Syftet med denna uppsats är att med en kvalitativ metod undersöka om dramapedagogiska övningar kan vara ett verktyg i undervisning av Argentinsk tango. Genom respondentintervju har jag försökt fånga elevernas upplevelse av dramapedagogiska övningar, om de tycker att det kan vara ett redskap för att utveckla kroppsmedvetenhet. Min intention med uppsatsen är att synliggöra dramapedagogiska övningar i undervisningen av Argentinsk tango. Utifrån detta har jag tittat på om det i förlängningen kan förenkla lärandet av steg och sekvenser. Svaren från intervjuerna har sammanställts och sedan bearbetats och analyserats genom valda begrepp utifrån litteraturen.

The present BSc thesis is part of a newly established collaboration between the Swedish zoo Skansen and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), and constitutes of an inventory of the Nairobi Animal Orphanage (AO). As a refuge for wild animals found orphaned, abandoned or injured throughout Kenya, the AO has grown over the years and reached an unsustainable point where external help is needed for solutions and improvements. The aim of the inventory is to specifically consider the husbandry and enclosures of spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta), serval (Felis serval), Sykes? monkey (Cercopithecus albogularis) and vervet monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) and with the aid of facts about the species, estimate how well their biological needs are satisfied. Different educational elements are also reviewed since one of the main purposes of the AO is for education.

Several studies has identified the locker room experience as a potential deterrent for participation in physical education. Both psychological and physical issues arise due to several factors. Psychological issues include different kinds of verbal and physical violations, comparisons between pupils, feeling of vulnerability along with a stressful schedule. The physical environment can contribute to negative experience for pupils in terms of filthy premises and cold showers. These factors may contribute to higher absentee rates in physical education.

Att gräva där man står är en kvalitativ och hermeneutisk studie som undersöker vad utövare av de förtrycktas teater har för målsättningar och vad de vill förändra. Intervjuer ifrån åtta utövare/teatergrupper i Brasilien och Argentina kategoriseras i resultatdelen utifrån sex olika målsättningar: skapa forum, politisk förändring, att gräva där man står, anpassning och terapi,personlig utveckling, styrkan i att arbeta i grupp. Vidare presenteras två olika nivåer som utövarna verkar på: en samhällelig och en individuell nivå. Metodens potential att förändra och utövarnas målsättningar förstås sedan i tolkningsdelen med hjälp av forskning på området som tar sitt avstamp i Marx och Bourdieus teoretiska ramverk.

Syftet med det här utvecklingsarbetet var att få djupare kunskaper om hur pedagoger kan använda sig av sagor och samtidigt ge barnen möjligheter att uttrycka sig med olika estetiska uttrycksformer så som bildskapande, dramatisering, sång och återberättande. Vi valde ut sagan om bockarna Bruse som sagotema där barnen under fyra tillfällen samlades för olika estetiska aktiviteter.  Arbetet genomfördes i en förskola på två olika avdelningar parallellt. Därefter dokumenterades aktiviteterna genom att observera och föra loggboksanteckningar. Vi fick under arbetet upp ögonen för vilka möjligheter det finns i att arbeta med sagan som tema men även hur viktiga våra förberedelser, vårt förhållningssätt och miljön är i förskolan. Arbetet med de estetiska uttrycksformerna ledde till ett lustfyllt och utvecklande lärande hos barnen.

The reindeer planning system (Renbruksplanen, RBP) is a communication and planning tool designed for Sami groups. A key purpose of this is that it will act as a tool in consultation with other market players, including forestry. Sami groups have asked for a model of how this can be used in a flexible manner. With the Swedish Forest Agency as a project manager, a communication model for how to use the RBP has been designed. It consists of a number of points divided into ?before?, ?during? and ?after? the consultation.

Finding out that it is mostly bad planning and trouble getting the schedule together that?s affecting the pupils in a negative way.

The aim of this two years master's thesis is to examine public librarians? views of their pedagogical role towards school children, and to illustrate the relationship between public libraries and schools as a background for the role of the public librarians.
