This case study addressed the factors that enhanced or constrained the success of one Promise Academy at an elementary school in the northeastern United States.

Prior to 1997 the research carried out on corporate governance around the world was minimal. However, after the crisis that swept the financial markets and economics of the major Asian countries in 1997, and the notorious collapse of Enron in 2001, the interest in corporate governance has increased. Therefore, corporate governance has attracted considerable attention in the area of academic research and on the agenda of public policy debates in both developed and less-developed countries. An improved corporate governance system is now viewed as an essential feature of companies, and it can ser

Abstract:

Most contemporary early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings in Western-heritage contexts are play-based. Play has become a central component of ECEC provision through the writings of Romantic philosophers of the 17th century and the spread of the child-centred approach in the latter half of the 20th century. Such an approach places what the child is interested in – notably represented by her/his play – in the centre of ECEC. What interests the child has been seen to represent what s/he is currently learning. Any interference with this from the adult has been seen to inhibit learning.

Afterschool programs provide more than a supervised safe haven for children at the end of the school day and before parents return home from work. They can provide extended academic and enrichment activities for students who are “at-promise” to succeed in their educational pursuit and human development.

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to develop a critical understanding of the process by which stakeholders leverage tourism and business legacy outcomes from mega sports events. It is common now for many mega sport events stakeholders to look beyond short-term impacts towards achieving long-term legacy outcomes. This indicates that mega sport events have become a part of a broader process that must be invested in throughout the planning process, before, during and after the event. Within previous leveraging approaches, whilst mega sport events are temporally contained, the effect of leveraging is su

Abstract:

Naturalisation, the process whereby a non-national becomes a citizen, is a space where the national boundaries are demarcated institutionally and symbolically. Despite this, social psychology has generally disregarded citizenship as a topic of research. Against this background, this thesis argues that citizenship is a dynamic concept embedded in a system of self-other relations. The thesis examines processes of national identity construction within the naturalisation context of the United Kingdom. In particular, this research explores representations of citizenship held by three key stakeholde

Distance education (DE) in Brazilian higher education level has been growing since the early 2000. This educational method has been becoming more popular, due to its geographic and space flexibility as well as for its potential to take education to remote areas; that is, to people who would not be able to access a traditional face-to-face institution. Additionally, this growth leads to an increase in competition, which enhances the need to assess results.

Abstract:

Internationalist perspectives towards child labor have been adopted in India by both the national government and NGOs. These perspectives conceptualize childhood as a protected period of life lasting until age 18. Education and play, but not work, are considered appropriate activities for children. Although poverty has been acknowledged as a contributing factor, the reason children work has also commonly been framed as one of ignorant or unprincipled parents exploiting their children and squandering their future. The solution, according to anti-child labor discourse, is universal primary educa

Informed by Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) eco-systemic model of development, the current research sought to explore how children and young people with selective mutism are understood, identified and supported in school settings. In order to gain detailed and distinct information about these issues, the perceptions and experiences of key stakeholders involved in cases of selective mutism were examined. Participants included nine Educational Psychologists (EPs), five Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs), 3 teachers and two parents (n=19). This research adopted a qualitative research design using semi

In consideration of the mounting importance o(firm growth in today's economy, there was a vital necessity to address ) a gap in the growth literature as a matter of priority. Over the duration of this research project, a review of the relevant literatures revealed that existing research on firm growth was underdeveloped both conceptually and empirically. Consequently, the overall aim of this doctoral study was to gain a greater understanding of firm growth by means of a comparison of the experiences and perspectives of the high-growth firm stakeholders in Northern Ireland in an attempt to buil

Abstract:

Technology innovation is one of the defining attributes of the 21st century. The banking sector amongst other key sectors has embraced the use of new technologies to offer electronic banking (e-banking) services. E-banking has been introduced in various economies of the world as a way of delivering effective and efficient banking services. Despite the several benefits of e-banking technologies, many individual bank customers in Nigeria have not adopted most of the available channels. ATM has remained the most patronized compared to other channels such as the point of sales (POS), online bankin

Abstract:

Emotional literacy (EL) provides a basis for understanding how relationships between teachers and students contribute to effective learning. This facet of schooling is central to the growing interest in positive education and the place of positive psychology in schooling. As schools are relational organisations, EL provides a cornerstone for building pro-social values and social-emotional skills that can help make schools more satisfying places to work and learn. The thesis comprises two interrelated studies of multiple stakeholders’ perspectives of EL in a case study school (school executive

The engineering education has changed and evolved over decades in harmonywith societies challenges. Today, sustainable development is of great importanceand one way of equipping future engineers with the competencies to tackle these challenges is through Challenge Driven Education (CDE). CDE is a relatively new educational concept which brings together universities andexternal stakeholders to jointly foster the engineers of tomorrow. The research focuses on the challenge owner’s perspective, which is a sub-category of external stakeholder. The challenge owner could be a company or organisation

Abstract:

Much academic research has studied the factors that increase adoption of online government services. However, the study areas have generally been relatively simple transactional environments focussed on specific consumer roles, and where "the computer can decide". However, this is not representative of all government services: many off-line services involve multiple government organisations or departments. Some services are used by a large range of different stakeholders who have different expectations and experiences of the administrative process concerned. Some require non-numeric elements t

Abstract:

There is a lack in research on the perspectives of different managerial roles on data about software projects in software analytics tools, such as the perspectives of chief financial officers (CFOs), chief executive officers (CEOs) and compliance officers. Today, software analytics tools are mainly developed to address the needs of technical stakeholders such as developers, but research shows that there exist potentials of expanding this technical users’ scope of focus to also include higher level stakeholders, such as managers. The goal of this study is to explore what managers working in sof

Abstract:

The collection, storage, export and use of human biological samples are important research practices in international collaborative research. However, the limitations of current ethical and regulatory frameworks to govern these research practices have resulted in inconsistencies in practice and a number of ethical concerns for researchers, institutions and research ethics committees (RECs). The aim of this thesis was to contribute to an empirically-informed understanding of the ethical issues arising in the export, storage and future uses of human biological samples from sub-Saharan Africa (SS
