  2. 16. Chemistry: content, context and choices : towards students' higher order problem solving in upper secondary school

    Author : Karolina Broman; Eva Silfver; Dan Johnels; Judith Bennett; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; chemistry education; upper secondary students; meaningful learning; higher order thinking; problem solving; context-based learning; interest; educational choice; identity; kemididaktik; didactics of chemistry;

    Abstract : Chemistry is often claimed to be difficult, irrelevant, and uninteresting to school students. Even students who enjoy doing science often have problems seeing themselves as being scientists. This thesis explores and challenges the negative perception of chemistry by investigating upper secondary students’ views on the subject. READ MORE

  4. 17. Memory for Problem Solving: Comparative Studies in Attention, Working and Long-term Memory

    Author : Katarzyna Bobrowicz; LUCS grupp för kognitiv zoologi; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; memory; flexibility; comparative cognition; transfer; problem solving; attention;

    Abstract : Living in a complex and dynamically changing environment requires accurate and timely behavioural responses that allow for adapting to such changes. Well-developed perceptual systems provide a continuous flow of abundant and up-to-date information on the changes in the environment, and, thereby, allow for tailoring behavioural responses accordingly.

  5. 18. Improving emergency and disaster response management performance : A problem-solving perspective

    Author : Tove Frykmer; Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; emergency; disaster; response management performance; problem solving; collective;

    Abstract : The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to investigate how collective emergency and disaster response management performance can be further improved. Based on four studies, this research contributes with knowledge in two areas.First, collective processes that might improve response management are investigated. READ MORE

  6. 19. The Hammer and the Nail : Interdisciplinarity and Problem Solving in Sustainability Science

    Author : Henrik Thorén; Teoretisk filosofi; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Interdisciplinarity; problem solving; scientific integration; pluralism; unification; sustainability science;

    Abstract : This is a thesis about interdisciplinarity, scientific integration, and problem solving in sustainability science. Sustainability science is an emerging and highly interdisciplinary field that seeks to integrate vastly differentiated bodies of knowledge in addressing the challenge of transitioning contemporary societies towards sustainability.

  7. 20. Exploring processes and resources for problem solving at the crossroads between chemistry and mathematics

    Author : Sofie Ye; Felix M. Ho; Maja Elmgren; Jonas Bergman Ärlebäck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; problem solving; mathematical modelling; chemical kinetics; chemistry education research; tertiary education; resources framework; mathematics education research; metacognition; intuition; Kemi; Chemistry; Curriculum Studies; Didaktik; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : Problem solving at the crossroads between chemistry and mathematics presents significant challenges for students at all levels of education. This licentiate thesis aims to enhance our understanding of such problem solving, with a focus on how university students approach problems in the context of chemical kinetics. READ MORE
