By using innovative methods, such as the automated transfer of corporate electronic data to National Statistical Institutions, official transport data can be significantly improved in terms of reliability, costs and the burden on respondents. In this paper, we show that the automated compilation of statistical reports is possible and feasible. Based on previous findings, a new method and tool were developed in cooperation with two business partners from the logistics sector in Austria. The results show that the prototype could successfully be implemented at the partner companies. Improved data quality can lead to more reliable analyses in various fields. Compared to actual volumes of investments into transport, the costs of transport statistics are limited. By using the new and innovative data collection techniques, these costs can even be reduced in the long run; at the same time, the risk of bad investments and wrong decisions caused by analyses relying on poor data quality can be reduced. This results in a substantial value for business, research, the economy and the society.

The theoretical part of the diploma thesis summarizes the conception of the theory of Word species from several professional manuals of Czech grammar. It also deals with Language and language communication in the Framework education programme of basic education. This part also getting the terms like teaching methods, traditional teaching methods and innovative teaching methods. In practical part there are already processed innovative methods of teaching selected word species at the first stage of elementary school and their practical verification. It also describes the depiction of curriculum word species in selected Czech language textbooks for the first stage of the elementary school, which are also evaluated here.

The aim of the thesis is to compare the efficiency of innovative and traditional teaching methods. In the theoretical part the particular traditional and innovative methods and procedures are described which can be applied in the educational process. In the practical part the goal was to find out which teaching methods are used by the primary school teachers and which of them are most effective. Further, to compare the efficiency of teaching applying innovatice and traditional methods in natural history lessons in grade four. A questionnare was used to establish the most effective and mostly used teaching methods. It follows from the results that teachers most often use the methods of explanation, texts, pictures, educational games, group and co-operative forms of work and discussion. Most teachers respond that for pupils´ learning the innovative methods are more effective. An experiment was carried out during which both traditional methods (narration, explanation, work with a text) and innovative methods (group work and brainstorming) were applied. The results showed that for pupils´ learning the traditional methods were more effective. This result was caused by the fact that the innovative methods were more time-consuming.

The aim of the diploma thesis Recommended reading at elementary school is to map the current state of suggested readings and work with it in elementary schools in the Czech Republic. The thesis is divided into theoretical part where are elaborated and characterized the basic concepts related to this issue. It is thus focused on the definition of reader, reading literacy, reading and further on is defined the recommended and primer reading. Furthermore, this section offers the methods used to develop literacy skills in Czech language lessons and literature. In the practical parts is intimated the basic research, which was carried out on this subject through a series of interviews with 26 teachers coming from different schools. The research aims to find out the current status of recommended reading at the middle school level, whether it is used by teachers, eventually how they continue to operate with it and use this knowledge for their own teaching practice.

My master's thesis with a title Possible Applications of Innovative Methods for Reading Literacy Development in Elementary School is aimed at the critical thinking methods. These methods lead pupils in elementary school to a development of reading literacy. The theoretical part of my work provides an overview of the curriculum reform and the following changes in learning. The terms teacher, innovation, pedagogical constructivism and reading literacy are explained. The key competences of primary education are described, because their development and fulfilment are important goals of education. Furthermore, the educational programme Reading & Writing for Critical Thinking and the three-phase model of learning with its phases learning, awareness and evocation with emphasis on methods supporting a reading literacy of pupils are narrated. The methods of critical thinking supporting reading literacy of pupils are examined in the practical part of my work. The action research with help of an observation method is used in order to evaluate the impact of the critical thinking methods on the development of key competences and level of reading literacy of pupils. The research was conducted at the elementary school, where no innovative methods of critical thinking are used. Key words: teacher, constructivism,...

Idag, inte bara i Sverige, bygger man mer och mer i betong. Betongkonstruktioner ses inte längre som något kallt, grått och tråkigt då man kan uppföra byggnadsverk som inte bara är starka och tåliga utan även med originella former och färger. För att få betongen stark, inte bara i tryck måste så gott som alla konstruktioner dock armeras på ett eller annat sätt. Dessa nya och ofta komplicerade former på konstruktionen ställer nya krav på armeringsmetoden som används, trots detta har sättet att armera i stort sätt sett likadant ut i många, många år. I den här rapporten kommer man att utreda möjligheterna för en ny typ av armering att etablera sig på en mycket konservativ marknad där utrymmet för utveckling och nytänkande är till synes mycket litet. Jämförelser mellan traditionell armering och denna nya cellarmering har gjorts, framförallt med avseende på projekterings- och utförandenivå. Detta har gjorts genom intervjuer med sakkunniga, både ute på byggarbetsplatsen och i armeringsverkstad. Ett nära samarbete med företaget CELLFAB som tagit fram cellarmeringen har bidragit med goda förutsättningar för kontakt med stora aktörer inom branschen. En introducering av cellarmering med dess unika egenskaper skulle innebära mindre materialåtgång vid armeringsarbeten, snabbare montering samt minskad skaderisk för arbetarna. / Today, not only in Sweden, concrete is becoming more and more common in construction. Concrete is no longer seen as something cold, gray and boring. You can construct buildings that are not only strong and durable but also with original shapes and colors. To obtain strong concrete, not only in compression, almost all the constructs need to be reinforced in one way or another. These new and often complex forms of construction places new demands on the reinforcement method used, never the less, the way to reinforce has looked the same for many, many years. This report will explore the potentials for a new type of reinforcement to establish on a very conservative market where the possibilities for development and innovation are seemingly very small. Comparisons between traditional reinforcement and this new cell reinforcement have been made, particularly with regard to the planning and execution level. This was done through interviews with experts, both at the construction site and the reinforcement workshop. A close collaboration with the company CELLFAB that developed cell reinforcement has provided good opportunities for contact with the major players in the industry. The introduction of cell reinforcement with its unique features would mean less reinforcement material, faster installation and reduced risk of injury to workers on site.

Syftet med studien är att ta reda på hur tre olika innovativa tekniker kan användas för att samla in användarinsikter i en tjänstedesignprocess. Detta genomförs med ett designcase som handlar om besökarnas upplevelse av Norrköpings Symfoniorkesters konserter. Symfoniorkestern behöver hjälp med att locka fler besökare till konserterna och nya sätt behöver användas för att samla in användarinsikter för att få så många olika perspektiv som möjligt av konsertupplevelsen. Det var 20 personer som deltog i studien med en blandning av personer, dels de som idag går på Norrköpings Symfoniorkesters konserter och dels de som inte besöker dem. Deltagarnas uppgift i studien var att gå på två av deras konserter och dokumentera sina upplevelser med hjälp av tre olika innovativa tekniker: designsond, app och automatisk kamera. Resultatet av studien visar att den första tekniken designsonden gav en fördjupad bild av deltagarnas syn på konsertupplevelsen och hjälpte till att bredda fokus i tjänstedesignprocessen. Den andra tekniken,appen, kunde ge en mer detaljerad information i realtid om deltagarnas konsertupplevelse på plats. Den tredje tekniken, automatisk kamera, kunde ge ett detaljerat flöde automatiskt på plats över deltagarnas konsertupplevelse som visade mönster och beteenden som kunde kopplas till konsertupplevelsen. Studien visar på att de tre teknikerna gör att användaren hamnar i fokus under hela tjänstedesignprocessen, vilket är grunden för att kunna arbeta användarcenterat. Tillsammans blir teknikerna ännu mer kraftfulla att använda då de kan komplettera varandra i en tjänstedesignprocess. / The goal of the study is to find out how three different innovative techniques can be used to collect user experience in a service design process. This is carried out using a design case regarding the user experience of the Norrkoping’s Symphony Orchestras (SON) concerts. This is a symphony orchestra that has experienced increasing difficulty in attracting more visitors, and new methods are needed to tackle the problem. Therefore, in this study mobile ethnography and innovative methods will be used. There were 20 participants in the study, including a mix of people who regularly attend SON-concerts and those who do not. The participant’s task in this study was to attend two of SON-concerts and document their experience using three different innovative techniques: Probe, smartphone application and automatic camera. The result of the study shows that the probe gave a much more detailed look into the participants’ view of the concert experience, and contributed in widening the focus of the service design process. The application gave a more detailed information in real-time, on sight. The automatic camera gave a more detailed flow, automatically on sight, of the concert experience. That may show certain patterns and behaviors of the participants linked to the concert experience. The study shows that the three innovative techniques puts focus on the user throughout the entire service design process, which is the foundation for working user-centered. If the techniques are used in combination they become more effective as they complete each other in a service design process.
