  2. 16. Sharing lived experience : How upper secondary school chemistry teachers and students use narratives to make chemistry more meaningful

    Author : Agneta Boström; Per Olof Wickman; Russell Tytler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; cognition; Dewey; knowledge emphases; learning; meaning-making; narrative; narrative inquiry; pedagogical content knowledge; post-modernity; pragmatism; science education; teaching; the content of science; Subject didactics; Ämnesdidaktik;

    Abstract : This dissertation concerns the place of teachers’ and students’ narratives in making school chemistry more meaningful to students. The material was collected at upper secondary school courses and consists of interviews with six experienced chemistry teachers, five adult students attending evening classes and six younger students.

  4. 17. Business Model Epistemology : Support for a Semi-Structured and Inclusive Approach to Business Modeling in Established Firms

    Author : Emil Åkesson; Innovationsteknik; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business models; Cognition; Innovation; Strategy; Management tools; Established firms; Affärsmodeller; Kognition; Innovation; Strategi; Verktyg; Etablerade företag;

    Abstract : The world is facing a climate crisis and established firms are set to play a critical role in the societal changes that are needed to defeat it. At the same time, digital technologies are advancing to enable many of the technological solutions that will be required. READ MORE

  5. 18. From Tissue Engineering to Engineering Education Research: Designing in vitro cell microenvironments and undergraduate research experiences

    Author : Patric Wallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; teaching research nexus; community of practice; tissue engineering Undergraduate research experiences; cell microenvironments; cell migration; inquiry based learning; surface functionalization; chemotractant gradients; Microfluidics; situated cognition;

    Abstract : This thesis looks at tissue engineering from two perspectives that are closely interconnected with each other: 1) Research in the discipline of tissue engineering that aims to advance our knowledge in the field, and 2) research on how students learn tissue engineering through undergraduate research.In the body, cells are constantly exposed to a concert of different signaling factors that steer their behavior.

  6. 19. Modeling the Role of Energy Management in Embodied Cognition

    Author : Alberto Montebelli; Tom Ziemke; Robert Lowe; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Technology; Teknik;

    Abstract : The quest for adaptive and autonomous robots, flexible enough to smoothly comply with unstructured environments and operate in close interaction with humans, seems to require a deep rethinking of classical engineering methods. The adaptivity of natural organisms, whose cognitive capacities are rooted in their biological organization, is an obvious source of inspiration. READ MORE

  7. 20. Embodied simulation as off-line representation

    Author : Henrik Svensson; Tom Ziemke; Germund Hesslow; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Embodied cognition; Simulation theories; Emulation; Forward models; Perception; Action; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap; Teknik;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis argues that a key to understanding the embodiment of cognition is the “sharing” of neural mechanisms between sensorimotor processes and higher-level cognitive processes as described by simulation theories. Simulation theories explain higher-level cognition as (partial) simulations or emulations of sensorimotor processes through the re-activation of neural circuitry also active in bodily perception, action, and emotion.
