ABSTRAKT Persson, Emely & Trägårdh, Cecilia (2014). Språktest ? ett nödvändigt ont eller ett värdefullt lärverktyg? (Language test ? a necessary evil or a valuable teaching tool?). Speciallärarprogrammet, Skolutveckling och ledarskap, Lärande och samhälle, Malmö högskola. Syfte och frågeställningar Vårt övergripande syfte är att undersöka lärares syn på att testa elever i behov av stöd, elevernas upplevelse av att bli testade samt hur testanvändning kvalificerar sig i ett specialpedagogiskt relationellt perspektiv. Våra frågeställningar är: Finns det något samband mellan förekomsten av professionellt lärande mellan lärare och sättet på vilket lärare väljer att kartlägga elever i behov av stöd? Ger testresultat den information man behöver för att hjälpa elever i behov av särskilt stöd? Hur väljs tester ut? Hur används resultatet i det fortsatta lärandet? Kan det uppstå några etiska problem i samband med testning och i så fall vilka? Teoretisk förankring Vi kommer att utgå från ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, i vilket språkets roll är av stor vikt vid lärande och utveckling.

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.

The study is based on three Swedish novels published in 1945,1956 and 1964, and three Swedish novels published in 1998, 2008and 2009. The aim has been to investigate how librarians are portrayed in Swedish literature, as well as a comparison between the older and the newer literature. What librarian images are portrayed in the analyzed literature? Is the portrayal mostly positive, negative or neutral? Are there any clear differences in how librarians portrayed in newer and older Swedish fiction? If so, what are they? The method used has been qualitative content analysis where relevant paragraphs have been coded and divided them into categories of appearance, personality, and professional identity. The conclusion is that the librarian is often portrayed as an intellectual and somewhat high-strung bibliophile.

Inom den kraftigt växande E-handeln råder stark konkurrens. Metoder att öka marknadsandelar och sälja mer produkter är viktigare än någonsin. I denna studie utvärderas metoden att presentera produkter med hjälp av stereoskopisk 3D.

Den tydligaste förbättringen är kopplad till upplevelsen av djup.

We noticed that it?s different opinions about what people in the horse society thinks about having youngsters housed in a loose-housing system.
