During my education I have frequently noticed that pupils do not like science or find it hard and dull. The purpose with this investigation is to find out how pupils experience their science education and if they can understand the arguments for studying the subject at school.I have made a questionnaire study among pupils in grade 8 and 9. After analyzing their answers I have interviewed some of the pupils to get answers on further questions.The investigation resulted in conclusion that pupils have hard to connect their science-education to their everyday lives. The most important element in forming the pupil?s opinions about science is their relation to the teacher and how the lessons are set-up.The following questions will be answered in this paper:Do pupils understand why they have science at school?Can the pupils see the use of scientific knowledge in their everyday life?How do pupils look upon their science education?.

I min studie vill jag undersöka och belysa hur gestaltande lekpedagogik som arbetsprocess kan startas upp och fortlöpa. För att få förskollärares egna berättelser och perspektiv väljer jag att använda mig av intervju som metod. Jag utgår ifrån Lindqvists teori (1996) om gestaltande lekpedagogik. Lindqvist menar att ett gestaltande arbetssätt låter de teoretiska och de estetiska ämnena samarbeta. Lekvärldar byggs upp och gestaltningar genomförs, barnen får en mening och lärandet blir lustfyllt.
