The students participating in my development work will work with a process book for handicraft studies. In the beginning of their studies, the students need practical knowledge about the development of the profession itself, but they also need to be challenged and learn how to solve problems on their own which will help them gain a deeper knowledge of the subject.    I focus on open questions to create a process with the students. This process is created when working with Solution-Focused-Education. Through ?assessment for learning? we can help the students to improve their self-assessment and understanding of the learning process.

The purpose of this essay has been to investigate if the national test results, in the subject of Swedish B at upper secondary school, are affecting a student?s final grade in varied degree among different teachers. The purpose has also been to investigate if the assessment of these tests is equivalent among different teachers. This particular investigation showed that there are big differences between how teachers grade, in relation to achieved results on the national test. According to the Swedish National Agency for Education, the teacher should take all performance information available into consideration for each particular student.

Redan 1899 skrev Woodworth om iakttagelser av effekten av visuell feedback på rörelser. Sedan dess har ett stort antal studier berört ämnet och studerat effekterna de medför. Denna studie anser att det finns brister i kunskapen om visuell feedbacks effekter inom vardaglig användning. Genom att låta deltagare använda och utvärdera instanser av en bokningsplattform för biljetter till ett event har studien observerat användarens upplevelse och effektivitet under processen.Den insamlade datan analyserades via variansanalys men lyckas inte avfärda nollhypotesen. Studiens resultat visade ingen korrelation mellan närvaron av visuell feedback på hover-funktionen och användarens effektivitet och upplevelse.

BACKGROUND: A telephone nurse is a nurse that during most of its working time is engaged in healthcare advice via the telephone. The advent of the telephone healthcare advice has probably meant that individuals, who initially wouldn?t have sought help, if they needed to meet healthcare providers face to face, now actually have the confidence to turn to healthcare. For telephone healthcare advice is professional care to identify, assess and advise on individuals? reactions to actual or potential health problems.

The employment interview is an important part of the recruitment process because the recruiter then has a chance to form an opinion about the applicant as a person. The purpose with this study has been to examine if there are any differences between inhouse-recruiters and recruiting consultants concerning the employment interview and its assessment methods. Five inhouse-recruiters and five recruiting consultants have been interviewed on the basis of a manual. There are differences between the groups in 6 of the 17 themes that have been examined: purpose with the employment interview, private-, double- or panelinterview, length of the interview, personal chemistry, appearance and objectivity in the assessment. Many of the differences are caused by the fact that inhouse-recruiters recruit for their own organisation and recruiting consultants recruit for a client.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att jämföra ledningens och medarbetarnas uppfattning om rådande styrform, kommunikationsklimat och feedback. Syftet är även att identifiera vilka aspekter inom styrning, kommunikation och feedback som ledningen anser vara viktiga för att medarbetarna skall uppleva arbetstillfredsställelse och prestera goda resultat. Vi har även identifierat olika aspekter inom styrning, kommunikation och feedback som kan kopplas mot medarbetarnas arbetstillfredsställelse och arbetsprestationer. Slutligen har vi identifierat om olika grad av osäkerhetstolerans och självtillit hos medarbetarna påverkar arbetstillfredsställelse och arbetsprestationer. För att undersöka detta har vi genomfört en fallstudie på en ekonomiavdelning.

Assessment of impacts on nature and reindeer husbandry by the considered mountain road between Borgafjäll and Saxnäs- Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institutes method for assessment of damage to heritage assetsThere are plans regarding the building of a new road from Borgafjäll/Båtas to Saxnäs, and two road alternatives have been presented. The road has been localized to an area which is protected as a nature reserve and listed as a Nature 2000 area. This report aims to determine the effects on the Nature 2000 area and reindeer husbandry, and to be a source of knowledge for future environmental impact assessment in that project. In order to assess the impact on nature values and reindeer husbandry a method from the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) has been used. A literature review has been made to prescribe the effects and consequences.

SyfteSyftet med studien var att ta reda på hur lärarna förhåller sig till genus och bedömning i ämnet idrott och hälsa i årskurs 7-9.Våra frågeställningar var:Bedöms pojkar och flickor på olika sätt?Vilka faktorer tar läraren hänsyn till i sin bedömning?Hur arbetar läraren med feedback?MetodStudien har en kvalitativ ansats där tre idrottslärare har intervjuats. Lärarna valdes ut genom ett bekvämlighetsurval.Intervjuerna var semistrukturerade och vi använde en intervjuguide för att säkerställa likvärdig information från våra respondenter. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med hjälp av genusteori relaterat till bedömning av pojkar och flickor.Resultat Resultaten visade att bedömning är något som lärarna anser är viktigt. Ibland bedöms eleverna under lektionstid och ibland efteråt.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to examine how a school team works with formative assessment in compulsory school for pupils with intellectual disabilities. The study had a particular focus on formative assessment in relation to pupils with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities. Since there is a lack of research within the field of formative assessment and pupils with moderate and severe disabilities this study may contribute to new knowledge in this field. A sociocultural perspective has been used as a theoretical framework. A central concept in the sociocultural perspective is that people develop knowledge in interaction with other people and that communication and language is important.  The methodical framework was inspired by an ethnographic approach and the empirical material was concocted by participatory observations and by interviews.

Som ett kommunikationsverktyg och en ledarskapsaspekt tjänar feedback många syften i enorganisation, och är därför ett ständigt aktuellt och relevant ämne. Somliga ledarstilar passarbättre än andra i olika organisationer, då organisationskulturen har en stor påverkan på hurledarskapet mottages. På grund av detta påverkas även relationen mellan ledare och medarbetareoch hur tvåvägskommunikationen, feedbacken, sker mellan parterna. I denna uppsats undersökssamspelet mellan feedback och organisationskultur & ledarskap i syfte att utveckla feedbackeninom organisationer. Hur feedback sker, problem i samband med feedback och förutsättningarnaför feedback har varit viktiga aspekter som har undersökts i denna studie.

Enligt våra erfarenheter från vår verksamhetsförlagda tid påverkas elevers inställning till matematik av den feedback läraren ger dem. Syftet med denna rapport är därför att undersöka och analysera diskurser innehållande feedback från lektioner i gymnasieskolans matematikkurs A. Detta görs genom att observera fyra lektioner utifrån en ljudinspelning och därefter kategorisera 54 utvalda sekvenser. Kategoriseringen görs utifrån fyra olika feedbackdiskurser där den kvalitativa analysen av dem görs utifrån både ett ålders- och ett pojk-/flickperspektiv. Resultatet pekar inte på några tydliga skillnader mellan pojkar och flickor och vi kan inte dra några generella slutsatser om ålderns betydelse i de olika feedbackdiskurserna i vår undersökning.

This paper describes the integration of environmental assessment in Swedish municipality comprehensive planning through a chosen case study. The implementation of a new EGdirective in Swedish law, concerning Assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment, should lead to some changes in the way Swedish municipalities' deals with environmental issues in their comprehensive plans. This could later on lead to new preconditions for municipality comprehensive planning. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the planning organisation in the municipality adapts to new regulations for impact assessment of comprehensive plans required by the Planning and Building act. Secondly the purpose was to partly participate in the early stages of the planning process and thereby indicate and identify possible environmental impacts regarding the aspects of land and water. This was done as a case study in a well defined part of the process.

Development managers are characterized as grassroots bureaucrats, then they are officers who are in the organization, but also has a direct contact with the elderly applicants for municipal assistance. I wanted to explore how these policies relate to the older people's autonomy and their implications for officer assistance in their daily work. As a theoretical starting point I have used out of a närbyråkratiskt perspective, and a negotiation perspective.

In a phonological assessment, the aim is to obtain systematic and reliable data of a child's speech output, which can then serve as a basis for a decision on an appropriate intervention (Wolk & Meisler, 1998). Whether phonological assessment should be derived from an analysis of picture-naming or a conversation with the child, and whether the two methods for elicitation generate equivalent results, has been debated among clinicians and researchers for an extended time (Masterson, Bernhardt & Hofheintz, 2005).The aim of the present study was to compare two methods of speech elicitation for phonological assessment: spontaneous conversation and picture-naming, respectively. In the study, the procedures have been used when assessing children with phonological disorders as well as children with typical language development. The results are presented using two levels of phonological analysis; degree of phonological impairment, in terms of percentage of phonemes correct (PPC), and type of phonological impairment, in terms of phonological simplification processes. Eighteen (18) children participated in the study, nine (9) with phonological impairment (age 3;10 ? 5;11), and nine with typical phonologic development (age 3;2 ? 4;6).
