This study examines how two common ways of studying, mandatory Group study and Individual study, affects students’ mental health. 45 Swedish University students were scouted on the web and linked to an online questionnaire where they rated themselves during two conditions: working in group projects and working individually. A Student's t-test showed a strong significant difference between stress levels during Group study and Individual study, with Group study generating higher levels of distress among the participants. These findings are relevant to the discourse of stress and stressors in the educational environment as well as in work settings.

The problem of this study was an analysis of an individual study instructional approach of teaching mathematical concepts as they relate to business needs. The purposes were as follow: (1) to identify mathematical competencies required by business firms; (2) to further validate CVAE materials; (3) to evaluate the achievement of vocational office education students using programmed materials to review business mathematics; and (4) to develop, present, and describe a teaching model for these applications.

This thesis deals with the inclusion and integration of pupils with a different mother tongue in Czech elementary schools and point to the readiness of Czech schools and teachers for the integration of these pupils. The theoretical part is mainly focused on describing the best practices of integration and inclusion of pupils with a different mother tongue. In the empirical part are processed data from observations of lessons, interviews with teachers, educational consultant, school principals and interviews and published case studies of students with a different mother tongue. Research case study approach is the inclusion of pupils with a different mother tongue and the questionnaire. KEYWORDS Mother tongue, multicultural, inclusion, integration, foreigner, discrimination, migration, seeker, individual study plan.

Denna uppsats ämnar belysa om det går att digitalisera den individuella studieplanen på en institution vid Uppsala universitet. Digitalisering anses vara en av de största trenderna som påverkar dagens samhälle och det har visats bidra till ökad tillgänglighet och effektivitet inom offentlig förvaltning. Vid Uppsala universitet finns det i dagsläget behov av ett digitalt system för hanteringen av den individuella studieplanen. Studieplanen hanteras för tillfället som ett papper i form av en PDF och upplevs enligt tidigare studier, som ett mindre bra planerings- och uppföljningsverktyg. Forskningsarbetet har utförts baserat på forskningsstrategin Design & creation. Resultatet av forskningsprocessen är en informationsmodell, en processmodell i olika nivåer, samt en databas. Dessa modeller och databas är baserade på tidigare forskning, befintliga dokument och empiriskt material från intervjuer. Tidigare forskning omfattar ett verktyg för digitalisering, problem med identifierare, samt forskning kring modellering. De befintliga dokumenten utgörs av en tidigare studie om den individuella studieplan, samt lagstiftning, riktlinjer och allmän information gällande denna studieplan. Intervjuerna genomfördes med 9 informanter som använder studieplanen i sin roll på Uppsala universitet. Modellerna och databasen har utvärderats i en kriteriebaserad intervju med ämnesexpert, samt i en teoribaserad utvärdering. Forskningsresultatet tyder på att det är möjligt att digitalisera studieplanen med hjälp av de framlagda modellerna och databasen. Dessa modeller och databas kan med viss modifikation användas för att bygga ett digitalt gränssnitt och ett fullständigt system för studieplanen. / This thesis aims to illustrate whether it is possible to digitize the individual study plan at an institution at Uppsala university. Digitalization is considered one of the biggest trends that affects today’s society and it has been shown to contribute to increased accessibility and efficiency in public administration. Uppsala university has a need for a digital system for the individual study plan. It is currently handled as a paper in the form of a PDF and is perceived as an inferior planning and monitoring tool, according to previous studies. The research work has been carried out based on the research strategy Design & creation. The result of the research process is an information model, a process model at different levels and a database. These models and database are based on previous research, existing documents and empirical material from interviews. Previous research includes a tool for digitalization, problems regarding identifiers and research regarding modeling. The existing documents comprise a previous study of the ISP, legislation, guidelines and general information regarding the ISP. The interviews were conducted with 9 informants who use the study plan within their role at Uppsala university. The models and database have been evaluated in a criteria-based interview with a subject matter expert and in a theory-based evaluation. The research results indicate that it is possible to digitize the study plan using the presented models and database. These models and database can be used with slight modifications to build a digital interface and a complete system for the ISP.
