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.

AbstractThe aim for this study is to establish how teachers and supervisors at the Child and Recreation Programme interpret the concept ?vocational knowledge?. It is also about how they substantially can see that the pupils are developing vocational knowledge, during their work placement training. The aim of this thesis is to create a base for teachers to work with continuing development in teaching practice. The empirical part of this study is based on interviews. Interviews were analyzed in three categories: definition of vocational knowledge, substantially developing in vocational knowledge and success factors. The result shows that knowing how and knowing why is salient in vocational knowledge.

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskestudenten och sjuksköterskan möter människor i kris eller oro, människor som får allvariga besked om till exempel HIV/Aids. Dessa möten kräver flexibilitet, förmåga till empati och kommunikation av sjuksköterskan. Omvårdnaden innefattar de fysiska, psykiska, kulturella, andliga och sociala behoven hos patienten. Genom att tillgodose dessa behov arbetar sjuksköterskor för att ge bästa tänkbara livskvalitet. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskors och sjuksköterskestudenters upplevelser och attityder vid mötet och i omvårdnad av patienter med HIV/Aids.

In Swedish school library research, the role of the school library has seldom been studied in a subject-specific context. When it has been, the subject has usually been a theoretical subject such as Swedish or Social studies. The purpose of this master's thesis is to study what role or roles the school library can play in a different context, in the program-specific subjects at a trade oriented program in the Swedish upper secondary school, and to determine what factors affect the possibility for the school library to play a role in such a context. The Food Programme was selected as the specific program to be studied. In this program, the students learn a trade, in this case bakery, and the teaching in the program-specific subjects can be expected to be practical in nature.

Sjuksköterskor spelar en central roll i patienters vård, följaktligen också i vården av HIV- och AIDS-patienter. Antalet HIV-smittade i världen uppskattas år 2007 till ca 40 miljoner människor. Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med HIV/AIDS i västvärlden. Metoden för studien är en litteraturstudie som följer Polit och Becks åtta steg. Databassökning gjordes i databaserna CINAHL och Medline samt genom manuell sökning.

HIV/AIDS ökar frekvent i Sverige och är därmed en sjukdomsgrupp som vi alla inom vården med största sannolikhet kommer möta. Tidigare forskning visar att det finns en tendens till negativa attityder hos vårdpersonal gentemot HIV/AIDS patienter. Syftet var att beskriva HIV/AIDS- smittade patienters skildrade upplevelser och erfarenheter av vårdpersonalens bemötande och omvårdnad. En litteraturöversikt gjordes av både kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar som har analyserats med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att HIV/AIDS- smittade patienter både har positiva och negativa erfarenheter/upplevelser av vårdpersonalens bemötande och omvårdnad.

BAKGRUND: HIV/AIDS (Humant Immunbrist Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) är en epidemi där världens utvecklingsländer är hårdast drabbade.

SYFTE: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur patienter med HIV/AIDS upplever stigmatisering och diskriminering från vårdpersonal. METOD: En litteraturöversikt, med tio stycken vetenskapliga artiklar som analyserats för att besvara studiens syfte.

Practical and theoretical learning are methods that are used in schools as a way to prepare students for the working life. Within the practical learning knowledge is not only acquired to learn in practice, but the students must also be able to apply their theoretical knowledge to what he/she does. Against this background, the aim of the study was to investigate the importance of practical learning for students in college / university level and how they are experiencing the stress that may arise out of the loss of practical learning during their education, as well as their vision for working life after completing their education. The population of the study consisted of N = 36, which 18 of these had used both practical and theoretical learning and the remainder had only used theoretical learning. The method was a questionnaire survey with a high proportion of fixed alternative answers according to likert scales.

Bakgrund: Inom hälso- och sjukvården är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan stödjer individer utifrån ett helhetsperspektiv och att hon kan se individen bakom sjukdomen. Idag anmäls allt fler personal inom vården på grund av ett bristfälligt bemötande. Studier visar på att de individer som lever med HIV/AIDS upplever att deras vård kan påverkas av den stigmatisering som finns i samhället. Dessa individer upplever sig inom hälso- och sjukvården bli bemötta med en negativ inställning. De senaste åren har antalet individer som lever med HIV ökat, idag är cirka 35,3 miljoner människor i världen bärare av infektionen.Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva allmänsjuksköterskans inställning till att vårda individer som lever med HIV/AIDS.Metod: För att söka svar på denna litteraturstudies syfte har en litteraturöversikt använts.

In 1990 the education training program for teachers working with children with special needs was changed. One major difference in the new program compared with the former one is that the specialized teacher is now mainly supposed to supervise teachers instead of teaching pupils who have learning difficulties. The aim of this qualitative interview study has been to find out what the specialized teachers think about there education, and how this could influence children with cognitive disabilities in special schools. I have interviewed six teachers who specialized in teaching pupils with cognitive disabilities. Three of them where educated prior to 1990 and the others were educated after 1990.
