2. 1. Designing for added pedagogical value : A design-based research study of teachers’ educational design with ICT

   Author : Jörgen Holmberg; Uno Fors; Göran Fransson; Jo Tondeur; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; added pedagogical value; design-based research; design framework; educational design; educational design research; EFL; ICT; teacher practice; TPACK; Information Society; informationssamhället; Innovative Learning;

   Abstract : In an increasingly digitized world teachers are expected to take on the role of educational designers and use ICT to design in ways that add pedagogical value to teaching and learning. This thesis adopts a design-based research (DBR) approach to: (a) explore and contribute to the educational design processes of teachers of English as a foreign language in their efforts to use ICT for added pedagogical value, (b) examine how ICT is used in educational designs to create/contribute to what the teachers and students describe as added value and (c) explore, problematize and refine DBR as a research approach.

4. 2. Planning for emergence: Confronting rule-based and design-based urban development

   Author : Hye Kyung Lim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; density; compact city; rule-based approach; diversity; design-based approach; urban resilience; planning by coding; emergent urban form;

   Abstract : Increasing urban populations, climate changes, financial instability, global conflicts, depletion of resources, and increasing land consumption all contribute to the complex and unpredictable urban challenges we are facing today. A compact urban form is promoted by global and local policies, and research has shown the benefits of dense and diverse properties for their capacity to provide complex responses to complex challenges.

5. 3. Wicked Problems in Engineering Education : Preparing Future Engineers to Work for Sustainability

   Author : Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; Tom Adawi; John Holmberg; Marie Paretti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wicked problem; engineering education; sustainability; phenomenography; assessment; rubric; design-based research; action research; perspective shift; ill-structured problems; problem-solving; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

   Abstract : Most engineering education today does not adequately prepare students to contribute to sustainability. For example, engineering students often do not learn how to address complex and ill-structured sustainability problems that involve different stakeholders, value conflicts,and uncertainty; such problems are also called wicked problems.

6. 4. IT support for construction planning : a system design based on integrated information

   Author : Adina Jägbeck; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of the work has been to develop a conceptual designof an IT system for construction planning. For the development,an iterative method has been used, based on prototypesdeveloped in dialogue with industry professionals. READ MORE

7. 5. Biochip design based on tailored ethylene glycols

   Author : Andréas Larsson (Kaiser); Bo Liedberg; Tommy Nylander; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biosensor; biochip; poly ethylene glycol ; self-assembled monolayer; photopolymerisation; microarray; biomolecular interaction; explosives detection; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : Studies of biomolecular interactions are of interest for several reasons. Beside basic research, the knowledge gained from such studies is also very valuable in for example drug target identification. Medical care is another area where biomolecules may be used as biomarkers to aid physicians in making correct diagnosis. READ MORE
