Vårt syfte med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur sex pedagoger i förskola och skola ser på och arbetar med bildskapande i verksamheterna. Vi ville också undersöka vilka likheter och skillnader vi kunde finna hos de två kategorierna av pedagoger. Vår undersökning har vi gjort med hjälp av kvalitativa djupintervjuer med de sex pedagogerna. Uppsatsen är även utförd med fortlöpande litteraturstudier kopplat till vårt ämne.

Thereafter follows a section on integration possibilities that shopping malls can use in order to integrate e-commerce instead of regarding it as a threat. This can be done in several ways, e.g.

Syftet med detta arbete är att skapa en applikation som ska hjälpa och gynna Sunnerbogymnasiet när det gäller att locka till sig elever som går på högstadiet. För att göra detta har gruppen använt sig av bland annat VR (Virtual Reality) och Panorama som metoder till att göra applikationen attraktiv för målgruppen. För att få fram vad som kan locka elever till att använda applikationen utfördes enkätundersökningar på målgruppen som är elever i årskurs 8-9. Genom undersökningarna fick gruppen fram vad för information applikationen bör innehålla för att locka till sig elever. Med hjälp utav intervjuerna som utfördes på elever som går på Sunnerbogymnasiet, framkom det vilka platser som eleverna ansåg vara populärast på skolan.

The function of the leaders position in the context, and the purpose of the situation influences how the leadership is formed.
