  1. 1. Students as scientists : a study of motivation in the science classroom

    Författare :Jenny Maria Hellgren; Magnus Österholm; Jim Ryder; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; motivation; emotions; experiences; authentic science; student-teacher-scientist partnership; secondary school; implementation; classroom; mathematics; self-determination theory; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

    Sammanfattning : School science and mathematics have been criticized for being difficult, de-contextualised and teacher-centred. This thesis concerns student motivation in science and mathematics in secondary school, and in particular student motivation in relation to student-teacher-scientist partnerships (STSPs) and an authentic science task called the Medicine Hunt where students help scientists to find new antibiotics.

  3. 2. Assessing Scientific Literacy as Participation in Civic Practices : Affordances and constraints for developing a practice for authentic classroom assessment of argumentation, source critique and decision-making

    Författare :Jens Anker-Hansen; Maria Andrée; Per-Olof Wickman; Aik Ling Tan; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; scientific literacy; assessment; authentic; communities of practice; expansive learning; argumentation; peer assessment; moderation meetings; naturvetenskapsämnenas didaktik; Science Education;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis takes a departure from a view of scientific literacy as situated in participation in civic practices. From such a view, it becomes problematic to assess scientific literacy through decontextualised test items only dealing with single aspects of participation in contexts concerned with science.

  4. 3. Imagining Urban Gardening Space : An Ethnographic Study of Urban Gardening in Sweden

    Författare :Ida Åberg; Charlotte Fridolfsson; Jörgen Ödalen; Anna Kaijser; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Public space; urban gardening; Sweden; post-structuralism; psychoanalysis; ethnography;

    Sammanfattning : Urban gardening is a phenomenon that increasingly occupies the limited space in cities. In discourse, urban gardening is constructed as a positive element and as something that can build a productive environment in urban areas. However, using urban space for gardening raises questions about the delimitations of public space. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Simulated "real" worlds : Actions mediated through computer game play in science education

    Författare :Elisabet M. Nilsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computer game play; science education; computer games; game-based learning; mediated action; empirical studies; Agent O; SimCity 4; computer game play science education computer games game-based learning; Agent O; empirical studies; SimCity 4; mediated action;

    Sammanfattning : Over the last decade, a great variety of visionary ideas and beliefs have been brought forward, regarding the potentials of using computer games as a tool for learning and mediation in educational settings. This thesis aims at contributing to research in this field, by empirically exploring what happens when students play and reflect on their computer game play in science education. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Head-mounted Projection Display to Support and Improve Motion Capture Acting

    Författare :Daniel Kade; Oguzhan Özcan; Rikard Lindell; Morten Fjeld; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Current and future animations seek for realistic motions to create an illusion of authentic and believable animations. A technology widely used to support this process is motion capture. Therefore, motion capture actors are used to enrich the movements of digital avatars with suitable and believable motions and emotions. LÄS MER
