2. 1. Exploring and modeling response process data from PISA : inferences related to motivation and problem-solving

   Author : Erik Lundgren; Hanna Eklöf; Inga Laukaityte; Per-Erik Lyrén; Samuel Greiff; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; response processes; large-scale assessments; motivation; problem-solving; computational modeling; Bayesian modeling; didactics of educational measurement; beteendevetenskapliga mätningar;

   Abstract : This thesis explores and models response process data from large-scale assessments, focusing on test-taking motivation, problem-solving strategies, and questionnaire response validity. It consists of four studies, all using data from PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) data. READ MORE

   Abstract : This thesis is focused on applying modification chemistry to already known cellulosic substrates from wood (i.e. cellulose nanofibrils, CNFs, and cellulose nanocrystals, CNCs). READ MORE

5. 3. Defining Integrated Science Education and Putting It to Test

   Author : Maria Åström; Karl-Göran Karlsson; Lars Ove Dahlgren; Ulf P. Lundgren; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Science education; international studies; PISA; curriculum integration; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik; didactics of natural science;

   Abstract : The thesis is made up by four studies, on the comprehensive theme of integrated and subjectspecific science education in Swedish compulsory school. A literature study on the matter is followed by an expert survey, then a case study and ending with two analyses of students’ science results from PISA 2003 and PISA 2006. READ MORE

6. 4. Design of Functional Polymeric Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

   Author : Heba Asem; Eva Malmström; Tim Bowden; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biodegradable polymers; SPION; PISA; RAFT; nanoparticles; drug delivery; cytotoxicity; MRI; in vivo fluorescence imaging; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Most of the devastating diseases such as cancer are relatively incurable and have high risks of relapse. Therefore, persistent endeavors have been devoted to improve patient survival rate and quality of life. READ MORE

7. 5. Statistical modeling in international large-scale assessments

   Author : Inga Laukaityte; Marie Wiberg; Kenny Bränberg; Ewa Rolfsman; Bernard Veldkamp; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multilevel model; plausible values; sampling weights; missing information; multiple imputation; non-monotone missing pattern; TIMSS; PISA; Statistics; statistik; pedagogik; Education;

   Abstract : This thesis contributes to the area of research based on large-scale educational assessments, focusing on the application of multilevel models. The role of sampling weights, plausible values (response variable imputed multiple times) and imputation methods are demonstrated by simulations and applications to TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) and PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) data.
