The purpose of this study was to investigate the view of Finnish dialects and identity of first, second and third generation of Sweden Finns students in 7th, 8th and 9th graders, in two Sweden Finn schools. The questions at issue for the essay were: How do Swedes of Finnish extraction think of the Finnish dialects? Is there a correlation between identifying as Finnish and knowledge and usage of the Finnish dialects, as opposed to Finns living in Finland? To which extent do the Finnish students have knowledge regarding the Finnish dialects? To answer the questions a quantitative method was used and a questionnaire was answered by over 100 students. The results of the study showed that the Finnish dialects did not exert any influence on the students? life nor their sense of identity.

As a newly graduated student in construction you rarely have as much knowledge as you wish you had. It is a complicated line of business that requires knowledge and understanding of both technical solutions and interaction between actors. It is impossible to be fully learned and with that much unknown it can be hard to know where to start. This report is one step in the right direction. It contains a planning that contains construction and installations for a one level house in Kiruna with its different choices motivated.

This survey aims to investigate and analyze how six teachers on a high school in Stockholm reflect on pedagogical aspects of problem based learning( PBL). The survey focuses on ana-lyzing how the teachers relate to the benefits and problems of PBL and how they reflect on the students development. The survey was conducted on a high school and the method used for the study was interviews, each taking 30-45 minutes. The outcome of the survey indicates that the teachers sees problem based learning as an alternative to what they define as tradi-tional education regarding its epistemology. They indicate that PBL allows the students to define their own questions, to be carriers of knowledge and to evolve analytic skills in relation to the basegroup.

Bakgrund och syfte: Medieutbudets mångfacetterade skepnader är ett resultat av ett samhälle under utveckling och som ständigt tvingar nya innovationer och tillverkningar att ta form. Iphone är ett exempel på en ny innovation som har rusat i svensk försäljning både hos ungdomar och äldre. Den yngre generationen ser dagens mediala utbud som ett normalt inslag i livet medan äldre personer fått vänja sig vid dessa breda alternativ senare i livet. Denna skillnad på hur man vuxit upp med medier kan också komma att styra hur generationerna använder sin Iphone ifråga om hur ofta man utnyttjar dess funktioner eller vilken nytta den utgör för personen. Syftet med denna uppsats är att jämföra de två olika generationernas sätt att använda iPhone.Metod/Material: Metoden som använts för denna uppsats är en kvalitativ forskningsintervju med semistrukturerade/strukturerade intervjuer som verktyg.

In my essay the dilemmas originate from what I have experienced. I have observed myself and some of my colleagues, how we meet children who are lacking the qualifications which school and most pedagogues expect them to have. Focus, in my written experiences, is on children who live in poverty, but how we meet and act toward them is often quite the same independent of what qualifications they are lacking. With the support from literature and theories I reflect and analyse the dilemmas. Through essaywriting I investigate my practical knowledge and I examine how we as pedagogues handle the complex situations encounter when in school and how it is possible to understand why we act the way we do.I think that the knowledge which essaywriting gives me will strengthen me as a person and in my work as a teacher for after-school-center.

The curriculum of the Swedish school system explains how the transitions between the preschool class and the pre-school should be. The co-operation between the organisations should aim for a long term perspective with the students learning process in mind (Lgr11).The pre-school has almost the same aim in their curriculum, as the curriculum of the Swedish school system.The aim with my study is to examine how the teachers from the different organizations relate to knowledge and how they look at the students social interactions. Also how the transition between the pre-school and the pre-school class is viewed from their point of view. How do the teachers from the different organisations comprehend knowledge?How do the teachers from the different organisations comprehend the social abilities?How do the teachers from the different organisations work and interact in terms of the transition between the pre-school and the pre-school class?The study that has been made is about the transitions between the pre-school and the pre-school class. It´s been investigated by doing interviews with teachers from both the pre-school and the pre-school class.

I dagens samhälle ökar intresset för, och vikten av, småföretagande alltmer. För den enskilde entreprenören handlar det om att en dröm kan gå i uppfyllelse, medan det för hela samhället innebär ett bidrag till ökad tillväxt. En viktig aspekt i sammanhanget är att små företag behöver byggas upp på ett sätt som ger en hållbar utveckling på lång sikt.Att utforma en marknadsplan kan hjälpa företag att definiera verksamheten och identifi-era konkurrensfördelar. Planen är därmed ett verktyg för att nå lönsamhet och utveckling på lång sikt. Uppfattningen i litteraturen är dock att marknadsplanering inte är generellt tillämpbart i alla typer av företag.
