Genom historien har myndigheter och samhället haft intresse av att människor lever ett hälsosamt liv. Hälsoprojekt har kommit att få en allt större betydelse i samhället och målet är ofta att öka deltagarnas medvetenhet så att de har möjlighet att leva ett mer hälsosamt liv och minska risken för sjukdom. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka deltagarnas uppfattningar om vad gruppen haft för betydelse för deras motivation till träning. Vi är även intresserade av att studera deltagarnas uppfattning kring vad gruppen haft för betydelse för deras lärande om träning i hälsoprojektet. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna är motivation och lärande.

Svensk motivationsforskning bedrivs nästintill uteslutande med eleven i fokus. Forskning av lärares tankar kring motivation och motivationsarbete tycks i dagsläget vara en bristvara. För att belysa denna fråga djupintervjuades fyra lärare, verksamma i grundskolans senare delar, om sina tankar kring motivationsbegreppet och motivationsarbete. Utifrån ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv tematiseras dessa lärares tankar. Vidare analyseras motivationsarbetet efter fem forskningsförankrade kriterier: positiva förväntningar, fokus på bemästrande, gynnsamt gruppklimat, olika typer av motivation och relationer utanför skolan.

Mitt syfte har varit att utreda vad som motiverar fastighetsmäklaren i sin yrkesroll samt att utreda hur dess chefer bedömer medarbetarnas motivation och dess påverkan för arbetsprestationen. Jag har använt flera teorier som kunnat kopplats till empirins resultat. Några av de slutsatser som framkommit är bland annat att motivationsfaktorer varierar beroende på individ och därmed fastighetsmäklare. Nöjda kunder, trivsel på arbetsplatsen, varierade arbetsuppgifter och en god lön har dock uppkommit vara betydande motiverande faktorer för mäklarna. Cheferna bör skapa en bättre dialog med mäklarna för att öka medvetenheten kring medarbetarnas motivationsfaktorer.

Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att studera huruvida individuella målsättningaranvänds inom elitfotboll. Dessutom undersöktes vilka målsättningsstrategier som föredrassamt vilka av dem som uppfattas som mest effektiva. Vidare studerades hur användningen avolika målsättningsstrategier är relaterat till elitfotbollspelares upplevda kompetens ochmotivation.

Motivationsforskningen i allmänhet och självbestämmandeteorin i synnerhet, pekar på vikten av inre motivation när det kommer till att predicera ett aktivt liv på lång sikt. Denna studie undersöker sambandet mellan elevers motivation till idrottslektioner och det stöd som finns i deras omgivning. Vidare undersöks om det finns något samband mellan upplevelsen av stöd från läraren och upplevt stöd från kamrater och föräldrar på fritiden. En enkätundersökning bland ett urval av Umeå kommuns niondeklassare genomfördes. Resultatet av regressionsanalysen visade på att upplevt lärarstöd jämfört med upplevt stöd på fritiden, har en större betydelse för elevers upplevelse av inre motivation.Resultatet visade även på ett medelstort samband mellan upplevelsen av stöd på fritiden och upplevt lärarstöd.

Title: From inspectors to guides: how citizen journalism and participatory cultureaffect the professional identity of Swedish journalists (Swedish title: Från granskaretill guide: om medborgarjournalistikens och deltagarkulturens påverkan på svenskajournalisters professionella identitet).Number of pages: 44 (48 including enclosures).Authors: Towe Bengtsson and Matilda Källén.Tutor: Amelie Hössjer.Course: Media and Communication Studies C.Period: Fall 2011.University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Informatics andMedia, Uppsala University.Purpose/Aim: The goal of this paper was to answer how citizen journalism andparticipatory journalism as well as an increasing range of information today haveaffected the professional identity and professional lives of journalists. In addition tothis, study how journalists today respond to these changes.Material/Method: The study is based on Deuze?s theories about journalistic ideals,Jenkins? theories about convergence culture, and on theories about professionalizationand de-professionalization based on Nygren, Wiik and Torstendahl?s theories. Thestudy is based on eight interviews with professional journalists, four employedjournalists and four freelance journalists. The results are analysed based on a broadtheoretical framework.Main results: The results of this survey show that the role of the professionaljournalist is extremely complex, with a strong ideological basis that fundamentallyinfluences the journalist's view of the profession and of him- or herself.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the managers? perspective on leadership in relation to the motivation of the employees by an example of a manning and recruitment agencies. This is implemented by framing of two questions; What kind of leadership can be identified by middle managers to motivate their employees? Which motivation factors are relevant to employees based on the perspective of the managers? To answer the question and identify leadership strategies and motivational factors and the relationship in between, we have conducted eight interviews with persons who hold a middle management position. Through a qualitative investigation we have been able to go into depth and had access to these managers reflections, thoughts and experiences.

Syftet med studien är att genom kvalitativa intervjustudier undersöka vad lärare uppfattar kan vara orsaken till att en del elever tappar lust och motivation till matematiken, om lärarens egen inställning påverkar eleverna, samt hur lärare uppfattar att lärare kan undervisa för att främja elevers lust och motivation till matematikämnet. Denna studie utgår från forskningsmetoden fenomenografi som går ut på att finna olika uppfattningar hos ett fenomen.Genom resultatet av denna studie framkommer det att det handlar om att skapa ett varierande lärande för eleverna och att eleverna får konkreta mål att arbeta mot. Lärarna i studien är alla överens om att den inställning läraren har till matematikämnet med stor möjlighet kommer att spegla av sig på eleverna och menar att det är viktigt att läraren går in med attityden att matematik är roligt och viktigt.De slutsatser som kan dras av detta resultat är att det är viktigt att läraren kontinuerligt granskar sin egen syn på ämnet och att läraren individanpassar undervisningen så att alla elever får möjlighet att känna lust och motivation för matematiken..

Den här uppsatsen handlar om motivation i monotona arbeten. Vi har även undersökt lönens betydelse i monotona arbeten. Det vill säga arbetar man endast för lönens skull eller finns det andra faktorer som spelar in?Undersökningen är av en kvantitativ form och är gjord på Posten logistik och på ett brevbärarkontor i Karlstad. Först utgick vi från Maslow, Herzberg samt Hackman & Oldham för att koppla samman monotont arbete och motivation.

AbstractSince 1990, special needs educators have been working in both primary and junior school. It has not been easy for the special needs educators to take authority when working with broader educational issues due to the varying requirements placed upon them. The object of this study is to examine how certain primary and junior school teachers describe their expectations of special needs educators and their professional role.I have conducted individual interviews with three primary school teachers and three junior school teachers, who have at least five years experience of working within their respective fields. The interviews have been scrutinized, and the results are presented with the help of five different themes. The results were then analysed in accordance with the two perspectives of special needs education described by Persson (2001) those of both the relational and the categorical perspective.Amongst other things the results show that the view of primary and junior school teachers with regards to special needs educators differ one from another.

En distinktion görs mellan inre och yttre motivation. Inre motivationframstår när individen agerar därför att det genuint intresserar henne.Yttre motivation framstår när individen agerar för extern belöning.Self-Determination teorin föreskriver att tillsammans ger degrundläggande psykologiska behoven autonomi, kompetens ochrelaterande upphov till inre motivation. Teorin sammankopplarmotivation med personlighetsorienteringar genom tremotivationsstilar: självbestämmande stil, kontrollerande stil ochopersonlig stil. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandetmellan en individs inre motivation och individens generellaarbetsmotivation, samt hur psykologiska behov korrelerar med deolika motivationsstilarna. En enkätstudie genomfördes med 87deltagare.
