The purpose of this thesis project is to develop a set of interactive digital solutions designed to enhance the interest and knowledge intake of visitors at SkÄnes Djurpark (Zoo of Scania) in Höör. The project was carried out in collaboration with SkÄnes Djurpark and representatives from its visitors. Our thesis is based on academic works in the fields of interaction design, exhibit design and contextual learning. Ethnographical field studies have been conducted at SkÄnes Djurpark with additional field studies at Tropikariet in Helsingborg, Copenhagen Zoo and Regionmuseet Kristianstad. Existing information signs in SkÄnes Djurpark are primarily image- and textbased, forcing visitors to divert their attention from the different species of Nordic animals that inhabit the zoological park.

In a preparatory class are newly arrived students who have no or very little knowledge of the Swedish language. Some of the newly arrived pupils may have arrived in Sweden very recently and some of them have no or very limited understanding and experience of how the school system works in their country of origin. The purpose of this study is to find out how education in a selected preparatory class works seen from two SVA-teachers and students perspective. Questions related to my purpose reads as follows:In which way can two of the SVA-teachers respond in a selected preparatory class to their group of newly arrived students?What methods can be used by the two SVA-teachers in a selected preparatory class to their group of newly arrived students' language learning?How does the newly arrived student in a selected preparatory class experience their education and friendship?The study was conducted through a qualitative approach in a selected preparatory class in a multicultural school in a suburb in southern Stockholm. Through observations on six separate occasions as well as interviews with two of the SVA- teachers in the selected preparatory class, and with three of the newly arrived pupils during a period of three weeks.

This study is qualitative and will show what?s causing anxiety in a class. Further it will describe how teacher?s act and how they handle when anxiety becomes a problem in the education.

This qualitative study treats the construction and maintenance of balance between work and private life and how flexibility in the workplace is perceived. The study was conducted using semi-structured interviews and these have been conducted in five large companies around Gothenburg. The analysis and results are based on the phenomenographic method approach and the final results were four themes: Balance, Flexibility, Combining family and work and lifelong learning with related subcategories. The result shows that the construction and maintenance of balance between work and personal life is something that is tied to the indi-viduals and the current situation in life. Two of the most common strategies to maintain a dis-tinction proved to be planning as well as other activities, in order to move the focus away from the work.

Att alla mÀnniskor har olika sÀtt att lÀra in ny kunskap Àr nÄgot de flesta av dagens lÀrare Àr medvetna om. Det inte alla vet, Àr att det finns sÀtt att ta reda pÄ vilken ?kanal? som fungerar bÀst för varje enskild individ. PÄ en av vÄra skolor har man vetskapen om inlÀrningsstilsanalyser som ett instrument. PÄ den andra finns inte denna kunskap hos mer Àn en tredjedel av lÀrarkollegiet.

Syftet med denna studie Àr att studera relationen mellan elevernas lÀrande och de lÀrandemöjligheter som erbjudits i undervisningen. Sju elever i grundskolans Ärskurs 2 och Ärskurs 3 ingick i studien. Undersökningen genomfördes genom en lektionsserie inspirerad av learning study med en teoretisk förankring i variationsteorin, dÀr det Àr centralt hur individer förstÄr och uppfattar det som ska lÀras (Carlsson, 2002). För att kunna analysera relationen mellan elevernas lÀrande och de lÀrandemöjligheter som erbjudits i undervisningen bearbetades data frÄn inspelade strukturerade samtal, elevtexter (texter producerade av elever) och observation. MÄlet med undervisningen var att utveckla en förstÄelse för: varför atmosfÀren och de gröna vÀxterna Àr förutsÀttningar för liv.

Introducing a new type of IT-structure means a change that employees within an organization must adapt to. Today, many companies have implemented information technology in the form of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems and find themselves in th so-called Second Wave stage where an after work is ongoing with continual improvement that involves changes that employees need to understand and act upon. To learn how to work with these recurrent misadventures is of importance because it is seen as a critical factor in order to take advantage of the ERP system and its benefits. To study this a study was conducted through personal interviews at Apoteksgruppen AB which a few years ago introduced a new ERP system. There the authors saw that employees learned in different ways depending on the position, and that the more responsibility this person had the greater freedom this person had to resolve their problems and therefore learned more effectively.

This essay is about literature instruction in the last three years of Sweden?s compulsory school from one teacher?s and six of his pupils? perspective. The research is analysed from a socio-cultural perspective on learning and literature reception.The empiric material is based on interviews with the teacher and six of his students.The research shows that there is a difference between what the pupils read on their spare time and what they read during Swedish instruction.

Denna kvalitativa pilotstudie har som syfte att utifrÄn en fallstudiemetod undersöka varför de som valt MNR gjort det valet, vilken nytta MNR bidragit med bÄde yrkesmÀssigt och personligt, vad den lett till samt vilka för- och nackdelar den flexibla studieformen haft.Pilotstudien Àr baserad pÄ telefonintervjuer med tre studenter som genomgÄtt programmet frÄn allra första programstarten hösten 2001. Intervjuerna har sedan bearbetats med en modifierad fenomenografisk metod.Resultatet visar en mycket positiv hÄllning till MNR frÄn samtliga tre intervjupersoner genom uppfyllda förvÀntningar och mÄl, personlig utveckling och att den flexibla studieformen gjort högre studier möjligt. Men framför allt har nyttan med en examen frÄn högskolestudier lyfts fram. Detta visar att högskolekompetens har stor betydelse vid arbetssökandet men Àven att MNR skapar en bred bas med flera valmöjligheter pÄ framtidens arbetsmarknad..

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur gymnasieelever vill fÄ feedback i Àmnet idrott & hÀlsa, om positiv feedback frÄn idrottslÀraren upplevs som gynnande för elevernas motivation samt att undersöka om motivationsklimatet upplevs som uppgiftsorienterat eller sjÀlvorienterat av eleverna. I studien deltog 8 gymnasielever (4 pojkar, 4 flickor) i Äldern 16 Är. Semistrukturerade intervjuguider anvÀndes under intervjuerna som genomfördes pÄ neutrala platser. Informanterna ville fÄ positiv feedback samt instruktiv feedback. Positiv feedback upplevdes som gynnande för informanternas motivation.

The purpose of this study is to compare the conditions for teaching and learning Sami at primary level in three different types of schools. The study focuses on teachers' views on multilingualism and characteristics of good mother tongue education as well as factors inside and outside school affecting teaching. The classroom environment is also discussed. Six qualitative interviews with practicing teachers in the three school forms were carried out: Sami school, integrated teaching and mother-tongue education. The results showed that the teachers are in favour of multilingualism and feel a responsibility to help more children develop their ability to speak Sami.

This master's thesis examines information literacy and students in secondary education. The study is framed within a sociocultural perspective of learning and the method used is questionnaires. The major question posed is how and where students seek information. Other questions are if the students critically evaluate and analyse in­formation sources and if teachers and school librarians cooperate with each other in order to help the students with their assignments.The findings indicate that most students regard information seeking as fact-finding or finding the right an­swers to the question. Only one third of students experienced information seeking as seeking and using informa­tion for understanding a topic.
