Educational leadership in pre-school : A leadership in transition
This paper aims at discussing a research plan on educational leadership for educated teacher in pre-schools and is produced in the beginning of a doctoral project. Early childhood education and care in Sweden has been extended and reformed by the government as a part of the Swedish family welfare policy. The responsibility now lies within the Ministry of education and Science, and the supervisory responsibility with the National Agency for education. Pre-school (1-6) in Sweden are now a part of the educational system and has its own Curriculum.The School Act in 1998 has decentralized the responsibility to the municipalities, and thereby also the organization of the educational leadership. This change of the educational leadership for pre-school from a leadership located within the pre-school to a educational leader for a school district, is the initial ground for this research-interest. How does this change affect the educational leadership for pre-school teachers?This paper will account for what the regulatory documents and literature about educational leadership say about the importance of educative leadership.
Pedagogik i arbetslivet: ett historiskt perspektiv
I denna artikel ges en bild av hur forskningen om pedagogik i arbetslivet utvecklats i Sverige och vilka omraden den har rort. Aven om de omraden som har urskiljs delvis gar in i varandra representerar omradena relativt tydligt olika fokuseringar. I och med att utbildning, larande och kompetensutveckling i arbetslivet kom att bli ett pedagogiskt forskningsomrade tillfordes inte enbart ny kunskap till var forstaelse av manniskan i arbetslivet. Arbetslivspedagogisk forskning berikar ocksa pedagogikamnet genom att ge ett breddat underlag for teori och metodutveckling inom amnet. Villkoren for larande som ett allmant kunskapsomrade ges genom denna forskning en tydligare plats inom pedagogiken.
Kinemamtic analysis of flying-saw vehicle
The paper analyzes the kinematic motion of the flying-saw vehicle.After the analysis,it is concluded that the ac- celerating periods and decelerating periods in both forward and backward directions will follow sin~2αcurve and,in order to increase the sawing dimensional accuracy,flying-saw vehicle must come back as soon as possible while acceleration remains constant.Based on this premise,the paper gives out the equations of kinematic motion of the flying-saw vehicle in every sta- ges and one example result in a common situation.By now this method has been used in the real situation.
