The purpose of this study is to describe how the employee appraisal is perceived by managers, employees and representatives from human resources departments. The empirical material con-sists of 15 interviews: respondents were two representatives of the human resources departments, four unit managers and nine employees who work at a state institution or municipal management. In the study, I adopt a sociocultural perspective, with the communicative relational perspective. The latter is a special education perspective in which the interpenetration of participation, com-munication and learning emphasized.The result shows that the majority of employees would like to see that the talks will be held more frequently than once a year. One of the managers has in cooperation with his co-workers devel-oped a model based on that each year, in addition to salary talks, have an individual conversation, a conversation with each group and individual follow-up talks.

Bostaden stÄr för större delen av det genomsnittliga hushÄllets förmögenhet och kan dÀrför förvÀntas ha inverkan pÄ hushÄllens konsumtion. Detta examensarbete undersöker i form av en litteraturstudie hur konsumtionen pÄverkas av huspriserna. Den teoretiska modellen utgörs av livscykelhypotesen. Vi undersöker 18 studier frÄn 1999 och framÄt, samt redovisar undersökningsmetod och resultat för dessa. Med nÄgot undantag finner samtliga studier positiv marginell konsumtionsbenÀgenhet med avseende pÄ husvÀrdet eller positiv konsumtionselasticitet med avseende pÄ husvÀrdet (beroende pÄ vilket mÄtt som studerats).

Denna studie hade som syfte att undersöka och analysera hur pedagoger arbetar med inlÀrningsstilar utifrÄn Dunn & Dunns modell. Data samlades in genom en kvalitativ undersökning i form av intervjuer med tre pedagoger, samt observationer i klassrumssituationer för att fÄ kunskap om hur olika lÀrstilar fungerar i praktiken. Undersökningen visade att de observerade eleverna jobbade med alla sina sinnen i större eller mindre omfattning. Informanternas definition av inlÀrningsstilen var att individanpassa undervisningen, att ge eleverna möjlighet att testa sina multisensoriska sinnen, att undervisa frÄn helheten till detaljerna, samt att skapa stimulans genom informell möblering. Informanterna jobbade i enlighet med sin egen definition av modellen, som dÀremot skiljde sig i förhÄllande till Dunn & Dunns teorier, genom att inte diagnostisera eleverna och att anvÀnda mindre andel av studiematerial.

Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att undersöka om det Àr nÄgon skillnad i förskolepedagogens bemötande av flickor och pojkar och i sÄ fall pÄ vilket sÀtt.Metod: Under denna studie sÄ har jag anvÀnt mig av en kvantitativ undersökningsmetod, dÄ jag har gjort observationer pÄ en förskola.Resultat: Studiens resultat visar att pedagogens bemötande av barnet till största del bestÄr av negativ uppmÀrksamhet. Pojkarna fick mer negativ uppmÀrksamhet riktad mot sig Àn vad flickorna fick. Ser vi pÄ flickornas resultat sÄ visar det att de inte fick lika mycket negativ uppmÀrksamhet riktad mot sig som pojkarna, men de fick ÀndÄ mer negativ uppmÀrksamhet Àn positiv. Förskolepedagogerna anvÀnde till stor del barnets namn vid tillsÀgningar och beröm. Pojkarna fick oftare Àn flickorna höra sitt namn nÀmnas i negativ bemÀrkelse..

With examples from a single classroom situation, several educational moments show what goes on between the teacher and the student. The teacher?s responsibility in the learning process is, with a gesture frozen in the air of the moment, to lead and follow the student in her tentative efforts at seeking knowledge. Initially, it is an attempt to shed light upon the "not yet seen" with a certainty that the student herself possesses the capacity and the aptitude to reach greater insight and clarity in her understanding. The Validation/Feil Method presented in this instructional situation illustrates how best to communicate with elderly people suffering from Alzheimer?s dementia.

Genomförda undersökningar visar att formativ bedömning förbÀttrar elevers inlÀrning och förstÄelse. Den svenska lÀroplanen frÄn 2011 ger tydliga indikationer pÄ att formativ bedömning ska inkluderas i undervisningen. VÄr diskussion i denna uppsats Àr dÀrför aktuell och den visar hur forskare artikulerar fenomenet formativ bedömning. Litteraturstudien inkluderar information om vad formativ bedömning innebÀr och förslag pÄ hur man kan arbeta utifrÄn ett sÄdant arbetssÀtt. VÄr studie visar att de viktigaste komponenterna inom formativ bedömning Àr att tydliggöra mÄlen, Äterkoppling samt sjÀlv- och kamratbedömning.

Den hÀr fallstudien syftar till öka kunskapen om hur Stena Line kan förbÀttra service genom lÀrandet frÄn en e-learning utbildning samt om personalen har ett behov av uppföljning, och i sÄ fall hur den ska utformas. Vi ville Àven öka vÄr kunskap om hur Stena Line kan förÀndra de anstÀlldas beteenden med hjÀlp av e-learning och vilka förutsÀttningar som krÀvs för att personalen ska bli motiverade till att förÀndra sitt beteende.Fallstudien har genomförts genom metodkombination. TillvÀgagÄngssÀttet har varit att inledningsvis dela ut en enkÀt, kvantitativ metod, för att skapa oss en uppfattning om arbetsplatsen. DÀrefter genomfördes semistrukturerade person-, och gruppintervjuer med ett strategiskt urval, kvalitativ metod, med en intervjuguide som utformats med hÀnsyn tagen till enkÀtens resultat. Det kvalitativa tillvÀgagÄngssÀttet har varit vÄr huvudsakliga metod.Vi har kommit fram till att hur utbildningen presenteras Àr viktigt för hur den mottas hos anstÀllda, vilket i sin tur pÄverkar resultatet av utbildningen.

This scientific essay is based on four self-perceived situations that all takes place in an outdoor environment. The children are aged seven to nine years. At least one of the children in the groups has some type of concentration difficulties. I have combined my practical experience with literature and previous research regarding outdoor education and children with concentration difficulties. Based on this I have tried to interpret and reflect on the opportunities and problems with outdoor education for children with concentration difficulties, especially so called situational concentration difficulties.

The aim of the study is to examine how different factors,such as views on how knowledge is produced and howlearning takes place, effect the way an academic librarymanages space. This is done by looking into how a specificlibrary, namely Library & Learning Resources (LLR) at theUniversity of BorÄs, by re-planning the building?s structure,design and functions, can support the students? differentstudying habits. The analysis is performed by using a theoreticalperspective built by a model first created by thearchitect Daniel Koch. The model is designed to look uponhow space produces meaning and knowledge.

The aim of this study was to describe and analyze if and in that case how project Speaking English contributes to improved skills in English to pupils in reading and writing difficulties. The project started out in order to give pupils in reading and writing difficulties an alternative to the regular English teaching. The study was carried out in two nine-year compulsory schools. We have conducted interviews with both teachers and pupils to see what they think about the project. According to the teachers we interviewed Speaking English contribute to improved skills for the pupils and they also believe that their chances to pass the 9th grade will increase.

I uppsatsen undersöks gymnasielÀrares relation till IT och lÀrande och hur deras synsÀtt befrÀmjar IT-inlÀrning. Undersökningar har under fler decennium i Sverige pekat pÄ att datorer borde anvÀndas mer som ett pedagogiskt verktyg i skolan. Idag finns tekniken och det borde falla naturligt in i rutinerna att anvÀnda datorer. Mitt kÀllmaterial och egna erfarenheter redovisar att ungdomarna redan har skaffat sig en IT-vana. DessvÀrre stödjer inte lÀrsituationen IT-anvÀndningen ÀndÄ.

The purpose of this study is to examine how pre-school teachers think about the importance of circle time in regard to the child's language and social development from a sociocultural perspective. Furthermore the study will include what role the educators? have during the circle time.To answer our purpose we have chosen the following question:What is the role of the teachers in the circle time?What are the teacher?s thoughts about the circle time?s importance to children's social development?What are the teacher?s thoughts about the circle time?s importance to children's language development?The study is constructed on qualitative methods, where we conducted structured interviews with six preschool teachers and observed their circle time to collect our empirical material. The study is also based on Vygotsky's sociocultural perspective which says that all learning takes place through relations and interaction with other people in the cultural context you are in. The results have shown that pre-school teachers are aware of the circle time?s importance to children?s development, and purposely plan the circle time to give children the opportunity to develop both socially and linguistically skills..

Studies show that the performance of Swedish students in the subject of mathematics is to be considered somewhat average. The government has therefore decided to assist with extended project funding to schools on a local level in order to improve these results.Schools will, unlike before, practice teaching suited for the individual needs of students based on their previous experiences, knowledge level, language comprehension and their environment. This is also clearly stated in the Swedish school curriculum.My survey shows how three teachers in primary school actually work towards individualized teaching of mathematics and what methods they prefer. This survey also answered what these teachers considered to be the obstacles and opportunities with individualized teaching methods. The difference in approach of how to practice this has also been documented.The survey, based on interviews and class observations, have been analyzed and compared to previous research and theories in the field of teaching practices.

With starting point in the increasing ill-health in Swedish working life today, in form of for example absence due to sickness and early retirement pension, and the knowledge that the working environment effects peoples health in a big extent, I found it very interesting to inquire into how people within the working life experience health promotion and how this can be developed. A qualitative method was used to receive a deeper understanding for the employees? experiences and data was collected through semi structured interviews with employees on a bank called Ikanobanken, in Älmhult. The result shows, among other things, that respondents find responsibility and the opportunity to influence the learning processes and development important. It also became clear that the respondents find participation, motivation, communication and safety essential factors when related to changes in health behaviours.
