Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vad kan ett analytiskt perspektiv på undervisning och lärande tillföra?Detta runda bord syftar till att presentera några exempel på pågående utbildningsvetenskaplig forskning vilken bedrivs inom ramen för Chalmers egen verksamhet. Genom att i korthet presentera de forskningsintressen och forskningsfrågor som vi arbetar med vill vi diskutera vad utbildningsvetenskaplig forskning kan tillföra Chalmers i stort.Projekten som presenteras handlar om grupparbeten i fysik, tillämpningar av webben i språklärande, studenters skrivande inom miljöteknik, samt argumentation inom bioteknik. En av de gemensamma nämnarna för våra projekt är studenters lärande.

- Usability testing with mobile applications (apps) plays an important role in determining the ease of use of an app as well as in informing their design and development. The purpose of this research is to investigate the usability of three language learning apps with a sample of Arabic speaking migrants who have recently arrived to Sweden. In addition, We surveyed available apps for the target group on both Android and Apple market stores and used a framework for categorizing language learning apps to guide the design and development of our own app. The outcomes show that in order for users to engage in an app, there are a number of obstacles that need to be overcome to make an app motivating enough to use, such as lack of variation in functionality, instructions and feedback. Our app, Minclusion, was developed from the input obtained from the usability studies.

Peer Reviewing Across the Atlantic Patterns and Trends in L1 and L2 Comments Made in an Asynchronous Online Collaborative Learning Exchange Between Technical Communication Students in Sweden and in the United States

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In a globally networked learning environment (GNLE), 16 students at a university in Sweden and 17 students at a university in the United States exchanged peer-review comments on drafts of assignments they prepared in English for their technical communication classes. The instructors of both sets of students had assigned the same projects and taught their courses in the same way that they had in the previous year, which contrasts with the common practice of having students in partnering courses work on the same assignment or on linked assignments created specifically for the GNLE. The authors coded the students' 816 comments according to their focus and orientation in order to investigate the possible differences between the comments made by the L2 students in Sweden and those made by the L1 (English as a second language) students in the United States, the possible impact of peer reviewing online, and the influence of the instructors' directions on the students' peer-reviewing behavior.

- Web based writing platforms allowing for exchanges across the world are increasingly being used in education. These recent forms of textual practice are highly related to conditions offered by the technology, allowing users, who previously were primarily consumers, to become producers of text. This chapter investigates student interaction over a blog in an intercultural student exchange between native speakers and nonnative speakers of English in higher education analysing and interpreting poetry. The groups of students involved in this study belong not only to different academic disciplines, but also differ in terms of nationality and language background. In the blog posts, the students’ cultural voices are heard, offering a meeting between very contrasting groups. Scrutinising the student postings, the threaded discussions show ways that students thematise content and meaning in the poems. The results show that there are a number of features at play in an intercultural environment where language and translation issues are prominent parts of the student discussions, offering extended perspectives to the students’ initial views. Collaborative efforts in such a diverse environment are important when negotiating meaning and extending students’ understanding of poetry.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Learning the language is crucial to be included in a new society. For migrants, the smartphone is a commonly used device for staying connected, which could also be used for language learning purposes. This research concerns mobile literacy with newly arrived Arabic speaking migrants to Sweden and the use of mobile learning as a means for integration. The purpose is to investigate how mobile technology can be designed to support migrants' language learning process. The research concerns technology development where versions of a mobile application (app) are explored from a bottom-up perspective with Arabic speaking migrants. A qualitative method approach is applied, built on design principles focusing on the construction of situated artefacts and evaluation of performance. The results show that intuitive design and engaging content with connections to everyday social situations play important parts in sustaining motivation to engage with an app.
