Elevprestationer och lärstilar : En intervju- och observationsstudie i matematik med lärare i år 4-6Rhawi, Nursel January 2008 (has links)
This study investigates the teaching strategies of four teachers, and determines which teaching strategies give better results in mathematics at the middle school level? Result here means the knowledge level of the students. The result has been measured through leave out a mathematical test, which I leave out designed. Teaching strategies have been assessed through interviews with teachers and observations of their lessons. My study shows that to go through the lessons thoroughly in the traditional way, and open discussions with the whole class are best for students achievements. The information available, however, is too limited to draw some general conclusions, but my study can be seen more like a counter-example to the general praxis that is short lectures and individual assessment with one to one communication when teaching mathematics.

Nyanlända elever i svensk skolkontext : En studie om nyanlända elevers möjligheter till inkludering i undervisningen ur ett interkulturellt perspektivBaran, Funda January 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to understand how teachers in the preparatory class and regular class, in the meeting with newly arrived pupils, plan and carry out their teaching. This in order to facilitate social interaction and learning in the classroom, from an intercultural perspective. The examination was conducted through interviews with four teachers from the schools that I selected. The teachers gave their perspective on their approach to newly arrived pupils, through interviews. The result shows that the teachers have ambitions to start from the newly arrived pupils' own ideas and from their prior knowledge. They use these aspects as a starting point in the child's continued learning. You can see the tendencies of the intercultural approach in education that involves respectful responses that relate to the pupils' background, life and knowledge. The intercultural approach that largely pervades the teaching of the researched school allows the newly arrived pupils to have access to a school that accepts and respects them. The conclusion is that when these teachers educate, they use various teaching methods and they also offer each pupil the opportunity to gain knowledge and feel socially included. Teaching strategies that benefit the newly arrived pupils and that includes the pupil both educationally and socially in the classroom, has been described by every teacher. And the result shows that each pupil has individual abilities and needs for learning. The newly arrived pupils are included in the regular classroom with the other pupils, but yet they are excluded from the regular lessons because of teacher's teaching strategies that can be seen as flawed from an intercultural perspective. This result shows that the newly arrived pupils are prevented from participating in the didactic and the social inclusion in the regular classroom with the other pupils, which also can result in them falling outside and pointed out as different.

"När jag blir stor drömmer jag om ett liv i storstaden med shopping utanför dörren och starbucks i handen" : En studie av skriftspråket hos tre unga bloggerskor i Jönköping / "When I grow older I dream of a life in the big city with shopping outside the door and starbucks i my hand : A study of the written language of three young bloggers in JönköpingLindström, Ida, Ståhlgren, Clara January 2013 (has links)
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka tre unga bloggerskor från Jönköping och deras sätt att skriva. Genom att undersöka de grammatiska strukturerna i fem inlägg av varje bloggerska och jämföra dem med varandra, vill vi utläsa ett eventuellt gemensamt bloggspråk. I vår bakgrund beskriver vi bloggens utveckling och dess roll i den svenska skolan. Forskning kring blogg, med särskild betoning på bloggspråk, är begränsad. Vår undersökning syftar till att vara en kvalitativ studie där vi har utgått från en stilanalys kompletterad med en variabelanalys. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten i vår uppsats är genreteori som åsyftar att genre påverkas, förändras och skapas i sociala situationer. I vår undersökning har vi valt att undersöka variabler inom ortografi och syntax. Utifrån blogginläggen har vi sett att det finns tydliga talspråkliga influenser i bloggerskornas skriftspråk. Vi anser att dessa tendenser med den fria användningen av interpunktion, det enkla skriftspråket och avvikandet från skriftspråksnormerna är de gemensamma dragen som utgör ett bloggspråk. / This paper aims to examine three young bloggers’ from Jönköping and their way of writing. By examining the grammatical structures in five blog posts by each blogger and comparing them with each other, we wish to detect a possible common blog language. In our background we describe the development of the blog and its role in the Swedish school. Research on blogs, with specific focus on blog language, is limited. Our survey has been carried put through a qualitative study based on style analysis with variable analysis as a supplement. The theoretical premiss of our paper is genre theory that refers to that the genre is influenced, changed and created in social situations. In our survey we have chosen to examine variables in orthography and syntax. Based on the blog posts, we can see that there are clear influences from the spoken language in the bloggers’ written language. We believe that this trend with the liberal usage of punctuation, easy-to-read language and the negligence of written language norms are similarities that form a blog language.

Re-Thinking the Portable School: A New System for the Durham District School BoardGreen, Jacqueline Darlene 19 March 2013 (has links)
This thesis investigates strategies for the portable classroom as a way of envisioning a new model for elementary schools in the region of Durham, Ontario. The portable and the school configuration is informed by a set of rules determined by site and program, making each school building unique and suited for its particular context. Geometry and play are at the core of how children learn, and the architecture will implicitly and explicitly engage this sense of play and learning. The pieces making up the modules have an aesthetic similar to Lego and K’nex toys, which immediately engages the childrens’ imagination and understanding, creating both a playful and engaging environment for learning. The strategy also brings together a variety of geometric pieces that form different classroom types and which can reconfigure for different rooms and uses. As such, the students may understand how the modules stack and stagger to create unique interstitial spaces for the public and for informal learning. These modules can be reconfigured using interior components that create a variety of smaller environments within the larger classrooms. As well as for expansion and contraction of school populations, these components could be recycled for use by other schools with growing populations. Thus, changing the role of the portable into a malleable, moveable aggregate, and making it easier and therefore economical to add, transform and subtract classrooms and learning spaces, school buildings come to life and change along with their setting.

Erasmus Darwin’s Deistic Dissent and Didactic Epic Poetry: Promoting Science Education to a Mixed Audience Under the Banner of ToleranceMartin, KIRSTEN 09 July 2012 (has links)
Erasmus Darwin’s task as a Deistic Dissenter poet who wished to promote science education to a mixed audience was complex. There was mainstream concern over what Deists and Dissenters actually believed about God, their involvement in science, and, especially, how their published works, whatever the subject, might affect public morality and politics. I argue that Darwin’s poetry is primarily in the genre of Lucretian didactic epic but that it also involves elements of other written traditions (literary and non-literary). I focus on English didactic poetry, the theological written traditions of Dissent and Deism, and a particular tradition of erotic satire. The genre of Lucretian didactic epic and the tradition of English didactic poetry are non-identical. In Darwin’s Lucretian didactic epic, resemblances to such poems as Pope’s Essay on Man challenge ideas about what kind of narrative a didactic poem in the English language can deliver. Techniques from the theological written traditions of Dissent and Deism reflect Darwin’s affiliations, signal that science education fits within a larger debate about intellectual freedom, and promote tolerance for differences of opinion about nature. Mimicry of a particular tradition of erotic satire helps to downplay the address to a mixed audience while satirising some common misconceptions about poetry, botany, and women in the period. Darwin’s poetry challenges ideas about what people from his community of belief meant to communicate or transmit by writing for the general public, what the general public was entitled to learn, and what poetry was able to teach. Perhaps Darwin’s biggest modification of Lucretian didactic epic was that he did not tell his readers exactly what to think, but how. / Thesis (Ph.D, English) -- Queen's University, 2012-07-09 10:04:51.446
