  English abstract:

  By 2050, the population share aged over 80 will double. Considering the number of older adults and the wide range of chronic conditions, health systems need to assure that care is adapted to the individuals' different needs and enables the elderly to be active and involved. This article is about introducing a food reminder system into the domain of dementia care. The aim is to explore and describe whether and how such a system, built with existing technology, can be valuable, and how caregivers adopted it in a real-world environment. The system is built with Android® tablets and is called iRemember.® The research is done as a case study at a care facility in Simrishamn, Sweden. Domain knowledge is gained by reviewing previous research and by conducting interviews with professionals at the facility. The system is developed, deployed, and evaluated at a care facility home for persons with dementia. Data about usage and perception of the value of the system is collected through observations and interviews. Results indicate that a food reminder system can be valuable to and empower people with dementia. They also indicate that caregivers can readily adopt such a solution, including both management and people working directly with persons with dementia.

  English abstract:

  The purpose of this article is to problematize and detail how migration issues due to the labour market can be linked to social work education in higher education from the perspective of migration and internationalization out of a Swedish (and Nordic) context. Migration problems and challenges needs to be seen in a local and global context and the education needs to be characterized by this. In social work education, migration and internationalization means that one creates conditions for cooperation and understanding between the average nations, at home in our professional daily life and abroad through various exchanges in studies, research and practice, placements. Education in migration creates a deeper cross-border integration in which students coming from different cultures and traditions develop their skills and understanding through different pedagogical and didactic aspects. Migrations issues can thus be said to contain different levels of understanding on personal, organizational and societal levels and intervention in relation to knowledge creation. The language of migration and how we face it is to a high degree incomplete, and how we use terms and words is very much based on our contexts when it comes to the role of metaphors and stigmatization. The main conclusion is that migration issues in social work education need to be seen in practice as a concept of “acting locally and thinking globally”, and should be viewed as a major input for developing migration in higher education and social work education — a Glocal approach.

  Note:

  Resultatdialog presenterar svensk utbildningsvetenskaplig forskning som finansieras av Vetenskapsrådet. Sedan år 2005 har resultat från aktuella forskningsprojekt sammanfattats dels på en årlig konferens, dels i en antologi. De sammanlagt 32 projekt som redovisas inom ramen för Resultatdialog 2018 involverar runt 150 forskare från 18 lärosäten. Tillsammans ger de prov på den stora spännvidd som utbildningsvetenskap rymmer. På Vetenskapsrådet vill vi med Resultatdialog sprida nya forskningsrön så att de får genomslag och främjar kontakter mellan alla som är intresserade av utbildningsvetenskaplig forskning.
