The development of a personal theory of therapy and change is an integral part of the training and educational philosophies of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at Utah State University. This personal theory attempts to identify and explain each student's beliefs regarding the specific mechanisms by which change occurs, thus providing a therapeutic backbone from which one may integrate various interventions, ideas, concepts, and approaches to therapy. As one engages in the process of integration, it becomes critical for students to evaluate their performances. A thorough self-evaluation that includes the utilization of scientific methods leads to the development of important scientist-practitioner skills that may be difficult to obtain through any means. This study was designed to elucidate and investigate a single therapist's utilization and integration of hope theory in an effort to increase his ability to find, nurture, and engender greater hope in family therapy. Three individuals who presented for therapeutic services at the Utah State University marriage and family therapy clinic participated in the study. Eight therapy sessions were conducted. Each session was videorecorded and coded with an intervention checklist. The Outcome Questionnaire 45.2, Personal and Family Information Form, case notes, teammate/supervisory observation notes, personal reflection journal, DVD reflection journal, homework assignments, and a hope scaling question were used to assess hope as well as the therapist's decision-making process. The results of this study suggest that the therapist applied and integrated interventions consistent with hope theory during the course of therapy, which appeared to be beneficial to clients. The decision-making process of the therapist and the effects of the integration and utilization of hope theory upon the therapist were revealed. Other findings, implications, and limitations are discussed.

Sistaårsstudenter som lämnar högskola/universitet och ska ut i arbetslivet ställs inför tuffa utmaningar. Syftet med studien var att undersöka beteendevetenskapliga sistaårsstudenters förväntningar inför arbetslivet och deras möjligheter att använda kunskapen från utbildningen i praktiken. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med 10 sistaårsstudenter inom beteendevetenskap på ett svenskt lärosäte. Intervjuerna tematiserades och 5 teman framkom varav 3 teman beskrev förväntningarna på arbetslivet och 2 teman beskrev vad studenterna tar med för kunskap ut i arbetslivet. Tidigare forskning visade att studenter känner ångest angående den osäkra arbetsmarknaden och sin anställningsbarhet. Resultatet från vår studie visade att deltagarna kände oro inför framtiden och vad som väntar dem efter examen. Beteendevetarna var i huvudsak oroliga för att inte få arbete efter avslutade studier. Resultatet visade även att deltagarna kommer ta med sig personlig utveckling och ett nytt tankesätt från sina utbildningar. Studien kan bidra med en större förståelse för lärare och lärosäten om utvecklingsmöjligheter för beteendevetenskapliga kurser och program.

School science and mathematics have been criticized for being difficult, de-contextualised and teacher-centred. This thesis concerns student motivation in science and mathematics in secondary school, and in particular student motivation in relation to student-teacher-scientist partnerships (STSPs) and an authentic science task called the Medicine Hunt where students help scientists to find new antibiotics. The purpose of this dissertation is to interrogate the importance of authentic tasks for motivation in the science classroom. The thesis takes a starting point in motivation theories, with self-determination theory (SDT) in focus, and also builds on the hierarchical model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (HMIEM). A mixed-methods approach is used first, to find out what factors are important for students’ positive emotions and experiences in the classroom, and second, to learn more about the importance of authentic tasks using student interviews and observations in combination with questionnaires that evaluate students’ motivation. The studies reveal that the notion of having learnt something and intrinsic motivation are central for students’ positive emotions. Further, many situational factors, such as teacher support, autonomy, clear goals, and novelty of the task are central for both positive emotions and experiences in science and mathematics. Regarding the Medicine Hunt, students were positive and referred most of their positive experiences to science-related aspects, and the novelty of authentic science. Teachers gave different opportunities for competence, autonomy or relatedness when implementing the project in their classrooms, and these differences were more important for students’ initiatives and outcomes than students’ initial contextual motivation for school science. Students’ contextual motivation for science can change and the Medicine Hunt arrested the well-documented decline in students’ intrinsic motivation for science during the secondary school years. This thesis argues that authentic tasks implemented as STSPs such as the Medicine Hunt can contribute considerably to school science by providing motivating situations that channel students’ positive emotions and positive experiences, and that is possible to create authentic science learning situations in which both more and less motivated students can flourish. The findings highlight the teachers’ role in supporting the students’ process of extending their understanding of what science can include and in supporting students’ confidence as they adopt a broader and more authentic view of science when learning as part of a successful authentic STSP science project. The findings also suggest that more research focussing on motivation in different authentic situations, and how students’ experiences of authentic science can affect motivation in the longer term, is needed. / Lärandesituationens påverkan på elevers affektiva upplevelser och lärande

Archaeology is a popular subject that is often depicted in popular media. Archaeology is also an academic field that contributes to national and individual identities. Therefor archaeologists conducting research need to be aware of the political and ethical implications their work may have. This essay presents and discuss previous research done about archaeologists and their communication efforts. Moreover, the essay also presents scientist communication goals and tries to discuss it in relation to Uppsala University’s and the department of Archaeology and Ancient History goals and guidelines. The discussion is based largely on a survey made by the author. Questions discussed are: who should write about archaeology? Would a better communication create a more “correct” use of history? Who has the right to write about archaeology? Is Uppsala University’s goals in line with how the scientist perceive and conduct their communication mission? The essay is based on previous research and a survey conducted by the author. The survey was sent to eight archaeology professors active at Campus Gotland, Uppsala university. Five responded to the survey. The method used in the essay is comparative literature analysis. The result of the survey is discussed in relation to Uppsala university and departments goals. The essay shows that archaeologists need more time to be able to conduct their communication goals more efficient and at a higher volume than present. The essay also states that archaeologists often have other work-related priorities than communication with the adjacent society.

Denna studie undersökte användandet av en fiktiv maskotkaraktär som verktyg för destinationsutveckling. Arbetet utgick från ett samarbete med Platåbergens Geopark, i syfte att förenkla förmedlingen av en bredd av ämnen och platser till en helhetsbild, speciellt målgruppen barn. Grundläggande teori för arbetet är termerna fokalisering (Genette 1980) och pedagogiska agenter (Haake 2009) samt studier av fiktion och stereotyper. För att utvärdera maskotkaraktären och lämpliga attribut utfördes fem gruppintervjuer med observation där deltagare diskuterade bilder; föreställande maskotkaraktären och attribut menade att representera karaktärsrollen och Platåbergens Geopark.  Resultatet påvisar att en majoritet av utvalda attribut (både från karaktärsdesignen och separata bilder) förstärkte maskotkaraktärens syften. Dess pedagogiska roll stärktes av fakta-fokuserade attribut och kroppsspråket som tolkades vänligt. Fokaliseringen blev tydligare då klädseln och bilder föreställande verktyg var anpassade till aktiviteter som kan kopplas till geologer, geologi eller Platåbergens Geopark. Fokaliseringen påvisade en tendens att vara starkare för de utan tidigare kunskap om geoparken.

Comercial movies are instruments that enable the sociocultural formation of the students, from which it is possible to develop the habit of watching movies, contextualize programmatic content, promote discussions about a given subject, among others. Thinking about possibilities of discussing a movie in class, we chose a classic of the cinema, Frankenstein, which presents different adaptations from the novel to cine and other medias. To choose the displayed movies in class, we stablished criteria like: rating, main plot of the experiment performed by Frankenstein, similarly with the romance written by Mary Shelley. After analyzing the movies, ―Frankenstein‖ (1931) and ―Frankenstein de Mary Shelley‖ (1994) were selected and taken to class. Both movies were watched by the students of a high school full-time students. Afterwards, the students wrote in a sheet of paper the scenes of direct relation with Science. After a week, we had groups for discussion groups to identify the way the students had noticed the same aspects described in the paper. We analyzed the students writing by the method Analise do Discurso according to Orlandi (2012). While in the speech analysis, the same highlighted elements were identified after the analysis of the films, such as: the film; the creature; intertextuality; the role of the woman; historical context; science, scientist and experiment. In the analysis we seek, through Vygostky, to identify the students' perception about each of the topics covered. The students brought different concerns and observations during the discussions. Frankenstein was considered the main scientist, being criticized and considered by some as guilty, for all that happened to him, while others looked for the explanation for his acts in Science. He was described as an inventor, madman or simply an enthusiast. His psychological characteristics were not forgotten, called selfish over and over again for having abandoned his creation. Reality and fiction were confused, just as Science was misinterpreted as a process of intuition and luck. The naive and neutral view of Science was present, although there were those who disagreed with this image. We realized that it is possible to carry out wide classroom discussions about the production of scientific knowledge, from films that have in their Science theme, as is the case with Frankenstein. We believe that to produce scientific knowledge is to know how to listen and to recognize the potential of each student present in a classroom, after all, each human being is unique, has its experiences and its stories and, from that, they construct their perceptions, including those of Science and scientists / O cinema pode ser considerado uma forma de expressão que tem sido reconhecido como uma fonte de investigação no ambiente escolar. Os filmes comerciais são instrumentos que possibilitam a formação sociocultural dos estudantes, pois a partir deles pode-se desenvolver o hábito de ver filmes, contextualizar conteúdos programáticos, promover discussões sobre determinado tema, entre outros. Pensando na possibilidade de discutir filmes em sala de aula, escolhemos um clássico, Frankenstein, que apresenta diferentes adaptações do romance para cinema. Para a escolha dos filmes exibidos em sala de aula, estabelecemos critérios como: classificação indicativa; como enredo principal o experimento realizado por Frankenstein; semelhança com o romance escrito por Mary Shelley. Após a etapa de análise dos filmes, ―Frankenstein‖ (1931) e ―Frankenstein de Mary Shelley‖ (1994) foram selecionados e levados para sala de aula. Ambos foram assistidos pelos estudantes que deveriam observar as relações sobre Ciência e cientistas. Logo após a exibição, os estudantes escreveram em uma folha as cenas que acreditavam ter relação direta com a Ciência. Na semana seguinte, realizamos grupos de discussão para identificarmos a forma como os estudantes haviam percebido os aspectos descritos nas folhas. Para analisar a escrita dos estudantes, utilizamos como metodologia a Análise do Discurso segundo Orlandi (2012). Enquanto na análise das falas foram identificados os mesmos elementos destacados previamente, como: o filme; a criatura; intertextualidade; o papel da mulher; contexto histórico; ciência, cientista e experimento. Nas análises, buscamos identificar a percepção dos estudantes sobre cada um dos temas abordados. Os estudantes trouxeram diferentes inquietações e observações durante as discussões. Frankenstein foi identificado como o cientista principal, sendo criticado e considerado, por alguns, como culpado, por tudo que lhe aconteceu, enquanto outros buscaram na Ciência a explicação para seus atos. Ele foi descrito como um inventor, louco ou simplesmente um entusiasta. Suas características psicológicas não foram esquecidas, sendo chamado de egoísta inúmeras vezes por ter abandonado sua criação. Realidade e ficção foram confundidas, assim como a Ciência foi interpretada de maneiras equivocadas, entendida como um processo de intuição e de sorte. A visão ingênua e neutra da Ciência esteve presente, apesar de ter aqueles que discordavam dessa imagem. Percebemos que é possível realizar amplas discussões em sala de aula sobre a produção do conhecimento científico, a partir de filmes que tenham em sua temática Ciência, como Frankenstein. Acreditamos que produzir conhecimento científico é saber ouvir e reconhecer o potencial de cada estudante presente em uma sala de aula, afinal, cada ser humano é único, possui suas vivências e suas histórias, e é a partir disso que constroem suas percepções, incluindo as de Ciência e cientistas.

Der Sammelband umfasst die Beiträge des 10. Arbeitstreffens slavistischer Nachwuchswissenschaftler im Rahmen des Jungen Forums Slavistischer Literaturwissenschaft (JFSL), das vom 26. bis zum 28. März 2010 an der Universität Trier stattfand. Präsentiert wird ein Überblick über aktuelle Forschungsrichtungen und -themen der deutschsprachigen Slavistik, der trotz der weiter bestehenden Dominanz der Russistik eine zunehmende Tendenz zu Studien über verschiedene slavische Literaturen zeigt. Die Beiträge lassen sich in drei große Bereiche differenzieren: Der erste Teil ,Texturen' beinhaltet literaturwissenschaftliche Studien, die sich mit den textimannenten Effekten literarischer Werke auseinandersetzen. Der Text als Gewebe wird auf seine Fadendichte und -verkreuzung wie Entstehung und Tradierung bestimmter Motive und Topoi, Decodierung intertextueller Referenzen oder Allegorisierungs- und Symbolisierungprozesse hin analysiert. Der zweite Teil vereinigt unter dem Begriff ,Identitäten' Arbeiten aus dem Bereich der kulturwissenschaftlich orientierten Literaturwissenschaft, die mit Geschlechter-, Raum-, Erinnerungs- und postkolonialen Konzepten den Fragen der literarischen Identitätsgenese nachgehen. Untersucht werden ästhetische Umsetzungen von Machtdispositiven, Hierarchiebildungen und Ausschlussmechanismen. Die Beiträge des dritten Teils ,Theorien' reflektieren entweder die Literaturforschung und ihre Ästhetiktheorien oder unternehmen einen Theorieimport aus verschiedenen Disziplinen wie Philosophie, strukturalistische Psychoanalyse, Neuro-, Geschichts- oder Translationswissenschaften, die sich für die Analyse literarischer Texte als fruchtbar erweisen und damit das Literaturverständnis erweitern. / This collection covers the articles compiled in the 10th workshop of Slavonic Study PhD-Students and postgraduates within the framework of the ‘Young Forum of Slavonic Literary Studies’ (JFSL) which took place at Trier University between March 26 and March 28 2010. Participants presented an overview of the current fields of research in German language Slavonic studies, which, despite a prevalence of Russian Studies, shows a growing trend towards multi-Slavonic literature studies. The articles can be divided into three different categories: The first category, textures, comprises literary studies which expose anticipated text effects of literary works. Text is analyzed in the context of its fabric density, for instance, development of particular motives and topics, and the decoding of intertextual references or allegories and symbology. The second category, identities, aggregates works from culturally-oriented Literary studies, which follow questions of the literary genesis of identity concerning gender, space, memory and post-colonialism. Here, the aesthetic shifts of power disposition, demonstrative hierarchy and the mechanisms of exclusion are evaluated. The third category, theories, reflects literary research and its theories of the aesthetic or importation of theory from a variety of disciplines such as philosophy, structural psychoanalysis, neuroscience, history and translation studies, which show themselves as fertile literary texts for analysis and as such may extend our understandings of literature.

Tyrimo tikslas - identifikuoti mokslininkų bendruomenei būdingas kūrybinio darbo sąlygas bei atskleisti jų sąsajas su subjektyvia mokslininkų sveikata. Siekiant įgyvendinti tyrimo tikslą buvo remiamasi trianguliacijos principu ir renkami empiriniai duomenys tiek kiekybinio, tiek kokybinio tyrimo būdu. Pilotinio tyrimo metu buvo atlikti 6 interviu su skirtingose studijų kryptyse dirbančiais mokslininkais, kurių pagrindu buvo identifikuoti su kūrybiniu darbu susiję darbo sąlygų komponentai ir sukonstruotas kiekybinio tyrimo instrumentas. Tuo tarpu kiekybinis platesnės apimties tyrimas sudarė sąlygas atskleisti 272 Lietuvoje dirbančių mokslininkų nuomones apie jų mokslinio darbo sąlygas bei subjektyvią sveikatą. Empiriniai duomenys parodė, kad mokslininkų darbui būdingos specifinės kūrybinio darbo sąlygos, kurios leidžia kalbėti ir apie šios darbo srities sąlygojamą poveikį mokslininkų sveikatai. Tyrimo dalyvių nuomone, mokslinė veikla - tai nuolatinio kūrybinio proceso (95,6%), intensyvaus mąstymo (95,6%) ir dėmesio koncentravimo ties skirtingomis darbinėmis užduotimis (78,7%) reikalaujantis darbas. Mokslininkų darbo specifika susijusi su lanksčiomis, aiškiai neapibrėžtomis darbinėmis užduotimis, mobilia darbo aplinka, bendradarbiavimu paremtais santykiais mikro lygmenyje, konkurencingais santykiais už bendradarbių kolektyvo ribų, lanksčiu darbo laiko rėžimu bei asmeninio gyvenimo ir darbo derinimo charakteristikomis. Atsižvelgus į išskirtus darbo sąlygų indikatorius...

In order to implement the objective of this study was used the triangulation principle and the empirical data were collected both by quantitative and qualitative research methods. In pilot study were carried out six interviews with informants from different study areas of science, which led to identify the creative work-related working conditions. Based on revealed components were designed quantitative research instrument. Meanwhile, the broader quantitative study made possible to reveal opinions of 272 Lithuanian scientist’s about their scientific work conditions and subjective health. Empirical data shows that researchers work in specific creative work conditions, which enable to talk about features of scientist’s subjective health in the context of creative work. On the basis of the survey participants opinion, the scientific activities are defined as work, which require constant creative process (95,6%), intensive thinking (95,6%) and the concentration of attention on different working tasks (78,7%). The specifics of scientists creative work associated with flexible, clearly uncertain working tasks, mobile work environment, collaborative relationships at micro level, competitive relationships outside close scientists group, flexible working time schedule and the characteristics of personal - professional...

A pesquisa foi orientada pelas teorias dos Estudos Feministas da Ciência e Estudos de Gênero, bem como utilizou alguns conceitos de Michel Foucault. Neste estudo, tomo a ciência e o gênero como construções sociais, culturais, históricas e discursivas em meio a relações de poder/saber. Esta tese ancora-se metodologicamente na investigação narrativa a partir dos pressupostos de Jorge Larrosa e de Michel Connelly e Jean Clandinin. Orientada por esses autores, entendo a narrativa tanto como uma metodologia investigativa como uma prática social que constitui os sujeitos. Para compor meu corpus de pesquisa optei pela realização de entrevistas narrativas produzidas com seis mulheres cientistas atuantes em universidades públicas e numa instituição de pesquisa do Rio Grande do Sul, sendo uma da área da Farmácia, duas de Ciências Biológicas, duas da Física e a outra da Engenharia de Computação. Desse modo, busquei conhecer a trajetória acadêmica e profissional dessas mulheres, as motivações para a escolha da profissão, as dificuldades vivenciadas na profissão, como elas percebiam a participação das mulheres na ciência, entre outros aspectos. Para análise das narrativas estabeleci conexões com a análise do discurso na linha de Michel Foucault. Ao analisar as narrativas, percebi a emergência do discurso biológico utilizado como justificativa para explicar a feminização e a masculinização de determinadas áreas do conhecimento, bem como para justificar o entendimento de que as mulheres fazem ciência de “maneira diferente” dos homens. Esses entendimentos estão relacionados ao pressuposto de que é o sexo – o fator biológico – que determina as características e funções sociais diferenciadas entre mulheres e homens. Este estudo possibilitou-me perceber também que a escolha profissional das entrevistadas foi influenciada por diferentes processos discursivos e práticas sociais, ora de identificação, ora de confronto, com pessoas da família, com antigos(as) professores(as), nas experiências escolares, na interação com determinados artefatos culturais, tais como brinquedos e brincadeiras. A análise das narrativas me mostrou as diferentes facetas do preconceito de gênero que perpassa as práticas sociais. Sobre essa questão emergiram a negação do preconceito, o reconhecimento de “brincadeiras” sexistas que não são percebidas como preconceito e situações explícitas de preconceito de gênero. Outro aspecto evidenciado refere-se à necessidade de conciliar as exigências da vida profissional com as responsabilidades familiares, que implicou em jornadas parciais de trabalho, no adiamento ou recusa da maternidade. Analisar as narrativas produzidas pelas entrevistadas me possibilitou compreender que a trajetória delas na ciência foi e é construída em um ambiente baseado em valores e padrões masculinos que restringem, dificultam e direcionam a participação das mulheres na ciência. Ao analisar as trajetórias dessas mulheres na ciência, percebi que elas foram de alguma forma levadas a se adaptar ao “modelo masculino” de pensar e fazer ciência, não apenas para serem consideradas cientistas, mas também para serem bem-sucedidas na profissão. / In this thesis I investigate the inclusion and participation of women in the field of modern science seeking to question some of the discourses and social practices involved in the formation of scientist women. The research was guided by the theories of Feminist Science Studies and Gender Studies, and used some concepts from Michel Foucault. In this study, I take science and gender as social, cultural, historical and discursive constructions among power/knowledge relations. This thesis is methodologically anchored in the narrative investigation from the assumptions of Jorge Larrosa and of Michel Connelly and Jean Clandinin. Guided by these authors, I consider the narrative as both an investigative methodology as a social practice that constitutes subjects. To compose my research corpus I opted for narrative interviews produced by six scientist women working in public universities and in a research institution in Rio Grande do Sul – one in the Pharmacy field, two in Biological Sciences, two in Physics and two others in Computer Engineering. Therefore, I sought to know the academic and professional history of these women, the motivation for choosing the profession, the difficulties experienced in the profession, how they perceived the participation of women in science, among others. For narrative analysis I established connections with the analysis of discourse according to Michel Foucault. When analyzing these narratives, I noticed the emergence of biological discourse used as justification to explain the feminization and masculinization of certain areas of knowledge, as well as to justify the view that women do science “differently” from men. These understandings are related to the assumption that it is sex – the biological factor – that determines the characteristics and different social functions between women and men. This study also enabled to realize that the career choice of interviewees was influenced by different discursive processes and social practices, sometimes of identification, sometimes confrontational, with family, with older teachers, in school experiences, in the interaction with certain cultural artifacts such as toys and games. The analysis of the narratives showed the different faces of gender bias that permeates social practices. On this issue emerged the denial of bias, the recognition of sexist "jokes" that are not defined as bias and situations perceived as explicit gender bias. Another aspect shown refers to the need to reconcile the demands of career and family responsibilities, which resulted in partial daily work, and the postponement or refusal of motherhood. Analyzing the narratives produced by interviewees allowed me to understand that their path in science was and is built in an environment based on male values and standards that restrict, impede and direct participation of women in science. By analyzing the history of these women in science, I realized that they were somehow made to fit the "male model" of thinking and doing science, not only to be considered scientists, but also to be successful in the profession.
