Syftet med vår undersökning är att undersöka möjligheter och hinder förlärarstudenter vid Malmö Högskola att genomföra utbytesstudier genomutbytesprogrammet Erasmus. Studien har utgått ifrån följande frågeställningar:Vilken bild ger några lärarstudenter vid Malmö Högskola av genomförandet avsina utbytesstudier med Erasmusprogrammet? Vilken bild gerErasmuskoordinatorn vid Malmö Högskola av deras arbete med lärarstudentersutbytesstudier? Vilken bild ges av människor som arbetar medinternationaliseringsfrågor vid fakulteten lärande och samhälle på MalmöHögskola om utbytesstudiers betydelse för lärarstudenter? För att kunna besvarafrågeställningarna har vi använt oss utav forskning som rör bland annatlärarstudenters mobilitet, internationalisering och interkulturell kompetens. Dennatidigare forskning visar på låg mobilitet hos lärarstudenter samtidigt som det ställsnya krav på lärare i en allt mer internationaliserad värld.Studien har genomförts med hjälp utav kvalitativa intervjuer med tvålärarstudenter vid Malmö Högskola, som genomfört utbytesstudier genomErasmusprogrammet samt en gruppintervju med personal vid Malmö Högskola.Genom vår insamlade empiri framkommer det från studenterna en positiv syn påderas utbytesstudier, de menar att de har påverkat dem både på ett personligt samtpå ett professionellt plan. Däremot framkommer det att lärarutbildningen vidMalmö Högskola inte har ett tydligt arbetssätt för att utbytesstudier ska bli såutvecklande som möjligt för lärarstudenter.

Utbytesstudenter har i tidigare studier identifierats som ett betydelsefullt segment inom ungdomsturismen, däremot har många destinationer inte tagit tillvara på de fördelar denna grupp för med sig. Denna studie undersökte vilka fördelar Kalmars utbytesstudenter förde med sig till staden. Eftersom tidigare studier har identifierat de tre största fördelarna som ekonomiska, kulturella och marknadsföring blev det dessa tre kategorier som vi valde att undersöka i vår studie. Denna studie bygger på en enkätundersökning och tre olika former av intervjuer.   Ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv visade vår studie att Kalmars utbytesstudenter betalade en levnadskostnad, de förde med sig besökare och de reste i staden, regionen, i övriga Sverige och Europa under sitt utbyte. Många av studenterna kunde även tänka sig att återvända till Kalmar i framtiden. När det kom till marknadsföring visade vår undersökning att majoriteten av utbytesstudenterna hade en positiv bild utav Kalmar. De flesta använde sig även av sociala medier och en stor del av dessa uppgav att de skrivit om eller nämnt Kalmar i sina uppdateringar. Majoriteten av studenterna kunde även tänka sig att rekommendera Kalmar till framtida utbytesstudenter. Den största kulturella påverkan utbytesstudenter har på en destination är att de utsätter värdbefolkningen för andra kulturer, men för att detta ska kunna ske behöver de interagera med värddestinationen. Vår undersökning visade att i Kalmar sker inte detta fullt ut, studenterna själva kände att de sällan interagerade med värdbefolkningen under sin tid här.   Vår slutsats blev att ur ett ekonomiskt och kulturellt perspektiv kunde vi inte med säkerhet säga till vilken utsträckning utbytesstudenterna kan anses vara en betydelsefull grupp för Kalmar. Däremot såg vi att ur ett marknadsföringsperspektiv fanns flertalet fördelar. Slutsatsen blev därmed att även om vi inte kunde mäta utsträckningen av de olika fördelarna så finns dessa och bör tas tillvara på av Kalmar. / Exchange students has been seen as an important segment of youth tourism according to previous studies of the topic, nevertheless have destinations failed to see the connection between the group and the advantages that comes with. This study aimed to investigate what kind of advantages the exchange students of Kalmar brings to the city. Previous research discusses the biggest advantages as economic, cultural and marketing, these three became the categories we investigated in our study. The study is based on a survey and three interviews.   Our study showed that the exchange students in Kalmar payed basic living costs. They also brought visitors and travelled around the destination as well as to other Swedish and European cities. They proved to have long term economic advantages since many of them planned to come back in the future. The result of the study when it came to marketing was that most of the students had a positive image of Kalmar, most of them also used social media and talked about or mentioned Kalmar in their updates. Many of the students would also recommend Kalmar to future exchange students. The biggest cultural impact according to previous research was that exchange students expose the host society for different cultures, however this can only happen if the exchange students gets the chance to interact with the local people and students at the destination. Our study showed that the exchange students did to some extent interact with the local students but not very much with the local society.   Our conclusion became that we couldn’t say for sure to what extent exchange students affected Kalmar from an economic and cultural perspective. But we can say that from the marketing perspective the exchange students brought some advantages. We think that even though we cannot say for sure to what extent the students affect Kalmar, we do believe that the advantages that comes with the exchange students needs to be addressed and recognized by the destination and its actors.

This paper presents an advanced – international – blended learning arrangement. It has been developed, implemented and reviewed regularly in the last 4 years at the authors’ institution. Instead of referring solely to traditional classroom teaching, we use and continually refine this arrangement in our every-day formal teaching and learning processes at Technische Universitaet Dresden. By this we take into regard the changes induced by the Bologna Roadmap and try better to support its “new” didactical objectives: more interactive and interdisciplinary modules with focus upon the (practical) integration of professional and methodical responsibility, decision-making and soft skills.

Darbo aktualumas ir problema. Lietuvos Respublikos švietimo įstatyme yra numatyta, kad Lietuvos gyventojai turi teisę mokytis kitose šalyse. Studijuoti užsienyje nėra lengva: su sunkumais susiduriama ne tik akademiniame, bet ir dvasiniame lygmenyje. K. Singhas (1993) išskiria pagrindines problemas, su kuriomis susiduriama bestudijuojant užsienyje: emocinės – vienišumas, namų ilgesys, mitybos sutrikimai, pergyvenimas dėl rūpesčių namuose; akademinės – bendravimas užsienio kalba, aukštesnis studijų lygis, nesusipratimai tarp dėstytojų ir studentų; prisiderinimas – tai priklauso nuo socialinės klasės (aukštesnio socialinio lygmens studentai adaptuojasi lengviau negu vidutinio), universiteto lygio (lengviau studijuoti provincijos universitetuose), studijų trukmės, amžiaus ir asmeninių savybių. Visi šie faktai rodo, jog užsieniečiai studentai kenčia labiau negu vietiniai, kadangi jie dažniau patiria papildomus stresus, tokius kaip komunikacijos barjeras, kultūrinė dezorganizacija: senos ir naujos kultūros vertybių susidūrimas, šeimos paramos stoka. Kuo didesnis skirtumas tarp kultūrų, tuo sunkiau individui akultūruotis naujoje aplinkoje, tuo jis ilgesnį laiką jausis ,,iškritęs“ iš bendruomenės. Akultūrizacijos procesas individualus, todėl vykstant svetur turėtų būti iš anksto pasiruošiama, kaip sušvelninti šią būseną. Darbo naujumas. Akademinio jaunimo dalyvavimas tarptautiniuose mainuose ir adaptacija svetimoje šalyje buvo gvildenta įvairiuose lietuvių moksliniuose darbuose...

Studying abroad is not an easy task: students have difficulties not only in academic field but psychologically as well. K.Singh (1993) pointed out main problems that people have while studying abroad: emotional – loneliness, missing home, eating disorders, worries for what is going at home; academic – communication in foreign language, higher level of studies, misunderstandings between professors and students; readjustment that depends on social class (students coming from higher social level adopt themselves easier than those from average level), university level (it’s easier to study at regional institutions), time-span of studies, personal age and characteristics. Facts reveal that students from abroad suffer more than natives as they often experience additional stress like communication barrier, cultural disorganization: conflict between old and new cultural values, lack of family support. The more different cultural environment is the harder is acculturation process for individuals. Individuals feel out of community for a longer time then. Acculturation is an individual process so before moving abroad one has to be prepared how to ease the condition. Innovation of the present paper: Participation in international exchange of students and their adaptation in foreign countries was analyzed in various scientific works but mainly... [to full text]

(in English): The master's thesis The Role of Studying Abroad for Future Teachers deals with the impact of an international study visit on prospective teachers and identifies areas of their professional training which can be affected most. The theoretical part of the thesis expands on studying abroad and the Erasmus Programme. It also deals with the teacher's personality, their competencies and pedagogical skills. The practical part of the thesis is devoted to specific international study visits within selected academic fields; it also analyses the respective study plans and estimates the extent of their possible influence on future teachers.

Every year thanks to the Erasmus Programme hundreds of students spend a semester studying at a university abroad. In the Czech Republic available data cover only the number of student mobilities and of ECTS credits acquired, or show how the students were satisfied with their studies. The goal of the thesis is to find out whether, or how, the students' intercultural competence increased, how their view on citizenship changed, and how they perceive global citizenship. In the thesis, intercultural competence is measured purely quantitatively using the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire, citizenship is studied by the use of several open questions. Liberal model of citizenship is the most prominent among the students. As for global citizenship, the students' opinions vary. Most often, it was described as an affiliation to the Earth. Intercultural competence has not increased substantially in connection with the studies abroad. If not only academic development, but also increase in intercultural competence and development of responsible (global) citizens is to be achieved by studies abroad, students need to be better prepared for their stay.

Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) apresentou suas ideias evolutivas principalmente no fim do século XVIII. No entanto, elas não foram consideradas na época. Seu neto, Charles Darwin (1809-1882), na 6ª edição do Origin of species as avaliou de modo negativo, comparando-as às concepções equivocadas de Lamarck. O objetivo desta dissertação é inicialmente, descrever as concepções de hereditariedade e evolução de Erasmus, considerando o contexto de sua época. Além disso, procura esclarecer se o tratamento recebido se deveu a uma proposta fraca ou se ela mereceria uma maior consideração. Esta dissertação contém uma Introdução e quatro capítulos. O Capítulo 1 discute a vida, trabalhos e contexto em que Erasmus apresentou suas ideias. O Capítulo 2 lida com as concepções de herança e evolução presentes em Zoonomia. O Capítulo 3 discute sobre as concepções de Erasmus sobre a transformação das espécies nas plantas. O Capítulo 4 compara as concepções evolutivas de Erasmus com as de Lamarck. O Capítulo 5 procura responder às perguntas colocadas no início desta pesquisa e apresenta algumas considerações finais sobre o assunto discutido. Esta pesquisa leva à conclusão de que a transmutação das espécies não era o principal interesse de Erasmus. Ele não ofereceu uma fundamentação empírica para suas ideias. Este fato, juntamente com a situação sócio-político-religiosa da época, muito provavelmente contribuiu para a recepção sofrida. Além disso, embora existam algumas semelhanças entre as propostas de Erasmus e Lamarck, existem também grandes diferenças tais como a abrangência da pesquisa, o espaço dedicado à discussão das ideias, a fundamentação oferecida, dentre outras. Erasmus não propôs uma teoria coerente lidando com desde a origem da vida até o aparecimento do homem como Lamarck. Ele somente apresentou algumas ideias a esse respeito em obras dedicadas a outros assuntos. / Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) mainly presented his evolutionary views at the end of the 18th century. However, they were not considered carefully at that time. His grandson, Charles Darwin (1809-1882), in the 6th edition of Origin of species evaluated them in a negative way, comparing them to Lamarcks erroneous conceptions. The aim of this dissertation is firstly to describe Erasmus Darwins conceptions on heredity and evolution considering the context of his time. Besides that, it tries to elucidate the reception received by them was due to a weak proposal or whether they deserved greater consideration. This dissertation comprises an Introduction and five chapters. Chapter 1 discusses Erasmus Darwins life, work and the context in which he presented his ideas. Chapter 2 deals with the conceptions of inheritance and evolution which are present in Zoonomia. Chapter 3 discusses Erasmus view on the transmutation of species in plants. Chapter 4 compares Erasmuss evolutionary conceptions to Lamarcks ones. Chapter 5 tries to answer the questions proposed in the beginning of this research and presents some final remarks concerning the subject. This research leads to the conclusion that the transmutation of species was not the main Erasmus concern. He did not present any empirical foundation of his views related to the subject. This fact, together with the socio-political-religious situation, must have contributed to its reception. Besides that, although there were some similarities between Erasmuss and Lamarcks proposal there were also great differences such as the scope of the research, the space dedicated to its discussion, the foundation provided, among others. Erasmus did not provide a coherent theory of the transmutation of species dealing with since the origin of life to the rise of man, departing from a study of natural history such as Lamarck. In this respect, he only presented a few ideas in works dedicated to other subjects.
