The purpose of this study was to investigate some motivational factors that enhancepupils’ written homework performance as well as the obstacles that make writtenhomework a difficult task. The method applied in this thesis is qualitative. Theinvestigation was carried out with the help of semi-structured interviews. The results ofthis study indicate that the pupils have different attitudes to their written homework. Themost interesting result is that not all successful pupils are highly externally motivated.The research shows that external motivational factors can enhance the pupils’ writtenper

Dans un schémas de communication classique, le récepteur essaie de reconstituer une version la plus proche possible des données que l'émetteur souhaite lui transmettre.

Cette mesure n'est cependant pas forcément adaptée si l'on s'intéresse à l'usage qui sera fait des données transmises.Récemment, des schémas de communication orientés vers les objectifs devant être atteints grâce aux données transmises ont été développés.

L'approche maximaliste traditionnelle de la conception des systèmes de communication est de plus en plus inadaptée aux exigences évolutives de la connectivité moderne.

Le paradigme de la communication sémantique orientée sur les objectifs offre une alternative minimaliste en privilégiant la pertinence et l'impact des informations échangées. Cette approche améliore l'efficacité tout en réduisant la consommation des ressourc

The purpose of this quantitative study is to examine receiver variables involved in strategic communications and to look specifically at the use of graphic images in strategic communication materials. It argues that any complete, general model of persuasion effects will include both goal compatibility and emotional determinants. It argues that some influential theories used in strategic communications scholarship, including the situational theory of publics and the elaboration likelihood model, are incomplete because they have omitted these variables.

Abstract:

Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) are intelligent software entities with an embodiment used to communicate with users, using natural language. Their purpose is to exhibit the same properties as humans in face-to-face conversation, including the ability to produce and respond to verbal and nonverbal communication. Researchers in the field of ECAs try to create agents that can be more natural, believable and easy to use. Designing an ECA requires understanding that manner, personality, emotion, and appearance are very important issues to be considered. In this thesis, we are interested in in

Cyberbullying, defined as any behavior performed through electronic or digital media by individuals or groups that repeatedly communicates hostile or aggressive messages intended to inflict harm or discomfort on others, is a widespread problem.

Thesis (DLitt (African Languages))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: It has been observed in human interaction within our social milieu that individuals make attempts from time to time to influence others in order to accomplish their goals. The scholarly interest in the message-production side of this phenomenon has assumed the study of compliance gaining or persuasion (Wilson 2002; Dillard 2004).
