1. What's wrong with engineering education? Comparing and combining a teaching-problematization and a culture-problematization
Sammanfattning : While much has been said about what is wrong with engineering education, the assumptions we make when talking about its problems often remain hidden. One particularly common implicit assumption is that inadequate teaching is the primary antecedent of educational problems. LÄS MER
2. Inequality in Educational Outcomes : How Aspirations, Performance, and Choice Shape School Careers in Sweden
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines different aspects of educational inequalities, drawing on the notion that inequality in educational attainment depends on two separate mechanisms: that children from advantaged social backgrounds perform better at school (primary effects) and tend more than others to choose to continue in education given performance (secondary effects). Study I shows that the long-term decrease in social class inequality in the transition from compulsory to academic upper secondary education since the middle of the mid-20th century up to the late 1990s, seems to be related to both declining primary and secondary effects.

Sammanfattning : The main argument of this thesis is that research has to take the institutional character of education seriously. Educational institutions carry considerable weight for outcomes of education and their design is a matter of intense political debate. LÄS MER
4. Developing educational computer-assisted simulations : Exploring a new approach to researching learning in collaborative health care simulation contexts
Sammanfattning : Health care education is developing and simulations, in different guises, are gaining increasing attention as a means of overcoming tensions between instructional models and educational objectives. The role of simulations is, however, yet to be fully defined and will be dependent on the actual impact simulations on educational practice. LÄS MER
5. Out-of-Home Care and Educational Outcomes : Prevalence, Patterns and Consequences

About 5% of the Swedish population experience OHC during childhood or adolescence. LÄS MER
