  2. 1. Effectiveness and process in experiential group learning : comparing a process-directive encounter group (PEG) and a self-directive study group (SSG)

    Author : Anders Wendelheim; Siv Boalt-Boëthius; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Experiential group learning; group effectiveness; change skills; group awareness; action ability; process competence; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : The present thesis examines experiential group learning phenomena. The aim of the empirical study was to evaluate the impacts of two experiential group learning conditions (Process-directive Encounter Group, PEG; Self-directive Study Group, SSG) on group processes and outcomes.

  4. 2. A Categorical Study of Composition Algebras via Group Actions and Triality

    Author : Seidon Alsaody; Ernst Dieterich; Ryszard Rubinsztein; Alberto Elduque; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Composition algebra; division algebra; absolute valued algebra; triality; groupoid; group action; algebraic group; Lie algebra of derivations; classification.; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : A composition algebra is a non-zero algebra endowed with a strictly non-degenerate, multiplicative quadratic form. Finite-dimensional composition algebras exist only in dimension 1, 2, 4 and 8 and are in general not associative or unital. Over the real numbers, such algebras are division algebras if and only if they are absolute valued, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 3. Making Room for Complexity in Group Collaborations: The Roles of Scaffolding and Facilitation

    Author : Pia Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; action research; adult development; awareness; coaction; collective efficacy; complexity; group facilitation; hope; metacognition; methods for complex issues; scaffolding;

    Abstract : This thesis has a dual objective: the theoretical aim is to analyse how developmental scaffolding influences the way that group participants’ conceptions about societal issues of concern, appropriate goals and courses of action change as their awareness of the interconnectedness between different issues, conditions, causes and consequences increase. On a practical level, the thesis aims to contribute insights into the craft and role of facilitation for facilitators, project leaders, dialogue designers and other practitioners whose engagement in group processes involves scaffolding the understanding of issues that have a considerable degree of complexity.

  6. 4. Bringing System Dynamics into Action Research

    Author : Paul Holmström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; process consultation; Operations Research; simulation; action research; modelling; System Dynamics; healthcare;

    Abstract : System Dynamics simulation is a computer-aided approach to policy analysis and design, often carried out by external experts in simulation. System Dynamics is particularly useful in complicated and complex situations, such as healthcare. However, research has shown that few models in healthcare are implemented. READ MORE

  7. 5. Industrial work groups : the impact of job design, leader support and group processes on initiative and self-organization
