The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether the lower secondary school teaching in religion leads to a positive understanding and openness, concerning different religions and cultures. We want to study how pupils in grade eight and nine in two lower secondary schools in a multicultural community comprehend different religions. Since we choose a pupils perspective we decided to do a questionnaire to get a wide ground. As a complement we interviewed twelve pupils and also did observations during their religion classes. During our study we focused on three different themes.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera hur hinduismen har framställts i läroböcker för undervisning i ämnet religionskunskap på gymnasiet, fr.o.m. Lgy 65 fram till idag, utifrån en substantiell och funktionell förståelse av religion och religiositet. I uppsatsen studerar jag sex läroböcker aktuella för tre olika läroplaner: Lgy 65, Lgy supplement 78, samt Gy 11. Metoden är kvalitativ textanalys, med utgångspunkt i uppsatsens teoretiska huvudbegrepp: substantiell-funktionell religionsförståelse. Resultatet visar på att hinduismen har framställts olika över tid.

Studien utgår från en syn på sakprosa i allmänhet och skolböcker i synnerhet som deltagare i ett nära samspel med samhället. Jag genomför i studien en komparativ textanalys av två läroböckers avsnitt om hinduism i ämnet religionskunskap på gymnasieskolan. Böckerna är av olika ålder, den ena är utgiven 1988 och den andra 2006. Syftet är att undersöka vilka likheter och skillnader som finns mellan texterna och att undersöka vilken bild av hinduismen som böcker presenterar. Undersökningen handlar om just likheter och skillnader men jag kommer även att undersöka om och i så fall vilka värderingar av religionen som framträder i böckerna.

Syftet med studien var att observera hur förskolebarn kommunicerar och samspelar vid datorn, både verbalt och icke-verbalt. Syftet var även att belysa pedagogers uppfattningar om barns kommunikation och samspel och hur de organiserar datoranvändandet i verksamheten.Studien är av kvalitativ karaktär där videoobservationer och intervjuer användes. Totalt observerades 7 barn i 4-5 års ålder och 4 pedagoger intervjuades.Resultatet visade att barnen kommunicerade på olika sätt, detta delades in i 6 skilda kategorier: kommunikation om planering, emotionell kommunikation, icke-datorrelaterad kommunikation, kommunikation med spelets auditiva funktioner, kommunikation med datorn som person och kommunikation om spelet. Som mest höll sig kommunikationen om spelet som barnen spelade. Kroppsspråket bestod till störst del av gester i form av pekningar och vi märkte att gesterna hjälpte till där språket fattades.

This paper is about cemetaries in a multireligious society. The aim of the work is to compare the physical expressions of different religions burial traditions, in order to plan a multireligious cemetary in Borås. I´ve studied the five worldreligions, Judaism, Chritstianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism.

The purpose of this paper is to study the connection between Taoism and analytical psychology. This is done by descriptive text analysis of post-jungian literature. Often mentioned when searching for the inspirations and influences on analytical psychology we find references to alchemy, Buddhism, Gnosticism, Hinduism and the hermetic tradition. More seldom do we meet any references to Taoism. My aim is to investigate what gravity do the post-jungians attach to the taoism influence on C.G.

Indien har överlag varit ett patriarkalt samhälle där männen har stått över kvinnorna. I gudavärlden inom hinduismen nämns många gudinnor. Råder ett lika patriarkalt förhållande i gudavärlden? Den här frågan har varit grunden för den här studien. Syftet med studien var att jämföra kvinnliga med manliga gudar genom att läsa om hur andra författare framställt dem.

I detta arbete utförs en granskning av läroböcker i religionskunskap för grundskolans senare år och gymnasiet. I granskningen undersöks hur läroböckerna hanterar religiösa värderingar som inte stämmer överens med den svenska skolans värdegrund. Hur hanteringen av dessa värderingar yttrat sig i beskrivningar av religionerna buddhismen, hinduismen, islam, judendomen och kristendomen har även relaterats till begreppet andrafiering. Resultaten visar att hanteringen av värdegrundskonflikter i stor utsträckning kan anses vara undermålig utifrån Skolverkets krav på diskussion och tydliga ställningstaganden för värdegrunden. Hanteringen har även visat tecken på att skilja sig beroende på vilken religion som framställts.
