Diagnostisering av elever i geometri : En studie med utgångspunkt i van Hieles teori

Detta är en studie som har sin utgångspunkt i Pierre M. van Hieles teori om lärande i geometri, som presenterades 1986 i boken Structure and Insight. Van Hiele har i boken vidareutvecklat sin och Dina van Hiele-Geldofs ursprungliga lärandeteori från 1955. Vår studie har som syfte att se om van Hieles teori går att tillämpa i en individuell, skriftlig diagnos för att nivåbestämma elever i årskurs 1 på gymnasiet.

A comparative study of immigrants’ political participation in Sweden and the Netherlands

This study deals with immigrants’ political participation in Sweden and the Netherlands. Scholars have recognized low level of political participation of immigrants in Sweden compared to the Netherlands. The main goal of this study is to analyze the institutional influence, mainly from political parties over immigrants’ motivation for active electoral participation. The modified actor-context model uses here as the main theoretical framework. In addition, social capital theory employs to analyze immigrants’ voluntary organizational membership. This study confirms that, Swedish immigrants have the lower participation rate in the political sphere, at lest to a certain extent, than its counterparts the Dutch immigrants. This study also confirms the argument that contextual factors can influence actor’s motivations in integration-oriented action, and similarly it validates the necessity of enlargement of the actor-context model.
