Att undervisa i hållbar utveckling - Relationellt perspektiv
- 2022
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hur kan lärare arbeta med hållbar utveckling i en tid då globala kriser och klimatförändringar väcker både rädsla och oro? Och hur kan elever samtidigt känna hopp inför sin framtid och sitt vuxna liv? Dessa frågor är utgångspunkt för det utvecklings- och forskningsprojekt som utgör basen i denna bok. Du får följa med i berättelser som lärare och elever skapat tillsammans för att utveckla kunskap om social, ekologisk och ekonomisk hållbarhet. Boken redogör för de pedagogiska utgångspunkterna, men ger också rikligt med praktiska exempel på metoder och former för undervisning i och genom demokratiska och relationella förhållningssätt. Du får konkreta tips på hur du kan integrera hållbar utveckling i undervisningen. Såväl kritiska aspekter som lärdomar och möjligheter lyfts fram. I centrum står eleven och läraren utifrån det relationspedagogiska perspektivet. Att undervisa i hållbar utveckling: Relationellt perspektiv vänder sig till lärarstudenter och verksamma lärare i årskurs F-6. Bokens syfte är att inspirera, stödja och utgöra diskussionsunderlag i skolans arbete med miljöperspektivet och hållbar utveckling.

Flykting- och anhöriginvandrades etablering på den svenska arbetsmarknaden, IFAU Rapport 2017:14
- 2017
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vi beskriver arbetsmarknadsetablering och integration i Sverige på kort och lång sikt för invandrare från länder utanför västvärlden. Analysen omfattar huvudsakligen flykting- och anhöriginvandring under perioden 1990–2014. Mönstren för första kontakter med och etablering på arbetsmarknaden varierar med konjunkturläget, ursprungsland och med andra bakgrundsfaktorer. Men det huvudsakliga budskapet är att inträdesprocessen är långsam och att sysselsättning och inkomster av arbete även på lång sikt är lägre för invandrade relativt genomsnittet i arbetskraften i stort. Mönstren är på sikt påtagligt stabila för personer som kommit under olika tidsperioder och förutsättningar. Antalet jobb före det ”första riktiga” arbetsmarknadsinträdet är begränsat, och den första arbetsgivarkontakten är för många en väg till en mer stabil anställning. De första jobben återfinns jämförelsevis ofta i små låglöneföretag, som över tid koncentrerats mer till tjänstesektorn. Vi diskuterar också tänkbara effekter av olika politiska reformer och insatser.

From Here to Sustainability – Is the Lisbon/Göteborg agenda delivering?
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Executive Summary The European Councils held in Lisbon (2000) and in Göteborg (2001) gave the Union a new direction by establishing a long term strategy with sustainable development as the overarching objective. Sustainable development means, in this context, goals for economic, social and environmental policy, which are both mutually consistent and capable of delivering enhanced economic growth. To assure progress towards an agreed range of targets, the open method of coordination (OMC) has been adopted as the process for the implementation of the strategy. The strategy for sustainable development is a long-term one and, although the deadline originally set for the Lisbon agenda was 2010, it is clear that sustainable development has a much longer time-horizon and also that there is a global dimension to sustainable development, not just an EU one. In the run up to the mid-term review of the Lisbon strategy, this report by the European Panel for Sustainable Development, EPSD, offers an assessment of the EU approach to sustainable development. The report is based on official documents, research reports and background reports prepared by researchers from different disciplines. It concentrates on the EU-15 Member States, because the ten new members that acceded to the EU in May 2004 have not (yet!) been subject to the same commitments in relation to sustainable development. However, in future work by the EPSD, it is anticipated that the coverage will be extended to embrace all 25 Member States. The report starts with a discussion on the political process, followed by an examination of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of the strategy, of the potential of new technologies, and of the results delivered by the Member States. The final chapters include discussions on impact assessment and the global dimension of sustainable development. The focus of the report is on: − The integration of the three dimensions of sustai nable development and the policies that affect them into one coherent strategy − The implementation of the strategy through the open method of co-ordination The main messages of the report are that it is vital to: • Maintain the original commitment to sustainable development as the overarching objective of the Lisbon strategy and improve the co-ordination between the three pillars of the strategy: the economic, social and environmental dimensions [...]

The odor perception of key degradation products of polyamide 6.6
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Fechner Day 2009. - Galway, Irland : International Society for Psychophysics. ; , s. 335-340
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Psychophysical research on indoor air has not focused on the odor of degradation products of polymers in building materials, e.g. the polymer Polyamide 6.6. Three of its odorous degradation products, cyclopentanone, pentanoic acid, and 2-methyl-pyridine, were measured in the form of single chemical compounds and their four mixtures. The results from 15 participants’ scaling of perceived odor similarity and ranking of odor preference showed that the cyclopentanone odor is masked by the other odor(s) of its mixtures. A new odor quality was formed when pentanoic acid and 2-methyl-pyridine were mixed. The three chemical compounds, thus, provided for four unique odor qualities, as revealed in a PCA. Moreover, the odor intensity ranks confirmed intermediacy of odor mixtures relative to these same four unique odor qualities. Our results confirm the importance of degradation products of polyamide 6.6 as contributors to indoor air quality.

What and How Students Perceive They Learn When Doing Mini-Companies in Upper Secondary School
- 2017
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this study is to gain more in-depth knowledge into what Swedish upper secondary school students perceive they learn, and the factors that students perceive affect learning, when they start and run mini-companies within the Junior Achievement Company Program. The data is comprised of interviews with eleven students each of whom ran a mini-company with other students. Situated learning theory, experiential learning theory and theoretical concepts on reflection in learning were used to analyze and further understand the data.The results reveal that the students talk about, and appear to convey, equal importance upon learning general skills as learning business skills when doing their mini-companies. Students describe using general skills they improved while running their mini-companies in other school activities and non-school activities leading to better performance in these activities. Doing business activities triggers learning and provides students with an opportunity to further develop, and learn multiple aspects, of skills.Students identify many factors, such as time, autonomy, assessment, and deadlines, which they associate with their mini-companies. On the whole, they say these factors have a positive effect on learning both business and general skills, however some factors can also inhibit learning. An analysis of all the factors students identified reveals that they originate, or are influenced by, multiple contexts such as school, the Swedish Junior Achievement organization, and the business environment. Together these factors can be said to create a special school community of practice for their mini-company project. Students point out significant differences between their mini-company project, and other school projects they have previously done, thus providing valuable insight into the importance of project design in relation to learning skills and possible pedagogical implications regarding learning general skills in other school projects.

Conditions for Technology Enhanced Learning and Educational Change : a case study of a 1:1 initiative
- 2015
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The uptake and use of digital technologies continues to increase in schools throughout the world. In many schools the uptake and use of digital technologies takes place in One-to-One (1:1) initiatives in which teachers and students have their own laptops. In this thesis the uptake and use of digital technologies is studied from the student, teacher and school leader perspectives in order to through this gain knowledge regarding the conditions for Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) and educational change in K-12 schools. In the Unos Umeå research project the uptake and use of digital technologies in two schools, an upper secondary school and a compulsory school, was studied. A research design involving a case study approach (Yin, 2003, 2009) was used to study a 1:1 initiative. The methods of data collection were surveys, interviews and classroom observations. To explore, identify and describe conditions for TEL and educational change the data collected were used to map the initial expectations regarding the uptake and use of digital technologies from the start of the initiative as well as to follow the development of teaching and learning activities related to the uptake and use of digital technologies in the 1:1 classroom over a period of two years. The Ecology of Resources Model (Luckin, 2010) was used as a theoretical framework including the use of the concept of filters. Regarding the conditions for TEL, the results show that the uptake and use of digital technologies provides possibilities for new forms of teaching and learning in the 1:1 classroom. Students reported increased motivation, engagement and variation in schoolwork. Teachers described new forms of teaching as well as possibilities for collaboration, sharing of materials and continued professional development. For school leaders possibilities were found in collaboration, administrative support and follow-up of students and teachers, creating a unified vision of the work with digital technologies, and collaboration and sharing within the schools as an ecology of resources. The challenges seen from the student, teacher and school leader perspectives were related to use, technical support and optionality. If the possibilities are to be achieved, there is a need for continued professional development for teachers and school leaders. Further, clear directives through policy will be of importance. In the short term, the practical implications of the uptake and use of digital technologies, specifically in 1:1 initiatives, seem to be strongly connected to sustainability in schools. In the long term, if sustainable conditions for TEL and educational change in the 1:1 classroom can be created and upheld, the practical implications may for example be teachers’ improved skills to integrate a thought-through student use of laptops in their teaching practices and an increase in equality of digital competence between students, between schools and between classrooms in the same school.
