  1. 1. Complexity Theory and Physics Education Research : The Case of Student Retention in Physics and Related Degree Programmes

    Författare :Jonas Forsman; Cedric Linder; Ismo Koponen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics Education Research; Complexity Theory; Student Retention; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the use of complexity theory in Physics Education Research as a way to examine the issue of student retention (a university’s ability to retain its students). University physics education is viewed through the concepts of nestedness and networked interactions. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Learning Computing at University: Participation and Identity : A Longitudinal Study

    Författare :Anne-Kathrin Peters; Arnold Pears; Anders Berglund; Anna Eckerdal; Lars Ulriksen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computing education research; engineering education research; computer science; higher education; engagement; diversity; equity; gender; competencies; culture; longitudinal; identity; participation; power; agency; uniformity; communities of practice; social theory of learning; phenomenography; student reflections; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot datavetenskapens didaktik; Computer Science with specialization in Computer Science Education Research;

    Sammanfattning : Computing education has struggled with student engagement and diversity in the student population for a long time. Research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education suggests that taking a social, long-term perspective on learning is a fruitful approach to resolving some of these persistent challenges.

  5. 4. Computer simulations of the clinical encounter : perceptions and emotional aspects

    Författare :Olivier Courteille; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Virtual patients; medical simulation; computer mediated communication; problembased learning; affective learning; experiential learning.;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to examine the issues surrounding affective learning, perceived effectiveness, student motivation and engagement in computer simulations of patient encounters. Offering a high degree of realism, authenticity and interactivity, the Interactive Simulation of Patients (ISP) system, a Virtual Patient (VP) environment, was found to be a good technological candidate for conducting this research.

  7. 5. Do excellent engineers approach their studies strategically? : A quantitative study of students' approaches to learning in computer science education

    Författare :Maria Svedin; Olle Bälter; Stefan Hrastinski; Martha Cleveland-Innes; Johan Thorbiörnson; Arnold Pears; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Approaches to learning; computer science engineering education; Computing education research; online learning; Human-computer Interaction; Människa-datorinteraktion;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is about students’ approaches to learning (SAL) in computer science education. Since the initial development of SAL instruments and inventories in the 70’s, they have been used as a means to understand students’ approaches to learning better, as well as to measure and predict academic achievement (such as retention, grades and credits taken) and other correlating factors.
