Kulturanvändande bland Unga : En studie om kulturvanor, ungdomars livsvillkor och bibliotekets roll

The aim of this bachelor thesis has been to examine and develop our own understanding about how young people in Sweden (16-29 years of age), take part in cultural activities. As librarians it is important to know what kind of activities and interests this particular group has. With Pierre Bourdieu?s theoretical framework towards habitus and capital we are interested to see if there is a connection between one?s cultural use and background, if different access to capital with or within groups has an affect or not. With both statistics and interviews with people within our target, we believe this data has been sufficient enough to conduct a good and valid study.

Uppfattningar om socio-tekniska system : En hermeneutisk studie kring teknikprogrammets elever och deras uppfattningar om socio-tekniska system

Gymnasiereformen GY11 (SFS 2010:2039) innebar flera förändringar för den nationella gymnasieskolan. Ett program som förändrades i karaktär och omfattning var teknikprogrammet, ett program nu har en pedagogisk utmaning för befintliga och blivande tekniklärare att främst utbilda morgondagens tekniker och ingenjörer - inom kort väntas 18 000 ingenjörer behövas i Sverige. Betraktar man examensmålen för teknikprogrammet kan framför allt fyra av de flera ingående aspekter sammanfattas till följande utifrån examensmålens egen formulering; "Utbildningen ska därför utveckla elevernas förmåga att analysera och förstå tekniska system?.Med det i åtanke så lyfter modern forskning fram att det teknikdidaktiska hantverk som ska förmedlas ut i klassrummen gällande diskussioner om system kräver att den undervisande läraren har väl förtrogna kunskaper om tekniska system. Som sådant är det den enskilde läraren som med sin ämnesdidaktiska insikt kan avgöra vilka aspekter av tekniska system som är av relevans att förmedla, och vart fokus ska vara i undervisningen.Det övergripande syftet med denna studie är att bidra till den kontinuerliga teknikdidaktiska forskningen kring studien av socio-tekniska systemuppfattningar.

Från översättning till undersökning : om att överbrygga klyftan mellan innehåll och form i utställningsprocessen

The making of a cultural historical exhibition usually involves the collaboration of two categories of professionals: the curator, in charge of the exhibition content, and the designer. From these positions, representing content and form, the team is in charge of cooperating towards a shared goal ? the exhibition ? which is the spatial expression of ideas.This MA thesis is based on my work experience as a designer of cultural historical exhibitions. By means of situations where my perspective collided with that of the museum curators?, I examine our different concepts on a number of issues: the meaning of an exhibition; the process; and the perception of what our respective roles are.
