Abstract [en]

This study focuses on how ideas of ‘digitalization’ are discursively constructed in the Swedish steel industry. Using a discursive psychology approach, we identify seven interpretative repertoires in the discursive practicing of digitalization: everyone-else, speed, competition, job loss, control, safety, and equality. Examining their functions and effects, we show that not only is digital transformation constructed as more productive, efficient, competitive, technologically advanced, safe, and equal, it also involves a shift towards the blue-collar worker being more vulnerable; a construction where she is able-minded but lonely, physically fragile, obtuse and unreliable, and a victim of a development beyond her control, forcing of her to acquire new competence. We conclude that this reproduces asymmetrical power relations between workers and companies, pushing the challenges of digital transformation to the workers. At the same time, we also see how these local discourses hold a possibility of tempering this asymmetry through the construct of togetherness of different contexts, bodies, and hierarchal levels, thus connecting steel industry workers of the future through the use of digital technology.

Abstract [sv]

Studien baseras på intervjuer och observationer som genomfördes på det centrala underhållet vid ett svenskt företag inom stålindustrin under våren 2017. I rapporten diskuteras organisatoriska aspekter på digitalisering och betydelsen av anställdas delaktighet samt med­arbetarskap i digitalisering och en förändrad syn på produktionen som ett gemensamt uppdrag för drift och underhåll. Vidare behandlas vilka konsekvenser digitaliseringen förväntas få för kompetensförsörjningen. Det finns mycket analytisk kompetens i det centrala underhållet på företaget. Det är också en kompetens som behöver utvecklas.

Rapporten avslutas med rekommendationer om ytterligare involvering av de anställda i förändringsarbetet på företaget och om hur erfarenheterna av den tidigare kompetens­utvecklingen på företaget kan användas. Betydelsen av att systematiskt bygga upp en ny utbildningsstruktur betonas.

Abstract [en]

The study is based on interviews and observations conducted on the central maintenance of a Swedish steel industry company in spring 2017. The report discusses organizational aspects of digitalization and the importance of employee involvement as well as employee participation in digitalization and a changed view of production as a joint assignment for operation and maintenance. Furthermore, the consequences the digitalization is expected to gain for the provision of skills. There is much analytical competence in the central maintenance of the company. It is also a competence that needs to be developed. The report concludes with recommendations for further involvement of employees in the change work at the company and on how the experience of previous skills development at the company can be used. The importance of systematically building a new education structure is emphasized.

Abstract [en]

The difference between the professional competence conveyed during education and the competence demanded in working life is substantial and needs to be taken seriously. In this chapter where the case is nursing education, Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Learning Integrated Work (LIW), are suggested as pedagogical approaches in Higher Education aiming to integrate scientific knowledge and with practical knowledge, and to provide an analytical perspective where students have the opportunity to develop metacognitive skills and praxis by learning through experiences during internship. One way to achieve this in vocational education to learn from the knowledge and skills used when performing in practice. By integrating scientific and practical vocational knowledge, one promotes professionalization that is exhibited as Learning Integrated Work (LIW), i.e. the capability to perform the expected tasks and learn at work by using a critical and development-oriented attitude in daily work and actively participatein renewals of work assignments.

Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to conduct a validation and assess the test–retest reliability of the health questionnaire based on Nordenfelt’s Welfare Theory of Health (WTH). The study used a questionnaire on health together with the Short Form 12-Item Health Survey (SF-12) questionnaire, and 490 pupils at colleges for adult education participated. The results of the study are in accordance with Nordenfelt’s WTH. Three hypotheses were stated, and the first was confirmed: People who were satisfied with life rated higher levels than those who were dissatisfied with life concerning both mental and physical health, measured with the SF-12. The second hypothesis was partially confirmed: People with high education were more often satisfied with life than those with low education, but they were not healthier. The third hypothesis, that women are unhealthy more often than men, was not confirmed. The questionnaire on health showed acceptable stability.
