Abstract:

In Tanzania, the enrolment in school is high but the students’ performance is in general low. Parents are seen as important agents to provide students with opportunities to succeed in school. It is therefore of interest to investigate what is being said about parental involvement (PI) in the Tanzanian school. The aim with this study is to identify and analyse common assumptions about PI in the context of the Tanzanian primary school. We had the opportunity to travel to Tanzania for eight weeks to investigate this. Qualitative semi-structured interviews with eight parents and two teachers about

Using transcribed data from six Spanish-English bilingual children (1;8 to 3;3) from the Perez corpus in the CHILDES database, this thesis examines Parental Discourse Strategies (PDS) used to influence child language use in a minority language context (Spanish in the United States). PDS (Lanza, 1992; 1997) are situated within a language socialization framework (Ochs & Schieffelin, 2011) and can be viewed as part of the emerging field of family language policy (King & Fogle, 2013; Schwartz, 2010).

This thesis examines an instance of the failure of a parent-led bid for a new local school in Queensland at the end of the last millennium. This parent-led and school-endorsed initiative failed despite a policy climate that appeared actively to encourage such initiatives from government funded school communities. The work shows that the parents of Sunnyvale College, (a pseudonym), were both encouraged by the policy environment and discouraged by the response given to their new schooling initiative, from being full educational partners in the process of the schooling of their children.

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I explore, through qualitative means, the perceptions of parents related to discourse (what is said and not said) within formalized and required processes of special education. These processes are federal requirements that parents of children with disabilities or suspected disabilities encounter as their children progress through the school system. The processes purportedly protect the rights of children with disabilities. The goal of the process is to help children with disabilities make academic gains by providing scaffolds that meet their individual needs. During this

Sammanfattning Att utbilda och erbjuda föräldrar stöd i föräldraskapet är inget nytt fenomen, utan har skett på olika sätt sedan 1600-talet. Synen på föräldrar har genom tiderna haft olika fokus, vilket lett till att insatserna för att stödja föräldrarna har varierat. Idag finns ett överflöd av information, råd, utbildning och kurser kring föräldraskapet. Hur föräldrar ska göra eller inte göra diskuteras flitigt i olika medier. Därmed får vi en viss bild av föräldrarollen. Studiens ambition har varit att visa en tolkningsmöjlighet av föräldrarollen. Hur konstrueras begreppet förälder? Med insp

Abstract:

Introduction: Many children restrict their food intake, some to the extent that they receive clinical intervention. Much of the literature on feeding difficulties implicates parents’ actions in the mealtimes as relevant for outcomes around eating behaviour in the child. However, there is little consideration of the discourses and constructions made by parents in the understanding of their children’s eating and mealtimes. A discourse analytic project was therefore undertaken with the aims of finding how parents talked (or used language) about their child’s eating and mealtimes both within a mea

The aim is to be considered in the light of the SSIA’s commitment to gender equality, a policy that promotes equal access to the insurance of parents to share the parent’s insurance

This thesis explores professional and parental discourses in relation to gastrostomy feeding technologies.

Current clinical and research arenas bring health care providers, children and their families to make decisions about children's feeding. A prevalent medical discourse in feeding disabled children revolves around malnourishment and poor growth, prompting a perception of the need for a gastrostomy feedi

It was hypothesized that females would show assimilative discourse patterns through the maintenance of conversational topics, while males would show accommodative patterns through more frequent changes in conversational topic, and that the roots of this pattern lie in family conversation.

Introduction: Parenting Training Programmes (PTPs) are commonly used to improve parenting skills and are offered through health and community services in the UK.

PTPs have political as well as clinical aims in terms of reducing social problems and crime. Despite evidence of efficacy, the current study hypothesised that PTPs may potentially disempower parents, children and those who facilitate them because of the tenden

Abstract:

Kiva is an international non-governmental organization that competes for funds with others in the field. As a consequence, some special relationships and dependencies are formed. This paper argues that among the most significant ones are the representations of borrowers on Kiva’s online lending platform. The work hypothesizes that while Kiva has the potential to create a friendly environment where both participatory and problem-solving style of communication is encouraged, the organization turns out to be a development factor with international importance which inevitably influences the stereo

Abstract:

Le droit de l'obligation alimentaire entre epoux, parents et enfants connait un "pluralisme legislatif". A l'examen de la jurisprudence, il est plus d'unite que de diversite. N'est-ce pas a ce principe de base qu'il faut repondre : existe-t-il et dans quelle mesure un devoir d'aider? la definition de l'obligation alimentaire s'articule autour de deux idees : une regle de conduite, sous l'action "venir en aide", enchassee dans une regle de calcul, sous l'equation "fortune-besoin". Reste la question : laquelle de ces deux regles precede l'autre? le debiteur ne vient en aide au creancier que si c

Magister Psychologiae - MPsych<br>This qualitative, exploratory study comprises a discourse analysis of the emotional experiences of the parent of a transgendered child. The primary aim of the study was to detail the emotional experiences encountered by the parents of a transgendered child within the South African context, with a focus on how discourse is used to make sense of experiences. The research employed a single case-study, and data was collected via three semi-structured interviews. The data was analysed within a social constructionist framework, using discourse analysis (as per ten s

Abstract:

Many scholars contend that family relationships are nonvoluntary despite evidence that suggests family estrangement is both significant and on the rise. Typically, family estrangement is a serious life rupture often brought on by physical, emotional, or psychological abuse. In order to explore this understudied phenomenon, I began by applying a discourse dependence perspective framework to analyze 52 accounts from adult children who voluntarily and intentionally distanced themselves from a parent or parents with whom they had a negative relationship. Specifically, I engaged in thematic analysi

Abstract:

Despite the widespread recommendation that schools "collaborate" with parents, little is found in the literature to elaborate on what this term or the common synonym "partnership" means, and further, how schools can invite diverse parental contributions to the table of educational discourse. The current study looks to contribute to the literature by analyzing the parent participation discourse in one community elementary school, utilizing critical discourse analysis and ethnographic observations. The findings reveal both school and parents' conceptions of the parents' partnership role as ancil

Abstract:

A intenção deste estudo foi analisar o discurso dos pais em relação ao seu filho com queixa de retardo de linguagem, destacando as marcas indiciárias da constituição dessa criança enquanto objeto do desejo dos pais. Realizamos entrevistas com dois casais e uma mãe, as quais foram gravadas e posteriormente transcritas. Utilizamos os fundamentos teóricos da Psicanálise Lacaniana e da Análise de Discurso de filiação francesa, para estudo das metáforas e metonímias no discurso dos pais. Os resultados mostraram que os pais ao falarem a respeito de seus filhos produzem uma metáfora de si próprios qu
