communicate, access information, create and distribute products on a daily basis. More importantly, this increase in technology has resulted in many more reasons and opportunities to read. It is unclear, however if increased reading in these new digital modes are related to increased scores on traditional academic assessments. This study used an archival data set to investigate relationships that existed among self-reported reading frequencies in different modes and contexts and scores on a high-stakes assessment for students in an urban, high-needs district in the Northeast (N = 232). The relationship of frequencies of reading in four settings; Academic Print, Academic Digital, Recreation Print and Recreation Digital, to student scores on high-stakes, eighth grade ELA assessment was investigated using hierarchical regression analyses. In addition, alternate methods of quantifying survey responses were studied. The study found that student frequency of reading in Recreation Print and Recreation Digital modes were predictive of high-stakes ELA scores; however, frequency of reading in the modes and settings of Academic Print and Academic Digital were not predictive. Gender differences were found; two different predictive models were required when looking at the predictive value of reading frequencies on ELA outcomes males and females. Suggestions are given for developing or adapting alternative survey values in order to analyze archival data. In addition, further research into the nature of engagement in different modes of reading and consideration for individual differences in reading, specifically by gender is discussed. Suggestions also address the need for research on digital modes of reading and academic outcomes as the availability of digital material increases.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-177).
We study decision making by networked entities and the interplay between networks and outcomes under two different contexts: in the first part of the thesis, we study how strategic agents that share local information coordinate; in the second part of the thesis, we quantify the gain of having access to temporally richer data for learning of influence networks. In the first part of the thesis, we study the role of local information channels in enabling coordination among strategic agents. Building on the standard finite-player global games framework, we show that the set of equilibria of a coordination game is highly sensitive to how information is locally shared among agents. In particular, we show that the coordination game has multiple equilibria if there exists a collection of agents such that (i) they do not share a common signal with any agent outside of that collection; and (ii) their information sets form an increasing sequence of nested sets, referred to as a filtration. Our characterization thus extends the results on the uniqueness and multiplicity of equilibria in global games beyond the well-known case in which agents have access to purely private or public signals. We then provide a characterization of how the extent of equilibrium multiplicity is determined by the extent to which subsets of agents have access to common information: we show that the size of the set of equilibrium strategies is increasing with the extent of variability in the size of the subsets of agents who observe the same signal. We study the set of equilibria in large coordination games, showing that as the number of agents grows, the game exhibits multiple equilibria if and only if a non-vanishing fraction of the agents have access to the same signal. We finally consider an application of our framework in which the noisy signals are interpreted to be the idiosyncratic signals of the agents, which are exchanged through a communication network. In the second part of the thesis, we quantify the gain in the speed of learning of parametric models of influence, due to having access to richer temporal information. We infer local influence relations between networked entities from data on outcomes and assess the value of temporal data by characterizing the speed of learning under three different types of available data: knowing the set of entities who take a particular action; knowing the order in which the entities take an action; and knowing the times of the actions. We propose a parametric model of influence which captures directed pairwise interactions and formulate different variations of the learning problem. We use the Fisher information, the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, and sample complexity as measures for the speed of learning. We provide theoretical guarantees on the sample complexity for correct learning based on sets, sequences, and times. The asymptotic gain of having access to richer temporal data for the speed of learning is thus quantified in terms of the gap between the derived asymptotic requirements under different data modes. We also evaluate the practical value of learning with richer temporal data, by comparing learning with sets, sequences, and times given actual observational data. Experiments on both synthetic and real data, including data on mobile app installation behavior, and EEG data from epileptic seizure events, quantify the improvement in learning due to richer temporal data, and show that the proposed methodology recovers the underlying network well.

Purpose: This paper aims to explore the antecedents and performance outcomes of supply chain integration in the agri-food industry in Latin America, a context that the literature on supply chain management has not extensively addressed. The quinoa supply chain, an industry that has encountered a boost in market demand in the past year, is selected as the unit of analysis. Supply chain integration dynamics are analyzed to provide recommendations about integration strategies and benefits in the agricultural sector. Design/methodology/approach: A conceptual model was designed in this study, which includes the drivers (i.e. trust and commitment) and outcomes (i.e. operational and economic performance) of supply chain integration. The relationships were verified through a unique survey, the data of which were collected from 79 respondents operating at different levels of the Peruvian quinoa supply chain (i.e. suppliers, producers and customers). The proposed hypotheses were tested through the partial least squares (PLS) regression. Findings: The results underscore the relevance of trust and commitment as enablers of supply chain integration initiatives in the agri-food industry. These factors are particularly essential for involving the farmers who are the most upstream actors in the supply chain and characterized by unstructured organizations. A high level of integration in these types of supply chain enhances the capacity to improve operational performance, which in turns positively affects the main economic indicators. Originality/value: This study contributes to the discussion of supply chain integration in the agri-food industry, which remains unexplored thus far. It relies on a multitier collection of responses, which is extended to all the levels of the quinoa supply chain, thereby providing the study with a unique depth of analysis. Furthermore, this work contributes to the ongoing discourse on the performance impact of supply chain integration, which several SCM scholars have recently questioned.

Tiivistelmä Maan lait ja rahoitusrakenne voivat vaikuttaa yrityksen päätöksentekoon rahoitusrajoitteiden ja agenttiongelmien kautta. Velkojien vaikutusvaltaan perustuvien teorioiden mukaan velkojan oikeudet, kuten oikeus vakuuteen konkurssin yhteydessä, lisäävät velanantajan lainaamishalukkuutta. Osakkeenomistajia suojaavat lait voivat puolestaan vähentää yrityksen ja sijoittajien välistä epäsymmetristä informaatiota ja agenttiongelmia esimerkiksi vaatimalla laadukkaita ilmoituksia ja hyväksymisprosesseja koskien potentiaalisesti eturistiriitoja sisältäviä transaktioita sekä mahdollistamalla yksityisen kanteen nostamisen. Lisäksi maan pankkiperusteinen rahoitusrakenne voi vähentää moraalikatoa lievittämällä vapaamatkustajaongelmaa yritysjohdon monitoroinnissa. Tämä tutkielma sisältää useita uusia tuloksia. Ensimmäisessä esseessä havaitaan käänteinen yhteys velkojien oikeuksien ja kassan arvon välillä. Johdonmukainen selitys tälle havainnolle on, että rahoitusrajoitteet lisäävät kassan marginaaliarvoa ja velkojien oikeudet lieventävät rahoitusrajoitteita. Toisen esseen tulosten mukaan pankkiperusteinen rahoitusrakenne parantaa suurten investointien vaikutusta operatiiviseen tulokseen eritysesti hajaantuneen omistusrakenteen omaavien yritysten osalta. Tämä voi johtua pankkiperusteisen rahoitusjärjestelmän vapaamatkustajaongelmaa vähentävästä vaikutuksesta. Kolmannen esseen tulosten mukaan osakkeenomistajansuoja kohottaa suurten investointien hasardifunktiota pienimpien yritysten osalta. Tämä puolestaan voi johtua siitä, että osakkeenomistajansuoja lievittää investointeja hidastavia epäsymmetrisen informaation ongelmia, kuten yrityksen sisäpiiriläisten mahdollista taipumusta ohjata yrityksen kassavirtoja heitä itseään hyödyttäviin kohteisiin. Tieteellisen kontribuution lisäksi tutkimustuloksia voidaan hyödyntää yritysten, rahoittajien ja politiikkojen päätöksenteossa. Yrityksen arvoa maksimoivan johtajan tulisi kassan suuruutta päättäessään ottaa huomioon maassa vallitseva lakiympäristö. Rahoittajien tulisi puolestaan huomioida maan rahoitusrakenteen ja yrityksen omistusrakenteen vaikutus investointien kannattavuuteen. Politiikkojen yleinen tavoite on lisätä yritysten investointeja, koska ne parantavat työllisyyttä ja synnyttävät verotuloja. Tämän tutkielman mukaan sijoittajansuoja lisää suurten investointien frekvenssiä ja kannattavuutta

Since the 1990s there has been an escalating number of codes of conduct, self-regulatory schemes and multi-stakeholder initiatives aiming to monitor corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the context of global value chains. Because these initiatives lack legal enforcement they fall into the category of private regulations. Despite increasing concerns of worldwide degradation of social and environmental conditions, the effectiveness of private regulations is still elusive. Taking three distinct approaches, this research examines the outcomes of private regulations through a local, bottom of the chain perspective. We analyze how a supplier of a multinational subsidiary in the agro-food industry receives, understands and implements a supplier development program. We study 1) the inscription of private regulations in a long history of political roles undertaken by local companies in a developing country, namely Colombia. This sheds light on how private regulations can jeopardize the governance of corporate social responsibility in the industry. 2) The process of deployment of a private regulation at the intra-organizational level, looking at how it progressively transforms preexisting notions of business involvement in society. We highlight two mechanisms leading to the disembedding of local actors from their geographically proximate communities, and re-embedding them into global notions of CSR. 3) The adoption of each demand included in a private regulation leading to understand heterogeneity in the adoption process. To bring these aspects together, we also evaluate to what extent demands from multinational subsidiaries are diffused to other levels of the supply chain. Overall, our results contribute to the literatures of political CSR and global value chain by expanding upon how these dynamics operate within a developing nation

Abstract On October 6, 2006 President Bush signed the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act (PETS Act, Pub. Law No. 109-308). The Act ensures that state and local emergency preparedness operational plans address the needs of individuals with household pets and service animals following a major disaster or emergency (The Library of Congress, 109:H.R. 3858, 2006). This thesis identifies nineteen indicators to be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the PETS program in the areas of economics and public health. This report gives specific examples of how each indicator can be used to measure, assess, guide, and monitor the outcomes of evacuating pets in state or local emergency preparedness operational plans.
Davis, Cindy. "Inclusive business models in South Africa's land reform: great expectations and ambiguous outcomes in the Moletele land claim, Limpopo." Thesis, University of the Western Cape, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/11394/3898.
This dissertation focuses on strategic partnership initiatives or ‘inclusive business model’ arrangements initiated between land restitution beneficiaries and private sector interests. It explores to what extent the introduction of strategic partnerships since 2005 reflects a dominant underlying land reform policy narrative premised on the superiority of large-scale commercial farming that contradicts other policy statements emphasizing support for small-scale farming. The effects of a hegemonic notion of “viability” – framed in terms of the large-scale commercial farm model - on partnership initiatives in the large Moletele claim in the Hoedspruit area of Limpopo Province is the primary concern of the study. I adopt a political economy perspective to examine both processes and the range of outcomes of the commercial partnerships established on Moletele land. Informed by this perspective, I explore the strategies pursued by, and the alliances formed between differently positioned actors that are engaged in contestations and negotiations over access to resources within these partnerships, which I conceptualize as “arenas of struggle”. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analysed (mixed method approach), by means of a small sample of claimant households and in relation to joint ventures established between claimants and different private sector partners

Schwing, Maximilian. "Adoption Factors and Outcomes of Shared Micromobility Solutions – An Empirical Examination in Closed-Campus Environments." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Toulouse 1, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023TOU10002.
As an application of the sharing economy, shared micromobility refers to the shared use of light-weight transportation modes (e.g., e-scooter sharing). It is considered an integral part of sustainable urban mobility, as it reduces the reliance on individual motorized vehicles and solves the first-and-last-mile problem of public transportation. However, shared micromobility is controversial with consumer-related issues. Consequently, it has attracted interest outside and inside academia, and service providers innovate their solutions. In this context, this dissertation aims to understand how consumers adopt innovative shared micromobility by focusing on the application in closed-campus environments. First, we use the theory–context–characteristics–methodology systematic literature review protocol (Paul & Criado, 2020) to provide a holistic overview and research agenda of theoretical and empirical aspects at the intersection of marketing research on the sharing economy. Thus, we define our research questions related to 1) adoption factors and real user behavior 2) satisfaction and continuance intention to use 3) longitudinal effects of user experience on the perceptions of closed-campus micromobility. By setting up a field laboratory for shared micromobility in a closed-campus setting, we collect empirical survey and behavioral data to answer the related questions. Regarding the first question, we examine the antecedents of behavioral intention to adopt closed-campus micromobility and its influence on real user behavior. We draw on the UTAUT2 (Venkatesh et al., 2012) and integrate consumer perceived value theory (Holbrook, 1994), employee enablement theory (Adler & Borys, 1996) and privacy calculus theory (Martin & Murphy, 2017). The results indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, task enablement, and hedonic and utilitarian value are significant antecedents of behavioral intention, which positively affects real use. Regarding the second question, we examine the antecedents of satisfaction and continuation behavior of closed campus micromobility. We draw on the expectation-confirmation model (Bhattacherjee, 2001) and integrate the theory of well-being (Diener et al., 1999) and consumer perceived value theory (Holbrook, 1994). The results reveal that subjective well-being is an antecedent of service satisfaction, which in turn is influenced by hedonic and economic values. Finally, regarding the third question, we examine the longitudinal effects of user experience. Based on UTAUT2 (Venkatesh et al., 2012) and regulatory focus theory (Avnet & Higgins, 2006), we add consumer perceived value theory (Holbrook, 1994), employee enablement theory (Adler & Borys, 1996), theory of well-being (Diener et al., 1999) and social identity theory (Ashforth & Mael, 1989). Through a within-subject design and two independent samples (short-term and long-term experience), we reveal that performance expectancy and task enablement are stable antecedents of usage intention, whereas hedonic value decreases. Concerning outcomes, we highlight the role of subjective well-being and organizational identification from the perspective of users and organizations. Our research offers contributions to the literature on technology adoption and shared micromobility, by highlighting important factors and outcomes that influence the decision to use shared micromobility solutions in closed-campus settings. We also offer methodological contributions. Thanks to the implementation of the field laboratory, we combine declarative survey data with real behavioral data and analyze longitudinal effects. To conclude, we present implications for both managers and policymakers who want to implement shared micromobility services
