Syftet med föreliggande uppsats var att studera vilka motivationsfaktorer, passionsfaktorer samt vilken grad av självförtroende som uppvisas hos ungdomslandslagsspelare i fotboll. Vidare undersöktes samband mellan passion och självförtroende samt hur motivation var relaterat till passion och självförtroende. I studien deltog 288 manliga och kvinnliga fotbollspelare i åldrarna 15-17 år (M=16,02, Sd=1,06) från svenska ungdomslandslaget i fotboll. I studien användes Vealeys Sportconfidence Scale (VSS), Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) och The Passion Scale (PS). Resultatet visade att det fanns statistiska signifikanta samband mellan de tre variablerna passion, motivation och självförtroende.

The purpose of the study is to illustrate the choices of sports profiled education amongst pupils in the upper secondary school. Special attention is brought to whether there exist any differences between team- and individual competitors in their view on sport and education. One hypothesis that constitutes the base of the study is that pupils from lower social class, in a higher extent, tend to be team competitors and choose sport activities prior education. The result has been interpreted against Bourdieu's cultural sociology, in which the central concepts are habitus and cultural- and economic capital. The method that has been used is quantitative in the form of a questionnaire study which 277 pupils have answered.                   The result shows that the sportsmen, regardless type of sport, are not influenced by social position regarding choice of education and in their view on education and studies.

The aim of this master thesis is to study how teachers in adult education view the phenomenon of information seeking in education. We have interviewed adult education teachers, and the method used when working with the data was phenomenography. We found three categories in our material: 1. Information seeking is the student?s responsibility; 2.

The purpose of this study is to explain the development of the first higher technical education in Trollhättan, with the added perspective of Trollhättans strong industrial profile as a city. The interesting thing being that the city did not try to first and foremost get a regular higher education, but a technical higher education instead. The study describes the political twists and turns the question took from its most early stage in the year 1940 and how the city's industrial profile did indeed have an impact on the development of the first higher technical education. Especially because there was a need for educated engineers in the city, as well as the country of Sweden in large during this time. The study also tries to explain the problems related to such a development, primarily by describing the lack of sufficient housing for schools during the 1950's, this meant that the higher regular school and the higher technical school had to cooperate in finding said housing.

Forskning visar att empowerment ger ett ökat holistiskt välbefinnande. Empowermentredskapet i diabetesvården innebär att sjuksköterskan sätter patienten i centrum och hjälper honom att hitta kunskap och egen motivation. Med detta i grunden har patienten goda förutsättningar att självständigt fatta beslut, föreslå behandlingar, reflektera och utvärdera resultatet av dem tillsammans med sjuksköterskan. Empowermentinriktningen i patientundervisningen genomsyras av en strävan efter en känsla av jämlikhet och respekt, samt en önskan att gemensamt komma fram till problemlösningar. Som beskrivande teori har Orems egenvårdteori använts.

The definition of procrastination can be described as a behavior with deliberate postponement of tasks or commitments despite expected negative consequences for the individual and his or her environment. This study examined how widespread this behavior is among students in higher education in Sweden. Using a web-based survey, data was collected for analysis. A statistical program, SPSS, was used for evaluation of the collected data. The purpose of this study was to examine whether there are differences in the degree of procrastination between students located on campus versus students who do their education at distance.

Uppsatsen handlar om elevers attityder och deras motivation till ämnet matematik. Hur ser detta ut bland dagens elever i grundskolans senare del?

Lärarintervjuerna gjordes individuellt och elevintervjuerna gjordes i grupper.

Motivationsbrist är sammankopplat med stora kostnader. En nyckelfråga för företagsledningen blir därför hur de skall gå tillväga för att motivera sina medarbetare. Ett sätt att skapa motivation är med hjälp av belöningssystem. Syftet med vår uppsats är att generera en teori som visar vad som motiverar och påverkar anställda säljare på ett valt Företag X, för att på så vis hjälpa företagsledningen att utforma bättre belöningssystem. Teorin som genererats beskriver att individer beroende på upplevd motivation väljer att handla utefter olika motstrategier.

By studying literature concerning design, didactics and reflection, and complementing those explorations with interviews with experienced design educators, this thesis challenges the idea of aesthetic media education being purely aesthetic in its characteristics. Drawing from their own experiences as a media aesthetics educator and an industrial designer, the two authors argue that the work flow used within most fields of design, commonly known as the design process, might provide a suitable didactic alternative to a field of education lacking relevant methodology. The literature study offers a better understanding of the design process and how it may be defined and viewed within an educational context. The interviews provide a more practical insight into the world of design education. The result shows that the design process as a didactical method theoretically offers both elements of critical thinking as well as direction and frames for students lacking aesthetic and artistic experience.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att få en uppfattning om hur idrottslärare för årskurserna 7 till 9 definierar begreppet motivation och vilken betydelse de anser att motivationen har för att uppnå undervisningens mål, samt hur de arbetar för att göra eleverna aktiva i undervisningen. Som en del av detta ville jag också skildra ledarskapets betydelse för motivation. En kvalitativ intervju användes som metod. Resultatet visar att relationens betydelse är viktig i motivationsarbetet.  Dessutom framkommer kommunikativa mellanmänskliga aspekter emellan idrottslärare och elever som sker utanför ämnet Idrott och Hälsa som betydelsefulla..

Föreliggande studie undersökte en eventuell skillnad i fysisk aktivitet mellan inre (intrinsic) och yttre (extrinsic) motiverade gymnasieelever med utgångspunkt från SDT-teorin (Self-Determination Theory) samt även eventuella köns- och åldersskillnader. Enkätformulär med items från IMI- (Intrinsic Motivation Inventory) och EMI- (Extrinsic Motivation Inventory) skalan för motivation tillsammans med det korta IPAQ-formuläret för fysisk aktivitet delades ut till 194 friskole-gymnasieelever från yrkesinriktade program. Resultatet visade att elever som var mer inre motiverade också var mer fysiskt aktiva. Ingen könsskillnad fanns för fysisk aktivitet eller för inre motivation. Inom IMI-subskalan för självständighet hade kvinnorna ett signifikant högre medelvärde än männen.

Individual Education Plans and the means of creating a sustainable platform for children with learning difficulties is a subject of vast discussion. The original idea was to create a system in which the documentation of certain students with learning difficulties would lead to precautions being taken in order to eradicate difficulties and improve student?s abilities to excel in studies. However, in practice, the IEPs proved less functioning and the special needs of students were not attained accordingly to the theoretical approach. In some aspects the IEPs were a helpful tool to create sustainability for students with special needs, but in the long term the IEPs seemed to provide less support and more segregation.
