The purpose with this study is to examine what kind of support there is for school libraries at the selected independent upper secondary schools and how these schools ensure that libraryservices is available to their students and their teachers. The purpose is also to examine what attitudes the administrators of the schools have to school libraries and teaching in information seeking. A qualitative method with interviews was used to fulfil the purpose. As a theoretical basis of the study Loertschers taxonomies of the school library media program and Limbergs three levels of pedagogic research were used and the interviews were analysed with these two theoretical frameworks as a background. The result of the study showed that neither one of the three examinated schools has a school library which means that they use the public library instead.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the view on reading and reading promotion in the Culture of Reading (SOU 2012:65), based on three different approaches to reading and reading promotion; the pragmatic, the emancipatory and the traditionalistic. The thesis is based on the following questions; which view on reading can be seen in the Culture of Reading and which view on librarians? reading promotion can be seen in the Culture of Reading. To answer these questions, I am going to apply the aforementioned approaches on the Culture of Reading. The Culture of Reading is an official report from the Swedish government and parts of it will be subject to a qualitative content analysis.

The authors were curious and asked themselves if teachers are aware of the base of their teaching in various teaching situations. Are teachers at all capable of expressing that in words? One of the reasons that the authors chose the particular issue was because they think teachers have the task to satisfy the needs of all students and therefore they found it interesting to study how various teachers act. The purpose of the study is to observe teachers didactical awareness, and how it can be added to their intentions and actions, as in how they speak about their teaching and how they act in various teaching situations. Methods used in the study were observations and qualitative interviews.

Diagnosis of adhd, the cause and consequence. A study about the teachers thought about it.The purpose of this study was to examine teachers experience and views about children diagnosed with adhd, and what implication and effects it gives to the pedagogy strategies in the classroom.This is a qualitative study based on the experience of six teachers from primary school. My results have been compiled and compared to special educational research about adhd, from three different perspectives.The results showed that the teachers who have been working as teachers for a longer period, think that the problems of adhd occur primarily due to environmental causes, but then also say that they think the individual causes matters. It is also these teachers that talks very well about medication as a treatment to cure adhd symptoms. The teachers who have worked the shortest time, most of them have some special education from the teacher education.

Detta är en kvalitativ undersökning om hur Sveriges Television arbetar med mångfald med fokus påfunktionshindrade i dramaproduktion och hur medarbetarna integrerar det i sitt arbete. För att kunna ta reda på hur det går till har vi utgått ifrån dramaserien Livet i Fagervik som fallstudie och gjort kvalitativa intervjuer med personer som varit delaktiga i produktionen av första säsongen av dramaserien. De personer som vi har intervjuat är: Stefan Baron, programchef på SVT Drama, MikaelSyrén, upphovsman till Livet i Fagervik, Calle Marthin, kreativ producent, Man Chiu Leung Carlson, projektledare, Harald Hamrell, regissör, Maria Kiisk, rollbesättare och Johannes Wanselow, skådespelare. Vi har även gjort intervjuer med personer på Handikappförbundens samarbetsorgan, HSO som har ett samarbete med SVT, Emil Erdtman, utvecklingsledare, HSO och Mia Ahlgren, projektledare, HSO. Intervjuer har även skett med Johan Hartman, CSR- Chef på SVT, och Christoffer Lärkner, handläggare hos Granskningsnämnden.Förutom de elva kvalitativa intervjuerna som vi har genomfört så har det empiriska materialet bestått avRadio och TV-lagen 1996, dramaserien Livet i Fagervik (12 avsnitt á 45 minuter), samt följande dokument: Sveriges Televisions mångfaldsplan 2008, överenskommelsen mellan SR, UR och SVT gällande fördelning för olika slags insatser rörande program om och för funktionshindrade 2008, Public service-redovisningen 2008, Anslagsvillkor 2008, Sändningstillstånd för 2007-2009 och Beställningsskrivelse.Den teoretiska ramen som denna uppsats utgår ifrån och som vi har kopplat vårt resultat till, är teorierkring identitet och representation, produktion och makt samt den sociala ansvarsteorin.Resultat visar att de som arbetar med att producera dramaserier, till stor del har tänkt på begreppet mångfald, men då i ett större perspektiv och inte specifikt på enskilda grupper.

Drawing from the theoretical foundations of the ?critical theory? of the Frankfurt School and the media ethnographic ?cultural studies? approach of the british Birmingham School, this study attempts to sketch out a media theoretical overview of the contemporary state of media culture. Using the term convergence culture as the foundation, this study offers a theoretical background to the two contemporary streams that are the significant and distinct tendencies of convergence culture: intermedial convergence, its contemporary state and historical tendencies that can be traced back using the past media theoretical approach of the Frankfurt School, and cultural convergence, its contemporary state and historical tendencies, which lineage in a media theoretical context can be traced back to the british ethographic ?cultural studies? field. Using contemporary drama serials to identify and pinpoint these two stream, this study shows how intermedial convergence expresses itself today through media conglomeration in terms of branding, product placement and marketing as the result of the ?completed? convergence between screen culture and popular music as the current defining state of commodity culture.

Syftet med vår undersökning var att se om elevernas attityd till den engelska språkundervisningen förändrades genom att använda oss av skapande arbetssätt, i egenskap av bild, musik och drama. Arbetet genomfördes under sju veckor på en skola i Luleå kommun. Vår praktikklass bestod av 26 elever i åldrarna 11-12 år. Vi arbetade med olika skapande teman varje vecka exempelvis dramatisering av en engelsk saga och collage. Elevernas eventuella attitydförändring mätte vi genom två enkätundersökningar som genomfördes i början och i slutet av praktikperioden.

The purpose of this paper has been to shed light on the ways the history represented at the City Museum of Stockholm can be used in education at the Gymnasia level. I have made use of the following set of questions to attain this purpose: 1) How is the City Museum's activity vis-á-vis the gymnasia organized and what is the purpose of this activity? 2) What positive results do the interviewees see in the collaboration between the schools and the Museum? 3) Why did the teachers represented in this paper choose to make use of the Museum in their education? The bulk of the study is based upon three interviews with the First Curator at the City Museum of Stockholm and two teachers, from Viola Gymnasiet and Skogsgårds Gymnasiet respectively. My method is qualitative and interpretative with hermeneutic features.In my interpretation of the source material I have made use of historian Klas-Göran Karlsson's classifications regarding the needs for various forms of history, use of history, users and functions of results. In this way I have been able to establish how the Museum and the teachers represented in the study make use of the history that is represented at the Museum.

The discussion on whether the aesthetics or the pedagogy of children´s literature is the most important trait of the genre has been going on for quite some time. As children´s literature rose from a will to educate it is argued that pedagogy is forever imbued in the literature that addresses the child as its main reader. Literary scholars voices concern that the discussions about aesthetic expressions are being shunned in favor of that of educational values but does one exclude the other?In this essay I focus on two of Swedens most prominent authors of children´s literature, Lennart Hellsing and Ulf Stark. They are both part of the aesthetics/pedagogy debate, in their fictional works for children as well as with articles and essays on the subject.
