Syftet med vÄr studie Àr att öka kunskapen om hur lÀrare anvÀnder sig av positiv och negativ kritik i sitt pedagogiska arbete. VÄr uppsats behandlar hur lÀrare förhÄller sig till att ge positiv och negativ kritik i sitt pedagogiska arbete, vilken grundsyn lÀrare handlar utifrÄn nÀr det gÀller positiv och negativ kritik, och huruvida det finns en diskussion om dessa frÄgor pÄ den skola dÀr de arbetar. För att kunna besvara vÄra frÄgor har vi anvÀnt oss av halvstrukturerade intervjuer med sex lÀrare som arbetar i grundskolans tidigare Är. Resultatet visar att lÀrarna i vÄr studie kan sÀtta ord pÄ vilken grundsyn de handlar utifrÄn nÀr det gÀller att ge positiv och negativ kritik till barn, men har svÄrt att koppla den till nÄgon specifik teori. NÀr det gÀller negativ kritik verkar de flesta av lÀrarna ha en ganska klar bild av hur de tror att barn pÄverkas av att fÄ den, och vill i de flesta fall vara sparsamma med den.

Positiv sÀrbehandling Àr ett stÀndigt aktuellt Àmne. FrÄgor som diskuteras Àr bland annat var grÀnserna gÄr mellan positiv sÀrbehandling och otillÄten diskriminering, samt om dessa typer av ÄtgÀrder kan rÀttfÀrdigas som medel för att uppnÄ rÀttvisa mellan grupper. Positiv sÀrbehandling finns reglerad i nationell sÄvÀl som EG-rÀttslig lagstiftning. I svensk rÀtt Äterfinns undantaget frÄn direkt diskriminering i JÀmstÀlldhetslag (1991:433). I gemenskapsrÀtten stadgas rÀtten till positiv sÀrbehandling i artikel 141.4 EG-fördraget, likabehandlingsdirektivet samt i rÄdets rekommendation 84/635/EEG.

The aim of this paper was to contribute to knowledge about how preschool-teachers work with the development of children?s spoken language in preschool.The study was conducted through interviews with four preschool-teachers working at the same preschool with one to five year old children. Through the interviews I came to learn about the preschool teachers experience concerning their work with development of children?s spoken language.The results show that the preschool teachers used pedagogical tools like songs, movements, rimes, jungles and stories in their work to develop the children?s spoken language. They said that conflicts and exclusion among children in a group could be a result of differences in language skills.

The purpose of this study has been to compare teachers' differing methods of teaching mathematics and their perspectives on the learning process in a municipal school to a Waldorf school.

The informants? accounts are interpreted using theories from previous research.

I detta examensarbete redovisas mitt förslag pÄ utformning av en utomhusutstÀllning pÄ Parken Zoo i Eskilstuna. Studier har gjorts för att försöka reda ut hur mÄlgruppen 3-10-Äringar kan stimuleras och ledas genom utstÀllningen. I arbetet ingÄr Àven en lekfull gestaltning av 16 utstÀllningskomponenter i form av bostÀder Ät vanligt förekommande sörmlÀndska djur.För att samla in data och kunskaper har flera observationer gjorts pÄ barn i lekmiljöer. Jag har Àven gjort en introspektion och samlat data genom regelbunden kontakt med Parken Zoo. Studierna har visat att barn tycks lockas av lekredskap som inbjuder till aktivitet och att leken ofta sker i rumsligheterna mellan redskapen.

Society today is characterized by the transforming effect IT has had, the majority of the activities we perform on a daily basis involves one way or another digital technology. One area which has not yet seen the positive effects of IT is education. Despite the progress of technology, the school education has barely changed since it first saw the light of day. Our goal with this study is to investigate the possibility of implementing Gamification elements in educational environments and examine whether it could increase our young students learning motivation. We believe that this kind of implementation will have a positive effect for these young people since they have been interacting with games since they were small and are familiar with the driving force of a reward system.With this study we want to examine the opportunities and challenges that Gamification implementation brings out in a learning environment and therefore encourage and motivate our young ones to study even harder..

Syftet med den hÀr studien Àr att undersöka undervisning och lÀrande av lÀrandeobjektet, brÄk med olika nÀmnare, i Ärskurs 4, Ärskurs 6 och Ärskurs 9. DÄ specifikt jÀmförelsen av brÄk med olika nÀmnare och addition med hjÀlp av gemensam nÀmnare. Studien avser att söka vad som Àr kritiskt för att kunna lÀra sig detta. Vi genomförde en learning study som Àr en typ av aktionsforskning dÀr studien genomförs i klassrumsmiljö och fokus ligger pÄ vad eleverna ges möjlighet att lÀra sig. Vanligtvis genomförs en learning study i tre cykler dÀr undervisningen gradvis förbÀttras mellan cyklerna. VÄr första cykel genomfördes i Ärskurs fyra, den andra cykeln i Ärskurs sex och den sista och avslutande cykeln i Ärskurs nio.

The aim of this study was to investigate, illuminate and discuss teacher?s and multilingual student?s view on the connection between their mother tongue and their learning of other languages. This qualitative study is based on interviews with eight students in the 8th grade and two language-teachers from the same school, as well as ethnographic observations during English and Swedish lessons. With the help of some relevant theories, the empirical study is compared, analyzed and interpreted. The results show that the theories and informant?s view on the connection between the mother tongue and other languages are similar, which is that the mother tongue must be fully established before a new language can be taken in..

The research is based on a multimodal approach with focus on learning resources.The research examines the museums focus on children and youngsters, what the goals for this focus looks like on respective museum and how the focus is visible in the actual museums.

Lean Product Development is a knowledge-based business concept in order to maintain high quality, meetcustomer requirements and to make product development more efficient. An important part of the processis to add a lot of resources at an early stage and execute the development as an iterative process betweendepartments exploring many alternatives thoroughly. The work focuses on how Lean ProductDevelopment is carried out and explores how to manage interaction between different departments andexpertise with regard to cross-functional collaboration and knowledge sharing i.e. learning.The information for the studies was gathered at a major Swedish company from two projects. The projectswere carried out as cross-functional and possible key factors for cross-functional collaboration wasidentified.The results have been correlated with theories of Lean, Product development, Lean product developmentand Learning.

There is no general aging process therefore should health efforts directed at elderly population based on each individual as a unique person with specific needs. When aging becomes a fact not generally decrease the lust and the desire to be active but it is perhaps more about the body's ability to keep up on what the head wants. Therefore the range of activities towards the elderly population requires some adjustment that can partly be achieved by taking some of the older people?s experiences. The purpose of this study was that by the older people?s experiences of organized activities in a social context to illustrate how they perceive their participation.

The main purpose of this essay is to study how classroom interaction can take place in a class for Second Language Learners (SLL).1 I have applied a case study methodology on a linguistic method used by a Teacher in Swedish as Second Language working on a primary school situated in the Southern suburbs of Stockholm. The learning method is based on extensive reading of books which comprehend several learning techniques organized into a process that support the development of linguistic skills such as discussing in a group, writing, reading and thinking in a second language. The methodology applied is based on observations, on an interview with a Teacher in Swedish as Second Language and on a questionnaire answered by 11 students that participated on ?Boksamtal?.Based on a theoretical framework about socio cultural theories on learning and scaffolding,2 I attempt to integrate theory and practice to investigate how the Teacher succeed on applying effective methods for second language learning. Through the analyses of the data is also my intention to emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of such a method.

Dagens utveckling inom distansutbildning har lett till att det blir allt viktigare att vÀlja en lÀrplattform som Àr anpassat till företagets eller organisationens verksamhet. Nya effektiva utbildningsmetoder som komplement till den traditionella utbildningen möjliggörs av den nya tekniken dÀr e-learning har en framtrÀdande roll. E-learning gör att lÀrandet inte lÀngre Àr beroende av ett fysiskt klassrum och en specifik tidpunkt utan utbildningen blir mer flexibel, interaktiv samt fokuserar mer pÄ sjÀlva pÄ lÀrandet.Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att kartlÀgga hur ett LMS bör vara utformat vad det gÀller design, funktion och anvÀndbarhetsfaktorer för att underlÀtta val av lÀrplattform (LMS). Studien har visat att det designmÀssigt Àr lÀmpligt att följa vedertagna författares riktlinjer ? oavsett om det gÀller LMS eller design av en funktion i ett LMS.
