Uppsatsen ämnar undersöka hur gymnasielärare med ämneskombinationen svenska/engelska ser på användandet av dramapedagogik som metod i sina ämnen. Uppsatsen bygger på intervjusvar från åtta kvalitativa intervjuer gjorda med svensk/engelsklärare på två olika gymnasieskolor i Kalmar under våren 2008. Resultatet visar att många lärare är positiva till dramapedagogik men att det är få som använder det i en större utsträckning. Skälen att inte använda drama är enligt de intervjuade framförallt okunskap, tidsbrist samt organisatoriska svårigheter..

The aim of this masters thesis is to examine how the educational work of the Swedish public library was regarded in the Swedish library journal Biblioteksbladet at three different periods of the twentieth century, i.e. the thirties, the sixties and the nineties. Using a theoretical framework from the field of professionalization and a methodological framework of hermeneutics, it is shown that the educational work of the thirties can be described as having a focus on free learning whereas the educational work of the sixties can be described as having a focus on public utility. The educational work of the nineties focuses on the information seeking process of the user. It is noted that this development during the century can be understood as a shift of the cognitive authority of the public librarians.

Detta är en etnografisk studie som syftar till att undersöka drama som kommunikativt ämne. Metoder som används är observationer och fokussamtal. Undersökningsområdet baseras på ett projekt i Borlänge kommun som kallas för Tusen Ord, där dramapedagoger arbetar språkfrämjande i en interaktiv utställning för barn och vuxna. Den dramapedagogiska verksamheten på Tusen Ord har studerats i tre olika skolgrupper: 5 åringar inom förskolan, år 4 i grundskolan och vuxna SFI elever (Svenska För Invandrare).Studien visar att kommunikativa funktioner i hög utsträckning finns närvarande i den dramapedagogiska verksamheten på Tusen Ord.      Nyckelord: Dramapedagogik, fantasi, berättande, kommunikation, språk      .

In 2008 Fox first aired its hit show Sons of Anarchy, a drama series about a Californian motorcycle club. The main thrust is about the club?s vice-president and his struggle to find his place in a life of violence. According to creator Kurt Sutter the series is partly based on Shakespeare?s 16th century drama Hamlet - Prince of Denmark, which causes the show to often be referred to as ?Hamlet on Harleys?.Focusing on the first two seasons of the series, this essay looks into the relationship between the two works of art.

This thesis examines the relationship between recognition of prior learning and the aim to increase social and ethnical diversity in higher education. Recognition of prior learning is a result of educational politics aiming to broaden social and ethnical recruitment to higher education. By examining if recognition of prior learning rather can, and shall, be seen as part of what Pierre Bourdieu calls educational social reproduction I try to question whether it fulfils education policy goals or not. My results show that persons responsible for recognition of prior learning rather recognise knowledge from prior educational institutions than knowledge gained outside the educational system. Considering this, recognition of prior learning does not quite live up to the aims.

Syftet med detta utvecklingsarbete är att se om drama kan användas som verktyg i skolan för att stärka grupp och individ. Vi har tagit hjälp av en årskurs ett och tillsammans med eleverna har Övningarna fokuserar på eleverna som individer, på stora och små grupper, samt på trygghet. Vi har utgått från några påståenden som eleverna svarat på för att se vad de själva tycker om det egna jaget och centrala begrepp som speglar det vi gjort i detta arbete. Avslutningsvis kunde vi se att klassen fick en starkare samarbetsförmåga, samt att eleverna faktiskt kunde njuta av att stå i centrum även om de ti Nyckelord: Individ, grupp, drama, tillsammans..

The purpose of this study was to gain understanding of orthodox Christianity in Swedish educational material. The aim was to compare the presentation of orthodox Christianity towards pupils before the new curriculum and after. With the help of an analytical approach by Bergström and Boreu ?s and the interpretation strategy by Quentin Skinner, I have studied material used in school for the subject religion. I have limited my educational material in one way.

This masters thesis consists of a translation of acts I-IV from Dion Boucicault?s play London Assurance, a theoretical comment on the translation and a comparative study of asides. It is divided into four parts: an introduction, presenting the work and my translation strategy, as well as a short stylistic analysis; source text and translation; a theoretical comment, mainly based on theories from the field of Translation Studies, but also theories on lingustics and literature; and a comparative study of the use of asides as a theatrical convention in English and Swedish drama.The main focus of my translation strategy is to keep or adapt features that give the audience a sense of the cultural context where the play takes place, as well as the time ? fashionable society in early Victorian England, while providing a text that is performable and speakable for the actors, and which preserves the humor present in the source text. .

The purpose of this study is to research into the role of the citizen and the educational system in Sweden throughout periods of time based on previous theoretic works, and also to deepen the understanding of students with special needs in Swedish education focusing on the primary school years. This shall be carried out by illustrating the different points of view and choices within the educational system that are at hand for students with concentration difficulties and social difficulties.I will analyze these points through a cultural and social perspective on contemporary society in order to contribute towards today?s discourse on the norm. The result of this empirical investigation presents a dilemma existing in the democratic educational system of today. Nationally and internationally, the educational system has been structured around a normative system containing both rights and duties that effect everyone working within it.

Detta examensarbete behandlar ämnet dramapedagogik och vilken funktion, position och status ämnet har haft i de läroplaner som utgivits från och med Läroplan för grundskolan 1962 (Lgr62). Materialet som undersökts är framför allt kapitlet Svenska i samtliga läroplaner, men även den allmänna delen och ett antal debattartiklar om ämnet drama i skolundervisning. Den tidigare forskningen som gjorts inom samma område är inte omfattande och berör inte ämnet ur vår vinkling, vilket gör vårt examensarbete relevant och spännande. Tidigare forskning visar att dramapedagogik i skolundervisning generellt har haft en låg position, både över tid och utanför Sverige. Samtidigt visar forskning hur gynnsamt drama i undervisning är för lärandet och att estetiska skolämnen fyller en funktion i dagens informationstäta samhälle, som stöd för att tolka och bearbeta all information som omvärlden ger oss.Som grund för arbetet har vi använt läroplansteori, eftersom det ger en förståelse över hur våra forskningsobjekt, läroplanstexterna, är uppbyggda.

Our aim with this study is to investigate whether or not Utbildningsradions - which is a public broadcasting agency - educational programmes reproduce the existing gender patterns of the female and male genders. We have chosen to analyse two educational programmes, Home Farm Twins and Rena rama forntiden.We use a social constructionist theory regarding the construction and reproduction of gender and the method we have chosen to use is a qualitative content analysis to study the educational programmes.Our conclusion is that in the case of Home Farm Twins, it reproduces the current stereotypes that exist in society. Rena rama forntiden on the other hand does not, the program has got a clear gender perspective in regards to its content. Though it can be said that in some ways it does not reflect upon the gender patterns that exist in society today, to a satisfactionary extent.Utbildningsradion does not achieve its policy concerning Home Farm Twins, but on the other hand it shows that in the case of Rena rama forntiden they do own up to the standards regarding cultural diversity and creative aim..

This essay is about the representation of orthodox Christianity in Swedish educational material. With the help of my analytical approach inspired by Michel Foucault, I have studied material used in school for the subject Religion. I have limited the educational material in two ways. First, the main reason for this is that I am only interested in material written and produced from the year 2010 until today. Secondly, the material I have chosen to focus on is written for the grades 7-9 and for high school.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how twelve middle school teachers use educational tools and what influences their choice of educational tools in Swedish language writing instruction. To answer this purpose, three research questions were formulated: What does writing instruction look like for middle school students according to the teachers in the study? What influences teachers' choice and use of educational tools in writing instruction? What opportunities and challenges do teachers experience in Swedish language writing instruction when using different educational tools? Twelve teachers from variously sized municipalities and with different experiences participated in the study through purposive sampling and convenience sampling. The chosen method is qualitative semi-structured teacher interviews. To analyse the results, this study employs analytical tools from the sociocultural perspective, using concepts such as mediation, appropriation, the zone of proximal development, and scaffolding. The results show that both analogue and digital tools are used in the teachers' writing instruction. The choice of tools should be based on pedagogical considerations, with an emphasis on social interaction and collaboration during the learning process.
