Musik som uttrycksform och kommunikationsmedel i institutionen grundskola : En analys av lärare och elevers tal om musikundervisning för årskurs 4-6

Björk, Harald January 2016 (has links)
The purpose of the bachelor thesis Music as a form of expression and communication in the Department of Primary School - an analysis of teachers and students talk about music education for grades 4-6, is to examine how the aim “to provide students with opportunities to acquire music as a form of expression and means of communication” written in the curriculum for the compulsory school is expressed in the actual the actual music education for grades 4-6. The result of the survey is that the actual teaching focuses on preparing artisanal skills such as play technical qualities, music theory and history. The curriculum core content for different grades have a dominant influence in linguistically pronounced distinctions of what music education is, and should be which control the actual music teaching content. The core content for grades 4-6 does not include practical creativity and expression but focus on the defined preparatory artisanal skills. I have in my collection of empirical data used literature studies, qualitative semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. I have structured my material on the basis of a methodology taken in theory of critical discourse and cultural psychology and analyzed this from a sociocultural perspective. Theoretical approaches have also been theory of power in the relationship, children and adults as well as theory in the roots of the philosophy of art.

A LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP : RECONNECTING HOTELS WITH THEIR GUESTS VIA INTUITIVE DESIGN

Wu, Naomi January 2018 (has links)
Currently for travel planning, guests will research via hotel websites while still preferring to book through third-party sites, which leads to a disconnect between hotels and their guests. A chat widget artifact that is added onto the hotel’s website and linked through messaging applications was created by a start-up company, Bookboost, to bridge this gap. The current intuitiveness of the artifact and future improvements that may increase intuitiveness was investigated through a case study of user and expert analysis. 10 participants – 5 hotel staff users and 5 guest users – were sampled at hotel lobbies via systematic sampling and non-random sampling. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 65 years old, with 30% being millennials. Task analysis, an interview, and a questionnaire were used for user analysis. The researcher acted as an evaluator and examined the artifact for flaws and possible improvements using activity theory’s human-artifact model (HAM). Analyses suggest that current intuitiveness is fairly high, but there is room for improvement. There seems to be a difference between millennials and non-millennials, especially regarding the amount of time taken and preference for the artifact (versus more familiar methods for communicating with others). Interest and comfort in technology usage was a factor in intuitiveness. Generally, those more comfortable with technology had higher zone of proximal development (ZPD) scores. Improvements have been suggested that may increase artifact intuitiveness, although this was not tested due to the scope of the study. Future research can continue to examine if the suggested improvements have indeed increased intuitiveness in the artifact for users of all ages. / Vid reseplanering brukar gäster ofta undersöka hotellwebbplatser men sedan ändå föredra att boka via tredjepartssidor, vilket leder till en klyfta mellan hotellen och deras gäster. För att överbrygga detta gap har startupföretaget Bookboost skapat en chattwidget (artefakt) som läggs till på hotellets webbplats och länkas till användarnas chattappar. Denna artefakts nuvarande intuitivitet och möjlighet till framtida intuitivitetsförbättringar undersöks genom en fallstudie av upplevelsen hos både experter och vanliga användare. 10 deltagare – 5 hotellmedarbetare och 5 gäster – rekryterades via förfrågan i hotellfoajéer utifrån ett systematiskt urval och icke-slumpmässigt urval. Deltagarna varierade i ålder från 18 till 65 år, med 30% inom milleniegenerationen. Uppgiftsanalys, intervju, och frågeformulär tillämpades i användaranalysen. Forskaren fungerade som utvärderare och undersökte artefaktens brister och möjliga förbättringar med hjälp av aktivitetsteorins human-artifact model (HAM). Analyserna tyder på att dagens intuitivitet är ganska hög, men att det finns utrymme för förbättringar. Det verkar finnas en generationsskillnad mellan äldre och yngre användare, särskilt när det gäller tidsåtgången och preferensen för artefakten (jämfört med mer välbekanta kommunikationsmetoder). Intresset för och komforten med teknologianvändning var en faktor i intuiviteten. I allmänhet uppnådde de som var mer bekväma med teknik en högre poäng i zonen för proximal utveckling (ZPD). Förbättringar som kan öka intuitiviteten för artefakten föreslås, även om prövandet av dessa inte ryms inom ramen för denna studie. Framtida forskning kan undersöka om de föreslagna förbättringarna verkligen ökar artefaktens intuitivitet för användare i alla åldrar.
