Full textAbstract:
Moderna barn använder mobilteknik oftare och oftare. Ett antal studier hävdar att barns lärande kan dra nytta av användning av medier i klassrum och att det finns en brist på denna teknik att använda i skolorna. Många undersökningar indikerar att användningen av augmented reality (AR) teknik i undervisning för barn hjälper dem att bli mer motiverade och engagerade i lärande activiteter, och att det är fördelaktigt för barns minneslagring. Vissa studier hävdar att motivation är en viktig faktor för att främja en inlärningsförmåga.Denna studie syftar på att skapa en augmented reality-bok för barn 4-5 år och på att förstå hur AR kan påverka engagemang, och hur den kan stödja lärandet i termer av memorering.Ett experiment genomfördes med åtta barn som går till förskolan. Under experimentet gjordes observationer och intervjuer. Grafisk design, illustration och animering var en del av förberedelserna för experimentet. Studieresultaten analyseras och diskuteras i förhållande till tidigare undersökningar i detta område.Resultaten pekar mot att AR skulle kunna hjälpa barn i förskoleåldern i klassrummsundervisning genom att positivt påverka deras minneslagring samt öka deras engagemang och motivation - som tidigare påstås är en mycket viktig faktor för att förbättra inlärningsförmåga. Samtidigt är det svårt att tolka resultaten med en hög grad av säkerhet för att testgrupperna var små, och antalet ytterligare faktorer kan ha påverkat resultaten. För att bekräfta resultaten av denna studie är det rekommenderat att genomföra en undersökning av en större skala.<br>Modern children use mobile technologies more and more often. A number of studies argue that children’s learning can benefit from the use of media in classrooms and that there exists a lack of these technologies applied at schools. Many research indicate that use of augmented reality technologies in children’s teaching helps children to get more motivated and engaged in the learning activities, and it is beneficial for children’s memory retention. Some studies claim that motivation is an essential factor for promotion a learning performance. This study aims at creating an augmented reality (AR) book for 4-5 years old children and on understanding how AR can affect engagement, and how it can support learning in terms of memorization.There was conducted an experiment with eight children who go to preschool. During the experiment, the observations and interviews were made. Graphic design, illustration and animation were a part of preparation for the experiment. The study results are analyzed and discussed in relation to earlier research in this area. The results point towards the fact that AR could help children of preschool age in classroom education by positively affecting their memory retention and increasing their engagement and motivation – which was earlier claimed to be an extremely important factor for improving the learning performance. At the same time, it is hard to interpret the results with a high degree of certainty as the test groups were small and a number of additional factors could have affected the results. In order to confirm the results of this study, it is suggested to conduct a study of a larger scale.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the issue of elementary school attendance in later nineteenth century Bradford. It seeks to do this by means of a little used source: the school log book.
The focus of the study is on the experiences of head teachers who faced a constant struggle to achieve and maintain an acceptable level of attendance in Bradford where child employment in the flourishing textile industry had long been an inherent feature of working class life. It investigates broader issues affecting attendance in the context of prevailing social, cultural, religious, and economic factors.
While the significant and influential pressures on attendance in Bradford were to be found elsewhere (for example, parental apathy; hostility to compulsory attendance; child labour; health and welfare), this investigation discovers that the town’s problems were compounded and made difficult by its phenomenal growth and rapid emergence by the middle of the nineteenth century as the undisputed capital of the world’s worsted manufacturing trade.
It concludes that in the study of Victorian elementary school attendance Bradford deserves greater recognition in consideration of the tension between the demands of the most prolific half-time system of employment in the country, and prevailing attitudes to the introduction of universal elementary education in England and Wales.

Full textAbstract:
In a Title I school located in a southeastern state, 60% of 3rd grade students are reading below grade level. The state's new reading initiative ties grade promotion to 3rd grade students reading on grade level. At the study site, administrators identified audio books as a possibly helpful reading tool. Vygotsky's zone of proximal development theory, which holds that learners can learn new skills more readily with guided assistance, framed this study. The purpose of this quantitative, comparative design study was to explore the associations between the use of audio books and the reading levels of 3rd grade struggling readers. Research questions were used to compare the reading levels of struggling readers who use audio books with the reading levels of: (a) struggling readers reading silently, (b) at or above grade level readers who read with audio books, and (c) at or above grade level readers who read silently. Two 3rd grade classes were selected, with 25 students using audio books and 25 students reading silently, to participate in this project. Scores from the AR and from the pre- and posttest STAR assessments over a 9-week period were analyzed and compared using an independent samples t test to explore associations between the use of audio books and the comprehension and reading levels of the participants. Analysis of the results showed that the use of audiobooks was not significantly related to increased reading or comprehension levels for struggling readers. Significant improvements in reading comprehension were shown for students reading at or above grade level that read silently or used audio books. Based on the findings, a professional development project for teachers providing research-supported reading strategy instruction was developed. The findings may lead to improvements in instructional practices by encouraging the use of research-based reading strategies, which could promote positive social change by supporting greater academic success for elementary students through improved reading comprehension.

I find that digitization causes a significant increase in content on Wikipedia pages, but copyright hurts both the extent of reuse and thereby the level of internet traffic to affected Wikipedia pages. Specific features of copyright law like "fair use" produce nuanced effects: the impact of copyright is more pronounced for images compared to text and becomes economically significant only post-digitization.<br>by Abhishek Nagaraj.<br>S.M. in Management Research

The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge regarding the selection process of picture books by pre-school educators. My intention is to find out which criteria educators use to select the books. I have restricted the study to pre-school educators, because I wish to find out how they work with the selection process and which criteria and considerations are included. I also want to know if the children have influence in the book selection and how the books get to the pre-school. The study is based on qualitative interviews with educators at a pre-schools in my area as well as relevant publications. The questions the educators were given were semi-structured. The theoretical starting point for the study has been Vygotskijs sociocultural theory. The results showed that the educators made diferent considerations regarding the book selections, it was importent for the educators that the children had influence either through selecting the books them self or that the educators selectet books that the children where intrested in and the educators borrowed a lot of books from the library

Full textAbstract:
Guided by the importance of children's voices and perspectives, this study aims at finding the immigrant children's perspectives of books that share stories of early school experiences of immigrant children. Before working with children, there was a careful selection process and analyzing of the three picture books chosen for the study using critical content analysis and childism lenses. The participants are three Arab immigrant children at the age of 6 who are bilingual and attended school in the U.S for one year, at least. With acknowledgement to reader-response theory, the data collection process started with an introductory home visit, followed by three individual interactive read-aloud sessions using interviews, audio records, and observations. The data collection involved field notes of non-verbal responses of the participants and these notes supported analysis of the eight transcripts. Thematic analysis is used in analyzing the data of each story, followed by identifying finding themes across all three stories. The seven themes found across all three stories are discussed in the final chapter and include: Children can have empathy for characters, understand social injustices in the stories, be agents to change injustice in the stories, and are curious about different cultures. The children's personal stories shared during this research are the most valuable outcome because they reflect the real experiences of those most affected by the research topic. The study also explains how listening to immigrant children's personal stories is an act that supports justice and helps to fight against any kind of prejudice those children might face. The study emphasizes that children have the ability to engage in sophisticated conversations about themselves and their life experiences through the use of appropriate tools combined with believing in the children's rights.

Full textAbstract:
Recent legislation in Sweden mandates that all students beprovided access to a school library. In addition, schools areexpected to help students become independent and life-longlearners. Various national organizations stress theimportance of a school library in this process; however,reportedly independent schools use public libraries and theInternet for information activities instead. This studyexplores: 1) how independent schools in Sweden can meetboth government requirements to provide library accessand the information literacy demands of their students, and2) the function of digital libraries in this context. After acomparison of previous research, a qualitative method waschosen based on socio-cultural theoretical assumptions.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with aprincipal, a teacher, and a focus group of students from twoindependent schools. Through a process of open coding,important themes emerged concerning how libraries andinformation literacy are conceptualized. There is a strongtendency to see libraries in terms of a physical function(books on shelves) over social activities (e.g., integrationwith teachers, development of information literacies,collection management). Students rely first and foremoston Google during the information seeking process, but alsoconsult each other for help. There are also signs thatstudents are discouraged from asking their teachers for helpduring the information seeking process. The findingsindicate that current educator attitudes may hinder thedevelopment of digital school libraries.<br>Program: Biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap, Digitala bibliotek och informationstjänster

Roberts, Tarryn Elizabeth. "School Psychologists’ Perceptions of Selecting Divorce-Themed Books for Elementary-Aged Children Experiencing Parental Divorce." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2019. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/8555.
Full textAbstract:
Divorce is a common event in the United States; an estimated 50% of marriages end in divorce. With so many divorces each year, a substantial number of children are impacted. Divorce can have negative effects socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and academically, in both the short term and the long term. Bibliotherapy is a therapeutic tool centered on the use of books and stories to assist in the understanding and expression of an event. Bibliotherapy has been shown to be effective for children who have experienced similar traumatic events such as loss. Research suggests that bibliotherapy could be a flexible, cost efficient, time efficient, and therapeutically effective intervention for children experiencing divorce. This research project attempted to further understand and identify the perspectives of school psychologists on the selection and use of bibliotherapy for children experiencing divorce in their families. Participants (n=11) discussed their perceptions of 16 preselected children’s divorce books. They also discussed their perceptions on important selection criteria to consider when selecting a book to use with children of divorce. Overarching themes indicated that participants proposed that an effective book individualizes treatment; portrays realistic experiences; includes topics that are practical, comprehensive and multi-dimensional; provides an engaging and interactive story; and addresses and identifies emotions. Future research is recommended to explore the effectiveness of using carefully selected stories in supporting elementary-aged children experiencing parental divorce.

Marbach, Amikam. "Developing locating information in books in the fifth grade of the elementary school." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1989. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/1832/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research is to investigate the development of locating information in books in the fifth grade of the elementary school. The dilemma, according to the review of the literature, is that many students are not competent to locate information even in the most common source, the book, and that those who are responsible for developing these skills in schools are themselves suffering from some kind of weakness. Indeed, there is not even a program which is accepted by the whole scientific community in this area. The review of the literature also provides us with some idea about bridging the gaps of those who are responsible for the development of these skills in schools, and brings us closer to the very heart of the contents of these skills. Based on this state-of-the-art, the researcher designed a learning package program relating to the location of information in books for fifth graders of the elementary school, and he also designed a test for measuring the efficiency of this program. The learning package program was implemented and tested in Israel in two elementary schools with teacher-librarians and with well equipped libraries through collaboration between the researcher and the educational context. One of the schools was of a low socio-economic status, and the other was of a high socio-economic status. On the one hand the results strengthen the findings of the literature regarding the skill gaps of students and the lack of sufficient stimulation in schools, and on the other hand the results also reveal the possibility of improving, in many cases significantly, the location of information in books, by exposing students to the learning package program. This study reveals, moreover, that it is possible to bring teachers closer to the area of locating information in books in particular, and even to close the gaps between information skills and the educational context in general. Implications for teachers and librarians are included as well as recommendations for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Thus far the research on how schools have managed the sudden transition to distance education due to the COVID-19 pandemic has mainly focused on the experiences of teachers, and the voices of school librarians have gone unexplored. This study aims to explore the transition to distance education from the perspectives of secondary school librarians in Sweden. The study focuses on how this transition affected school librarians’ working practices and the factors that impacted their abilities to rebuild their usual activities and services in new formats. This study uses an infrastructural perspective to analyse the school library as a part of the wider school infrastructure, and considers the enforced transition to distance education as a kind of infrastructural ‘breakdown’. School libraries are treated as multifaceted infrastructures with material, structural and relational/cultural factors which all may contribute to their success. Through a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 14 librarians at 12 secondary schools in Sweden, I identified four themes in the ways informants talked about the transition process: 1. Most well-established practices, relationships and collaborations could be adapted. 2. The library room had social functions that could not be fully rebuilt online. 3. Systematic integration, strong relationships and a culture of library use contributed to successful transitions. 4. Work to make libraries more accessible and visible became more important. This is a two years master's thesis in Library and Information Science.<br>Hittills har forskningen om hur skolor har hanterat den plötsliga övergången till distansundervisning på grund av COVID-19-pandemin fokuserat till största delen på lärares erfarenheter, och skolbibliotekariers röster har inte utforskats. Denna studie syftar till att utforska övergången till distansundervisning utifrån svenska skolbibliotekariers perspektiv. Studien fokuserar på hur denna process påverkade skolbibliotekariers arbetspraktiker, och de faktorer som påverkade deras förmåga att återskapa sina vanliga verksamheter i nya format. Studien använder ett infrastrukturellt perspektiv för att analysera skolbiblioteket som en del av en bredare skolinfrastruktur, och betraktar den påtvingade övergången till distansundervisning som ett slags “infrastrukturellt sammanbrott”. Skolbibliotek behandlas som mångfasetterade infrastrukturer, med materiella, strukturella och relationella/kulturella faktorer som alla kan bidra till deras framgång. Genom tematisk analys av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med 14 bibliotekarier på 12 gymnasieskolor i Sverige identifierade jag fyra teman i hur informanterna pratade om övergångsprocessen: 1. De mest väletablerade praktikerna, relationerna och samarbetena kunde anpassas. 2. Biblioteksrummet hade sociala funktioner som inte helt kunde återskapas på nätet. 3. Systematisk integrering, starka relationer och en kultur av biblioteksanvändning bidrog till framgångsrika övergångar. 4. Arbetet för att göra biblioteken mer tillgängliga och synliga blev viktigare.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how male and female is produced in the literary children’s literature that is found in a Municipal preschool. My issues are the following: Which sex dominates as a main character in the preschools literary books? What type of properties is attributed to the characters? What type of clothes is portrayed on the books characters? I performed a quantitative study of 136 children’s books. I used Maria Nikolajevas perceptions of stereotypical male and female properties to analyze my empirical data. My conclusions are that male characters dominates as main characters, most of the male characters in the children’s books presents stereotypical male properties while the female characters statistics presents almost equal results regarding gender-neutral properties, gender-stereotypical properties and stereotypical male properties and that both gender-stereotypical and gender-neutral clothes appears in the books.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>育達科技大學<br>資訊管理所<br>107<br>The libraries in Taiwan can be classified into five major types： National Libraries, Public Libraries, Academic Libraries for colleges and universities, School Libraries for elementary and high schools, and Special Libraries. They provide substantial and useful resources for teachers and students. In the past, school librarians used to choose and purchase the books from their prior experiences. However, with the development of technology and the Internet, readers can have ready access to information anytime and anywhere. Therefore, it has become increasingly important for school libraries to know how to select the right books to meet the readers’ needs. This thesis aims to shed light on how to select and purchase books for school libraries.
On the basis of the relevant literature and the modified Delphi method (MDM), four main factors are proposed in this study, including "purposes of establishment", "needs of readers", "quality of books" and "balance of collection." A hierarchical structure is established and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is utilized to assess the impact of the four aspects on the selecting and purchasing books, in the hope of determining the weights of index for the hierarchy model.
Among the four primary criteria, the empirical results show that " needs of readers " are the most significant indicators, followed by “purposes of establishment”, "quality of books", and the lowest weight is "balance of collection." In terms of sixteen sub criteria, "students’ learning", "diversified services" and "adaptive learning environment" are the most significant factors. This also reflects the learning needs of students and teachers is the primary consideration. Judging from the four main criteria and sixteen sub criteria, the rank of the three alternatives： “The Formula of Youthfulness,” “A Fish that Smiled at me,” and “The History Keepers” corresponds to the results of the survey. “The Formula of Youthfulness” is the most popular book. It is hoped that this study can offer an effective method of choosing and purchasing books for school libraries and function as a reference for future research.

Full textAbstract:
D.Ed.<br>The general preference for English as language of teaching and learning (LoLT) poses a formidable learning barrier to many English Second Language (ESL) learners in South African schools. Addressing this barrier is the responsibility of the whole-school with the support of the Department of Education. In particular, school based support teams (SBST) are tasked with the support of learners who experience reading barriers in an inclusive mainstream school. This thesis concerns the implementation of a whole-school intervention at a primary school in a disadvantaged community in Gauteng, South Africa, where ESL learners experience severe barriers to reading acquisition. The aim was to provide support to the whole-school to address reading barriers in an inclusive environment. Objectives were to identify the elements of whole-school reading; to develop and implement an integrated whole-school reading intervention; to train educators to address learners’ reading barriers; and to provide guidelines to the Inclusion and Special Schools Unit (provincial level), District Based Support Team (DBST) and the school, to address reading barriers in future. A literature study reviewed themes regarding inclusion, support structures and whole-school development. Literature dealing with essential elements of whole-school reading, approaches and strategies provided a theoretical framework for the implementation of whole-school reading. A qualitative study within an interpretive paradigm using practitioner action research was conducted. The research site was a primary school in a disadvantaged area in Gauteng, which had referred ESL learners to the local Inclusion and Special Schools Unit for support. Action research was selected because of its fundamental principle of participant empowerment through participation, collaboration, acquisition of knowledge and social change. Data was gathered from staff and learners and analysed during the phases of the action research process. Data collection included learner and educator questionnaires, discussions, observations, field notes, pre- and post baseline scholastic assessment, focus group interviews and the researcher’s reflections. Findings indicated that SBST’s need support in order to address reading barriers. ESL learners do not receive sufficient exposure to English to develop reading skills. Intermediate phase educators have not been trained to teach learners to read and improve their reading skills. Whole-school reading intervention was thus valuable in providing training and support structures for the school to address reading difficulties.

碩士<br>國防大學<br>運籌管理學系<br>107<br>National security maintenance cannot be borne solely by the military. Modern national defense must be based on the concept of "national defense" and achieve the overall strength through the participation of all citizens in different fields. Western proverbs: "Education is the cheapest defense". In addition to strengthening the consensus and civil defense forces of the national defense, education through different means is also an effective way to enlighten people's concern and participation in national defense affairs.
In order to stimulate students' interest in national defense education, the study asked participants (students) to search for relevant materials in the online bookstore, and then use the GOOGLE questionnaire to fill out and collect military books and materials that high school students like. Then, the project-based collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm is used to calculate the similarity, and the book with the highest similarity is fed back to the students as the recommendation result. Finally, use the chi-square test to verify.
Based on the recommendation results generated by the recommendation mechanism, this study comprehensively lists the list of recommended books for military books, provides the most suitable extracurricular military books for high school students, enhances the interest of high school students in military and national defense themes, and enhances the practice of national defense.
