Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This feature article applies the concepts of ‘make-believe’ and ‘make-belief’ formulated by performance theorist, Richard Schechner, in a study of two role-play communities, Midian City and Gor in the online 3D environment Second Life. With make-believe fantasy role-play at their core, members of the two communities negotiate the social and political norms, the goals of the com- munity and as well as the boundaries of the virtual role-play. The article explores the innovative forms of interaction at play in these negotiation processes, using (cyber)ethnographic methods and the analysis of various textual sources, Goffman’s theories of social performance as well as various types of performance discussed by Schechner and Auslander. The innovative forms of interaction are analysed in the light of the new technology and as performances and make-belief strategies directed towards realizing performative utopias, towards influencing the direction in which leaders and residents of this digital context want the role-play to develop, and towards shaping the emer- gent social and cultural rules and the political framework of the role-play.

Change blindness when viewing web pages
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Work. - San Francisco : CRC Press. - 1051-9815 .- 1875-9270. ; 41:Suppl 1, s. 6098-6102, s. 23-32

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Change blindness on web pages was studied for 20 participants. The purpose was to find how change blindness appears for web pages, and which changes are easier to detect. The task was to detect if a change had occurred and to show this by the means of the cursor. Rensink´s flicker paradigm was used, where four categories of changes were presented. It was easier to detect a change not consisting of a person than one with a person. It was easier to detect a change to the left than to the right. The complexity of the web pages did not appear to have an effect, while large changes were easier to detect than small. The results may indicate that focused attention is differently sensitive for different kinds of changes. They also show that change blindness is a general phenomenon that can be applied to the perception of web pages.

The shift from Geopolitics to Geoeconomics and the failure of our modern Social Sciences
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Geoeconomics is gradually replacing the importance of Geopolitics. The transition is marked by the start of the process we call Globalization , about two decades old now, but still in its infancy, when government and government institutions discovered that they no longer were self-evident key actors and watchmen of world events . The process is an effect of the end of the Cold War and marks a strategic shift from political ideologies to economic realities.For decades fellow economists have praised the value of public and private borrowing, the production of services at the expense of the production of goods and they have underestimated the importance of trade surpluses for the Competitive Advantage of Nations. They have done so because they have failed to see what makes a nation, a region or a city wealthy in the long run. We have developed a social science paradigm at our universities which have undermined our own development. At the same time we have disregarded much of the tradition for critical thinking, as implied in Critical Theory but more fundamentally as understood for centuriesThe study of all living organisms is now studied with the use of Evolutionary Theory; except for the study of Man. We must start to ask ourselves why. Why should the Social Sciences be any different than Zoology in this respect, unless we say that Man stands outside of biology?

Approaching the Relative Estimation Concept with Planning Poker

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Simulation is a powerful instrument in the education process that can help students experience a reality context and understand complex concepts required to accomplish practitioners’ tasks. The present study aims to investigate the software engineering students’ perception about the usefulness of the Planning Poker technique in relation to their understanding of the relative estimation concept. We conducted a simulation exercise where students first estimated tasks applying the concepts of relative estimation based on the concepts explained in the lecture, and then to estimate tasks applying the Agile Planning Poker technique. To investigate the students’ perception, we used a survey at the end of each exercise. The preliminary results did not show statistical significance on the students’ confidence to estimate relatively the user stories. However, from the students’ comments and feedback, there are indications that students are more confident in using Agile Planning Poker when they are asked to estimate user stories. The study will be replicated in the near future to a different group of students with a different background, to have a better understanding and also identify possible flaws of the exercise.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study demonstrates the suitability of the interactive research approach. When the academy interacted with practitioners common knowledge was created. A core result of the article is the development of a model for sustainable learning. In the centre is a learning process for the integration of theory and practice.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Different research traditions describe the implied rather than acknowledged dispute between individual agency and collective activity. The ability of an individual to take action has a positive effect on the functioning of a social system. Initiative is a praised self-controlled quality and inter-subjective relations between people and reactions to another person’s input are crucial for the main activity. I this chapter I draw on experiences of digital software deployed for facilitating teaching and learning.

Pedagogik, undervisning och lärande
- 2012
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här är en bok som handlar om pedagogik och lärande. Den handlar också om etik, demokrati och civilkurage. Boken innehåller konkreta exempel som bygger på författarens livslånga lärargärning. Varje kapitel bidrar till ett provokativt utforskande av arbets-, lärande- och livsvillkoren för undervisare såväl som för andra människor. Bokens centrala frågeställning utgår från en klassisk problematik kring arbete, lärande och utveckling: På vilket sätt uppstår förutsättningar för lärande, hur hanterar människan sin kunskapsutveckling och vilka är de produktiva miljöerna på nätet, arbetet och skolan?
