Education in Swedish sport is mainly based on traditional learning that requires a lot of time and effort, which could be a barrier for trainers since they report a lack of time as a consequence of their commitment as a leader. The Swedish sports movement has noticed some trends that could be seen as influential on the future directions of sport. One of these trends is a changing way of communication where people today communicate to a greater extent with the use of digital technology. The Swedish sports movement has to relate to this and follow the evolution. The use of e-learning has increased in higher education and organizations over the past decades.

The purpose is to analyze if the students have any use of their computer education at a senior high school level or if there is a demand for them to proceed studying. Does the students background have any importance or is it their own motivation that makes the student advance to higher education.In this report we ask ourselves the question, if the students have any use of the knowledge gained at senior high school in computer studies at a higher level. Do the students have any chance for employment based on their senior high school grades in computer studies after graduation?  Do the schools that follow the senior high school guidelines within programming and databases give these students an advantage towards those that have not received the same fundamental education?The method used for the survey is a group questionnaire.  The questionnaire was distributed at one and the same time and then collected to examine the results. The survey results showed that students who seek work based only on their senior high school grades, received only a temporary position for different lengths of time.

Sammanfattning Kunskap skaffas genom att tänka, känna och handla. Pedagogiskt drama har inte till syfte att fostra individen till att spela teater, utan det är en metod där individen tränar sig i att på ett kreativt sätt uttrycka sina tankar och känslor. Resultatet av detta blir ökat självförtroende och individen blir en självständigt tänkande person. Jag ville prova att använda mig av rollspel, som baseras på teorier av Dorothy Heathcote och Gavin Bolton. Grundtanken med rollspel inom pedagogik, är att ge varje individ möjlighet till att skaffa sig ny kunskap, bearbeta med kunskap på ett djupare sätt för att få större förståelse, tänka självständigt och genomföra olika lösningar av ett konkret problem och integrera olika ämnen för att få en helhetssyn.

The purpose of the study is to illustrate the choices of sports profiled education amongst pupils in the upper secondary school. Special attention is brought to whether there exist any differences between team- and individual competitors in their view on sport and education. One hypothesis that constitutes the base of the study is that pupils from lower social class, in a higher extent, tend to be team competitors and choose sport activities prior education. The result has been interpreted against Bourdieu's cultural sociology, in which the central concepts are habitus and cultural- and economic capital. The method that has been used is quantitative in the form of a questionnaire study which 277 pupils have answered.                   The result shows that the sportsmen, regardless type of sport, are not influenced by social position regarding choice of education and in their view on education and studies.

The aim of this master thesis is to study how teachers in adult education view the phenomenon of information seeking in education. We have interviewed adult education teachers, and the method used when working with the data was phenomenography. We found three categories in our material: 1. Information seeking is the student?s responsibility; 2.

The purpose of this study is to explain the development of the first higher technical education in Trollhättan, with the added perspective of Trollhättans strong industrial profile as a city. The interesting thing being that the city did not try to first and foremost get a regular higher education, but a technical higher education instead. The study describes the political twists and turns the question took from its most early stage in the year 1940 and how the city's industrial profile did indeed have an impact on the development of the first higher technical education. Especially because there was a need for educated engineers in the city, as well as the country of Sweden in large during this time. The study also tries to explain the problems related to such a development, primarily by describing the lack of sufficient housing for schools during the 1950's, this meant that the higher regular school and the higher technical school had to cooperate in finding said housing.

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka vilken uppfattning pedagoger har av att använda de estetiska ämnena musik, bild och drama som ett integrerat arbetssätt i samband med läs- och skrivinlärning. Utifrån syftet har följande problemformulering preciserats med två tillhörande underfrågor: Vilken uppfattning har pedagoger i år ett och två om de estetiska ämnena musik, bild och drama i integration med läs- och skrivinlärning??Hur ser deras egen verksamhet ut inom läs- och skrivinlärning??Hur ser de på sin egen roll som pedagog i läs- och skrivinlärningsprocessen? Undersökningen har utförts genom att studera litteratur inom området och för att besvara syftet har det gjorts en empirisk undersökning i form av kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet visar att samtliga respondenter i undersökningen ser positivt på att integrera de estetiska ämnena i läs- och skrivinlärning. De flesta respondenter i undersökningen väljer att kombinera olika metoder vid läs och skrivinlärning.

By studying literature concerning design, didactics and reflection, and complementing those explorations with interviews with experienced design educators, this thesis challenges the idea of aesthetic media education being purely aesthetic in its characteristics. Drawing from their own experiences as a media aesthetics educator and an industrial designer, the two authors argue that the work flow used within most fields of design, commonly known as the design process, might provide a suitable didactic alternative to a field of education lacking relevant methodology. The literature study offers a better understanding of the design process and how it may be defined and viewed within an educational context. The interviews provide a more practical insight into the world of design education. The result shows that the design process as a didactical method theoretically offers both elements of critical thinking as well as direction and frames for students lacking aesthetic and artistic experience.

Individual Education Plans and the means of creating a sustainable platform for children with learning difficulties is a subject of vast discussion. The original idea was to create a system in which the documentation of certain students with learning difficulties would lead to precautions being taken in order to eradicate difficulties and improve student?s abilities to excel in studies. However, in practice, the IEPs proved less functioning and the special needs of students were not attained accordingly to the theoretical approach. In some aspects the IEPs were a helpful tool to create sustainability for students with special needs, but in the long term the IEPs seemed to provide less support and more segregation.

Vi har genomfört en studie om estetiska uttrycksformer i förskolan och grundskolan. Syftet med denna undersökning är att belysa estetiska lärprocesser i förskola och skola ur ett barn/elev- och lärarperspektiv samt ta del av lärarnas och barnens/elevernas tankar om estetik och estetiska uttrycksformer. Vårt intresse för lärandet via estetiken samt språkutveckling har avgjort valet av innehåll i denna studie. De metoder vi använde i vår studie var barn och elevsamtal, observationer och intervjuer. Resultatet visade att alla barn tycker att estetiska uttrycksformer är roligt och att kreativiteten gör förskolan och skolan rolig.

This study has examined how teachers in primary education with experience of inclusion look on inclusive education. The study was based on the concept of inclusion and how it is made possible in primary school. The study was conducted using semi-structured qualitative life-world interviews with three teachers in primary education with included pupils with learning disabilities in their class. The results show the complexity of having a pupil with learning disabilities in class. To interpret, follow and then assess under two syllabuses are seen as difficult.

The purpose of this study is to highlight how Swedish primary school teachers teach of and about democracy and based on this then compare with how the primary school teachers in South Africa teaches of and about democracy. This comparison will then highlight what can be developed in the teaching of and about democracy in Swedish schools. The method used in this study is mind maps because it gives a greater depth in the way teachers look at teaching democracy. The result of this comparison is that South Africa's history pervades the entire democracy education in school but both Sweden and South Africa use methods as dialogue and discussion in teaching of and about democracy. Furthermore, the community, curriculum, teacher and cooperation with other teachers also have an influence on how democracy's teaching looks like in schools.
