Beträffande bilder : En kvantitativ studie av bildmaterialet i läroböcker för Historia 1b

Möll, Theodor, Arnberg, Joakim January 2021 (has links)
With multimodal methods and material gaining traction in classrooms, the need to critically assess these becomes increasingly important, especially in order to verify their efficacy and ability to meet the needs of each individual student, regardless of ability or special requirements. In the case of this study, the focus is on textbooks produced for the course Historia 1b at the upper secondary level of the Swedish education system. By analyzing the readability, layout, and functions of illustrations in three textbooks, as well as the gender representation in the material, the aim of this study is to generate a quantifiable dataset, on which conclusions regarding the efficacy of said illustrations can be made. Additionally, the results of this study are compared to those of previous studies, to ascertain whether there is a quantifiable difference in the use of illustrations in textbooks published for use in different curricula.  The results of this study indicate that there is a marginal improvement in the use of illustrations between textbooks produced for the current and the previous curriculum. Additionally, the data suggests that the representation of women in illustrations in textbooks has increased in comparison to previous studies. However, the findings indicate that there is still a need for further improvements regarding the use of illustrations in textbooks, as well as more thorough evaluations of the possibility of diminishing returns in the case of their readability.

Västerlänningarna och "de Andra" : En undersökning av hur islam och muslimer framställs i läromedel mellan åren 1968-2018 / The Westerners and "the Others" : A study of how islam and muslims are represented in textbooks between the years 1968-2018

Andersson, Cornelia January 2020 (has links)
The aim of this study is to examine the portrayal of Islam and Muslims in Swedish textbooks published between 1968 and 2018, and whether there has been a development in the portrayal. The material that has been analyzed is five textbooks aiming towards the Swedish secondary school. The chosen method and theory for this paper is critical discourse analysis, within this theory, the three-dimension model by Fairclough was chosen to analyze the results. The result showed various representations, the ones that stood out were Islam and Muslims as “the Other” in correlation to the west, homogenous, violent and male-dominated. The development one could see were that the first three textbooks, written between 1968-1997 showed a clearer representation of Islam and Muslims as homogenous while the textbooks between 2009 and 2018 sought to represent Islam and Muslim to a greater extant by highlighting a variation within the religion.

Vad är ett matematiskt problem? : En studie om 13 gymnasieelevers uppfattningar

Matti, Rami January 2020 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga 13 gymnasieelevers uppfattningar om problemlösningsuppgifter i matematik. I studien användes individuella intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Frågorna rörde elevernas syn på matematiska problem i stort samt deras syn på om uppgifterna i deras läromedel var problem eller ej. Detta ledde till användandet av två analysmetoder, den ena för att studera vilka uppgifter i läromedlen som var problemlösning, den andra för att kartlägga och kategorisera elevernas uppfattningar. Resultaten visar att eleverna hade vissa uppfattningar som överensstämmer med hur forskningslitteraturen definierar problemlösningsuppgifter, men det framkom även uppfattningar som inte tas upp av litteraturen. Studien visar därmed på vilka som kan vara elevernas missuppfattningar kring problemlösningsuppgifter. Detta kan vara till nytta för både lärare, elever och forskare, då denna studie har kartlagt eleverna missuppfattningar kring problemlösnings uppgifter. Där läraren kan rätta elevernas missuppfattningar kring problemlösningsuppgifter, detta innebär att eleverna får en mer korrekt uppfattning kring problemlösningsuppgifter som är mer nära forskning.

Hållbar utveckling i svenska läroböcker för gymnasiekemi : En litteraturstudie av läromedel för gymnasiekurserna Kemi 1 och Kemi 2. / Sustainable development in Swedish secondary education textbooks : A literature study of textbooks for the secondary education courses of chemistry 1 and chemistry 2.

Norlander, Hampus January 2020 (has links)
År 2011 antogs en ny läroplan i Sverige, där större fokus lades på hållbar utveckling än i tidigare läroplaner i såväl skolan som helhet, men också bland annat ämnesplanerna för Kemi 1 & 2 (Skolverket, 2018; Skolverket, 2011). I anslutning till detta publicerades nya läromedel som skulle överensstämma med den nya läroplanen. Mot bakgrund av detta ämnade denna studie att undersöka hur hållbar utveckling behandlas i svenska läromedlen för Kemi på gymnasienivå. Detta gjordes genom att analysera fem på gymnasiet förekommande läromedel, varav två var ämnade för Kemi 1 medan övriga tre var ämnade för Kemi 2. Böckerna genomsöktes efter tillfällen då kopplingar till hållbar utveckling gjordes. Dessa tillfällen kategoriserades sedan efter längd, om de kom som en del av kapiteltexten eller som extraläsning samt efter vilka och hur många av hållbar utvecklings tre dimensioner (ekologiska, sociala och ekonomiska) de behandlar. Resultatet visar att hållbar utveckling får mycket lite utrymme i läromedlen för Kemi med få och ofta korta tillfällen då hållbar utveckling behandlas. En bok skiljde sig från de övriga med två kapitel som handlade om miljö och samhällsfrågor, men följde i övrigt samma mönster som övriga böcker. Det vanligaste var att en dimension behandlades åt gången, och den vanligaste dimensionen som lyftes var den ekologiska. Mycket få tillfällen behandlade alla tre dimensionerna tillsammans, även om alla dimensionerna i någon grad belystes i alla böckerna. Att läromedlen i låg omfattning belyser hållbar utveckling kan vara en orsak till att kemilärare har svårt att implementera hållbar utveckling i undervisningen. / In 2011, a new curriculum was adopted in Sweden, where a heavier focus was placed on sustainable development than in previous curricula in both school as a whole, but also in the specific subject plans for chemistry 1 & 2 (Skolverket, 2018; Swedish National Agency for Education, 2011). In conjuntion with this, new teaching materials were published that would be in line with the new curriculum. Considering this, this study aimed to investigate how sustainable development is treated in Swedish textbooks for chemistry at upper secondary level. This was done by analyzing five high school chemistry textbooks, two of which were intended for Chemistry 1, while the other three were intended for Chemistry 2. The books were scanned for the times when links to sustainable development were made. These occasions were then categorised by length, whether they came as an integral part of the chapter text or as extra reading and by which and how many of the three dimensions of sustainable development (ecological, social and economic) they deal with. The results show that sustainable development has very little space in the teaching materials for chemistry, with few and often short examples. One book differed from the others with two dedicated chapters dealing with environmental and social issues, but otherwise followed the same pattern as the other books. The most common situation was that a single dimension was treated at a time, and the most common dimension to be dealt with was the environmental one. Very few examples dealt with all three dimensions together, although all the dimensions were to some extent highlighted in all the books. The fact that textbooks are dealing with sustainable development on a low scale can be one reason why chemistry teachers have difficulties implementing sustainable development in teaching.

Hodnocení didaktických aspektů vybraných školních učebnic / Evaluation of didactic aspects of selected school textbooks

Pelouchová, Renáta January 2010 (has links)
The thesis entitled "Evaluation of didactic aspects of selected school textbooks" focuses on analysis, evaluation, comparison of didactic completeness, and text difficulty of selected biology textbooks. Beside of analyses of these evaluation criteria, the compliance of textbooks with Framework Educational Programme was proved. Furthermore, a survey among biology teachers was conducted to monitor the range of used textbooks on elementary schools and using of innovative technologies, such as electronic textbooks, in the educational process.

Slovotvorný proces tronkace a jeho prezentace a uchopení v učebnicích francouzštiny na úrovni B1 / Word forming process of clipping and its presentation and comprehension in French textbooks at B1 level

Niedermaierová, Tereza January 2020 (has links)
Word forming process of clipping and its presentation and comprehension in French textbooks at B1 level This diploma thesis focuses on the word formation process of clipping and its presentation and seizing in French textbooks at the B1 level. The theoretical part of the work aims to describe the clipping in the context of other word forming processes and to provide basic information about this process based on the study of professional publications. This part of the work defines clipping and presents the basic typology (apocope and apheresis). Based on specific examples, the thesis describes the morphological and phonetic attributes of clipping, and also mentions specific forms of words associated with this process, such as lexical amalgams. In addition, the theoretical part mentions the words classes usually affected by clipping, the question of grammatical categories or the concept of clipping in the Czech language. The aim of the practical part is to analyse the occurence of the process of clipping in teaching at high schools, using three contemporary French textbooks at the B1 level according to CEFR. The presence or absence of the clipping process in the teaching is also analysed via questionnaire research in selected years of high school. The thesis is based on the assumption that the...

''Gå i skola och få ett jobb eller bli munk för livet?'' : En komparativ undersökning om hur människors levda religion representeras i läroböcker / ''Attend school and get a job or become a monk for life?'' : A comparative study of how peoples’ lived religion is represented in textbooks

Sidhammar, William January 2022 (has links)
The main purpose of this study is to illustrate to what extent lived religion is expressed in textbooks intended for use in late middle school to early high school. This was done with the hope of bringing relevance to the idea of involving lived religion in the religious education in Swedish schools. Lived religion, as described by Meredith McGuire, Katarina Plank and Daniel Enstedt, refers to how everyday people experience and express their religiosity, unlike how official representatives of certain religious faiths like priests and rabbis do. In addition to the previous description of lived religion, Nancy Ammerman’s four categories concerning lived religion as a scientific field, will also work as an underlying factor for further specification. Also worth mentioning is that this study is structured diachronically, which means that the survey material consists of four textbooks, each one from a different decade. This idea exists to also involve how the representation of lived religion has changed over time. Lastly the textbooks were put in correlation with the curricula provided by the Swedish national agency for education, to see if these could have had an impact on the content concerning lived religion. The textbooks were examined using a qualitative content analysis, as well as a comparative one. This allowed for the result to be divided into two different themes: the text within the textbooks, and the influence of the curricula.  This study produced multiple conclusions, each one varying depending on which textbook was examined. In summary, the representation of lived religion varied in range from book to book. The book published in 1989 saw a relatively small amount of examples concerning lived religion, and instead focused on the history of religions. The following book from 1994 started to show an increase in content regarding lived religion, with it reaching its peak in the book from 2003. Lived religion in the study’s final book from 2014 did although decrease, with the authors instead choosing to base the book entirely on the active curriculum. Although descriptions of how three of these textbooks based their content on the certain curricula were lacking, every textbook nevertheless corresponded with the content of its curriculum. The conclusion drawn from this was thereby that the authors intentionally or unintentionally based the contents of their books on the then active curriculum.

Exploring Translanguaging in English Textbooks : A Content Analysis of Upper and Lower Secondary School English Textbooks.

Hallberg, Simon January 2022 (has links)
Under de senaste decennierna har translanguaging fått mycket intresse inom SLA-sfären (SecondLanguage Learning). Samtida migration och den ständigt ökandeglobaliseringen har lett till en omvärdering av tvåspråkighet och flerspråkighet. Medan forskningavsett de lätt observerbara metoderna hos lärare och studenter har fått mycket uppmärksamhet, har det material som valts av lärare inte. Således är målet med denna studie att undersöka omoch hur translanguaging-metoder främjas inom ett urval av vanliga engelska läroböcker. För att uppnå detta använde studien innehållsanalys för att identifiera möjliga översättningsmetoder inom läroböckernas uppgifter. Resultaten av studien visar att översättningsmetoder kunde identifieras i alla utvalda läroböcker. Den vanligast identifierade transspråkliga uppgiften var översättning, både när det gäller översättning av ord samt meningar och fraser. Det analyserade materialet indikerade dock en trend att användningen av svenska som undervisningsspråk helt enkelt var ett pragmatiskt verktyg som användes för att kompensera för elevernas bristande språkkunskaper. Detta gjorde det svårt att bedöma om identifierade uppgifter faktiskt kunde karakteriseras som pedagogiskt translanguaging material (PTM). För framtida forskning skulle nästa logiska steg vara att observera om de identifierade typerna oftasks faktiskt leder till translanguaging praxis i klassrummet samt genomföra forskning om mer varierat klassrumsmaterial.

Input Robustness: An In-Depth Study of ESL/EFL Textbooks

Lew, Wai Man Adrienne January 2022 (has links)
Input—that is, meaningful samples of the target language to which learners are exposed—is generally considered the most essential condition for second language (L2) development. Theoretical and empirical research on this key construct, however, remains scarce. To date, the field’s understanding of input has mostly been fragmentary and shallow. Crucial questions, such as what input characteristics make it indispensable for mastering any linguistic construction, are partially addressed, at best. This study sought to advance a holistic conceptualization of input in empirical research via the theoretical lens of L2 input robustness from the Selective Fossilization Hypothesis (Han, 2009, 2013, 2014). Specifically, the distributional characteristics of the simple present and present progressive in a beginner-to-advanced English as a Second or Foreign Language textbook corpus were identified using form-function analysis. Input robustness was assessed as a function of the range and types of each target construction’s mappings of form, meaning, and function (FMF) in context (“input variability”) and the frequency distribution of those mappings (“input frequency”). A mathematical model was custom-built to simulate increasing magnitudes of input variability. Insights regarding each construction’s variability and frequency were then integrated for extrapolation through a novel application of the input robustness formula. The study found that specifying distributional characteristics with FMF descriptors (e.g., one form encoding multiple meanings in multiple contexts) provided objective benchmarks for cross-construction comparisons. Moreover, the most robust textbook datasets for both constructions consistently ranked as the top two lowest in variability and the top two highest in frequency. Furthermore, the less context-dependent the FMF mappings exemplified are, the less variable a target construction would become, and vice versa. Finally, both the simple present and present progressive were determined to be “quite robust” (i.e., somewhat invariable and somewhat infrequent) in the textbook corpus, despite differences in magnitude. Overall, these findings suggest that the input robustness approach leads to a more holistic understanding of input. Conceptually, this input robustness study addressed how a target construction’s FMF consistency and frequency distribution are intricately connected in the input. Methodologically, the study demonstrated how those intricacies can be integrated into falsifiable terms for further interpretation.

Tvådimensionella figurer i digitala läromedel : En innehållsanalys av digitala läromedel i grundskolans årskurs 1–3 med fokus på tvådimensionella figurer / : A content analysis of digital textbooks in compulsory school years 1-3 with focus on two-dimensional objects

Larsson, Emma, Hansemark, Lena January 2021 (has links)
Detta arbete berör ämnesområdet matematik med inriktning geometri. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att analysera olika digitala läromedel för grundskolans årskurs 1–3 för att synliggöra hur innehållet kan förstås utifrån olika lärteorier. De vetenskapliga lärteorierna som ligger till grund för detta arbete är Variationsteorin och van Hieles teori för geometriskt tänkande. I analysen har geometriuppgifter gällande tvådimensionella figurer analyserats utifrån variationsteorin, kring variationsmönster och kritiska aspekter. Samma uppgifter analyserades även utifrån van Hieles teori kring nivåer och faser för det geometriska tänkandet. En innehållsanalys gav oss möjlighet att undersöka både hur frekvent en viss aspekt av de olika teorierna förekom men även hur uppgifter i de valda digitala läromedlen kunde förstås enligt de två teorierna. Resultatet av denna innehållsanalys visade att innehållsmässig variation i uppgifter kan bidra till förståelse för tvådimensionella figurer och dess egenskaper. Resultatet visade även att det fanns möjlighet till progression av kunskaper om tvådimensionella figurer och dess egenskaper, detta genom uppgifter med varierande svårighetsgrader som avancerade inom och mellan årskurserna. / This study concerns the subject of mathematics with focus on geometry. The aim of this study has been to analyze different digital textbooks suited for compulsory school years 1-3 to visualize how the content can be understood based on different learning theories. This study is based on the Variation Theory and the van Hiele Model of Geometric Thinking. In this analysis, geometry assignments regarding two-dimensional figures have been analyzed based on patterns of variation and critical aspects of the Variation Theory. The same assignments were also analyzed based on van Hiele’s theory of levels and phases of geometric thinking. A content analysis gave us the opportunity to examine both how frequently a certain aspect of the various theories occurred but also how the assignments could be understood according to the two theories. The results of this study showed that content variation in assignments can contribute to an understanding of two-dimensional figures and their properties. The results also showed that there were opportunities for progression of knowledge about two-dimensional figures and their properties, this through assignments with varying degrees of difficulty that advanced within and between grades.
