2. 21. The role of practical work in physics education in Lao PDR

   Author : Thongloon Vilaythong; Sune Pettersson; Oleg Popov; Bertil Sundqvist; Ogawa Masakata; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cultural-Historical Activity Theory; laboratory work; Laos; pendulum experiment; physics curriculum; physics education research; practical activities; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik; didactics of physics; fysikdidaktik;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to get a better understanding of the role of practical work in physics education in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). The Lao PDR is one of least developed countries in the world with a weak base for science, and poor market opportunities for science graduates. READ MORE

4. 22. Circular design through co-creation: Exploring perspectives and future directions for design in a circular economy

   Author : Giliam Dokter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Circular Economy; Co-creation; Design practice; Prototyping; Design for Sustainability; Circular Design;

   Abstract : In the efforts to stimulate sustainable development, the circular economy aims to establish ‘closed-loop’ flows of resources in a way that enables businesses and society to reap benefits from maintaining products, components and materials at their highest utility and value, while simultaneously reducing the generation of waste. Designing for a circular economy will require designers to, more than ever, anticipate how artifacts function and change over time and conceptualise the entire lifecycle (including the design, production, use and end-of-life phase) in a coherent and holistic way.

5. 23. Programming in grade 7-9 : Action possibilities and constraints from the perspective of mathematics and technology teachers

   Author : Niklas Humble; Lena-Maria Öberg; Peter Mozelius; Stefan Hrastinski; Päivi Anneli Kinnunen; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The idea of using programming in fields outside of computer science is not new, but it has received renewed attention with the global trend of integrating programming in school curricula. In the Swedish context, mathematics and technology teachers for grades 7-9 have been significantly affected by the integration of programming. READ MORE

6. 24. Virtual patients for education, assessment and research : a web-based approach

   Author : Nabil Zary; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Virtual patients; computer simulation; patient simulation; computer-based learning; computer-assisted instruction; computer-managed instruction; problem solving; clinical reasoning; clinical knowledge; computer assisted cases; interactive case-based learning.;

   Abstract : Virtual simulations of patient encounters have been an increasingly important complement in the development of healthcare competence. Virtual patients (VPs) are interactive computer programs that simulate real-life clinical scenarios, provide an effective way for healthcare professionals and students to not only learn about a wide range of clinical topics, but also to practice in a virtual and therefore safe environment.

7. 25. Technology in education, necessary but not sufficient : understanding learning with virtual patients

   Author : Samuel Edelbring; Nabil Zary; Rolf Wahlström; Timothy Dornan; Sweden Stockholm Karolinska Institutet Management and Ethics Informatics Dept of Learning; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : With the rapid technological development and the broadening access to computers over recent decades, several technological innovations have emerged in medical education, including virtual patients. Students’ use of virtual patients is proposed to fill gaps in clinical exposure, and train clinical reasoning. READ MORE
