2. 1. Analogical reasoning in science education : - connections to semantics and scientific modelling in thermodynamics

   Author : Jesper Haglund; Helge Strömdahl; Konrad Schönborn; Roland Kjellander; Kevin Dunbar; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; science education; thermodynamics; analogical reasoning; semantics; scientific modelling; naturvetenskapsdidaktik; termodynamik; analogiskt tänkande; semantik; vetenskaplig modellering;

   Abstract : Analogiskt tänkande är en central kognitiv förmåga som vi använder i vardagslivet, såväl som i mer formella sammanhang, såsom i forskning och undervisning. Föreliggande avhandling behandlar hur analogier och analogiskt tänkande, uppmärksamhet på semantik och förståelse för vetenskaplig modellering kan användas för att hantera utmaningar i naturvetenskapsundervisningen, särskilt inom området termodynamik.

   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematical modelling; Self-regulation; Engineering education; Beliefs; Case study; Authentic learning; Authenticity; Metacognition; Problem solving; Engineering education research;

   Abstract : Background Innovation and technology have made the 21st century engineering workplace problems more diverse and challenging. Mathematical modelling is being increasingly used as the primary form of engineering design and is fundamental in everyday engineering problem solving. READ MORE

5. 3. Efficiency in Education - A Multilevel Analysis

   Author : Staffan Waldo; Nationalekonomiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic systems; economic policy; Nationalekonomi; ekonometri; ekonomisk teori; ekonomiska system; ekonomisk politik; economic theory; econometrics; Data Envelopment Analysis; Economics; Education; Efficiency;

   Abstract : Sweden spends altogether about 4.5% of GDP on primary, secondary and upper secondary school. Considering the magnitude of this investment it is important that these resources are used efficiently. In this thesis efficiency in public education is analysed on three different levels: The municipal level, the school level, and the individual level. READ MORE

6. 4. Technology education and non-scientific technological knowledge

   Author : Per Norström; Sven Ove Hansson; Per Sandin; Inga-Britt Skogh; Ibo van de Poel; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; rule of thumb; technical knowledge; technological knowledge; technology education; epistemology of technology; design process; modelling;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of two essays and an introduction. The main theme is technological knowledge that is not based on the natural sciences.The first essay is about rules of thumb, which are simple instructions, used to guide actions toward a specific result, without need of advanced knowledge.
