2. 1. Water and Heat Transport in Road Structures : Development of Mechanistic Models

   Author : Klas Hansson; Lars-Christer Lundin; Kurt Roth; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrology; Water flow; Heat flow; Unsaturated flow; Freeze-thaw; Numerical models; Uncertainty analysis; Sensitivity analysis; Roads; Overland flow; Flow patterns; TDR; Water content reflectometer; Calibration; Fractures; Hydrologi; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

   Abstract : The coupled transport of water and heat, involving freezing and thawing, in the road structure and its immediate environment is important to consider for optimal design and maintenance of roads and when assessing solute transport, of e.g. de-icing salt, from roads. READ MORE

4. 2. Models of chemical bonding : Representations Used in School Textbooks and by Teachers and their Relation to Students´Difficulties in Understanding

   Author : Anna Bergqvist; Michal Drechsler; Shu-Nu Chang Rundgren; Pernilla Nilsson; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pedagogical content knowledge; chemical bonding; textbook analysis; students learning difficulties; models in science education; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on how school textbooks and teachers present models of chemical bonding in upper secondary schools in Sweden. In science, as well as in science education, models play a central role, but research has shown that they often are difficult for students to understand. READ MORE

5. 3. Teaching and learning of chemical bonding models : Aspects of textbooks, students’ understanding and teachers’ professional knowledge

   Author : Anna Bergqvist; Shu-Nu Chang Rundgren; Pernilla Nilsson; Ingo Eilks; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical bonding models; Pedagogical content knowledge; Teachers professional development; Chemistry education; Students learning; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Despite the growing importance of science and technology in society, school students consider these subjects irrelevant and hard to learn. Teachers must therefore know how to teach science in ways that enhance students’ understanding and interest. READ MORE

6. 4. A Scholarship Approach to Model-Driven Engineering

   Author : Håkan Burden; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Model-Driven Engineering is a paradigm for software engineering where software models are the primary artefacts throughout the software life-cycle. The aim is to define suitable representations and processes that enable precise and efficient specification, development and analysis of software. READ MORE

7. 5. 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.
