The purpose of this study is to find out why so many immigrants live in Rosengård, Malmö. We are even curious to find out how they experience living within these precincts in the wake of controversial media cover of the area. Our study was prompted by the results of other researchers who have made studies in that particular area. Some arrived at the conclusion that it was due to racism, others claim it was based on stigma, but we want to argue from a different perspective which is the concept of individualistic and collectivistic society/culture. Our result of the study is in general that many choose to settle there of their own volition, but there are even other factors such as economy and space. All informants like living in Rosengård, but two out of five have a different opinion about their future at the place.

Syfte - Syftet med studien är att presentera exempel på vad integration kan innebära förmänniskor som har olika perspektiv (stadsdelsförvaltare, projektledare och målgruppen) påintegrationsåtgärder i betydelsen att det antingen arbetar med integrationsåtgärder eller utgörmålgrupp för åtgärderna. Målet med uppsatsen är att belysa problemet kring begreppetintegration i utvalda stadsdelar (Rosengård, Fosie och Södra Innerstaden) med utgångspunkt iarbete och utbildning.Metod - I vår C-uppsats har vi valt en forskningsstrategi med kvalitativ och induktivinriktning bestående av fallstudier som forskningsdesign. Med kvalitativ och induktivinriktning menar vi att vi har lagt stor fokus på ord vid insamling av data och analys, samt attvi har genererat teorier utifrån vårt forskningsresultat. Våra data har gått ut på både öppna ochsemistrukturerade intervjuer baserad på en intervjuguide.Resultat - Studiens resultat visar att integration tolkas olika beroende på var man befinner sig ioch vilken position man har i samhället. I vår undersökning bland våra respondenter somjobbade som stadsförvaltare respektive projektledare, tolkades begreppet integration på ettlikvärdigt sätt. Men bland våra respondenter som respresenterade målgruppen, kunde vikonstatera att de hade en mer diffus bild kring integration. Vidare har vi även kunnatkonstatera att det saknas pågående forskning kring ämnet integration med inriktning på arbeteoch utbildning i de utvalda stadsdelarna. Den här uppsatsen skulle kunna bidra till vidare forskning kring begreppet och innebörden av segregation som motpol till begreppetintegration.

Students in any educational setting need to learn how to integrate and successfully use technology to be successful in a future career. While no one educational system can teach every skill, faculty can help integrate technology and model skills that students will need later in life. Using Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations as a model, the researcher examined technology integration and how it affected engagement, motivation, and learning in the classroom setting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenomenon of technology integration in an agriculture associate's degree program and evaluate the program from the faculty and student perspective. Ninety-six students enrolled in an agriculture associate's degree program served as the case study group. A qualitative approach guided the inquiry of the study and was represented through observations, participant interviews, and video collection using Noldus Observer. Findings indicated that technology integration was being implemented in a purposeful way and the faculty work together to make decisions regarding what to integrate for the students' use in their courses. Technology integration decisions were supported by the faculty and program leader. Students viewed the technology as beneficial to their learning while enrolled in the program and as an asset when they graduated. Students reported that they felt as though technology was helping them remain engaged and motivated in the program. Students who participated in the recommend that the faculty use the course management system more efficiently to streamline content to students and the faculty use more features that the system offers such as chat and discussion boards. Students expressed a belief that these practices would help keep students more engaged during class time and help them locate resources more efficiently. It is recommended that faculty work to offer a blended learning experience in the classroom, with group work or guided practice. Finally, as an alternative to traditional assessment, it is recommended that faculty members in the program encourage students to work with technology outside of class to create videos or podcasts to illustrate what they are learning. / Ph.

This study investigates the extent to which teachers adopted a computer technology innovation and the role of collaboration in the adoption process. Semi-structured interviews with seven teachers and one Computer Resource Teacher, supplemented by observations and documentation regarding the innovation, provide data for an in-depth, ethnographic case study. Six months were spent in the setting recording the teachers' interactions and processes centered on adopting the innovation. Results show collaboration efforts among teams and the level of uncertainty regarding the innovation influenced the amount of time and the degree to which each team adopted the innovation. Two other factors influenced the adoption rate of the innovation: the interaction that the teachers had with a change agent, which helped to decrease the level of uncertainty about the innovation with two of the teams and thus, increased their adoption rate, and the innovativeness of individuals, which had a direct connection to the rate of adoption and which influenced other members of the grade level and their rate of adoption. Each participant's level of innovativeness, their compatibility and comfort with the innovation, and their efforts to collaborate were significantly related to successful implementation of the computer technology innovation. / Ph.
