Undersökningen handlar om en kommuns arbete med implementering av surfplattor i förskoleverksamheten samt pedagogernas upplevelse av den nya tekniken i förskolan. I studien belyses pedagogernas syn på surfplattan som ett pedagogiskt verktyg. I undersökningen användes kvalitativa intervjuer som metod. Valet föll sig naturligt då det är en primär metod för att få fram den information man söker. I resultatet visar det sig att kommunen inte hade någon plan på hur arbetet med surfplattor i förskolan skulle se ut. Det visar sig även att pedagogerna saknar en arbetsplan och kompetens för att använda surfplattan som ett pedagogiskt verktyg. Pedagogerna lyfter tidsbrist som en bidragande faktor till att arbetet inte utvecklas som de önskar. Slutsatserna blir att surfplattan som införskaffades för två år sedan ännu inte har blivit implementerad i den dagliga verksamheten. Enligt min undersökning saknas det både kontinuitet och arbetsplan i arbetet med surfplattan. / The study is an investigating of a municipality’s work with implementations of tablet computer in preschool, and the pedagogues’ experience of the new technique. In the study the pedagogues’ experiences of the tablet computers are illuminated. Quantitative interviews were used to receive the required information, since it is a principal method applicable for this study. The result shows that the municipality did not have any plans for how the work with the tablet computers in preschool was going to proceed. It is also obvious that the pedagogues don’t have the competence nor the work plan to use the tablet computer as a pedagogical tool. The pedagogues are mentioning lack of time as a contributory factor in the matter. The conclusion is that the tablet computer, obtained two years ago, has not been implemented in the daily work. There is a lack in both continuity and work plan when it comes to the tablet computer according to my study.

The aim of this study was to examine pre-school teachers' experiences of how and for what purpose children at preschool Ljusstaden in Kalmar, use the tablet. The study also examined the teachers' views on the tool in that context. From a media and communication research perspective, the purpose with this study was to increase greater knowledge and understanding of children's use of the tablet in preschool in Kalmar. I chose to performe a qualitative study by conducting semistructured interviews with seven pre-school teachers at the preschool, Ljusstaden in Kalmar. The results of this study showed that it was common for the children to use the tablet in the preschool to take pictures and film and watch it afterwards and that the usage-time varied. I found that the teachers felt that the primary purpose was to follow the digital development and prepare the children for the future. I also discovered that the teachers wanted the children to continue using the tablet in the preschool Ljusstaden. In the future, the teachers wanted more education about how children can use the tablet in the best possible way.

Parte desta dificuldade surge da necessidade de se visualizar algo que é tridimensional em apenas duas dimensões. Para contribuir com a diminuição de tais dificuldades foi elaborado neste trabalho um curso de Educação a Distância (EaD) assíncrono, destinado a estudantes de graduação e pós-graduação, especificamente sobre a determinação dos índices cristalográficos de Miller, onde recursos de visualização tridimensional interativa foram empregados. Apenas o sistema cúbico foi contemplado nesta versão do curso. As representações tridimensionais foram criadas com o programa Wolfram Mathematica 10.1. O curso foi desenvolvido em um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem gratuito (MOODLE 2.6.4) e hospedado em um servidor específico para este fim (MCO2). Os roteiros para determinar pontos, direções e planos cristalográficos foram elaborados com o auxílio do programa Adobe Macromedia Flash 8.0. Algumas ilustrações foram criadas com o programa Solid Works. O curso contempla a interatividade através de exercícios e do chat entre os participantes. Para que haja aprimoramento contínuo, há no final um questionário destinado aos estudantes, sobre a estrutura do curso e a compreensão dos conceitos teóricos disponibilizados. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Sua criação foi justificada inicialmente pela percepção, colhida junto a atores sociais, de deficiências nas ferramentas de ensino-aprendizagem relacionadas ao estudo de estruturas cristalinas de materiais. Posteriormente, um levantamento do estado da arte dos softwares cristalográficos existentes revelou oportunidades para o desenvolvimento de um novo software com preocupação eminentemente didática. Na especificação e elaboração do CW, foram preconizados os princípios do software livre, da acessibilidade e da democratização do conhecimento. Adotou-se o estado da arte de tecnologias e serviços para desenvolvimento de aplicações web interativas, tais como plataforma HTML5/WebGL, arquiteturas orientadas a serviços (SOA) e sistemas distribuídos responsivos, resilientes e elásticos. Para facilitar o entendimento e a síntese de estruturas cristalinas, foi proposto um inédito processo passo a passo baseado no conceito \"rede + motivo = estrutura cristalina\", que exige a participação ativa e consciente do usuário. Inseriu-se também uma ferramenta denominada \"narrativa didática\", por meio por meio da qual o usuário registra sequências de visualização acompanhadas de anotações e que podem ser compartilhadas múltiplas narrativas permitem atender a diferentes perfis de aprendizagem. Também foram incorporadas com sucesso funcionalidades didáticas eficazes para garantir plena acessibilidade aos recursos do CW e para aumentar seu alcance social, tais como o suporte à interação avançada e às tecnologias de interface de realidade virtual, o suporte à impressão 3D e a oferta de uma plataforma de publicação online. Na avaliação dos produtos gerados, o principal critério foi o atendimento às demandas dos atores sociais, que foram empoderados ao final do processo. O CW é a primeira plataforma a superar a maioria dos problemas apontados e das limitações encontradas nos instrumentos didáticos existentes sobre a temática deste trabalho, impactando positivamente o acesso e a democratização do conhecimento, por meio da construção coletiva, do estímulo à colaboração e da autonomia e independência tecnológicas. / Tese (Doutorado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/T / Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

Bengtsson, J. Kommunikation mellan personal och brukare i dagliga verksamheter - En kvalitativ studie. Examensarbete i handikapp ochrehabiliteringsvetenskap 15 högskolepoäng. Malmö universitet: Fakulteten förhälsa och samhälle, 2018. Syftet med denna studie har varit att studera i kommunikation mellan personal och brukare i dagliga verksamheter. Hur främjas kommunikationen och vilka pedagogiska verktyg används i främjandet. Det har genomförts med semistrukturerade intervjuer av personal från olika dagliga verksamheter. Teoretiska utgångpunkter som nyttjades för att analysera materialet var social interaktionism med större vikt på social interaktion, Goffmans dramaturgiska perspektiv och sociala band. Analysen och resultatet belyser mestadels bristande kunskap inom kommunikation. Personal uttrycker att de själva är de främsta verktygen i främjandet av kommunikation. Kommunikation är till största del kroppsspråk, mimik och relationskompetens. Vidare forskning med pedagogiska verktyg belyses när det inkluderar vuxna individer med en funktionsnedsättning kombinerad med en hörselnedsättning som har en LSS tillhörighet. / Bengtsson, J. Communication between staff and users in day centers - A qualitative study. Degree of Bachelor of Science with a Major in Disability and Rehabilitation Science 15 Credits. Malmö University: Faculty of Health and Society, Department of social work, 2018. The purpose of this study has been to study communication between staff and users in day centers. How communication is promoted and what pedagogical tools are used in the promotion. It has been conducted with semi-structured interviews of staff from various day centers. Theoretical starting points used to analyze the material were social interactionism with a strong emphasis on social interaction, Goffman's dramaturgical perspective and social ties. The analysis and the results mostly highlight a lack of knowledge in communication. Staff express that they themselves are the main tools in the promotion of communication. Communication is mostly body language, facial expressions and relationship skills. Further research with pedagogical tools is highlighted when it includes adult individuals with a disability combined with a hearing impairment who have an LSS affiliation.

This study examines if theatre is a relevant tool for helping language students in the learning of the French language in Sweden. The theatre is considered and used as a dramatic and creative play for educational purposes, not for representational purposes. The aim of the study is to get an understanding of how theatre can be used in class by beginner students for learning French as a foreign language and comply with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the Swedish educational plan of the National Directorate of Schools (Skolverket) : What learning skills and activities in a French class can theatre teaching correlate with? What learning possibilities and positive effects are noteworthy? The theoretical analysis is based mainly on C. Puren, A. Kazeroni, E.M. Rollinat-Levasseur, J.P. Cuq, I. Gruca and L. Vygotski. A small case study was carried out in situ which allow to report an experiment with Swedish-speaking beginners in French as a foreign language. The study is therefore deployed in theory and in practise to discuss the possibilities of learning the French language by the means of theatre on the target audience. The present results highlight positive effects on students. Learning by theatre is integrated into a theoretical and practical didactic perspective and makes it possible to develop the objectives of the different skills of the learner. Hence, the study identified that learning French as a foreign language through theatre for beginner learners in Sweden is relevant because it fits easily into the development of an educational project or a learning task from an action perspective and responds to the goals defined by the CEFR and the Swedish educational plan.

The scientist-practitioner model underscores the importance of effectively translating research into practice. However, family science research can be difficult for professionals and lay people alike to understand due to the use of scientific jargon. To narrow the gap between research publication and practice, the Military REACH team produced an eight-step process to create a dictionary of terms relevant to research and the military. This dictionary aids Military REACH’s target audiences (i.e., military families, helping professionals, and military leadership and policy makers) in comprehending complex terminology and, therefore, facilitates the understanding and implementation of research. To date, over 220 terms have been included in this online dictionary. Application of the eight-step method will also be discussed to facilitate the adaptation for other online dictionaries.

The Swedish government decided in 2017 that Sweden should be the best country in theworld to use the benefits of digitalization, and concluded that education plays a hugerole in reaching their vision. From autumn semester 2022 text-based programming willbe a mandatory part (in mathematics, grade 7-9) in Sweden. Previous research showsthat many teachers feel uncomfortable teaching programming and that text-basedprogramming has a steep learning curve. This leads us to check if there are gaps to fillin the software provided for educational purposes available today. To get an overview ofthe current situation a survey using questionnaires was conducted. To what extent hadthe teachers used the tools and resources recommended by the Swedish NationalAgency for Education, to develop their skills within text-based programming? How didthe view differ for teachers on using complements to the tools and resources providedby the Swedish National Agency for education today, based on their characteristics?Very few teachers had used the available material and tools, or had the time needed todevelop their skills to feel comfortable teaching text-based programming. Most of theteachers within the survey would find complements to the material provided by theSwedish National Agency for Education useful.
