  2. 16. Design and use of mobile technology in distance language education : Matching learning practices with technologies-in-practice

    Author : Olga Viberg; Åke Grönlund; Mats Tegmark; Annika Andersson; Victor Kaptelinin; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; online distance education; mobile learning; mobile-assisted language learning; information systems artefact; design science research; learning practices; structuration; self-regulation; technology-in-practice; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis; Komplexa system - mikrodataanalys; Informatik; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the adaptation of formal education to people’s technology- use patterns, theirtechnology-in-practice, where the ubiquitous use of mobile technologies is central. The research question is: How can language learning practices occuring in informal learning environments be effectively integrated with formal education through the use of mobile technology? The study investigates the technical, pedagogical, social and cultural challenges involved in a design science approach.

  4. 17. Learning ecosystem complexity : A study on small-scale fishers’ ecological knowledge generation

    Author : Diana Garavito-Bermúdez; Camilla Thunborg; Cecilia Lundholm; Beatrice Crona; Alan Reid; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; small-scale fishers; informal learning; knowledge generation; systems thinking; ecological knowledge; ecosystem complexity; work practices; emotional bonds to place; sustainable fisheries management; environmental learning; Vättern; Blekinge; Baltic Sea.; pedagogik; Education;

    Abstract : Small-scale fisheries are learning contexts of importance for generating, transferring, and updating ecological knowledge of natural environments through everyday work practices. The rich knowledge fishers have of local ecosystems is the result of the intimate relationship fishing communities have had with their natural environments across generations (see e. READ MORE
