Detta examensarbete är en kvalitativ studie med övergripande syfte att undersöka hur pass vanligt förekommande det är att lärare verkar drivas av ett kall i sin yrkesutövning. Utgångspunkten för undersökningen är två lärartyper; läraren som ser sitt yrke som ett kall och läraren som ser sitt yrke som en profession. Att se sitt yrke som ett kall förknippas bland annat med svårigheter med att distansera sig från sitt yrke på fritiden och att man känner skuldkänslor eller dåligt samvete i anknytning till yrkesutövningen. Resultatet från detta examensarbete antyder att förhållandevis få lärare verkar drivas av ett kall i sin yrkesutövning. Skuldkänslor eller dåligt samvete i anknytning till yrket verkar inte heller vara vanligt förekommande..

The purpose of this thesis is to reach a deeper understanding of the context of teachers? information seeking. Research in the role of the library in a learning perspective is in demand. To reach our aim we investigate what teachers say about their experiences of the user training during their studies and what effect it had on their information seeking as teachers. We interviewed four teachers and analyzed the transcripts of their sayings about their experiences of their information seeking during their education and a teaching profession.

Kommunikation är en stor del av sjukvården och det utväxlas varje dag tusentals budskap. Detta medför stora risker för säkerheten och vikten av att sjuksköterskan och läkaren har en bra kommunikation är tydlig. Att reflektera över sin egen del i kommunikationen och se till att rätt information överförs på ett bra och effektivt sätt är en del i sjuksköterskans profession. Syftet med studien var att belysa faktorer som underlättar och försvårar kommunikationen mellan sjuksköterskor och läkare. Det gjordes en kvalitativ litteraturstudie som innebar en granskning av åtta vetenskapliga artiklar med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade uppskattning och ett tillmötesgående med den andra professionen, att kunna lyssna, jobba i ett likvärdigt team, ha en kunskap om den andres profession, känna tillit och att få vara en del i besluten kring patientvården var underlättande faktorer för att få en fungerande kommunikation. När sjuksköterskan uteslöts ut beslutsfattandet, när man inte hade kunskap om den andres profession, olika härkomst och bakgrund och när man enbart kommunicerade via datorn försvårades kommunikationen. Resultatet visar på att båda parter i relationen bör få lika stor plats och deras kunskaper bör vara lika mycket värda för att en bra kommunikation ska uppstå.

The purpose of this paper is to explore how practicing teachers have included their education in their teaching profession. The five teachers who were interviewed expressed that they lack experience in dealing with administrative issues, conflict management, parental contact and how to manage stress. There has been prior research on how teachers perceive their everyday working lives. Those results showed that teachers are becoming stressed by not knowing how to handle certain situations.My results showed that the teachers were to busy so they created their own methods on how to deal with phenomena that the education have not treated or discussed. The interviews were analyzed with the help of two constructivist concept, authenticity and activity .Authenticity focuses on knowledge is created and constructed by everyday situations.

Ungdomar i Norrbotten har en allt mer liberal syn på narkotika och elevhälsan på skolan träffar ungdomar dagligen. Jag valde att avgränsa mig till en grupp på elevhälsan, skolsköterskorna. Syftet med uppsatsen är att se hur skolsköterskornas arbete med elever som är positiv till eller använder narkotika fungera, behöver de mer kunskaper, vad kan förbättras/ förändras och hur bemöter de ungdomarna. Jag har valt en kvalitativ metod där jag har gjort semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex stycken skolsköterskor från två olika kommuner i Norrbotten, intervjuerna har analyserats med hjälp av diskursanalys. Professionsteorin används i bakgrunden och förklarar skolsköterskans profession samt hur arbetet sett ut från arbete med sjuka människor till att vara mer fokuserade på friskfaktorer.

This study was focused to highlight the problems that comes with being a minority on a workplace, in this case female sports journalist who are working in a male dominated sports field. The objective was to find out how the female sports journalist was experiencing working in such a domain, with focus on journalists who works on local news papers. The study also wanted to look on how these workplaces incorporated gender in their daily work.       In combination with gender theory, with concepts as masculine hegemony and power structures, I also choose to apply the american researcher Rosabeth M Kanters concept ?token?. With these aspects in mind I analyzed the five interviews that I carried out with female sports journalist with a qualitative data analysis.           The results of the study showed that the female sports journalist in some aspects were aware of the difficulties of being a woman in a male dominated area ? when they were talking about the profession at large.

This thesis primarily includes a study on whether companies can develop a mathematical activity that supports students' motivation in mathematics. The work was done together with Midroc Electro, a company that pays attention to the difficulty of recruiting and therefore was interested in investigating how the business world would be able to contribute.The thesis can be divided into three stages. The first part comprised by a exploration into research on student motivation regarding mathematics as well as numerous interviews with engineers to see how the research findings did fit with Midroc Electros reality. In these studies it became clear that the student who aims for a profession whose education or work requires math belongs to the group of students who primarily manage their studies in mathematics, that is, those that have the greatest motivation to work hard and complete their studies.Research information and interviews were compared and resulted in the thesis second part, Midroc Challenge. An activity where students primarily came to learn about the engineering profession and secondly how mathematics can be used in the engineering profession.

The background of this paper is the dual role that the social worker can have, of beeing both supportive and controlling in the meeting with clients. It is also about the power the social worker can have, how they handle the power in their profession and how they remain to it in the relationship with the client. The study is qualitative and built on interviews with eight social workers that work in different areas in the social services. We have chosen to see this dual role as if the social workers have to, in their daily work, handle the roles as one authority role and one supportive role towards the client.The purpose of this study is to understand how the dual role as the social worker has in the profession, as a helper and a authority, is expressed in the work and relationship with the client. We have turned this purpose into two questions: How do social workers with authority remain to the dual roles of the profession? How do the social workers describe and understand power?We don´t want to generalize in this study, we want to give an example of the social workers own experiences about the dual role.

This Masters thesis concerns collaboration between teachers and librarians. Three theoretical perspectives, profession, power and legitimacy, are used to analyse the results of written interviews with eight teachers and one librarian at a comprehensive school. We did not find evidence of any deeper collaboration between teachers and the librarian. The effects of profession had little impact on the relation although the involved parties seemed to appreciate differences in education and points of view. The teacher retains power over education and grades while the librarian holds sway over the physical library and the purchase of books and other media.

In 1972 a national higher education for librarians was started. Up until then different categories of librarians got their education separately. The aim of this Master's thesis is to explore the attitude towards this new education for librarians. The study will concentrate on the attitude of the representatives from the research libraries. Researchlibraries had, until 1972, recruted their librarians amongst Ph.D-level scholars.

This study investigates certified and non-certified teachers in Sweden and how they themselves view the status of their profession. Teacher certifications were introduced to Sweden in 2011, under the assumption that it would raise the status of qualified teachers. Recent results from international studies showed that Swedish students have fallen in rank compared to other countries around the world, and one of the proposed solutions proposed to this was to raise the status of teachers, as well as their pay. A higher status would then solve other issues, such as the low number of applications to university courses related to teaching. This study asked high school teachers, through an online questionnaire, what their views were on the status change the reform was supposed to create.

The aim with this study is to investigate how the role of the teacher has changed and how society has influenced the teachers' situation in the 1960s and 2010s, with a focus on teaching in secondary school. Starting in the late 1980s when the concept of profession was introduced to the Swedish teachers, many claim that a deprofessionalization for teachers started at this time. Others say that already in the 1960s, the teachers status in the society started to decrease.The method I have used is a rethorical analysis of articles in Swedish Teacher Union Journals. I have also availed myself of one article in the newspaper and articles in online magazines. The rethorical analysis aims to investigate whether the articles give an enthusiastic or dystopian approach to the teaching role, in a similar way as Thomas Karlsohn have used the concepts..

AbstractPropose/Aim: The aim of this paper is to examine why the view of the conceptions, within the field of professional information and communication, seem to differ within the labour market of Sweden. This paper will investigate the two main professional roles that are at the centre of the field?s confusion and disorder. These are the Information Specialist and the Communication Specialist. The main question here is to answer whether there is a significant difference between the two or not and also gain knowledge about why the two titles are not used consequently within the labour market.Material/Method: The method used for this study is of a qualitative character.
