AbstractTitle: Effective internal communication ?A case study on communication between a manager and the employees in a sportsclub.Number of pages: 40, without enclosuresAuthor: Susan AnderssonTutor: Peder Hård af SegerstadCourse: Media and Communication Studies CPeriod: Second term 2005University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala UniversityPurpose/Aim: I aim to do a case study of a work situation, where there is no natural or direct form of feedback between the manager and the employees, and compare the purpose of the information efforts with how it is perceived by the employees.Material/Method: Qualitative research method, including an assembling method in the form of interviews, and a processing method of those interviews.Main results: All the used channels combined together (except one channel) seem to have created the right condition so that the content of the information can be perceived and used as the way it was supposed to, even though there?s no direct feedback of the information. The manager gets feedback indirectly and can therefore adapt the messages, or the information efforts, to the receivers.Keywords: Organizational communication, Internal communication, Information, Feedback..

The purpose of this study was to to examine what teachers think about visual art and how the learning process in this subject does look like. To answer these issues, I made interviews with five teachers of visual art from different schools, and I examined several examples of pupils? artworks. The stories of the teachers were analyzed in relation to governing documents and with assumptions from sociocultural theory, postmodernism and pedagogical - aesthetic research as theoretical point of view.By the qualitative interview method, the observations of the pupil?s artworks, and by the analysis of the interviews with the teachers, I have come to the conclusion that teachers think differently about art but they try to keep themselves in line with the national governing documents.

In recent years the arts institutions? role in society have changed.

This thesis aims to discuss the development of a new visual identity for the public and non-profit institution Malmö konsthall.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka betydelsen av uppskattning och feedback bland anställda vid äldreboenden och vad det gör med motivationen till arbetet. Detta är en kvalitativ studie som vi valde att utföra genom sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med anställda vid fyra olika äldreboenden. Materialet har analyserats med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Vad har uppskattning och feedback för betydelse hos de anställda och hur påverkar det arbetsmotivationen?Resultaten i studien visar bland annat att respondenterna upplever lite uppskattning och feedback i det dagliga arbetet och de önskar mer av både chef såväl som kollegor. Det förekommer viss uppskattning från anhöriga men det är inte allt för ofta.Slutsatsen av studien är att uppskattning och feedback har både en positiv och negativ påverkan, detta handlar mycket om individuella upplevelser hos anställda.

The purpose of this thesis is to find how to work with pedagogical documentation with the aesthetic subjects of dance, music and visual arts. The study also aims to investigate how teachers themselves believe that documentation of these subjects make visible the children?s learning processes. Also to explore if there are any differences in how teachers document the various subjects, and if so, how they can learn from each other to develop the work with pedagogical documentation. I have chosen to use qualitative interviews with a selection of three pre-school teachers who have been working with either dance, music or visual arts.

This is the report on a study made to find a correlation between the Johari window and the games that the possessor of given Johari window enjoys to play. A Johari window is a graph that shows an individual?s ability to receive and give feedback. One obvious correlation was found between individuals enjoying role playing games and their possessing Johari windows showing a good ability to give feedback. The reasoning behind this is that the ability to give feedback is based on the capability to express oneself to the external environment, and that one would need to be comfortable with expressing oneself to an external environment in order to enjoy interacting with the narrative that takes place within the role playing genre..

Dessa faktorer har vi delat in i fyra rubriker som genomsyrar hela uppsatsen, de är Delaktighet, Feedback, Arbetsmiljö och Lärandet. Data samlades in genom att enkäter som lämnades ut till 97 produktionsarbetare på två olika företag. I resultatet belyses personalens åsikter och upplevelser om feedback, delaktighet, arbetsmiljö och lärande och hur det påverkar dem i arbetet. Slutsatser som kan dras är att respondenterna i vår undersökning mår bra men de skulle få ännu bättre hälsa om de kände mer delaktighet och om de skulle få feedback när de gjort bra ifrån sig.
