Abstract:

This thesis concerns the development of a diagramming technique which assists in the specification of information systems requirements. The technique is called the Business Rules Diagram (BRD) although earlier versions were given different names. The term development in the title of this thesis is defined here to include both the work involved in designing the BRD as well as testing its usefulness. So, the scope of this research covers research activity starting from the original idea for the diagram through to testing its usefulness.Action research was the research method used. In all, two ma

Abstract:

This is a largely qualitative, part quantitative, inquiry into the effectiveness of classroom modelling in helping tertiary students prepare for their AS-level examinations. Classroom modelling, a form of peer modelling developed by the author, draws substantially upon neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), a discipline regarded as controversial in education. Classroom modelling involves students investigating each other's more successful practices and drawing out elements that might be woven into their own practice.

This was done in order to better understand the roots and evolution of these models which are currently used by donor agencies both nationally and internationally. It was found that logic models, which are used for both project management and evaluation, had their origins in a range of domains including management, education and curriculum design from as early as 1909.

Modelling is a core competence for teacher educators.

The researcher, a university-based teacher educator, adopted a second-person practice approach to collaborate with a team of teacher educators and their trainees in an English further education college (FEC).

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to better understand the role of the facilitator in action learning groups. In particular, it focuses on groups established within an organisation, in which the facilitator is a member of the organisation. The two central research questions are: (1) How did the facilitator influence problem solving and group interactions, and how did this vary over time and between each group, and (2) How did the facilitator's role in the organisation impact on the action learning groups? The methodology of action research and a number of principles of grounded theory are employed. Th

Abstract:

Action-research's epistemological problem is that it proposes an opposition to positivist forms of social inquiry while implicitly using a positivist epistemology to justify its own procedures. This work is an attempt to formulate an alternative epistemology for action-research. A selection of action-research writing is critically reviewed in order to show the lacunae and inconsistencies which necessitate a more thoroughly argued theoretical framework. This alternative epistemology is based on a reflexive theory of consciousness and language, and on a dialectical theory of the self-other relat

The sex of an individual is established by a complex interplay of genetic and hormonal factors during early development. Differentiation of the external genitalia concordant with genetic sex is essential, as abnormalities fundamentally compromise reproductive capacity. Much current understanding of this process comes from the study of pathological phenotypes, which provides some insight into the underlying genetics. Beyond this, because of a lack of relevant material, there is a general reliance on animal models and cancer cell lines to study the underlying pathways. Neither of these approache

Abstract:

The objective of my thesis is to enhance the understanding of compressive membrane action (arching action) in concrete slabs with special relevance to composite bridge deck slabs. Compressive membrane action is a common structural phenomenon in laterally restrained concrete slabs and enhances the loading capacity of laterally restrained slabs due to in-plane thrust derived from the restraint offered by the boundary conditions. The aim of this research is to establish the behaviour of bridge deck slabs using the nonlinear finite element method and experimental tests. More and more bridges built

Active packaging systems can offer significant advantages in preventing quality loss in horticultural products through control of microbial and/or physiological activity. By delivering and sustaining volatile active agents at effective levels in a package atmosphere, significant shelf life extension can thus be achieved.
