Den läroplan vi har idag (Lpo 94) betonar att föräldrar har förhållandevis stor möjlighet att påverka sina barns skolgång. Läroplanen lyfter också fram att elevens utveckling ska ske i samarbete mellan hem och skola. Frågan som fokuseras i den här examensarbetet är hur föräldrar till barn i de högre skolåren i grundskolan upplever att detta samarbete fungerar. Examensarbetet är baserat på en litteraturstudie och en kvantitativ enkätundersökning. För att fördjupa och vidga perspektivet en aning har jag även kompletterat med ett kvalitativt inslag i form av två föräldraintervjuer.

The aim of the study is to investigate how social workers relate to the self-determination in cases that involve people who have dementia. To investigate this we have chosen to build a qualitative study. The study is based on four interviews with social workers in elderly care in Sweden. To analyze our material we chose the concept autonomy, and legal texts from the Social Services Act (SFS 2001: 453) and Parental code (SFS 1949: 381). Our results show that social workers are often forced to deviate from the law and guidelines to ensure the best for the person with dementia.

Syftet med studien var att genomföra en deskriptiv undersökning för att få kunskap om i vilken omfattning föräldrar med missbruksproblematik har deltagit i generella föräldrastödjande insatser och hur de uppfattat detta stöd.

Studien har genomförts med kvalitativa intervjuer, sju respondentintervjuer och åtta informantintervjuer. Studiens resultat påvisar att föräldrar med missbruksproblematik i mycket liten utsträckning utnyttjat de generella former av föräldrastöd som kommuner och landsting erbjuder.

Min frågeställning var huruvida avslappningsträning är relevant för musiklärarstudenters musikaliska utveckling. Jag lät en grupp om elva musiklärarstudenter på Musikhögskolan i Piteå träna avslappning till cd under fyra veckor. Som metod för att utvärdera effekten av avslappningsövningarna använde jag mig av enkäter. Resultatet visade att de allra flesta upplevde positiva effekter, fysiska och/eller mentala i större eller mindre utsträckning. Det framkom också att undervisningen brast gällande mentala förberedelser inför konserter och uppspelningar..
