Sammanfattning
With the great need to stay competitive on the global market in the manufacturing
industry, constant efficiency improvements are required. This paves the way for a new
industrial revolution: digitalization. Therefore, the need for knowledge and experience
about the possibilities and challenges of digitalization is vital. Projects like Smarta
Fabriker with the purpose to disseminate knowledge about digitalization to companies
and schools as the next generation employees are conducted to fulfil these needs. The
Smarta Fabriker project offers an activity-based workshop experience that teaches
about digitalization topics.
This thesis focuses on the development of a workshop as a learning situation together
with the project Smarta Fabriker. The workshop is developed with application of
theories that promote learning and knowledge transfer and its performance is tested
and evaluated to identify the benefits of the new workshop. The new workshop is
evaluated in comparison to Smarta Fabriker’s already existing workshop to be able to
distinguish improvements with the new workshop.
The evaluation shows that the participants remember more of the content of the new
workshop than of the former one, two weeks after the workshop. Furthermore, the
participants claim that they experienced the new workshop as rewarding. However, the
results show no statistical significance according to the performed tests due to the low
number of participants in the evaluation. The results show only trends of what is the
contribution of the applied theories of learning regarding increased learning. Therefore,
no general conclusion can be made without further investigation.
