Detta examensjobb fokuserar på hur lärare själva ser på fenomenet ledarskap i skolan, och hur de uppfattar att detta påverkar lärandet i skolan. Arbetet är inspirerad av den fenomenografiska ansatsen men den är samtidigt även en kvalitativ studie. Studien kommer visa att lärare har en uppfattning om att det mest grundläggande för ett bra ledarskap är att man som lärare har en bra relation till eleverna, och att ledarskapet i sig är det mest grundläggande vi har i skolan för att ha ett fungerande klassrumsklimat. Ledarskapet visar sig även vara viktigt för att eleverna ska lära sig så mycket som möjligt i skolan, och att det är grundstenen för att motivera eleverna till att lära..

This thesis describes the introduction of Web 2.0 education into Swedish LIS education with emphasis on the driving forces and obstacles in the process. It also discusses the possibilities of estimating the appropriate time for the start of new educational courses introducing new technologies, when it is uncertain if the technologies in question will sustain for a long enough period of time to make the educational effort worthwhile. The data on the Web 2.0 education was collected during the spring of 2010 from the Web pages of the five LIS departments in Sweden, namely Borås, Lund, Umeå, Uppsala and Växjö, as well as by 10 interviews during November and December 2010 with two representatives from each LIS department..The key finding is that Web 2.0 is covered in Swedish LIS education and embracing both practical and theoretical issues. The main driving forces have been both the needs of the profession and an academic research interest. It is concluded that Rogers??S-curves? as described in ?Diffusion of Innovation? can be used as a tool in order to improve the understanding of when to introduce education in new technologies.

AimThe aim of this essay is to investigate the possibility to exercise climbing within the framework of the physical education in the obligatory school. We investigated how physical education teachers think about exercising climbing in school and how the Swedish Climbing Association is working to reach out to schools.MethodA questionnaire was sent out to 81 schools (Idrottshögskolans partner schools) in suburban Stockholm, which corresponds to 10% of the total amount of schools in that area. A mail interview was also made with a representative for the Swedish Climbing Association who also represented a local climbing association, to collect information about how they worked with schools and youth.ResultsWe have not found anything in the steering documents against exercising climbing during physical education. There are obstacles for exercising climbing during physical education, a wall for climbing is very expensive and the schools have a lack of space for this wall. The results from the questionnaire showed that 76% of all the schools that did not have a wall for climbing wanted to have one.

The purpose of this thesis is to find out if principals and teachers have experience, expectations and thoughts about the differences that the new Education Act means in relation to the old one about action programme. Through qualitative interviews with two principals and four teachers, I have tried to answer my research questions that I have made based on the purpose. The questions are: How do the interviewees describe the routines about action programme?  Has, according to the interviewees, the routines been changed with the new Education Act? How do teachers and principals experience the differences between the old and new Education Act regarding the action programmes?The results of my survey shows that the process of action programme is different at different schools and that it has been adapted to the new Education Act in varying degrees. These results give differences in the experiences of the new directives.

Dagens organisationer utvecklas mot en allt mer digitaliserad framtid präglad av ledarskap förmedlat via digitala medier. Frågan om vilka egenskaper samt beteenden kommer att få större betydelse för ledarskapet i relation till digitaliseringen, blir av allt större betydelse i och med den allt större användningen av digitala medier mellan ledare och anställda. Syftet med studien var att undersöka de tre olika ledarskapsstilarna personal-, produkt- och förändringsinriktad i relation till användning av digitala medier, utifrån de anställdas uppfattningar.

Försvarsmakten har sedan 2003 använt Gerry Larssons teori om det utvecklande ledarskapet som grund för ledarskap inom organisationen. Teorin anses vara gångbar såväl i militära sammanhang som i civila organisationer. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån Försvarsmaktens ledarskapsmodell om Det utvecklandeledarskapet undersöka till vilken grad modellen tillämpas vid flygvapnets divisioner. Delar av frågeformuläret Utvecklande Ledarskap Ledarbedömning användes för att kartlägga den genomsnittlige ledarstilen.

Denna studie kom till för att undersöka hur kvinnligt ledarskap tolkas på det statligt ägda företaget Svenska Spel. Sverige är ett land som har klara riktlinjer för hur jämställdhetsarbete skall bedrivas och allt fler kvinnor framträder idag på höga positioner. Syftet med föreliggande undersökning var att öka vår förståelse för hur kvinnligt ledarskap på Svenska Spel uppfattas och få en inblick i de kvinnliga chefernas upplevelse samt ta del av de manliga chefernas resonemang. Elva chefer har intervjuats och sedan bearbetades dessa intervjuer utifrån en induktiv tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att kvinnorna upplever en viss ambivalens i sin roll som kvinna och chef.

Practical and theoretical learning are methods that are used in schools as a way to prepare students for the working life. Within the practical learning knowledge is not only acquired to learn in practice, but the students must also be able to apply their theoretical knowledge to what he/she does. Against this background, the aim of the study was to investigate the importance of practical learning for students in college / university level and how they are experiencing the stress that may arise out of the loss of practical learning during their education, as well as their vision for working life after completing their education. The population of the study consisted of N = 36, which 18 of these had used both practical and theoretical learning and the remainder had only used theoretical learning. The method was a questionnaire survey with a high proportion of fixed alternative answers according to likert scales.

The aim of this study is to bring forward four teachers of Arts-education, their statements and reasoning concerning the condition and meaning of the subject of Arts-education along with their statements in relation to theory and earlier research, give voice and insight in their intentions according to what teaching of Arts-education should contribute to.The basis for the study is brought out of the dilemma that there, in the subject of Artseducation is ?crowding of matter? in the nine-year compulsory school, difficulties in selecting the importance of various subjects and different opinions between teachers, due to curriculum being modified in accordance with the development in society. The earlier research that this study relates to shows how teacher?s opinion of different subjects varies. My questions concerning the subject are the following;How do four teachers of Arts-education reason concerning the condition and meaning of the subject of Arts-education?What are the teachers intentions according to what teaching of Arts-education should contribute to?What are the similarities and differences between the statements of the teachers in this study versus the teachers' statements according to previous research?To find answers on my issues and questions I have made interviews with four teachers of Arts-education and have then put their reasoning and statements against theories , which  all concerns the creative process.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka och skapa större förståelse för arbetsledares upplevelse av stress och stressorers påverkan på deras ledarskap och arbete. Artiklar, litteratur och elektroniska dokument med fokus på pedagogik, ledarskap, stress och socialt stöd har studerats för att få fram fakta på hur stress och stressorer påverkar individen i arbetsmiljön. En kvalitativ metod med intervjuer, med utgångspunkt i en fenomenografisk forskningsansats, användes för att ta reda på hur arbetsledare upplevde att stress och stressorer påverkade deras ledarskap och arbete. Den teoretiska referensramen bestod av Karasek & Theorells krav-kontroll-stöd modellen, Siegrists ansträngnings/belöningsmodellen och Antonovskys KASAM modellen. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att det fanns ett tydligt samband mellan arbetsrelaterad stress och ett bristande pedagogiskt ledarskap.
