Mitt examensarbete har varit inriktat på elevinflytandet, och då i synnerhet på elevinflytande inom ämnet religion och livsfrågor. Arbetets syfte har varit att undersöka på vilket sätt elevinflytandet styr val av metod och det didaktiska urvalet i religionsundervisning och lärande i religion och livsfrågor. Om eleverna ansåg att de hade ett sådant inflytande som gav dem möjlighet att påverka och om de upplevde att deras åsikter respekterades i livsfrågediskussioner. Jag har studerat litteratur om elevinflytande och om religions- och livsfrågeundervisning, och dessutom de aktuella styrdokumenten. Som informationshämtande metod har jag använt mig av kvalitativ intervju av åtta elever i årskurs nio i en skola belägen i en småstad i Norrbotten.

BakgrundMänniskors trosföreställningar, religiositet och andlighet kan ha stor betydelse för deras önskningar om bemötande och behandling i en vårdsituation. Det finns omvårdnadsteoretiker som anser att det också ingår i sjuksköterskans uppgift att hjälpa patienten att leva i enlighet med sina trosuppfattningar. Möjligheten att fritt få utöva religion kan ses som en mänsklig rättighet men finns det ytterligare anledningar till att vi bör beakta religiositet och andlighet inom vården? Kan det vara så att religiöst engagemang kan vara bra för hälsan?SyfteSyftet var att beskriva hur religiösa och andliga trosföreställningar kan påverka människors hälsotillstånd samt beskriva vad detta kan innebära för människor som drabbats av sjukdom.MetodMetoden som användes var en systematisk litteraturstudie av kvantitativa engelskspråkiga vetenskapliga studier som var publicerade inom de tio senaste åren.ResultatArtiklarna berörde religion och/eller andlighet samt dessa variablers samband med olika hälsoaspekter och olika sjukdomstillstånd. I de nitton artiklarna gick det att utläsa trettiotvå olika resultat, då andlighet och religiositet ofta undersöktes separat fick många studier fler än ett resultat.

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.

I kapitlet teoretiska perspektiv har presenterat begreppen religion och religiositet och jag ansluter mig till Daniel Andersson och Åke Sanders substantiella definition av religion. Vidare tar jag upp antalet muslimer i Sverige, muslimers religionsutövning i Sverige och muslimer i svensk skola i kapitlet teoretiska perspektiv. I analysen kopplar jag begreppsdefinitionerna till resultatet av min undersökning. Undersökningen visar att flertalet av de muslimska eleverna uppfattar sig som troende och religiösa.

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.

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.
