Värdering av kriterier vid stora investeringar : En jämförelse mellan olika intressenters uppskattningar av kriterier

In what way does different stakeholders assess a decision and its consequences, and how do these assessments differ? When a company stands before a big decision, they need to consider aspects that are economic, ecologic and social. To make a good decision they need to consider the society and its different stakeholder groups. This study examined how different groups values and weights different criteria. The study has been done with the project Sundsvall logistics park as a case, with criteria related to that project. The goal of the study was to find a way to value and weight different criteria and then compare how the company and the stakeholders assesses these criteria. This has been done through interviews with relevant people that has got extra knowledge about the project Sundsvall logistics park, and through a survey that has been sent out to residents of Sundsvall. The informants and respondents got to assess values and weights to the criteria relative to an indirect alternative where the logistics park isn’t built. The data was then compiled using multi attribute utility theory as a tool to present the comparison. The result of the study suggests that the differences between the valuations and weightings of the criteria is partly due to an uncertainty in how the logistics park would affect the criteria, but that the biggest reason probably depends on what perspective the person is viewing the logistics park from. If the person is viewing the logistics park from an industrial perspective, the criteria related to industrial development is getting more important and is going to take up more room in the analysis. If the person is viewing the logistics park from an individual and social perspective, the criteria related to that is more important and takes up more room in the analysis.

MatteLEKtion : En studie i fem lärares tankar om att använda lek vid matematikundervisning utanför matematikboken

Syftet med min studie var att undersöka hur leken används som verktyg i matematikundervisningen och hur fem lärare ser på lekens roll i den tidiga matematikinlärningen. Jag har även tittat på hur leken har förändrats genom tiderna och tagit del av aktuell forskning som behandlar lek och matematikundervisning.   Jag har kommit fram till att styrd lek används i den tidiga matematik-undervisningen med goda resultat. Däremot finns det ett flertal faktorer att ta hänsyn till där val av läromedel, elevgrupp, lärarens arbetssituation samt tillgång till resurser påverkar hur fördelningen sker mellan bokstyrda matematiklektioner och lektioner utanför matematikboken. Styrd lek som verktyg i matematikundervisningen är överlag mer förekommande i de tidiga åren i skolan men ersätts av laborationer och elektroniska hjälpmedel som till exempel IPad för färdighetsträning allt eftersom eleverna blir äldre.
