Svenskämnets kursplaner betonar att eleverna ska ges möjlighet att möta flertalet olika texttyper under sin utbildning. Film är ett medium som de allra flesta möter frekvent under sin fritid, att använda sig av ett sådant i undervisningssyfte bör ha stora motivationsrelaterade fördelar.Denna uppsats strävar efter att finna undervisningsmetoder som använder sig av film i utbildningssyfte, och att försöka peka på arbetsområden inom svenskämnet där dessa metoder kan vara möjliga att nyttja.Uppsatsen är av konsumtionsart, alltså har forskning konsumerats och sammanställts till ett arbete. Jag har sökt och läst forskning inom en mängd områden som alla kan relateras till film inom skolvärlden. Uppsatsen har inte avgränsats till att beröra något särskilt stadie av den svenska skolan, men en koppling till ämnet Svenska finns.Ungdomarna som idag befolkar skolorna bär med sig mängder av kulturella erfarenheter när de kommer, det är en svår, men viktig uppgift för skolan att ta tillvara på dessa erfarenheter. Film är ett visuellt medium som talar till sina konsumenter på många sätt, att ge elever förutsättningar att möta alla dessa meddelanden ligger även det inom skolan uppgift.Jag har försökt peka ut fem stycken områden inom svenskämnet där film passar sig som ett undervisningsmedium: Filmkunskap, som ger eleverna rätt verktyg för att tala om och resonera kring de filmer som de ser.

Children of school age, who have just moved to Sweden can either start in a preparation class or in a normal class. There is no Swedish law or national policy that determines how new children will start and continue their education in Swedish schools. The decision is up to the schools or the communes.This study investigates what kind of educational methods teachers, from a sample of two different schools, are using to educate the newly-arrived students and if these methods are making any contribution to integrating these children into the Swedish school system. The study will raise questions like, how are the new students introduced to the Swedish school, what is the purpose of having the children in preparation class as opposed to normal class, and what methods do the interviewed teachers use to integrate the new children into the school system?Interviews were conducted with four teachers, an associate professor and a senior lecturer in education, who has done several years of research about children from abroad coming in to the Swedish school system.

Denna rapport innehåller en redogörelse för mitt examensarbete, Charlie åkerkarusell, som gjordes vid Carl Malmsten ? Furniture Studies, LinköpingsUniversitet, våren 2012. I mitt arbete undersöker jag hur man kan serietillverkaen liten produkt med hjälp av mallar och fixturer anpassade för film och hur mandokumenterar processen med hjälp av film. Jag har tittat på olika filmer som rörämnet och olika typer av mallar för att sedan formge en liten figur vid namnCharlie, som serietillverkades i en serie av 30 stycken. Jag utförde några avmomenten i serietillverkningen med hjälp av en typ mall som jag konstruerade.Mallen, som jag valt att kalla för karusellmall, är inte den mest rationella men ärdäremot betydligt mer spännande och spektakulär än en traditionell mall.

As such, this study seeks to test Myrdal?s critical view on Swedish economic education in upper secondary school.

The purpose of this study is to examine possible teaching effects in the subject home economics at a school. The study has included one question, which aims to identify if there are any differences in the knowledge between boys and girls in the subject.The theoretical survey is discussing the subject diet and health in school and is emphasising on the different parts that are included in the subject home economics. Further, a historical point of view is given on the development of the subject, and also on Swedish research concerning health and diet.A questionnaire with fixed and open answering options has been constructed and handed out to two different groups of students. One of the groups are students in year 7, who have not yet had education in the subject, the other group are students in year 8 who have had education in the subject. The results show that the effects of education are different between groups that have been educated in the subject and groups that haven?t had any education.

The main purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the ISP (the Information Search Process) as defined by Carol Kuhlthau is applicable to Swedish University students. Qualitative interviews were carried out with students enrolled in their thesis course at the end of their university education. The selection is based on convenience sample of students visiting the university library. The questions are mainly about how to find out the experiences of the students when they look for documents at the beginning of their thesis work. Other relevant questions are about user-education, information literacy and what the students' opinions are concerning a thesis as a part of their education.

The aim of this paper is to investigate how well information and communication technology (ICT) is implemented in the new teacher training program in the subject of Swedish and how this is presented in the applications for examination licence to the National Swedish Agency for Higher Education. This is an interesting field of study, since ICT has been selected, by an investigation chosen by the government to be one of four overall perspectives that are supposed to permeate the teacher training program. There have been several difficulties involved in this project of which one has been the extent of the material.  27 applications and all curriculums in the subject of Swedish belonging to them have been examined. Another difficulty was that the applications and the curriculums are written by different persons under different conditions such as time and resources.
