2. 1. Simulated "real" worlds : Actions mediated through computer game play in science education

   Author : Elisabet M. Nilsson; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computer game play; science education; computer games; game-based learning; mediated action; empirical studies; Agent O; SimCity 4; computer game play science education computer games game-based learning; Agent O; empirical studies; SimCity 4; mediated action;

   Abstract : Over the last decade, a great variety of visionary ideas and beliefs have been brought forward, regarding the potentials of using computer games as a tool for learning and mediation in educational settings. This thesis aims at contributing to research in this field, by empirically exploring what happens when students play and reflect on their computer game play in science education. READ MORE

5. 3. Techniques to Cancel Execution Early to Improve Processor Efficiency

   Author : Mafijul Islam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; processor design; energy-efficiency; narrow-width cache; instruction reuse; zero-value cache; resource-efficient; narrow-width load; complexity-effective; small value locality; register file cache; frequent value locality; trivial instruction; silent load; high-performance; zero load;

   Abstract : The evolution of computer systems to continuously improve execution efficiency has traditionally embraced various approaches across microprocessor generations. Unfortunately, contemporary processors still suffer from several inefficiencies although they offer an unprecedented level of computing capabilities. READ MORE

6. 4. Measures that matter : Facilitating literacy through targeted instruction and assistive technology

   Author : Thomas Nordström; Idor Svensson; Stefan Gustafson; Rickard Carlsson; Dave Edyburn; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Targeted instruction; intervention; assistive technology; reading difficulties; Riktad undervisningsinsats; intervention; assisterande teknik; lässvårigheter; Psychology; Psykologi; Special Education; Specialpedagogik; Education; Pedagogik;

   Abstract : The acquisition of reading skills is one of the most important academic outcomes, as reading enables the individual to acquire knowledge and to actively take part in society. Despite research and educational progress, not all students develop their reading skills to a level that meet academic or societal demands. READ MORE

7. 5. Learning Chemistry at the University level : Student attitudes, motivation, and design of the learning environment

   Author : C. Anders R. Berg; Johan Lithner; Lisbeth Lundahl; Helge Strömdahl; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : laboratory work; open experiments; attitude; university level; motivation; cognitive load; laboratory instruction styles; attitude change; design of learning situation; student questions.;

   Abstract : The main purpose of the research this thesis is based upon was to study students’ attitudes towards learning chemistry at university level and their motivation from three perspectives. How can students’ attitudes towards learning chemistry be assessed? How can these attitudes be changed? How are learning situations experienced by students with different attitude positions? An attitude questionnaire, assessing views of knowledge, learning assessments, laboratory activities, and perceived roles of instructors and student, was used to estimate students’ attitude positions.
