We have chosen to focus our study on conflicts and handling of conflicts in a classroom environment. We are addressing problems such as the teachers? roll in a conflict, the importance of solid leadership in the classroom, students? agency, defense mechanisms in coping with conflicts and so on. In this paper there is a review of different perspectives on conflict and of understanding why conflicts occur the different reasons for the conflicts. Our observation study took place in a grade three classroom, in a mid-sized town, during a regular school day.

The aim is to examine how teachers view their leadership, how leadership is used and developed, and what kind of perceptions teachers have of leadership and how it is important to their students.My questions are: In what ways can the teachers develop their leadership?In what ways can the teachers make use of leadership in the classroom?What do the teachers in the study consider to be a good leadership?What do the teachers inte the study think of their leadership and its´ importance to students? The study uses a qualitative research method and consists of interviews with four teachers working in a school south of Stockholm. The results of the study shows that teachers´ leadership in the classroom has a significance for students´ learning and development.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate when Swedish and English are used in English teaching and how the pupils view the importance of the classroom language for their language development. My research questions are ?In what situations is Swedish and English respectively spoken during the English lessons?? and ?What are the pupils' opinions concerning the significance of English and Swedish in the classroom for their language development??. To answer my questions, I have used relevant theoretical research and conducted two observations and two group interviews in a secondary school. The observations have given me an example of how it can function in the classroom and the interviews have given me the opportunity to hear the pupils' different perspectives on how it is done in the classroom and their different opinions concerning this matter. According to the research, it is of great importance that the pupils are offered the opportunity to use the English language as much as possible in the classroom.

This research explains and describes the role music notations may play in an unconventional way. The aim of this research is to show that by balancing composition, interpretation and improvisation, the performer(s) could produce or open the door to a reservoir of new sounds, which could emerge through a composer?s awareness of the need to balance these elements. That act of balancing depends on the musician?s interpretation through their interaction with the music notation, with their action process on the instrument and each other.

Syftet med studien är att definiera musikaliska redskap och plattformar för studenter i ämnet improvisation på eftergymnasial nivå. Mitt intresse för ämnet ligger i de positiva möjligheter improvisationen erbjuder vår undervisning och är utgångspunkten för detta arbete. Jag upplever att forskning som inriktar sig på improvisationsundervisningens didaktik för ensemble på högre nivå med fördel kan utökas från vad vi idag har att tillgå, därav utgår studien från ett didaktiskt perspektiv på undervisning. För att söka svar på mina frågor har jag använt mig av den kvalitativa forskningsintervjun i mötet med mina informanter. De fyra utvalda musiklärarna har alla undervisat improvisation i ensembleformat, de flesta med inriktning mot rytmisk och improviserad musik. I resultatet presenteras bland annat en syn hos de intervjuade musiklärarna som visar på vikten av ett personligt och ärligt musikutövande där den instrumentaltekniska färdigheten först får liv och mening då studenten har en konstnärlig åsikt att förmedla. Sedan diskuteras bland annat lärarnas kompetens som improvisationspedagoger i relation till Hanken och Johansens (1998) musikdidaktiska utgångspunkter, samt ämnets möjliga utveckling och framtida undervisningsstruktur..

The purpose of this dissertation has been to get a deeper understanding of how, when and why the English teachers of year 6-9 at a particular multilingual school use Swedish when they teach English in a multilingual classroom. Data were collected through notes taken during observations of two teachers during one lesson each. After observing the teachers I conducted one interview with them each. Swedish was used mostly when grammar was explained and when work was done with vocabulary. If Swedish dominated during a lesson or not, depended on what was being done during the lesson. The main reason given why the teachers used Swedish in teaching English was that they were not trained to teach English in a multilingual classroom where Swedish is not the first language of all the pupils. The teachers felt it was difficult to speak English during a whole lesson when they were teaching a group of pupils who had a low level of English..

The purpose of this study was to examine how four teachers with different teaching experiences treat and think about insubordination in school. The study emphasizes on questions like: When and why does disorder occur? How do the teachers manage disorderly conduct in the classroom? and Could there be a conflict between the teacher?s expectations and management, and the needs and motivation of the pupil?    It was evident through interviews with these four teachers that their statements could be divided into similar themes which subsequently could be put into the motivational structure of Abraham H. Maslow.       The conclusion of the study was that teachers may possibly have a better chance of managing disorder in their classroom if they are aware of the connection between disorderly conduct and a person?s needs and motivation. .

This is a case study where the purpose is to examine three youth workers view of the cooperation with the classroom teachers.This study was conducted through qualitative interviews, which are usually used when one wants to interpret or explain something. Unlike quantitative interviews, which are used when one is trying to measure something. I have used semi-structured interviews when I tried to answer my questions. My results showed that the three different informants collaborated with the school and classroom teachers in different ways, one of them had no scheduled time to plan with classroom teachers, while the other two had. Two of the informants worked in class during the mornings basically every day, the third one were in class for a few lessons.

Detta examensarbete handlar om flipped classroom i undervisningen. Syftet med arbetet är att öka förståelsen för vad flipped classroom kan innebära för lärare och hur det påverkar undervisningen genom att undersöka hur och varför lärare använder sig av flipped classroom, vad för material som används och hur det tillgängliggörs för eleverna samt hur elever uppfattar arbetssättet. Intervjuer har genomförs med gymnasielärare som tillämpar flipped classroom i matematikundervisningen och deras elever har fått besvara en enkät. Tanken är att undersöka lärarnas och elevernas uppfattningar för att försöka förstå hur flipped classroom påverkar undervisningen, fördelar och nackdelar som följer med flipped classroom samt även vilken betydelse flipped classroom har för elevernas lärande. Resultatet visade att lärare tillämpar flipped classroom på olika sätt. Det finns flera olika uppfattningar kring vad flipped classroom innebär.

Our intention with this study is to investigate teachers work in a multicultural classroom. For the purpose of this study, a web survey was constructed. The investigation was carried out among teachers on three different multicultural secondary schools in Sweden. 53 teachers informed us about their own experiences and thoughts concerning their work in a multicultural classroom. Conceptions as multiculturalism, methods in teaching, the climate in classrooms, teacher cultures and interculturalism has been used in the study.

Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka vad en erfaren improvisationsmusiker, Joakim Milder, anser vara betydelsefullt för att bli en god musiker och improvisatör. Resultaten kopplas till relevant litteratur och egna erfarenheter inom området. Arbetet grundas på en kvalitativ intervju med Joakim Milder och tar upp praktiska, mentala och andliga aspekter. Jag har kommit fram till att det handlar om att inte stå i vägen för musiken, det vill säga: målet är att uppnå en sådan nivå musikaliskt, teoretiskt, gehörsmässigt och mentalt, att man upplever total frihet att uttrycka sig konstnärligt på det sätt man önskar. En öppen, nyfiken attityd och ett intresse för improvisation underlättar lärandet.
