The purpose of this essay is to explore how social media affect the political orientation and commitment of youths. Three scientific questions highlight the purpose from different angles. The didactic perspective is discussed in the initial and closing discussion, and is analyzed in the corresponding chapter. Two methods are involved in the study; one survey and one interview with a focus group. The survey had a total of 98 respondents from four different classes, all in the first grade of upper secondary school.

Studies of the information needs of library patrons are necessary in order for the library to serve the community. Alas, studies of non-heterosexual persons are rare in the field of Library and Information Science in Sweden. This study aims at examining the information situation of women in same-sexed parenthood by means of analysing their situation as norm-breaking. The study is done through examining the specific information needs of this group, how they seek and receive information, what barriers they encounter and what function the library has in this information situation. A queer theoretical approach to heteronormativity in combination with McKenzie?s two-dimensional model of information seeking is used to perform a qualitative analysis of the material.

Den hÀr studien utforskar genom fenomenografins arbetssÀtt, vad det innebÀr för rektorer att undervisningen vilar pÄ vetenskaplig grund och beprövad erfarenhet samt hur rektorerna arbetar för detta pÄ sin skola. Skollagen frÄn 2010 har i första paragrafen inskrivet att utbildningen ska vila pÄ vetenskaplig grund och beprövad erfarenhet.  Genom intervjuer har rektorer i gymnasieskolan svarat pÄ vad skollagens nya skrivning innebÀr för dem. Rektorerna har svarat pÄ vad det innebÀr för dem att undervisningen pÄ deras skola ska vila pÄ vetenskaplig grund och beprövad erfarenhet och hur de arbetar för att detta ska komma till stÄnd. En differentierad bild ges av gymnasieskolornas olika förutsÀttningar att anta denna utmaning. Rektorerna visar pÄ svÄrigheter med att ge alla elever samma förutsÀttningar, dÄ bland annat Àmne och programtillhörighet ger olika möjligheter.

AimThe purpose of this study has been to examine attitudes towards dance in a broad sense, among Swedish schoolchildren. The study has been done with three different questions in mind: What do pupils think and express about dance? Are there any differences in attitude towards dance between girls and boys? And how do the pupils relate to gender conceptions in connection to dance illustrations?MethodEight pupils 12 ? 14 years of age have been interviewed separately during physical education lessons. During parts of the interviews dance illustrations were used in order to encourage the pupils in their discussions, especially when asked to relate to dance and gender conceptions. The statements have been interpreted from a gender theoretical perspective.ResultsMy interview study shows that male pupils to a larger extent than female pupils inhabit hostile feelings towards dance as part of physical education lessons.

The general objective of this qualitative study is to analyse and describe what people with psychiatric disabilities write on their blogs about their encounters with social workers. The questions the study is aiming to answer are: How do people with psychiatric disabilities describe their encounters with social workers? Do the informants describe instances of paternalism and advocacy? How do the informants describe their sense of meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability? The study is based on a theoretical framework in which empowerment and sense of coherence (SOC) are the key elements, along with the concepts of paternalism and advocacy as well as meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability. The research data was collected from blogs on to the blog forum Psykiatrin.blogg.se ? psykiatrins Robin Hood (meaning ?the Robin Hood of psychiatry?).

Mitt syfte med studien var att ta reda pÄ lÀrares uppfattningar gÀllande Àmnet svenska som andrasprÄk pÄ utvalda lÀrosÀten. l litteraturdelen bearbetas det flersprÄkiga perspektivet genom nationell och internationell forskning och styrdokumenten.Jag valde en kvalitativ ansats och telefonintervju som metod. Fem lÀrare med en gedigen kompetens i mÄngfaldsfrÄgor deltar i studien. Resultatet visar att Àmnet svenska som andrasprÄk fortfarande behövs som ett eget Àmne. Svenska som andrasprÄk Àr alla lÀrares ansvar enligt informanterna och det krÀvs att utbildningen förÀndras mot att möta samhÀllets ökade sprÄkliga och kulturella mÄngfald.I diskussionen vÀvs litteraturen samman med lÀrarnas uppfattningar om Àmnet svenska som andrasprÄk.

VÄra styrdokument som ska lÀnka i varandra frÄn förskola till skola gör att det blir nödvÀndigt att reflektera över vilken roll förskolan har nÀr det gÀller att utveckla ett intresse för matematik. Vi har valt att kalla vÄrt arbete ?Den röda trÄden? för att tydliggöra sammanlÀnkning. Vi ville ta reda pÄ hur pedagoger arbetar med grundlÀggande matematik i förskolan och i förskoleklass. Vi ville ocksÄ titta pÄ undervisningen sett ur ett genusperspektiv.

The present thesis is about how preschool children develop their language skills. The purpose is also to discuss how library and preschool can collaborate and in different ways together help the children to achieve different skills and to use their first and second language in a more appropriate way. The main problem identified from literature and own observations is why library and preschool dont collaborate to help young children to develop their language skills? Which reasons are behind a lacking collaboration? What can be done to increase collaboration between the library and the preschool? How can librarians and preschool teachers use their different professional skills in the best manner to be able to help the children to develop their skills in language acquisition? Is it possible to measure childrens language skills and how can one decide what characterizes a good collaboration? We started with a literature review and continued with collecting qualitative data by means of interviews with people who worked as librarians and preschool teachers, who were supposed to collaborate in a language oriented project. We have chosen different language theories by well-known scientists and we have only picked a few of them, which we considered relevant for the chosen topic.

FörÀndringar av strategi kan ocksÄ leda till ett behov av förÀndring av personalen, i termer av förÀndrat beteende. Detta Àr en av de utgÄngspunkter som denna undersökning tar. En annan utgÄngspunkt Àr den kognitiva vetenskapens forskning kring mÀnniskans motiv bakom hennes handlande, samt svÄrigheter med att bryta invanda mönster. Detta tillsammans med företagsledningens önskan om konstant kompetensutveckling av personalen har resulterat i en undersökning som söker svar pÄ huruvida det Àr möjligt att genom incitament förÀndra organisationer och dess medlemmars beteende pÄ ett effektivt sÀtt. Argyris och Schöns teori kring ?double loop learning? kopplas samman med klassiska motivationsteorier, och baserat pÄ kvalitativ datainsamling pÄ tvÄ fallföretag undersöks huruvida denna koppling stÄr att finna i praktiken.

Title:Professional skills in public and private sectors Date:2011-05-18 Authors:Zinajda Avdic & Binasa Jasarevic Tutor:Viktorija Kalonaityte Examiner:Richard Nakamura Key words:Competence, professional, public sector and private sector. Thesis purpose:To find out what factors are behind the company and the authority identifies  their training needs, what methods they use in the evaluation of outcomes can be integrated into the organization.Method:A qualitative study with a hermeneutic approach and an abduction approach. Theory:The theory depends substances skills, skills needs and skills assessment. Empirical data:Data collected through two interview people on the two public sectors authorities, and two companies in the private sector.Conclusion:We found that organizations put a lot of time and resources to develop, identify and plan professional skills through internal and external courses. The differences between them are determined not by the fact that they are in the public sector or the private, but from organization to organization.

This study aim to investigate the conditions framing the professional development situation for physical education teachers (PE) in a small municipality in the south of Sweden. The Swedish National Agency for Education declare that "focus must be directed towards strengthening the teachers' profession", and that "schools need well-trained teachers and good teaching to help students achieve good results". The study focuses both the schools? contribution and the way in which the teachers take own initiative and are motivated to develop their professional skills. The investigation is all based on teachers' perspectives.

Syftet med denna c-uppsats var att studera anvÀndningen av matematik i förskolan och undersöka vilka kontexter som pÄverkar pedagogerna att anvÀnda matematik i den dagliga verksamheten. I undersökningen besvarade 52 pedagoger frÄn fyra förskolor i en mellansvensk kommun enkÀter. En pedagog frÄn förskola, en förestÄndare samt en lÀrare i skolans tidiga Är deltog i intervju. Insamlad data analyserades mot teorin att det krÀvs att flera del-kontexter uppfylls för att nÄ en meningsfull innebörd i att anvÀnda matematiken i förskolan. Det visade sig att det som pÄverkade dessa pedagoger mest, vad gÀller att anvÀnda matematiken i vardagen, var kollegornas instÀllning till omrÄdet i frÄga samt kompetensutveckling inom detsamma.
