Utnyttjas kulturen? : en undersökning av kulturens roll i regional utveckling
SyfteSyftet med uppsatsen är att förklara hur man inom kultursektorn i praktiken ser på kopplingen kultur och ekonomisk tillväxt. Min avsikt är att studera och analysera både attityder och faktiskt beteende för att se var en eventuell utvecklingspotential finns.MetodUndersökningen har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats och empiriinsamlingen har skett genom ostrukturerade intervjuer. En litteraturgenomgång av befintlig teori inom ämnet har gjorts för att skapa en referensram för analysen av det empiriska materialet.TeoriDen teori som har studerats behandlar främst området kultur, kulturpolitik och kulturens roll(er) i regional utveckling. Även platsmarknadsföring och Cultural Planning beskrivs i teorikapitlet.EmpiriDet empiriska materialet baseras på intervjuer med sex personer som på olika sätt besitter kunskaper inom kulturområdet eller platsmarknadsföring.Analys och slutsatserDe nya roller som kulturen tilldelas i teorin kan vara svåra att omsätta till praktik i och med den uppdelning som fortfarande finns mellan kultursektorn, näringsliv och politiker. För att kunna utvecklas i framtiden tror jag att världarna måste närma sig varandra och utveckla en gemensam begreppsapparat.
Språkutveckling genom musik : En intervjustudie om musik som verktyg för språkutveckling i förskolan
The purpose of my report was to find out how music can benefit the language development of children, whilst getting a glimpse of how the educators in preschools use music as a tool for the language development of children. During the course of the report I?ve used the sociocultural perspective theory as a foundation to stand on, this is most of all visible in my analysis and discussion of the result. In the result we can see that the educators possess insight in the importance of music in childrens development, and that they therefore give music a lot of room in their work. Songs where rhyme and language play are allowed are common elements at the preschool that attracts the children and makes them want to partake. Songs sung with movement is a commonly used combination which also serves to further lift the childrens language development when they, through movement, give meaning to the lyrics. It does however take a devoted educator to make music with the preschool children and to support them and making them want to do it.
Arbetsformer och metoder på handelsprogrammet
By studying the forms of work and methods teachers choose for their teaching on the Business and Administration Programme and by examining the experiences gained by these teachers, I hope to gain a clearer insight into how the demands of national policy/governing documents are met in the actual teaching of the courses within the programme. In my qualitative study,teachers in a team from a Business and Administrative Programme have been my informants. The team combines multiple forms of work and methods in line with the intentions of the national policy/governing documents. Students usually have an unbroken school day with block teaching where they work with case studies and interdisciplinary work. Morals and ethics are integrated in class.
Controllerns roll i utvecklingsprojekt : Fallstudie hos Volvo CE och Scania CV
In order for companies to be competitive they perform different types of development projects. Due to globalization a greater focus is added on costs, not least on costs in development projects. Project controllers are involved in development projects in order to review the financial aspects. The authors have examined the role that project controllers hold in respect of two Swedish manufacturers, Volvo CE and Scania CV. The investigation has revolved around three main issues where the authors conducted interviews with controllers that do not work in development projects and project controllers in development projects. The goal of the interviews was to gain a greater understanding of the role of project controllers, how this role will differ from those that do not work in development projects and the difficulties faced by project controllers.
Genusanalys i barnböcker : En idealtypsanalys av genusnormativa egenskapar i den mest utlånade barnlitteraturen på Gävle stadsbibliotek under år 2010
The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers practice Arne Tragetons theory of using computers as the first writing instrument in reading and writing development. We wanted to clarify how the work from using Tragetons theory was applied while investigating if and how other methods of reading and writing instruction were used. Our interest lays in how the teachers accomplished the knowledge of this theory and also how the choice of this approach came about. To investigate this we used interviews with a qualitative nature, where seven active teachers were interviewed. They worked in three different schools in years one to three, they were all women and had various long experiences of work on the computer writing tools.
Användbar användarmedverkan : Är användarmedverkan positivt för systemutvecklingsprocessen?
Computer use at work has risen considerably over the past fifteen years and is currently a relatively common phenomenon when 76 percent of women and 72 percent of men using the computer in their daily work (SCB Arbetsmiljörapport 2009).According to Gulliksen and Göransson (2009), Sweden is one of the countries which are more advanced in the procurement of computer systems at work. He means that Sweden has unique opportunities and conditions for user participation in the development of computer systems, when the user has the right to influence their working environment through a law in the Work Environment Act. The paper examines the importance of user involvement in system development and the Swedish company's approach and experience of user involvement. To highlight and explore the importance of user involvement, there has been a case study in which users have been representative of the development process. The case study has been conducted on a case company where the system IST analys was in need of a new interface.

Pedagogiskt drama ur ett radikalt perspektiv
In this development essay, we are trying to answer how drama studies in education could develop as a subject. Through participation observations and drama lessons in a development group we investigated how drama could develop within multimodality and how this new thinking could promote the identity among the youth. Two different drama lessons and one test lesson constitute our qualitative method. The methods we mainly used were participation observation and reflection. Through Lalanders and Johanssons, Skolan och den radikala estetikens and Ziehes theories we are trying to answer our questions.
Rutavdraget för läxhjälp : En studie av regeringens interventionslogik och nyckelpersoners uppfattningar i Linköpings kommun
The main purpose of our paper is to reconstruct the intervention logic of the Swedish government's proposal to introduce a tax deduction for homework help. Furthermore, we also intend to outline the perceived impacts of this tax deduction in the municipality of Linköping. Our material consists of the government bill regarding the tax deduction, the parliamentary debate which preceded it as well as interviews with key people in the municipality of Linköping. In our study and in the light of Matthew Clarke?s theory of neo-liberalism within education policy, we also ask ourselves if the intervention logic behind the tax deduction and its perceived effects can be seen as a manifestation of neo-liberalism.
Aktiebolag utan revisor : ett bolag utan extern finansiering?
This work is a study of subject teachers in social studies and science understand the concept of sustainable development. The work uses a qualitative and a quantitative approach. Teachers in various schools and stages have been answering questions about how they perceive sustainability, how they implement it in teaching and if they feel that school is important for the future of sustainable development at large.The theoretical background is based on environmental ethics as well as the different meanings and definitions of the concept of sustainable development. These theories and definitions are coupled with the empirical results.The study concludes that all teachers throughout the study perceive the concept of sustainable development as something ecological, something that has to do with nature. A few teachers also state economic and social dimensions.Questions about how the teachers in the study implement the concept in their teaching can be seen as three different approaches.
