El presente estudio tiene como objetivo principal relacionar el autoconcepto personal y la regulación emocional en role-players adultos peruanos. Se aplicaron el Cuestionario de Autoconcepto Personal (Goñi, 2011) y el Cuestionario de Regulación Emocional ERQ (Gross y Jhon, 2003) a un grupo de 310 participantes peruanos, entre los 18 y 35 años de edad, y con el 88% de sexo femenino. Se encontró que las dimensiones del Autoconcepto Personal correlacionan positivamente con el factor Reevaluación Cognitiva de Regulación emocional. Así también, todos los factores de Autoconcepto Personal correlacionan negativamente con Supresión Emocional. Asimismo, los role-players con un personaje idol-kpop tienen mayores puntuaciones en las dimensiones de autonomía y honradez, a comparación de los role-players furry, debido a la retroalimentación recibida de su entorno. / The main objective of this study is to relate personal self-concept and emotional regulation in Peruvian adult role-players. The Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (Goñi, 2011) and the ERQ Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (Gross y Jhon, 2003) were applied to a group of 310 Peruvian participants, between 18 and 35 years of age, and with 88% of sex female. It was found that the Personal Self-concept variables have a positive correlation with cognitive reappraisal, this being the most used regulation tool. Furthermore, there is a negative relationship with the dimension of emotional suppression. Likewise, role-players with an idol-kpop character have higher scores in personal self-concept, especially in autonomy and honesty, compared to furry role-players. / Tesis

This diploma thesis focuses on the issue of human game, from several points of view, namely philosophical, pedagogical and didactic. The work is structured into three parts. The theoretical part deals with the philosophical considerations concerning the game phenomenon, where the game is based mainly on the ontological principle and the game theory, which is analyzed by selected authors. The second part then deals with the game used in the pedagogical processes, or the game as a teaching method in the field of social science and its importance in teaching at primary and secondary schools. The practical part is focused on simulation games implementation within the social science - education.

I denna studie undersöks hur narrativ och äventyr kan användas som en konstpedagogisk metod. Syftet med ett studien är att hitta metoder för att tillgängliggöra, engagera och skapa intresse för konstupplevelser till barnfamiljer. I barnkonventionen, som blev lag år 2020, står det att alla barn skall ha rätt till att ”till fullo delta i det kulturella och konstnärliga livet”. Därför är det viktigt att utveckla metoder som syftar till att nå målgruppen genom engagemang och intresse. På historiska museer används ofta äventyr och narrativ som ett pedagogiskt grepp, vilket har visat sig blivit populärt för målgruppen. Men skulle detta arbetssätt kunna användas i konstsammanhang också? Undersökningen genomförs genom semistrukturerade intervjuer av konstpedagoger och museipedagoger, samt genom utvecklandet av ett konstpedagogiskt material utformat som ett narrativ. Materialet prövas tillsammans med en barnfamilj som efteråt uttryckt hur deras upplevelse varit. Resultatet visar på att narrativet kan skapa engagemang och lust för att lära samt att det kan öppna upp för barns fortsatta fantasiskapande.

Taming is an experiment and a written assignment about the development of ProjectMorpheo, which was my degree project at Stockholm University of the Arts. ProjectMorpheo is a participatory experience designed to explore the fragile connections between the content of our dreams and the physical materials that surround us. To give a chance for contemplation the project uses meditation and an experimental form of a contemporary puppetry technique: material animation. Taming Amorphalia is a fictional documentation of the intrapersonal happenings, the experiments and experiences that influenced me during the development of ProjectMorpheo. The aim is to introduce the intuitive process behind the project through the form of a text based RPG.

Mitt examensarbete handlar om hur grundskoleelever ser på sitt lärande och sin motivation i ett musikalprojekt. Syftet är att beskriva detta, sätta det i samband med skolans värdegrund och få en förståelse för relationen mellan lärandet och motivationen. Undersökningen grundar sig på kvalitativa intervjuer med tio elever från två olika skolklasser i skolår åtta. Metoden har även stöd av observationer. Intervjusvaren är strukturerade efter teman. Eleverna i projektet utvecklar kunskap som med rollspel gestaltas i egna tolkningar för publik. Undervisningsformen är omtyckt av eleverna då det finns plats för socialt umgänge. De tränar sig i samarbete, problemlösning, organisation och improvisation. Språkträning i ett undersökande av sin egen identitet ingår också. De lär sig även att se samband i projektet. De utvecklar ett självständigt tänkande, eget inflytande och ansvar och tränas i ett praktiserande av demokratiska principer. De blir motiverade av de friare arbetsformerna med improvisation under eget ansvar, samarbete med problembaserade uppgifter, det sociala värdet av att umgås och presentation av projektet inför publik. De utvecklar ett lärande utifrån egna erfarenheter, de blir duktigare att improvisera fram lösningar ju mer erfarenhet de får. Lärandet och motivationen går in i en symbios, ju längre tid som går. Eleverna blir motiverade av att de efterhand inser de att allihop är beroende av varandra. Detta skapar en kollektiv lojalitet som i sin tur underlättar lärandet. / My thesis concerns how pupils in comprehensive school look upon their own learning and motivation during a musical project. The purpose is to describe this, connect it with the schools values and get an understanding of the connection between learning and motivation. This research is based on qualitative interviews with ten eight graders from two different classes and this method is also backed up by observations. The answers from the interviews are then structured after certain themes. The pupils in the project develop their knowledge by being asked to make their own interpretations that are subsequently illustrated in role plays in front of an audience. This way of teaching is appreciated by the pupils as it also gives room for social intercourse. They train their cooperative abilities as well as problem solving, organizing and improvising abilities. Language training while examining their own identity also enters into this project and they learn to become aware of different connections. They develop independent thinking, to have influence and be responsible while they train practicing democratic principles and they get motivated by the more liberal forms for working with improvisations on their own responsibility, cooperating with problem based tasks, the social value of working together and the presentation of the project in front of and audience. Their learning develops out of their own experiences and they become more skilled in improvising solutions the more experience they get. Learning and motivation enter into a symbiosis the more time that passes and the pupils become motivated while gradually realizing that they are all dependent on one another. This creates a collective sense of loyalty which in turn facilitates the learning process.

Syftet med studien är att bidra med kunskap om hur barn positionerar varandra irollek och hur det skapar makt och motstånd. Syftet är även att bidra med kunskapom hur barns positioner skapar möjligheter och begränsningar i rollek. Studien tarinspiration ur Sheridan, Williams och Pramling Samuelssons (2014) artikel där detframkommer att barn i förskolan endast har strukturerade grupperingar 0.5–2 timmarom dagen. Det resulterar i många timmar om dagen i förskolan där barn självakonstruera sina grupper, även så kallad fri lek. Fri lek är en viktig del i förskolan ochskapar såväl möjligheter för barns utveckling likväl som det skapar begränsningarför barns utveckling. Skolverket (2022) lyfter att nästan 86% av Sveriges barn går iförskola där utbildningen utgår från Läroplanen för förskolan, Lpfö 18 (Skolverket2018) där ett mål om att alla barn ska få lika stort inflytande i utbildningen finnsskrivet. Studien har genomförts med ett baklängesarbete med kvalitativ ansatsgenom deltagande observationer som metod. Baklängesarbete innebar att syfte ochfrågeställningar omformulerades efter att resultatet var fastställt (Klingberg &Hallberg 2021). Deltagande observationer innebar att vi var delaktiga i barnens lekoch samtidigt förde fältanteckningar. Resultatet i studien analyseras utifrån KlaraDolks tolkning av Michel Foucaults teori med tre teoretiska begrepp. Studiensinsamlade empiri visade på att barn positionerar varandra i fyra olika positioner ideras rollek. Resultatet visade även på hur makt och motstånd konstitueras i barnsrollek och hur barns positioner skapar möjligheter men även begränsningar för barnsinflytande i rollek genom makt, motstånd och normer (Dolk 2013). Slutsatsen blevatt barns positioner har olika möjligheter till inflytande i rollekar som baseras påmaktstrukturer som ofta är synliga för barn, men osynliga för pedagoger. Dettaskapar både möjligheter och begränsningar för barn som pedagoger i förskolanmåste vara uppmärksamma på.

Most hospitality institutions have increasingly moved classes online but are concerned about migrating classes and instructional content online. The concern is most Web-based models are designed to deliver the acquisition of knowledge but lack the ability to transform that knowledge into applied career skills for practical use in the industry. The purpose of this study was to test a new Web-based instructional model. The model supported delivering both the acquisition and application of knowledge. Educators, researchers, and practitioners can utilize the new model to enhance the application of career skills and enhance organizational objectives by providing just-in-time training. The new Web-based instructional model can be delivered through multiple platforms including computers, electronic devices, wireless devices and mobile devices. The application of knowledge was delivered through experiential role-play exercises delivered live to the comparison group and virtual, inside Second Life, to the treatment group. An Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) revealed a significant difference between groups with higher application scores for the students who received the role-play live compared to virtual. In addition, an analysis was conducted to explore factors to consider when examining the cost effectiveness of Web-based instructional content. Factors determined to be important were developmental costs, delivery costs, and reusability of the Web-based instruction.

Spanning over 2 000 years, teaching languages through drama is nothing new. Despite promising international research on the topic of teaching English as a second language (ESL) through drama, few to no studies have been conducted to assess its pedagogical value in the Swedish elementary school context. The national curriculum in Sweden promotes playful learning, with drama being included as a viable teaching activity for English in grades 4-6. Through five semi-structured interviews, this study explores how teachers in Sweden employ drama and role-play-based methods, but also how they perceive these method’s impact on students’ language skills. A thematic analysis of the teacher interviews suggests that drama and role-play can have positive effects, both in terms of academic skills development and in terms of affective factors related to the English subject. However, the teachers express concern that drama can give rise to unwanted behavior and bullying, which underlines the importance of a safe and supportive classroom environment before implementing drama-based tasks. Overall, the results seem to be in line with previous research on the topic and may thus be of relevance to the Swedish educational context. This study’s main limitation is its sole reliance on teachers who have a positive attitude towards drama and role-play. Therefore, further research could involve teachers who have used drama-based methods but found dissatisfying outcomes.

The objective of the research was to investigate an improvement in job performance when role-play is used as a training and assessment tool in a sales call centre environment. The research was conducted by means of a competence assessment used at different stages (Quality Assurance Performance Management Questionnaire). The final stage was two weeks after the learners who had qualified to be sales agents had entered a real working environment. At this final stage, calls were retrieved and rated against the Quality Assurance Performance Management Questionnaire (QAPMQ). A sample of 40 novice sales agents (learners) were selected and randomly divided into the control and experimental groups. The research findings indicated that if planned well, role-play can be an effective training and assessment tool. / Industrial & Organisational Psychology / M.Comm.

The thesis adresses the play in role during spontaneous activities children of preschool age in the theoretical and practical dimension. In my mind I have play and activities, where children are not organized or managed and have possibility to freely decided what to do. The introduction of theoretical part of thesis focuses on the importace and meaning of play in human life with insight into the history of games and lists some of its theories. The work is based on theory pf Jean Piaget, who conect the child's play with its intellectual evolution. The second chapter deals with the specific personality of the child of preschool age from the perspective of developmental psychology and development of society focusing on current needs of child to play. The next part of the thesis is related to basic characteristics of current- day nursery schools with respect pre - revolutionary period. The fourth chapter focuses on the meaning of spontaneous activities in nursery school. It identifies the role of adult in these activities, the influence of individual and social differenties of children on play and how influence heterogeneity and homogeneity of this group. The theoretical part concludes with a chapter about the game in the role and its significance for pre-school child. The practical part of the thesis...
