  1. 1. Letters & Bytes : Sociotechnical Studies of Distance Education

    Författare :Francis Lee; Ulf Mellström; Boel Berner; Adrian Mackenzie; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sociology of technology; distance education; education; history of education; correspondence education; Learning Objects; standardization; actor-network theory; associations; translation; dispositif; tekniksociologi; distansutbildning; utbildning; korrespondensundervisning; lärobjekt; standardisering; aktörsnätverks teori; översättning; associering; dispositif; Technology and social change; Teknik och social förändring; Sociology; Sociologi; History of technology; Teknikhistoria; Education; Pedagogik; Informatics and systems science; Informatik och systemvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation studies the social aspects of technology in distance education trough the lens of history – in the form of correspondence education – and a possible future – in the form of a project of technical standardization, Learning Objects. The studied cases form a reflexive tool that allows the present of distance education to be seen in perspective. LÄS MER

  3. 2. From Branes to Brains : On M-theory and Understanding Thermodynamics

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; M-theory; p-branes; supersymmetry; duality; heat and temperature; phenomenography; context; Physics Education Research; Fysik; Fysikens didaktik; Physics; Fysik; Materiefysik; Physics of Matter; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with research in both physics and physics education, and is divided into two parts.Part IString theory has been the leading candidate over the past few years for a theory that unifies all the fundamental forces of nature. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Bilingual students' learning in science : Language, gestures and phyiscal artefacts

    Författare :Zeynep Ünsal; Britt Jakobson; Per-Olof Wickman; Bengt-Olov Molander; Erik Knain; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; science education; bilingual students; mediating means; language; gestures; physical artefacts; learning; meaning-making; practical epistemological analysis; translanguaging; continuity; naturvetenskapsämnenas didaktik; Science Education;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis is to examine how language, gestures and physical artefacts are used in science classes with emergent bilingual students who do not share the same minority language as their classmates or teachers. The purpose is to contribute to findings that can enhance emergent bilingual students’ learning in science. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Computer Science Project Courses : Contrasting Students’ Experiences with Teachers’ Expectations

    Författare :Mattias Wiggberg; Mats Daniels; Lecia J. Barker; Tony Clear; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer science education; computer science student projects; computer science projects; computer science education research; phenomenography; learning; higher education; communities of practice; capstone projects; constructivism; Computer science; Datavetenskap; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot datavetenskapens didaktik; Computer Science with specialization in Computer Science Education Research;

    Sammanfattning : Including small or large project courses is widely recognized as important in preparing computer science students for a professional career. Typical examples are the capstone courses, which often are seen as the jewel in the crown since this is where students will bring their previous knowledge and skills together to show mastery of their craft.

  7. 5. Science, Language, and Literacy : Case Studies of Learning in Swedish University Physics

    Författare :John Airey; Cedric Linder; Roger Säljö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Learning; Higher education; Bilingualism; Language choice; Science education; Scientific literacy; Bilingual scientific literacy; Disciplinary discourse; Discourse imitation; Semiotics; Physics Education Research; Physics; Fysik; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Science Education; Engelsk språkvetenskap; Fysik; Pedagogik och Utbildningsvetenskap; Pedagogics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents an investigation of undergraduate student learning with respect to physics lectures attended in English and Swedish. The work studies three connected areas: student learning patterns, bilingual scientific literacy and disciplinary discourse. LÄS MER
