The guiding function of the object of work
No full textThe paper explores how work activity gets its orientation. With the help of
Ilyenkov´s conception of the dialectical unity of activity/object and
Leontiev´s conception of activity as layered, I make an analysis of patient
cases presented in a clinical heart conference. The aim is to find out how the
motivating character of the object of work influences the aggregates of work
actions. The empirical finding is that ? and how - the transformations of the
object occur in phases, which are determined by the practical encounter with
the designed and redesigned objects. In the discussion of the findings three
themes are presented. First, what constitutes the object of coronary clinical
work, and how to describe and analyze it. Second, as one of the social actors
which contribute to the configurations of the object, the voices of the
patients which are heard in the clinical work are taken into account as one
determination of the object of work.. Finally the paper discusses the
instructive character of the transformation of the object of work
A CHAT approach to "networked learning" [Elektronisk resurs]
No full text: The poster presentation comprises two parts. The first part - a cultural-historical activity-theory (CHAT) exploration of the concept of “networked learning” – is the paper display seen here. The second part is a computer presentation of a case of “networked learning” – the Ronneby version of the Fifth Dimension approach to learningSom ett alternativ till att karakterisera lärande som "networked" -som lnärmast låser det till lärande i datornät - föreslås bruket av begreppet "mediering", som har en mer grundlägande betydelse (åtminstone som det används inom kulturhistorisk verksamhetsteori). Vilka betydelseförändringar det kan ge illustreras med exemple från lärandemiljön Femte Dimensionen i Ronneby.</p

Grunden för studien är en empirisk fallstudie av kranskärsldiagnostik
Verksamhetsteoretiska studier av kranskärlsdiagnostiskt arbete
No full textThe aim of the thesis is to study the role of instruction in the interconnection of instruction-learning-development. The thesis consists of six empirical papers and a summing-up and perspectivizing introductory paper. Five of the empirical studies concern so called heart conferences, clinical diagnostic meetings, which at the time of my study, 1995-1996, were arranged as telemediated conferences between a sub-team of surgeons and radiologists in a university clinic, and a sub-team of cardiologists and radiologists in a regional hospital. The outcome of the coronary diagnostic work in the heart conferences was patient diagnoses and decided-upon treatment (surgery, balloon dilatation, or conservative treatment). The sixth empirical study, conducted in the autumn 2000, investigates the design and redesign of a central artifact used in the heart conference, ?the angio film,? produced in the angio lab. A recurrent theme in the empirical papers is whether artifacts might be instructive and, if so, in what ways. The introductory paper is a hybrid between an ordinary summing-up paper of the findings in the empirical studies, and a perspectivizing presentation of activity-theoretical approaches to instruction, learning and development, elaborating on three basic aspects (learning as a collaborative phenomenon, the instructiveness of artifacts, and the relation between learning and development on an individual level, but primarily on an activity level). In conclusion, my study outlines an approach to learning based on new perspectives on instruction.Studier av läkares co-coaching av varandra som ett led i deras samarbete rörande kranskärlsdiagnostiskt arbete.

A new kind of societal knowledge creation? [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textThe chapter outlines some theoretical and practical implications for “joint ventures” by re-thinking learning as an activity-transforming activity. In addition, it presents a “joint-venture” project in some detail. Finally, it briefly explains what it means, as stated in the title, that there might be a new kind of knowledge production that goes beyond individual projects and makes up a societal creation of knowledge. And here higher education is the key. It is suggested that, when suitably organised, university students might form a mighty R&D resource, which is tremendously underestimated today. For example, the students could be organised as parts of research teams, which in turn could participate in joint ventures of interaction research - or in some other way that enables them to make contributions to research, to artefact development and to the development of work activities. In short: manpower intensive research.I texten argumenterar jag för att generering av kunskap kan ske genom ssystematisk amverkan mellan forskare och högskolestudenter, och att ett sådant arrangemang kan göras positivt för såväl FoU-verksamheten som för den högre utbildningen.</p

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
