This masters thesis consists of a translation of acts I-IV from Dion Boucicault?s play London Assurance, a theoretical comment on the translation and a comparative study of asides. It is divided into four parts: an introduction, presenting the work and my translation strategy, as well as a short stylistic analysis; source text and translation; a theoretical comment, mainly based on theories from the field of Translation Studies, but also theories on lingustics and literature; and a comparative study of the use of asides as a theatrical convention in English and Swedish drama.The main focus of my translation strategy is to keep or adapt features that give the audience a sense of the cultural context where the play takes place, as well as the time ? fashionable society in early Victorian England, while providing a text that is performable and speakable for the actors, and which preserves the humor present in the source text. .

Detta examensarbete behandlar ämnet dramapedagogik och vilken funktion, position och status ämnet har haft i de läroplaner som utgivits från och med Läroplan för grundskolan 1962 (Lgr62). Materialet som undersökts är framför allt kapitlet Svenska i samtliga läroplaner, men även den allmänna delen och ett antal debattartiklar om ämnet drama i skolundervisning. Den tidigare forskningen som gjorts inom samma område är inte omfattande och berör inte ämnet ur vår vinkling, vilket gör vårt examensarbete relevant och spännande. Tidigare forskning visar att dramapedagogik i skolundervisning generellt har haft en låg position, både över tid och utanför Sverige. Samtidigt visar forskning hur gynnsamt drama i undervisning är för lärandet och att estetiska skolämnen fyller en funktion i dagens informationstäta samhälle, som stöd för att tolka och bearbeta all information som omvärlden ger oss.Som grund för arbetet har vi använt läroplansteori, eftersom det ger en förståelse över hur våra forskningsobjekt, läroplanstexterna, är uppbyggda.

The purpose with this study is to gain understanding about student´s view of mathematical education, in the later years of nine-year compulsory school, and the motivation factors that can be identified when student´s gives opportunity to express their own thoughts due to the mathematical education. From experiences we have gained during the practical part of our teachers education we got the impression that student´s think that the mathematical education is boring and uninteresting. Through qualitative methods such as survey and discussions in focus group we have analyzed student´s views of mathematical education and pointed out witch motivation factors that are expressed when student´s gives opportunity to influence over their own education. The results are shown from the answers and comments that student´s gave, during the survey and focus group, and is divided into two main parts, both with focus on motivation ?Mathematics and motivation? and ?Student´s influence and motivation? and also a summery part ?Motivated for mathematical education when the student is given influence over the education?. The study showed that student´s wants to have more difference in the work methods that are used in their mathematical education such as problem solving, games, more work in groups and pairs and more use of IT. In conclusion the study also gives suggestions to other studies that can be made in the same genre as this study in the way that IT can be used in mathematical education and how student´s interest can be used in the education to gain more motivated student´s..

Detta examensarbete handlar om hur berättandedrama kan stimulera till samspel och kommunikation mellan barnen och om hur barns lärande kan uppstår under dessa omständigheter. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, som ser lärande som socialt och kontextuellt betingat. Av särskilt intresse är hur barnen samspelar och kommunicerar med varandra under berättandedramats tre områden: berättande, bokskapande och drama. Den empiriska delen av studien har genomförts med hjälp av videoobservationer vid nio aktivitetstillfällen. Mot bakgrund av studiens empiriska undersökning framträder fyra utmärkande drag som de som i huvudsak kännetecknar kommunikation och samspel mellan barnen under berättandedrama, nämligen barnens tendens att: använda konkreta föremål och egen kropp vid samspelet, ge och söka bekräftelse, stötta varandra och förhandla med varandra.  Sammantaget präglas barns samspel och kommunikation under berättandedrama av konkretisering, bekräftelsebehov, stöttning och förhandling.
