The objective with this essay is to establish the benefits of inserting media as an obligatory topic in the upper secondary school. In order to succeed with this I will not only type this essay I will also produce a medial production in the form of a film.  I have interviewed two senior masters on Södertörns College where I have reviewed different questions that relate to the matter's weight in school values and the society. In the study I will also reflect over existing research within the area and to link these to the issue and those interviewed opinions. In the film I also present statistics within the communication technology's increase and an explanation how one obligatory topic becomes an obligatory topic..

Leadership is essential for every company. Its strength or weakness of direction, clarity, and evaluation affects success or failure of its organization. With the complex structure of the big and global companies today leadership is more challenging. The traditional view of leadership, with the single individual possessing all the competences and skills, is therefore being challenged by an alternative way of leadership, a shared leadership. Existing research on the subject is still scarce, which makes further studies in this field important.

This thesis is an attempt to study computer games and playful computer programs for childrenand youth at Swedish public libraries.

The aim of this study is to investigate a number of class teachers' thoughts on the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in early literacy learning. The study has been conducted as a qualitative study, interviewing five teachers with the help of an interview guide. Three central questions were posed.What perception do the teachers have about the use of ICT in their tuition?What perception do the teachers have about the pupils' literacy learning in teaching with ICT tools?What perception do the teachets have about teaching and learning by means of ICT when it comes to pupils with reading and writing difficulties/dyslexia?The overall theoretical basis of the study is Vygotskij's sociocultural theory.In conclusion, the result of the study is as follows.Most class teachers feel that the training they have undergone in ICT education was adequate, but they also call for skill development.Most teachers believe that the use of ICT tools provide opportunities to adapt their teaching to pupils' knowledge level. The teachers' opinion is that ICT in teaching is useful for pupils' progress in early literacy learning.Most teachers also believe that ICT tools in teaching can be of some help for pupils with reading and writing difficulties/dyslexia.One obstacle in helping these pupils is lack of time.Therefore, the majority of the teachers hand these pupils over to special education outside the classroom..

My essay begins with a story in which I portray different communicative situations at the preschool unit Myran. The children in my story are at an early stage of development and they all suffer from multiple disabilities which inhibit their ways of communicating. Through my story, I describe how I perceive different communication dilemmas in my work place. A difficulty I cover in my essay is how the educator knows if he or she has interpreted a child correctly when it does not have a verbal communication and therefore is completely dependent on the educators? interpretations of its communication efforts.

Röntgensjuksköterskans yrkesroll har i tidigare forskning beskrivits utifrån två unikakompetenser: den vårdgivande och den radiografiskt tekniska. Behoven i den kliniska vardagenstyr den professionella utvecklingen och kan leda till en förskjutning av ansvarsområden.Syftet med studien var att undersöka och identifiera vilken kompetens röntgensjuksköterskornaanvändning av kompetens vid ordination och prioritering.Frågeställningarna: Vilken kompetens använder sig röntgensjuksköterskan sig av vid utförandeav utökade arbetsuppgifter? Vilken kompetens anser sig röntgensjuksköterskan behöva vidutökade arbetsuppgifter? Har nya unika kompetensområden tillkommit utöver de som tidigaredefinierat för professionen?Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med legitimerade röntgensjuksköterskor ochanalyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys.I resultatet framkom fyra kategorier: Medicinsk kompetens, Professionell kompetens,Individuella förutsättningar och Praktiska förutsättningar.Medicinsk kompetens är ett kompetensområde för röntgensjuksköterskor som synliggjorts idenna studie. En gynnsam förskjutning av ansvarsområden är inte enbart beroende av denenskilda röntgensjuksköterskans kompetens utan också ett verksamhetsstöd i form av tid,tydlig delegering samt en arbetsmiljö, där interprofessionell kommunikation och feedback ären naturlig del, vilket krävs för att denna utveckling skall gynna alla inblandade..

BAKGRUND:I bakgrunden beskrivs tidigare forskning kring förskolans miljöer. Hur den svenska försko-lans miljöer sett ut och ser ut idag. Jag beskriver också Reggio Emilia filosofins uppkomst samt dess tankar om förskolans miljöer.SYFTE:Syftet för undersökningen är att ta reda på och redovisa hur miljön på hur en förskola inspi-rerad av Reggio Emilia och en förskola utan inriktning ser ut, samt hur pedagogerna på des-sa två förskolor ser på betydelsen av den fysiska innemiljön för barns utveckling och läran-de.METOD:Metoden består av att en övergripande self-report fråga lämnats ut till 12 pedagoger i två olika praktiker, en förskola med Reggio Emilia inriktning och en förskola utan speciell in-riktning. Datainsamlingen har analyserats enligt en kvalitativ ansats och kompletterats med observationer av de fysiska miljöerna (gjorda löpande under fem veckors tid).RESULTAT:Resultatet har visat pedagogernas tankesätt kring sin förskolas fysiska innemiljöer. Det visar vidare likheter och skillnader mellan de två praktikernas innemiljöer och likheter och skill-nader i pedagogernas tankesätt..

This thesis examines some special education teachers with experiences of childrendiagnosed with dyscalculia. Problems with mathematics at school may occur to allchildren in all schools. It is therefore important that the teacher knows the variousdisabilities that teachers may encounter.

This work will immerse in the knowledge ofdyscalculia among four special education teachers.The interviews revealed that all special education teachers felt that dyscalculiainvolves specific difficulties in mathematics, their views on dyscalculia is consistentwith current research.

The purpose of this two years master´s thesis in Archive, Library and Information Museum science is to examine the ideas about children and childhood which have an influence on the storytime at public libraries. The material on which this thesis is based, is a methodbook which is aimed to develop the storytimes and those picture books that are recommend in the methodbook. The theoretical points of departure are discourse analysis and childhood sociology. The concepts of being and becoming are frequently used when analyzing the methodbook. Other theoretical points of departure are the combination of narratologi, semiotics and hermeneutics, which are also used when analyzing the picture books.The result indicates that the storytime, recommended in the methodbook, is based on the idea of a timeless culture of childhood - where the "modern child" including the media used today - is left out. Concepts as nostalgia and pedagogy are tightly connected.

My purpose with this essay was to study if there was any difference in competence between preschool teachers and child minders at a preschool outside of Stockholm. To determine what the differences consisted of, if there was any. The questions I wanted answered were as follows: Are there any differences in competence between preschool teachers and child minders? Do the two different occupations have different ways at looking at what the children need and their abilities? Do they see that they have different skills depending on what occupation they belong to? What do they believe that the people from the other occupation contribute to the preschool which compliments their own working skills?I used a qualitative method which included interviews and observations to find out the answers to these questions. My results from these interviews and observations indicated that experience, personality and attitudes are very important as well as education.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka om ett intersektionellt perspektiv är integrerat i de två metodböcker som materialet består av; BRYT! från RFSL Ungdom och Tjejgruppskompassen från United Sisters. Detta undersöks genom att en diskursanalys av metodböckerna utförs utifrån Ernesto Laclaus och Chantal Mouffes diskursteori. Även en bildanalys görs av en del av materialet som består av bilder. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna i studien är ett intersektionellt perspektiv på genus, samt de teoretiska antaganden som ligger titt grund för diskursteorin. Resultatet visar på att ett intersektionellt perspektiv existerar i BRYT!, men är frånvarande i Tjejgruppskompassen..
