本研究中學生網際網路使用行為的主要目的有三：在瞭解中學生網路使用行為特性、中學生使用聊天室的互動特性，網路聊天室與學習的關係。文獻探討方面，本研究以資訊社會為背景，探討資訊素養問題，然後使用者與環境兩方面進行探討。從網路空間，鎖定在聊天室的網路環境下，使用者從青少年、匿名性到虛擬社群角度，經由使用符號在聊天室產生互動的分析，包括互動禮儀等相關主題。研究方法分調查與質性研究兩方面，調查方面針對台北市內外中學生經由網頁網路調查，質化部分分為觀察法，觀察聊天室的環境、訪談法，訪談中學生中學教師以及空大使用聊天室環境進行教學的教師。 研究結果發現：一、中學生網路使用的特性方面，使用經驗主要「半年至三年」，使用時段為18：00-21：00，最常從事的活動為聊天交友，上網地點以「家中」最多。2.使用網路交友動機主要為：想交新朋友、排遣寂寞感、打發時間、好奇等。3.中學生學會使用電腦網路與聊天室的都以朋友為主要來源。4.中學生選擇聊天室的條件包括：功能較豐富，畫面多采多姿，人數適中，主題相符，與室內對象的互動感覺不錯的人數越多等。 二、中學生使用聊天室的互動特性：1.聊天室互動與面對面互動皆需語言與非語言符號，但呈現方式不同。中學生使用者在「追求速度」以及「夠炫」的價值觀驅使下，產生當前的網路次級語言。2.使用匿名主要原因是「保護自己、隱密」，匿名產生兩極化現象，化名的命名包括：與姓名有關、與自己的表徵相關、自己想的理想名字、戲劇或故事角色中的名字、比較奇特沒有重複的名字等。化名以自己的考量為出發，而非為以吸引聊天對象，而除了化名外，在性別、年齡、職業。學歷上，大多數不使用假身份。3.互動對象上，「男女都有」最多，幾乎都為學生，以15-18歲高中生最多。網友數量上，十位以上最多。在網友與面對面情境的朋友差異上，大部分傾向認為面對面情境的朋友瞭解較深，而對網友持半信半疑的態度，但仍有認為網友較能無所顧忌的聊天，及交往容易而較能認同網友。 4.聊天社群遵循的互動禮儀，主要分為三個層次：第一層次為「基本原則」，以不造成身心傷害或不愉快的基本規則，大都屬於網路禮貌（netquette）的範圍，包括不暴露真實身份，不激怒對方，不羞辱對方，及自我保護等。第二層次為「順利原則」，不讓雙方產生誤解或困窘的規則，包括：1.成員發言權利平等，2.同時多人對談，3.「插話」行為的正常，4.高度的流動性，5.主題規範言論範圍，6.「舉止」文雅卻開放，7.關係的速成與脆弱，8.聊天室的社群關係（「我們一體」）。第三層次為「愉快原則」：此為更高的層次即是讓對方在互動中覺得愉快，包括：1.儘速的回應，2.善用聊天室的功能，3.使用網路次級用語。 三、網路聊天室與學習的關係方面：使用聊天室所習得的資訊素養上，在操作能力方面，是網路的操作熟練度；在技能上主要在「打字速度」，並且有較多的機會從中學習表達自我，抒發內在的情感，對網路的資訊採「半信半疑」的「後設處理」態度。適法性與倫理問題，則與聊天室的禮儀有關。使用聊天室的缺點在：1對資訊類科學生，可能無心學習程式設計等基礎課程2.網路次級用語，對傳統的國文教育，影響使用錯別字，不會斷句等。3.下課時間上網聊天，容易將聊天時後無論正向或負向的情緒，帶到下一堂課。4沈迷者無法自拔，影響功課。使用聊天室的好處在：1.相關的網路使用更為順手。2.機會學習電子郵件的使用、ICQ聊天，等相關軟體環境。3.短期內的「記憶」能力可能較佳。 教學的作法與注意事項方面，就環境特性而言包括：1.空間解放，2.時間解放，3.使用化名，4.兩極化現象，5.善用聊天室功能。就互動特性而言：1.輕鬆的氣氛，2.創造學習社群的「我們一體」感，3.社會建構主義式教學，4.協同教學，5.教師扮演導引的角色，6.教師仍擁有的絕對權力，7.人數的限制，8.善用「面子」問題，9.鼓勵正向自我坦露，10.激發集體智慧。11.先以閒聊開場。 建議方面，對中學生學校教育的建議：1.資訊素養的培養，2.與人交往的技巧，3..多元化的休閒活動，4.教師應親自使用網路，5.網路使用行為良好習慣的培養，6.多元使用教學管道，7.網路在學習上的運用。對中學生網路使用行為的輔導建議：1.對同學平時的關心與瞭解，2.傾聽多於建議，施以適時的輔導，3.注意交友狀況，4. 指導學生正當的情緒抒發行為，提供多重的抒發管道，5.多與他人接觸，學習人際相處之道，6.建立網路使用行為的責任，7.使用網路自我保護行為的教導。 / There are there main purposes of the research:1. To understand the characteristics of behavior of secondary school student using Internet, 2.the characteristics of interaction of secondary school student using chat room, 3.and the relationship of the chat room with learning. The research begins with the information society and information literacy. Then it analyzes the human interaction through Internet from two aspects: the environment and the people in it. The environment started with the human-computer interaction (HCI) , then it is based on the characteristics of cyberspace and further focused on the chat room. The user of the Internet discussed including 'anonymity', 'virtual community' and the 'youth'. The research methods include survey, observation and interview. The research results are found as follows: Most secondary school students using Internet at home at 18:00-21:00, and they have been using Internet for half to three years. The motivation of using Internet to make friends for: 1.making new friends,2. to let go of the loneliness,3. playing around and 4.curiosity etc. The interaction in chat room takes both language and non-language symbol. For the purpose of 'speed' and to 'show off', youth create and use sub-language in the Internet, it represented a kind of 'collective intelligence'. The anonymity is served to protect and conceal the users themselves. But except alias most youth user show their real status in chat room. The people they interact with including both sexes and most are students. Most users think their classmates are more familiar with than net friends, but still others think net friends are easier to talk any secrets without worrying they might tell other people users know around. There are three levels about ritual in the internet: 1.basic principle；2.smooth principle；3.pleasure principle. Every principle and its rules contain are also discussed. The negative effect of using chat room includes: 1. For students major in computer too early to use Internet may let them disconcentrate on program design, 2. Chatters of chat room always use bad Chinese grammar, 3.When chatting between two courses, the mood will affected even next course begins,4. Users who indulge in it will badly affect their learning. The positive effect of using chat room including: 1.they can use Internet more smoothly, 2. They Have more chances to learn to use e-mail, ICQ etc., 3.they may remember things better for a short period of time. When teaching through chat room, it will help teachers to achieve the aim by noticing following notes: 1.create the easy atmosphere, 2.forming 'we-us' learning community, 3.social constructivism teaching, 4.corporate teaching. 5.the leading role of teacher, 6.absolute power for teacher, 7.limitating the number participators, 8.make best of 'face value', 9.encouraging positive self-expression, 10.arousing collective intelligence, 11. courses begin with chatting. Suggestions for secondary school, for secondary school student and for further study are also described.

94 items was developed that encapsulate what children notice in their classrooms as affecting the emotional environment and the language they use to describe it. Study 3 had 63 adults use a modified decision task to sort the 94 items into groups of their selection of similarity and dissimilarity. The analysis of these data revealed 11 clusters of items and 3 underlying dimensions - Teacher Affect, Teacher Expectations and Style, and Classroom Dynamics. Each dimension has two opposing ends, and each of the 94 items can be viewed on a three dimensional map showing their relationship to each of the other 93 items along these 3 underlying dimensions. The visual graphic makes these dimensions easy to interpret for those who are likely to be organising classroom environments. This research shows that when given a chance to talk about their experiences in classrooms, students can explain what they value in a classroom, what they will remember about school, and what influences them and their learning.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to investigate how some high school students experience their school's health work as well as their view on/understanding of health. Since the study is conducted in collaboration with the Swedish Institute FMS particular attention will be paid to a special intervention, named FMS. The research questions read: How is health presented in the students’ stories about the school’s health work? Where does the school's health work take place according to the students' stories? How do the students experience the subject Sport and Health? How do the students experience FMS:s health intervention? Method: A qualitative method has been used where nine students have been interviewed individually with the ambition to understand the phenomenon from the interviewees own perspective. A total of 18 interviews have been conducted since all participating students were interviewed on two different occasions. Results: Health for the students is primarily about feeling good and having the energy to perform. The pathogenic perspective appears the most when talking about physical health, while the salutogenic perspective becomes clearer when they argue about mental health and even more clear in social health. When the students talk about the opportunities and difficulties they experience about their own health, it mainly involves physical activity and diet. Here is a picture of how students seem to be about improving their health by being physically active and eating "good". Occasions when it is not possible to be physically active or to eat "good" therefore means that the students experience a difficulty for their own health. The school’s health work seems to, according to the student’s stories, mainly take place in the subject of Sport and Health, which is a subject the majority experiences provides good information and is fun. All students experience that the health intervention FMS has given them a deeper insight into what they can and can not do and what they need to improve with themselves. Overall, the interviewees describe how they think the FMS has been very good and fun. Conclusions: Regardless of whether a health work has a pathogenic or salutogenic perspective is it important for the school to think about how health is expressed in education and other health initiatives as it can ultimately affect students' approach to their health. / Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur några gymnasieelever upplever sin skolas hälsoarbete samt deras syn på/förståelse av hälsa. Då studien genomförs i samverkan med Svenska Institutet FMS kommer särskild uppmärksamhet att ägnas åt en speciell hälsoinsats, kallad FMS. Frågeställningarna lyder: Hur framställs hälsa i elevernas berättelser om skolans hälsoinsatser? Var sker skolans hälsoarbete enligt elevernas berättelser? Hur upplever eleverna ämnet Idrott och hälsa? Hur upplever eleverna FMS:s hälsoinsats? Metod: En kvalitativ metod har använts där nio elever har intervjuats individuellt med ambitionen att förstå fenomenet ur de intervjuades egna perspektiv. Totalt har 18 intervjuer genomförts då samtliga deltagande elever intervjuades vid två olika tillfällen. Resultat: Hälsa för eleverna handlar främst om att må bra och att ha ork till att prestera. Det patogena perspektivet framträder starkast när de talar om fysisk hälsa, medan det salutogena perspektivet blir tydligare när de resonerar om psykisk hälsa och än tydligare vid social hälsa. När eleverna talar om vilka möjligheter och svårigheter de upplever kring den egna hälsan rör det främst fysisk aktivitet och kost. Här framträds en bild av hur det för eleverna verkar handla om att man ska främja sin hälsa genom att vara fysiskt aktiv och att äta ”bra”. Tillfällen då det inte är möjligt att vara fysiskt aktiv eller att äta ”bra” ter sig därför för eleverna till att upplevas som en svårighet för den egna hälsan.   Skolans hälsoarbete verkar enligt elevernas berättelser främst ske i ämnet Idrott och hälsa, vilket är ett ämne som majoriteten upplever ger bra information och är roligt. Hälsoinsatsen FMS upplevs av samtliga elever ha givit dem endjupare insikt i vad de kan och inte kan göra samt vad de behöver förbättra med sig själva. Det beskrivs överlag i intervjuerna hur de tycker att FMS har varit väldigt bra och roligt. Slutsats: Oavsett om ett hälsoarbete har en patogen eller salutogen utgångspunkt är det viktigt för skolan att fundera över hur hälsa kommer till uttryck i såväl undervisning som övriga hälsoinsatser då det i slutändan kan påverka elevers förhållningssätt till sin hälsa.

Cette recherche étudie, dans une démarche inductive, ce que sont devenus les lycéens passés par une structure scolaire différente dont les pratiques pédagogiques et le projet d'établissement inspirés par l'éducation nouvelle affichent l'ambition de « former des jeunes autonomes responsables, ouverts, créatifs, capables de s'adapter, d'évoluer et de travailler en équipe ». Le dispositif méthodologique de recueil des données est constitué de quarante-deux récits de vie d'anciens élèves sortis de l'établissement entre 1990 et 2005, d'analyses secondaires de questionnaires existants, de statistiques produites par l'institution scolaire et du suivi de 450 anciens élèves sur les réseaux sociaux numériques depuis 2008. Les résultats montrent comment les élèves ont construit leur identité dans une expérience scolaire singulière et en quoi cette scolarité a joué, d'après eux, sur ce qu'ils sont devenus. Plus loin, ils montrent aussi que ce qui a été déterminant sur le long terme dans le devenir des élèves et la réussite de leur insertion sociale et professionnelle se serait passé en dehors de la classe, dans les relations et les apprentissages autonomes entre pairs, entre jeunes et adultes, la construction de réseaux sociaux durables et dans le développement de compétences psychosociales où la dimension collective est centrale. Enfin, cette étude atteste que cet établissement n'est pas à l'écart du monde mais au contraire que la parole des anciens élèves renseigne sur ce que seront les lycéens français demain. / This research based on an inductive approach, studies what the students became after having studied in a high school where different educational methods and an official school project inspired by the new education emphasize the ambition to train responsible and autonomous young students, open-minded as well as creative, who are able to adapt, evolve and work in a team. The methodological device of data collection consists of 42 accounts made by former students of this particular school who left the institution between 1990 and 2005, but also of secondary analyses of existing surveys, statistics produced by the school institution and the follow-up of 450 former students on social networks since 2008. The results show how these students built their identity thanks to a particular school experience and how according to them, their school years changed who they are today. They also show that what was decisive in the long run for their own personal success, their social and professional integration, happened outside their class, thanks to relationships and autonomous learning process between peers, but also between adults and themselves, or with the building of lasting social network and in the development of psychosocial skills where the collective dimension is central. This study also demonstrates that this school isn't aside the world but on the contrary that their words tell about what the future students will be.

A partir do construto de mediação simbólica de Vigotski, entendida como intrínseca ao processo de desenvolvimento psíquico e cultural humano, esta pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, investigou o espaço escolar enquanto mediador de significados e sentidos sobre a escola, tanto pelo que propõe sua configuração arquitetônica quanto pelas experiências e usos que possibilita ou que se faz desse espaço, com especial atenção para a sua ressignificação pelos usuários das escolas, principalmente os alunos. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em duas dimensões: análise do referencial teórico e pesquisa empírica. A pesquisa teórica percorreu autores de diversas áreas do conhecimento (Educação, Arquitetura, Psicologia, Filosofia e Geografia) que trouxeram importantes contribuições para esta reflexão. A pesquisa empírica foi realizada numa escola pública estadual da cidade de São Paulo, construída no período da Primeira República e com 104 anos de existência e tombada pelo CONDEPHAAT (Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico e Turístico da Secretaria da Cultura do Governo do Estado de São Paulo) pelo valor histórico, cultural e arquitetônico de seu prédio. Foram utilizados como procedimentos de coleta de dados a observação em campo e o registro iconográfico (fotografias e desenhos), entrevistas livres e registro de depoimentos espontâneos dos funcionários da escola e uma entrevista semiestruturada e em grupo com alunos do 8º ano do Ensino Fundamental todos com o objetivo de identificar e compreender a constituição, organização, uso, vivências cotidianas, apropriações e significados do espaço escolar. Desta forma, compôs-se uma reflexão que traz contribuições para o entendimento do espaço como construção humana e, como tal, lugar que carrega significações não aleatórias, mas passíveis de serem transformadas e recriadas por meio da diversidade de apropriações que pessoas reais fazem dele; lugar que impõe constrangimentos (conformando corporeidades e mentalidades) e impinge controle e disciplina ou que pode estar aberto à experimentação criativa; lugar impregnado pela(s) cultura(s), mas que também é habitado por percepções e vivências pessoais; e, no caso da escola, materialidade que propõe, ainda, sentidos sobre a escola e o conhecimento e sobre sua função em nossa sociedade. / From Vygotskys construct of symbolic mediation, understood as intrinsic to the human psychological and cultural development, this qualitative study has investigated the school environment as a mediator of meanings and senses of school, both by means of what the schools architectural configuration proposes and by the experience and uses that it allows, and has focused on the schools resignification by its users, especially students. The study included two dimensions: an analysis of the theoretical framework and empirical research. The theoretical research included authors from different areas of knowledge education, architecture, psychology, philosophy and geography , who brought important contributions to this discussion. The empirical research was conducted in a state public school in Sao Paulo city. Built 104 years ago, during the First Republic, such school was listed by Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Histórico, Arqueológico, Artístico e Turístico (CONDEPHAAT Council for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Touristic Heritage) of São Paulo State Department of Culture, for the historical, cultural and architectural value of its building. As for data collection, I used field observation and iconographic records (photographs and drawings), free interviews and recording of spontaneous comments from school officials and a semi-structured group interview with 8th grade students, aiming to identify and understand the constitution, organization, use, and daily experience and meanings of the school space. Thus, I have written a reflection that brings contributions to the understanding of space as a human construction and, as such, as a place that carries meanings that are not random and can be transformed and recreated through the diversity of appropriations by real people; a place that imposes constraints (conforming mentalities and corporealities) and enforces control and discipline or that may be open to creative experimentation; a place impregnated with culture(s), but also inhabited by our personal perceptions and experiences; and, in the case of school, materiality which also proposes senses of school and knowledge and about its role in our society.

Many secondary school teachers are currently facing students' lack of interest in the subjects taught. Research findings have also repeatedly shown that students' motivation for school work decreases as the length of the studies increases. Furthermore, students' level of motivation reaches a very low level during adolescence despite the fact that many of them make choices regarding their future careers. This thesis focuses on the relation between the motivation of students for school work and the attitudes and skills of teachers - their educational styles, and whether the relationship between students and them is positive or negative. The theoretical part of this paper introduces and describes the above mentioned concepts - educational styles and motivation - or more precisely, what kinds of motivation there are, and how these affect not only the learning process itself, but also the performance, results, and performance goals, all of which are closely linked. The practical part consists of a research investigation focused on verifying the link between students' motivation for school work and the educational styles used by their teachers. Key words motivation, education style, adolescence, achievement goals, academic achievements, learning process, teacher, secondary school student

Syfte Syftet med studien är att undersöka och analysera rektorers syn på gymnasieelevers möjlighet till att vistas i natur- och utemiljöer. Samt att använda naturen som en källa till välbefinnande under tiden i gymnasieskolan. Frågeställningar Vad anser rektorer om att gymnasieskolan ska erbjuda utemiljöer till elever under skoldagen? Vilka utemiljöer erbjuder skolan till sina gymnasieelever under deras tid där? Hur uttalar sig rektorer om utemiljöers och naturens effekter på gymnasieelevers välbefinnande? Metod Den kvalitativa ansatsen som faller in under “ett hermeneutiskt vetenskapsideal” har tillämpats (Hassmén & Hassmén, 2008, s. 104). Kvalitativa intervjuer har använts för att få svar på studiens frågeställningar och de är således studiens datainsamlingsmetod. Detta skedde genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med stöd av en intervjuguide. Urvalet för studien bestod av fyra rektorer från gymnasieskolor i Stockholms storstadsområde. Analys av resultatet har skett med utgångspunkt i ramfaktorteorin. Resultat Rektorerna kan inte uppge en exakt tid på hur mycket en gymnasieelev i en stockholmsskola ges möjlighet att vistas i natur- och utemiljöer. Dock kan slutsatsen dras att elever ges möjligheter mellan 10–75 min per dag. Denna tid är då främst på raster, eller tillfällen för förflyttning mellan lektioner. Årstider och väder har också stor påverkan då våren ses som den stora möjligheten till utevistelse. Möjlighet ges också via schemabrytande aktiviteter som friluftsdagar, temaveckor eller förlängd tid i idrott och hälsa. Ämnet som ger störst möjlighet och mest tid är idrott och hälsa, följt av biologi eller naturkunskap. Platsen som är den viktigaste utemiljön är skolgården. Andra platser som nämns är naturreservat, gräsytor och skogsdungar. Informationsspridningen om utemiljöers och naturens effekter sker via ämnena och kurserna. Slutsats Studiens viktigaste resultat är att ramfaktorn tid påverkar möjligheterna. Tiden som spenderas i uteoch naturmiljöer sker främst via skolgården. / Aim The purpose of the study is to investigate and analyze the principal's views on the possibility of high school students to live in outdoor environments. At the same time, use nature as a source of well-being while in high school Issues What do the principals think about that the school should offer outdoor environments to students during the school day? What outdoor environments does the school offer to its high school students during their time there? What do the principals say about the effects of outdoor environments and nature on the wellbeing of high school students? Method The qualitative approach that falls under “a hermeneutic ideal of science” has been applied (Hassmén & Hassmén, 2008, p. 104). Qualitative interviews have been used to answer the study's questions and are thus the study's data collection method. This was done through semi-structured interviews with the support of an interview guide. The study sample consisted of four principals from upper secondary schools in the Stockholm metropolitan area. Analysis of the results has been based on the framework factor theory and the issues on which the study is based. Results The principals cannot state an exact time on how much a high school student in a Stockholm school is given the opportunity to be in outdoor and natural environments. However, it can be concluded that students are given opportunities between 10–75 minutes per day. This time is then mainly via breaks, or occasions for moving between lessons. The seasons and weather also have a big impact as spring is seen as the great opportunity to be outdoors. Opportunity is then given through schedule-breaking activities such as outdoor days, theme weeks or extended time in sports and health. The subject that provides the greatest opportunity and most time is sports and health, followed by biology or science. The place that is the most important outdoor environment is the school yard. Other places mentioned are nature reserves, grasslands and woodlands. The dissemination of information about the effects of outdoor environments and nature takes place via the subjects and courses. Conclusion The most important result of the study is that the framework factor time affects the possibilities. The time spent outdoor and natural environments mainly takes place in the school yard.
