Detta arbete handlar om möjligheten att inkludera mystika erfarenheter i religionsundervisningen. Jag har utgått från en intervjustudie med lärare. Studien startade med tre huvudfrågor. För det första tillfrågades lärare om de i samklang med läroplan och kursplan kunde undervisa i mystik? För det andra ställdes frågan om det finns svårigheter och didaktiska dilemman som lärare möter i mystikundervisningen? Slutligen frågades om mystikundervisningen kan bidra till meningsfullt lärande?Några lärare såg en möjlighet, några andra dementerade att mystikundervisningen ryms inom kurs- och läroplanens ramar.

The swedish law of contract is fundamental within several civil law areas, among others labour law. The labour law contains more explicit legislation specificly adapted to the relation between employers and employees. Sometimes the labour law needs to rely on more general regulations, such as the law of contract. When the situation contains a specific contract relation dilemma it is logical to use the law of contract, when for example the law of employee protection does not reach an acceptabel solution.Transfer of undertaking is a situation were the employee protection is disregarded. The Euro directive 2001/23/EG prescribes, by its implemented rules in the law of employee protection, that rights and duties, such as employement agreements, passes on to the earner of the business.

Studien syftar till att öka musiklärarens förståelse för elevernas uppfattning om fördelar och nackdelar med dagens gängse undervisningsmetoder. Jag har i min undersökning utgått från faktorer som jag funnit i tidigare undersökningar som visat sig vara viktiga för musikundervisningens kvalité. Genom en intervjuundersökning har ett antal elever fått beskriva vad de uppfattat av specifika moment, som att lära sig sitt första ackord på gitarr. Samt skillnaden mellan att lära sig spela nya ackord på gitarr nu och i början. Svaren har sedan jämförts med vad som tidigare framhållits som viktiga faktorer för att uppnå god kvalitet på undervisningen.

The theme of this essay is literacy training in pre-school. The theme takes it starting point in a project, where my colleagues and I noticed our children playing with writing and symbols. It leads to an exciting, reflecting and developing project, a project that will go on for six months together with twenty children in the age of five and six.The essay describes how I and the rest of the staff work with the project, and also how we try to find challenges that are meaningful for our children. When we worked with the project I ended up in a dilemma how I as a teacher was to retain the children?s joy and curiosity for writing without making it boring.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analysera läromedel som är publicerat på lektion.se och som har direkt anknytning till litteraturundervisning. Jag gör en kvalitativ textanalys av materialet och undersöker vilka frågor materialet ställer om litteraturen och hur uppgifterna är formulerade, för att därigenom undersöka vilken undervisningspraktik materialet speglar. I min teoretiska tolkning använder jag tre perspektiv på tolkning av text: sändarcentrerat perspektiv, textcentrerat perspektiv och läsar- och erfarenhetsbaserat perspektiv. Två andra centrala teoretiska begrepp är litterär kompetens och matchningsteknik. Jag kommer fram till att mycket av materialet är utformat med kontrollfrågor till de litterära texter som frågorna och uppgifterna riktar sig till.

This essay follows a Media Teacher in her work as a coordinator and an artistic leader for a European project called Legalopoli concerning laws and ethics in a senior level school for 13-16 year-olds in Mora, Sweden. The students write film stories about how their characters have to make choices in ethical dilemma situations. Then the learners create interactive computer games together through practical film work. At the same time we can see how the educator also gets into difficult ethical situations, when she is working with the students. This forces her to self-reflection.

SammanfattningSyftet med vår uppsats är att problematisera och diskutera barns lek, med särskild inriktning mot barn som har eller hamnar i leksvårigheter. Vi studerar barn som har eller hamnar i leksvårigheter utifrån två olika perspektiv; det individorienterade perspektivet och det sociokulturella perspektivet. Vår första frågeställning är: Vilka beskrivningar ges i litteraturen av barn som har eller hamnar i leksvårigheter? Vilket/vilka perspektiv på lek utgår författarna från? Här finner vi att vilket perspektiv författare utgår från kan ses utifrån vilka begrepp de använder för att beskriva barns lek. I det individorienterade perspektivet fokuseras individens utveckling och personlighet och här studeras barn utan att se sammanhanget som de befinner sig i beträffande leksituationen.

This essay is about how basic democratic values are formed in preschool. I have focused on children´s abilities to take on responsibility and also, on the importance of relationships in the development of democratic values in preschool.This essay starts in self-perceived dilemmas, based on my own feeling that the children should have more rights and that the preschool often has too many unreflected rules and routines. The dilemma has been reflected on and has been discussed in relation to other theories. I have also reflected on my own behavior as a teacher and to what extent this behavior has influence on the outcome.The relationship between the governing documents and the work in preschool has been reviewed with the conclusion that they are not synchronized with each other.The investigation shows several examples of the meaning of a good working relationship between teacher and child and that children´s own sense of responsibility should be taken seriously and be recognized as a resource.In the discussion with the theories a connection between democracy, relationships and children´s responsibility was detected. The meaning of a good working communication and the teacher?s significance for the development is central and is made visible and problematized.The concluding words show how the approach to democratic and fundamental values must come to a change in preschools, a change that the teacher partly is responsible for.

There is little doubt that the digital technology has played a major role in reshaping the ways in which we experience the world. In a few decades the Internet has become a vast repository for knowledge and ideas. New arenas where people may meet and fraternize have emerged, and with the help of various digital tools and websites, the production of new material has increased to an almost unfathomable level.But all is not well on the digital front. As the Internet has become a crucial part of our everyday life, certain skills in handling digital media has become very important to master. A well-developed ability to navigate through this ocean of information is needed, and knowledge in managing the risky nature of the internet is critical.

The Swedish society has trough decades developed into a multicultural society. Minority groups such as Sami have been a part of the country for a long time. By being separated from the majority through culture, language etc. minorities demand the right to become independent and have the ability to practice their culture. History show that minorities all over the world have been discriminated and abused by the majorities. Democratic procedures are often advantages for the majority.

This Master's thesis examines segregation between Swedes and immigrants in school, and more specifically segregation between the two elementary schools Vikingaskolan and Tunaskolan in Lund. This case provides a particularly interesting puzzle, since Lund doesn?t have any pronounced immigrant districts, and was also recognized nationally as best municipality for its schools (2004). In this thesis we try to understand the segregation between the two schools in Lund as an implementation dilemma.The theoretical framework applies a model designed by Lennart Lundquist, which includes three potential causes for implementation problems: the implementer doesn?t understand the decision, the implementer can?t apply the decision, the implementer doesn?t want to carry out the decision.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete har varit att undersöka hur elever uppfattar begreppet energi i årskurs 5. Teorierna vi valde att utgå från grundar sig på ett konstruktivistiskt- och sociokulturellt perspektiv. Inom den tidigare forskningen presenteras fyra olika undersökningar, varav två är genomförda med äldre elever/studenter och två är genomförda med yngre elever. Vi har valt att använda undersökningar som är genomförda med äldre elever/studenter eftersom vi inte hittat mycket genomförd forskning i årskurs 5. I vår metod valde vi att använda oss av enkäter och intervjuer.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att studera vilka idéer som ligger till grund för 2009 års Kulturutredning och om den genomsyras av de idéer som inför de administrativa förändringar som kopplas till New Public Management. Detta undersöktes genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av Kulturutredningens betänkande. New Public Management (NPM) är en uppsättning idéer om hur man organiserar och styr offentlig verksamhet och har påverkat verksamheter inom bland annat vård, omsorg och skola de senaste decennierna. Dessa idéer innebär ökat fokus på uppföljning och utvärdering samt att kvalitet kopplas till kostnadseffektivitet. Man sätter upp mål, operationaliserar dem till mätbara prestationer som kopplas till finansiering.
