The purpose of my study is to examine if the total study results differ between music Classes and regular Classes. Are there higher grades in music Classes? If so, what are the causes for this? I chose to make an inquiry at two schools in different town districts, with music Classes. At those schools I also collected data of pupils grades, and was informed by the principals and the music teachers about the activities. The number of respondents were ninety.The inquiry showed that the grades were markedly better in music Classes, and that you can see great differences in well-being, parental engagement and ambition level, compared to regular Classes.

This work deals with mathematics teaching in preschool Classes. The purpose of my study is to investigate the preschool Classes? teachers' aspirations for the children learning mathematics in two different preschools. To achieve my goal, I formulated the following questions to be explored and answered through interviews with five teachers.  Does mathematics in preschool Classes have a prominent role in educators' planning? What perception do the educators in the field have about the learning and teaching of mathematics in the preschool Classes? How do the teachers understand their own work with mathematics in preschool Classes in relation to multilingual students?                                A qualitative interview method was applied.

The main purpose of this thesis is to examine what problems may arise when converting class symbols from one classification scheme to another. In order to fulfill this purpose, a conversion table between parts of the Swedish online-version of the UDC and the Swedish classification system SAB was constructed. For main Classes 0 and 3 every class number from this abridged version of the UDC was converted, whereas for the rest of the main Classes only class numbers with fewer than four figures were converted. The conversion table was constructed using the alphabetical index of SAB and different UDC-indexed library catalogues. Various aspects of the conversion table were then analysed using methods mainly devised by the authors themselves, but inspired by lexicography and multilingual thesaurus construction.

Bullying is a big problem in schools and many children are afraid of go to school. There are many methods and measures to prevent bullying, but bullying is still remains. This study is about the differences and similarities between methods to prevent bullying at two Classes.

The purpose of this work is to providing a general set of base Classes for building simulators, for example a robot system. Instead of every time building a new simulator from the beginning, you get the already completed components from a library. The library should in that way act as a springboard for development.To do this work, there?s a lot of knowledge required in how a general robot system could look like. Therefore it was necessary to gather some information about robotics.

This study is about different teacher?s ´conception of remedial Classes and its function in Today´s School. ?A school for everyone? the utopia that all schools and teachers aspire for. All pupils, regardless of ethnic background, class, and religious affiliation should be able to go to school without being segregated and are seen as different.

The aim of this study was to investigate how four families in the Stockholm area reason, what kind of preconception they have and what their horizon of expectations is when they make the choice between sending their children to the profile class of municipal/free schools and sending them to the general Classes in those schools. The main research questions asked were:What kind of preconception do the parents have about profile Classes?What reasons do the interviewed parents have to send their children to a profile class?What are the interviewed parent?s expectations of the profile class choice?The study is built on qualitative interviews with the parents of the families. The empirical data has been analyzed using a framework of theories drawing on the theory of reproduction, the forms of social capital, the ideas created from the word profile and elite and the horizon of expectations. The results show that the parents of the families have a similar degree of preconception about profile Classes.

My interest in examining what happens when you as a teenager are exposed to five or six times the amount of time as ordinary Classes to music education derrives from my own experience as a music teacher at a school which has those kind of special music Classes. During my career as a music teacher in grades 4 ? 9 in Swedish compulsory school I have taught music Classes as well as ordinary Classes for 18 years. During this time I have often wondered what this exposure means in retrospect. Is it the conquering and mastering of music skills that students remember when they?ve grown up to young adults, or is it something else?The aim of this study is to find out what it means for teenagers to have music as a school subject every day of their years in Swedish high school.

I have done a comparative gender study of Library of Congress Classification from 1900 and 2001. I have also used a hermeneutic method and ideological critics to find out what picture of women the both systems shows. In my comparative study of the both systems I have found low update of Classes which relates to women in the new classification system. Men seem to be a norm in the system, because men are not defined in Classes related to both men and women. But many Classes related to women are named Women as and Women in The study also shows that women are more related to subjects about family and marriage than men are.

Abstract Abstract The aim of this essay was to investigate the level of the organizational state of readiness for receiving students with learning disabilities in Classes specialized in working with students recently arrived in Sweden, called förberedelseklasser, which could be translated as preparational Classes. I tried to do so by answering two questions: *What routines do principals believe that the particular School has for dealing with cases in which a student in a preparational class is suspected to have some form of learning disability? *What perception do teachers have in regards to whether or not the system at their School is well prepared for discovering and aiding students in preparational Classes suspected to have learning disabilities? The first question was directed to principals currently working in schools where a large part of the students are bilingual, and many of those recently arrived in Sweden. The second question was aimed at teachers that work in preparational Classes. By interviewing two principals and three teachers I came to the conclusion that the teachers believe that their students are often misplaced in preparational Classes when in deed they should be placed in a special educations group. My essay also shows that both principals and teachers are dissatisfied with the amount of time the process of discovering, investigating and diagnosing a student with learning disabilities takes.

The purpose of this study was to compare reading development assessments with writing assessments to create an understanding about the relationship between the reading and writing ability of children. Another aim of the study was to look at other factors that cohere with the ability to read and write, such as background and socio-economic status. Our hypothesis was that explicit instruction in writing is necessary to develop good writing skills. We chose to conduct a quantitative study containing an inquiry, a dictation and a writing task. We compared our results with reading assessments based on a reading development schedule (LUS).
