Syftet med arbetet är att kvalitativt undersöka matematiklärares åsikter omkring problemlösning på gymnasienivå; hur de uttalar sig om sin användning av problemlösning i sin undervisning och vilka fördelar och nackdelar de menar att det finns med att elever arbetar med problemlösning i sina matematikstudier. I min undersökning har jag intervjuat fem matematiklärare med olika bakgrunder och undervisningserfarenheter. Resultatet visar att lärarna har olika ramverk för hur de definierar och arbetar med problem och problemlösning. Tidigare forskning visar att en lyckad matematikundervisning genom problemlösning kräver tydliga ramverk. Att undervisa matematik genom problemlösning kan ge många positiva effekter, men lärarnas olika ramverk gör att de prioriterar och arbetar olika med problemlösning i sin undervisning..

I work on a lighting design for a dance performance to be on tour. A lighting design adapted for three different conditions was made: - One comprehensive where I allow myself a great deal of creative freedom, adapted for the stages with major technical conditions. - One smaller version for stages with less equipment and with less time for preparation on site. - One design for very simple conditions. I also examine the specific differences between typical theatrical lighting design and typical dance lighting design, and the best way to prepare for the hands-on stage design phase..

Vår avsikt med uppsatsen var att utvärdera e-handelslösningen osCommerce utifrån ett ramverk som vi skapade och genom en enklare installation av e-handelssystemet. Utvärderingen gjordes för att underlätta för en potentiell intressent att välja eller förkasta osCommerce. Genom att läsa om e-handel och IT i facklitteratur och på Internet hittade vi aspekter som vi ansåg var viktiga att beakta när det gällde kvaliteten på en e-handelslösning. Dessa aspekter - administration, funktioner och layout, säkerhet, teknologi, resursåtgång, installation, marknadsföring samt flexibilitet - kom att utgöra utvärderingskriterier i vårt ramverk. För att ta reda på vad användarna av osCommerce tyckte om systemet genomförde vi semistrukturerade intervjuer via e-post.

Syftet med denna rapport har varit att beskriva hur man utvecklar en internetbokhandel i form av enwebbapplikation samt att dokumentera erfarenheter från programutveckling.För att kompensera för konkurrenternas stordriftsfördelar valdes en inriktning mot att säljapresentböcker. Genom att leverera ett komplett paket med inslagning och personlig hälsningtillsammans med boken ska det bli möjligt att uppnå lönsamhet.Utvecklingen har skett i ett enmansprojekt och den ensamme projektmedlemmen har befunnit sig påIrland. Detta gör att kursens inriktning mot agila metoder fått anpassas så att endast de relevantadelarna av metoden (SCRUM) har kommit till användning. Utvecklingen har genomförts i femsprintar.Teknikplattformen har varit HTML och ramverket Bootstrap (CSS och jQuery) på klientsidan och Flasksom är ett ramverk baserat på Python på serversida. Databashanteraren har varit SQLite.

A design methodology to mitigate timing problems due to long wire delays is proposed. The timing problems are taking care of at architecture level instead of layout level in this design method so that no change is needed when the whole design goes to backend design. Hence design iterations are avoided by using this design methodology. The proposed design method is based on STARI architecture, and a novel initialization mechanism is proposed in this paper. Low frequency global clock is used to synchronize the communication and PLLs are used to provide high frequency working clocks.

This thesis introduces Kongjian Yu?s design approach in terms of industrial heritage conservation in connection to transformation and urban design. The approach is examined respectively on two cases from China and USA. The thesis give a brief introduction to current achievement in conservation research and general profile of industrial conservation practice. Based on case and theory study, Yu?s design approach is carefully applied to an industrial area Nyhamnen in Malmö and a design proposal is produced.

Service Design is a relatively new, unexplored and exciting phenomenon that through an interdisciplinary work methodology designs services. A discussion has been going on for a long time regarding whether there is a difference between products and services. Services are often classified as immaterial, heterogeneous, non-storable and inseparable in relation to products. A question that arises is if something specific characterises the work methodology used regarding service design. The aim with this paper is thus to explain the work methodology when working with service design.

A current issue today is to try to implement creative design as a way to solve wicked problems in scientific contexts such as HCI. Since the problems are wicked, they have no given solution which makes the traditional methods inadequate. In these cases, creative design can be an alternative. Creative design is not used in scientific contexts because it is viewed as something unaccountable.In this essay we argue that creative design not necessarily have to be unaccounted. We discuss various views of creative design and translate theory to a practical context.

Denna uppsats behandlar design av mobila tjänster från ett användbarhetsperspektiv i en turismkontext. Studien hade flera syften, där det teoretiska bidraget var att ta fram ett teoretiskt ramverk för design av mobila tjänster. Detta ramverk innehåller bland annat begreppen kontext, informationspresentation och navigering. Det praktiska bidraget var att skapa en prototyp, utifrån det teoretiska ramverket, av en mobil turisttjänst som sedan utvärderades. Studien innehöll tre faser, den första var en litteraturstudie som resulterade i det teoretiska ramverket.

This paper deals with the difficulties of applying user-centered design practices as an independent developer, based on the visualization of a game concept in the form of a prototype. The aim is to evaluate the usability of user-centered design practices, specifically in the field of games development. Throughout this paper, I will give an account of the methods used for testing, as well as a review of previous research done in this field of study. Finally, I will end with a discussion regarding the pros and cons of user-centered design, as well as some thoughts about its importance in similar projects..

Denna studie har resulterat i en design av en webbplats som ämnar informera om tjänstedesign. Uppsatsen beskriver arbetsgången och diskuterar även projektmetoden scrum som använts under projektets designfas, för att utröna dess lämplighet i interaktionsdesignprojekt. Särskilt fokus läggs på hur projektmetoden påverkat användbarheten i den designlösning som producerats. Information om användarna har inhämtats genom intervjuer med praktiserande tjänstedesigners och tjänstedesignstudenter i olika Europeiska länder. Datainsamlingen och analysen av denna har följt metoden måldriven design.

Arbetar organisationen agilt? Det är huvudfrågan i detta arbete. Organisationen har arbetat med den agila utvecklingsetoden Scrum i ett antal år. De har gjortmedvetna och omedvetna val, för att skapa sin version av Scrum. Frågan som studienförsöker svara på är om det verkligen innebär att man arbetar agilt, när man säger attman arbetar med en agil systemutvecklingsmetod..

The background to this study is the government’s investment in design and the increase of design education around the country. As a future design teacher (industrialdesign) at high school/college, it is of great interest for me to look closer at student’s attitude towards design and design educations at high school.Questions that have been investigated are student´s attitude towards design; design as a concept but also as a phenomenon. How does the student counselor inform the students of the differentchoices before choosing high school?Does the students view on design correspond to what the student counselor say?What opinion does the student counselor have to the concept design as well as design in highschool? Is design just a craze or here to stay?To get answers I have made interviews with student counselors at two different schools, I have also been in contact with a student counselor on the internet. Their thoughts will clarify thesituation that the students might be in.

The aim of this report is to see whether the graphic design of a game influences children?s will to play games. I am especially looking at minimalist graphic design and how well it works for a game aimed at children age 7-9. Does the style of the game design have any impact at all concerning the children?s wish to play the game or is the game mechanic all that matters.

Websites today only offer simpler form of technical analysis and are not fun to use, therefore student decided to build a website that makes technical analysis a bit more fun by giving user possibility to experiment with settings for technical indicators and also see clear visible results from analysis. Student decided to build website in ASP.NET. Technical indicators for this project only consist of those who give buy and sell-signals via cross-over, no divergence or pattern finding.This project has three questions that define this project. It?s important that there is good functionality so that performing an analysis is perceived as simple, one question is therefore; what functionality for website is needed in order for analysis to be perceived as more simple?Technical analysis is a pretty complex subject and demands an interface that is perceived as easy to understand and easy to use, it?s therefore important that the interface is well designed, second question is therefore; how should the interface be designed to be user-friendly?When systems grow large they often become hard to develop and later on unmaintainable because of the accumulated complexity and dependency between classes, the code is a mess, the last question is therefore; how can the systems complexity be eased with object-oriented design principles?Jakob Nielsens ten heuristics for User Interface Design were used as inspiration for designing the interface for the website.
