Today many people immigrate to Sweden, many of them with another religious belonging than the Christian. According to Lpfö98 and Lpo94, the Kindergarten and the school have the task to help alla the pupils to develop an understanding for their own cultural inheritance and the the swedish culture. The task is also to make the pupils feel as a part of the common culture.The aim with this essay is to investigate if - and how - the teachers in two different schools are u sing the immigrant pupils experiences and knowledge about other cultures and religions than the Christian. Does the teachers use the parents of the immigrant pupils or other relatives as a resource in their teaching?We also wanted to investigate what the teachers are doing with the pupils of another religious belonging than the Christian, who is not allowed to join the celebration of Christian festivals in school, such as Easter, Christmas and breaking-up ceremonies in the church.In this essay we have used a form.

The Stradella system on an accordeon is a complicated construction. It has readymade con-nected chords, these are major, minor, seventh and diminished seventh. To reach other vari-ants of chords you have to combine chord/bass buttons. Which advantages and disadvantages do the use of combined chords/bass buttons mean? How is the pedagogic work affected by using the combined chords/bass buttons? I have interviewed four musicians/teachers to learn about this technique.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how two elementary schools work with Swedish and Swedish as a second language through four teachers thoughts and perceptions. My issues are: How do the teachers perceive the Swedish classes in the school, and how do they perceive that they are conducting it? Which examples of material for teaching do the teachers show me and how do they use it in each school? Do the work with Swedish and Swedish as a second language in the multi-ethnic school and the more mono-ethnic school differ according to how the teachers perceive they are conducting it? Do the teachers think that the equivalent education that is part of the curriculums values and mission always is maintained and why/why not? My study is performed from a sociocultural perspective. My conclusions are that the teachers from the multi-ethnic school are more aware of how to work with Swedish or Swedish as a second language regardless of the students ethnic or national origins. Some aspects of how the teachers work with Swedish are equal with each others, but there are differences to.

Title: Eurythmics, and building boats -A study in tacit knowledge.The education of eurhythmics at Malmö Academy of Music, is a program where a major part of the tutoring is oral; very little written information about the method is used. This essay will examine the forms in which the current knowledge base exists, as well as the methods in which this information is transmitted from teacher to student, and in which form the knowledge about the method of eurhythmics is existing. The tools for analysis are the theories on tacit knowledge. Interviews and written surveys are used as qualitative research methods. The content of these interviews and surveys are presented in the results chapter.

Under vår utbildning på Malmö högskola har vi läst om olika möjligheter att arbeta ämnesövergripande med skönlitteratur som utgångspunkt för bland annat språkutveckling. Syftet med arbetet har varit att ta reda på hur åtta lärare på olika mångkulturella skolor i årskurs 1-3 berättar om hur de använde skönlitteratur i undervisningen och på vilket sätt de anser att skönlitteratur bidrar till språkutveckling. För att få svar på våra frågeställningar har vi använt oss av kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet i vår studie visar att lärarna anser att arbete kring skönlitteratur är en utmärkt metod för elever att både utveckla språk och kunskap. Lärarna berättar om hur skönlitteratur bidrar till att barn kan göra perspektivbyten och vidga sin syn på sig själv och omvärlden.

Title: How can everybody learn to sing? A study about methods for meeting students with poor singing abilityI have based my work upon the question if everyone can learn how to sing. This study investigates the physical and psychological impacts that singing may have upon us and examines methods that can be used intuition. Concepts such as tone-deaf, amusia, poor pitch singing and monotones are discussed, and the expression ?sångsvag? ?singing weakness?) is put forward.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to find out what mathematical content primary school children encounter in their free options at school.Through observation, the study defines mathematical areas that primary school students encounter in their free options at school. We want the study to show the reader the mathematics that students continuously meet without associating it with regular mathematics as taught in school.A number of mathematical areas have been defined in the analysis of the observations. These areas have subsequently been discussed more thoroughly. Finally, the areas have been arranged in a grid system to clarify the results.In our study, we have discovered that mathematics exists in all the observed situations the students participated in.We believe that observation as a method can give teachers a tool for helping students associate practical actions during their free options with the more theoretical aspects of formal teaching of mathematics. We discuss this further in the study..

Being able to reflect, evaluate and justify your views is an important part of adult life. Moral education can be a path to develop this knowl-edge; however, it is possible that the moral education gets more obscure when it is not a separate subject. The purpose with this essay is to examine the need of moral education and the presence and the framing of moral education of seven teachers in religion. The purpose is also to analyse where and how the moral education should be included in the curriculum. The survey was conducted through qualitative interviews with a hermeneutic approach.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how four teachers treats and teaches aboutxenophobia and right-wing extremism. A further aim of this study is to investigate whetherthere are any differences in how a teacher at a vocational high school treat and teachabout xenophobia and right-wing extremism against the teacher at a preparatory school, theydo. To achieve my purpose I have used qualitative interviews of semi-structuredform.These interviews were done with two social studies teacher at a vocational high schooland two social studies teacher at a preparatory school.My results show that teachers all too often respond to xenophobic views directly into theclassroom by reasoning and discussions with students. In my resault is also evident thatthere is a big difference between the teachers at the schools how much time you devoteto xenophobia and right-wing extremism in teaching.The conclusions show that these differences largely depend on which group of students thatteachers have.The conclusions will also be that there are great similarities between the way teachers reasonabout how to deal with xenophobia and the means to do, they also are relatively similar..

This essay focuses on how women and the woman emancipation are described in high school history textbooks from the years 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000, using the theories history consciousness and gender. Two textbooks are analyzed from each period. There are several gender theories, in this essay it is Yvonne Hirdman?s theory concerning woman- and gender history that is used. This means that the woman emancipation and women?s history are analyzed from the perspectives invisible, add, and-, how- and gender history.

The intention has been to look at the school system in South Africa and specifically at arts and culture in grade 10 to 12. I have visited a number of classes and interviewed the teachers working at the art centre PJ Olivier in Stellenbosch. By doing this I wanted to get to know the system and to understand the intentions that the curriculum describes.I have all through the study related the areas I?ve looked at to the curriculum to see how well the intentions are implemented. I have also compared everything with the Swedish school system.The curriculum has good intentions but the country has a lot to do before they reach the goals with a school system where everybody is included and where there is ?ubuntu? (Zulu word for humanity or I am what I am because of what we all are).

Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka hur musik används och lärs ut i den lilla byn Berefet i Gambia. Under ett första besök i byn tyckte vi oss nämligen se att barn och vuxna musicerade med stor glädje och kunskap. Anledningen till ämnesfokus var att vi ville hitta vägar till ett mer naturligt och glädjefyllt sätt att undervisa som musiklärare här i Sverige.Undersökningen har genomförts med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer med tre lärare och tre andra invånare i byn. Svaren har vi sedan analyserat utifrån ett musiketnologiskt perspektiv och jämfört med vad andra forskare och författare inom musiketnologi och pedagogik har kommit fram till.Resultatet visar på att det vardagliga musicerandet i Berefet inte är så utbrett som det verkar vid en första anblick. Det visar sig att barnen i byn i första hand lär sig och övar upp sina musikaliska kunskaper i sin hemmiljö, och att de då lär sig av äldre släktingar och familjemedlemmar..

SAMMANFATTNINGDenna uppsats handlar om undervisningen i en mångkulturell och mångspråkig klass i den svenska gymnasieskolan. De didaktiska val som gjorts i undervisningen under ett par månader under höstterminen 2005 redogörs för och motiveras. De didaktiska valen analyseras mot bakgrund av ett kunskapsbegrepp inspirerat av kognitionsforskning. Vidare belyses valen från sociolingvistisk synpunkt och slutligen också ur en andraspråklig synvinkel.Syftet är att belysa de konsekvenser det mångspråkiga och mångkulturella samhället har för skolans praktik och då specifikt för svenskdidaktiken.Resultatet av undersökningen och analysen är att undervisningen påverkas av de mångspråkiga och mångkulturella särdragen. Dock kan stora delar av de didaktiska val som fungerar i denna grupp också tänkas kunna fungera i en traditionell modersmålssvensk undervisning.

Swedish as a second language and special education are two topics that have a lot in common. I have chosen to in my study look at something that is covered by the two subjects: Swedish as a second language education that is taking place in a group segregated from the class. I have interviewed students in preschool, grade one and grade two to learn details of their experience of the segregation. Finding out that it is mostly bad planning and trouble getting the schedule together that?s affecting the pupils in a negative way.
