Lundahl, Sofia; Avdic, Medina : Malmö universitet/Kultur och samhälle (2017) Student essay 15hp
Swedish abstract: Med en kvalitativ ansats och med ett kritiskt perspektiv ifrågasätter denna studie hur Vikariebanken som verktyg påverkar arbetare i den operativa nivåns handlingsutrymme. Syftet är att belysa hur personal upplever Vikariebankens funktion i relation till sin arbetsmiljö och vilket handlingsutrymme de har att påverka sin arbetssituation kopplat till Vikariebanken. Studien bygger på nio semistrukturerade intervjuer av fast anställda undersköterskor på ett äldreboende samt en fokusgrupp där anställda och före detta anställda av Vikariebanken möts och diskuterar upplevelser av sin anställningsform. Det insamlade materialet har vi kategoriserat utifrån en abduktiv metod där den empiriska och teoretiska rösten pendlar och reflekteras mot varandra för att skapa nya perspektiv. Vår studie resulterar i att individens handlingsutrymme står i relation till omgivande sociala strukturer. Om sociala strukturer, som exempelvis arbetets ideologi, inte synliggörs begränsas individens handlingsutrymme vilket också skapar ett fängslande grepp om vilka möjligheter den enskilda individen har att göra motstånd mot ohållbara arbetssituationer. -
Thinking and researching inclusive education without a banister : vis...

Journal article in International Journal of Inclusive Education; : Taylor & Francis (2018)Journal article 
English abstract: This paper presents some initial findings of a double-sided study on collective research in inclusive education. The aim is to discuss how thinking on inclusive education can be produced and evolved in a community of inquiry consisting of practitioners and researchers. The paper presents both a research process and an explorative theoretical endeavour to rethink how we might conduct research in education and more specifically inclusive education. The theoretical point of departure is Hannah Arendt’s concept of ‘thinking without a banister’ which, succinctly put, means to be able to think without a fixed methodology. We connect Arendt’s idea of ‘thinking without a banister’ with Johann Friedrich Herbart’s concept of pedagogical tact, which deals with the strong connection between theory and practice in educational processes. The paper ends with a reflection on the possible influence on inclusive education of the framework presented, and how it might lead to a more inclusive starting point for thinking about and researching the field of inclusive education.

Cooperative Learning: A Teacher Perspective
Gudinge, Josefin : Malmö universitet/Lärande och samhälle (2018) Student essay 15hp
English abstract: This study’s aim is to investigate what strategies within cooperative learning teachers’ use in the English classroom. An additional aim is to investigate how teachers’ believe cooperative learning contributes to interaction between students. The study focuses on the perspective of the teachers. Cooperative learning is a pedagogical method with roots from the sociocultural perspective. Furthermore, it is described by Kagan and Stenlev (2006) as a method where students work in groups and cooperate in order to achieve the mutual goal. According to Kagan and Stenlev (2006), the students’ communicative interaction between each other is one of the critical elements of cooperative learning. The empirical material consists of qualitative interviews with four legitimized teachers. I chose to conduct a qualitative research in order to guarantee valid answers due to the time given. After the interviews, the recorded answers were analyzed and compared to one and other in order to reach answers to my research question. After having finished the result analyze, the recordings of the interviews were deleted. The result of the study shows that teachers tend to use following strategies within cooperative learning: think-pair-share, team-pair-solo, quiz-quiz-trade, jigsaw, poem for two voices and placement consensus. Furthermore, it shows that teachers’ attitude and willingness to use cooperative learning can depend on when they got their degree. However, additional factors may have an impact, such as the lack of further education in connection to the introduction of the new steering document in 2011.

Barnlitteratur ur ett genusperspektiv - "Bete dig som en riktig man, ...
Touman, Mona : Malmö universitet/Lärande och samhälle (2018) Student essay 15hp
Swedish abstract: Syftet med studien är att genom att granska tre av de ”mest utlånade barnböckerna” år 2017, som unga barn i 6-9 års ålder läser, genomföra en kritisk ideologianalys samt bildanalys om hur genusordningen och relationer ser ut mellan manliga och kvinnliga karaktärer i böcker samt om hur karaktärernas genus framställs i dem och hur läsaren teoretiskt kan påverkas av det. Böckerna som text- och bildanalysen baseras på är "LasseMajas detektivbyrå” som är skriven av Martin Widmark och illustrerad av Helena Willis. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkter är Hirdmans (2001) grundprinciper om hierarki och dikotomi, Hardings (1986) genusordning samt queerteorin om performativt genus. Resultatet visar att i böckerna skildras en del karaktärer med performativt genus och att en del bryter mot den stereotypiska mallen. Det skildras även traditionella framställningar av genus samt visar karaktärer kunna ha maskulina och feminina genusdrag som anses tillskrivas det motsatta könet. Kvinnliga karaktärer beskrivs oftare med maskulint genus än manliga karaktärer med ett kvinnligt genus. Det råder dikotomier mellan könen, där karaktärer kan skildras som varandras motpoler samt hierarkier där kvinnliga karaktärer går mot manliga yrken medan manliga karaktärer däremot inte går mot kvinnliga yrkesområden. I alla böcker kan läsaren i mötet med texten få ta del av ett par högt uppsatta yrkespositioner med makt, där könsfördelningen inte är jämlik.

Digital Game Design for Elderly People
Tahmassebi, Shadi : Malmö universitet/Teknik och samhälle (2018) Master thesis (one year)
English abstract: Researchers have found that digital gaming is beneficial for the cognitive, psychological, and physical health of the elderly people [1][6]. The percentage of the elderly people playing digital games is growing increasingly (and so do the demographics) and thus the elderly generation form a potential base for a yet inexperienced game market. Nevertheless, the game industry seems to have ignored this important layer of the population as a special category of users [3]. Neither the hardware nor the software are designed with the elderlies’ age-related cognitive and physical impairments. While there is a lot of research on the positive effects of digital games on the elderlies’ well-being, the characteristics of the elderly gamers have rarely been explored [1]. The purpose of this study is to find out the elderly people’s perceptions and experiences of playing games and map the difficulties they experience. Based on the collected data and facts, a number of important factors to be considered by the designers of games for the elderly people are recommended. Almost 50 individuals between 65 and 90 years of age, living in their homes and enjoying a for their age normal health, have been interviewed by the author. The results reveal that a considerably high majority of the respondents show interest in playing games. Meanwhile, they complain about the complexity of both hardware and software in relation to their age-related cognitive and physical limitations. Most of the elderly individuals say that they need help with both playing games and using the devices. An important conclusion from the findings of this research is that games targeting the elderly users should be designed beyond the general usability issues, considering the possibility of customizing the technologies to individual needs and requirements, as the health and physical conditions of the elderly people vary greatly. The study concludes that for the elderly population to be motivated and benefit from digital games, developers producing the software and hardware, and designers engaged in the design of user interface, need to consider this population as a separate category of gamers and offer games meeting age-related needs and requirements.
