The purpose of this thesis is to examine the debate in library journals and in official reports on the subject of library education in Sweden. We focus on two periods: the period just before the year 1972 ? when the library education was transformed into being occupationally-oriented and the period just before the year 1993, when the library education was transformed into being ?academised?. This Master?s thesis shows that the debate and the arguments among initiated people in the library world have had some impact on how the library education was transformed later on.

This essay investigates the work situation for teacher educators at a university with focus on the subject areas education, research and administration. The research questions contain the work situation the teacher educators have, how they apprehend it, and how they find their position within the work organisation.

The purpose of this essay is to examine Egyptian university students´attitudes about the Egyptian education system´s ability to support a democratic process in Egypt. In order to carry out my study, scientific books and articles have been read and interviews have been made among Egyptian university students. The interviews contained questions about the Egyptian education system´s impact on the democratic process in Egypt and which impact the Egyptian education system has had on the Egyptian revolution.The conclusion drawn from my study is that Egyptian university students find the contemporary Egyptian education system based on authoritarian rules and with a lack of democratic values. The Egyptian university students believe that to establish democratic institutions in Egypt, the Egyptian citizens need a better understanding about democratic values. However, some of the students believe that the democracy that should be established in Egypt, must be based on Islamic values and to succeed with that, Islamic studies must play a greater part in the Egyptian education.When it comes to the Egyptian education system´s impact on the Egyptian revolution the Egyptian university students´opinions were somehow divided. .

This is a study of the trade union journal for female blue collar women in Sweden, Arbetets Kvinnor, between 1927 and 1931. The purpose is to examine how a female trade union activist's constructs collective identity by those notions of social class, sex, and moral values that are articulated in the journal. The main theoretical basis is Alberto Melucci's analysis where he argues that a collective identity in social movements is made in an interaction between individuals, where the action possibilities and limits are defined. Another purpose is how the female blue collar worker's resistance and/or adaption to the male hegemonic trade union and the bourgeoisie hegemonic society are presented. The essay shows how the collective identity is made of both historical and contemporary images of the working class women as workers and trade union activists.

I denna studie har jag undersökt om olika läroböcker för religionskunskap 1, som är avsedda för antingen studieförberedande program eller yrkesförberedande program ger alla elever samma möjligheter att nå upp till läroplanens kunskapskrav inom området för etik och moral. Undersökningen genomfördes även för att lyfta fram anledningar till att författare ger ut olika typer av läroböcker för en gymnasiegemensam kurs där ämnesplan och kunskapsmål är samma. Studien presenterar tidigare forskning inom ämnet genom att titta på den senaste läroplanen Gy 11, syfte och kunskapsmål i ämnesplanen för religionskunskap 1, tidigare forskning inom läromedel samt etik och moral inom religionskunskap. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ komparativ innehållsanalys av fem utvalda läromedel samt en kompletterande kvantitativ studie. Resultatet visar att läroböckerna i stort innehåller tillräckligt med information för att eleverna ska kunna nå målen.
