Den här studien använder Agency-teorin och Stewardship-teorin för att undersöka hur motiverande ett Resultatandelssystem (RS) är för de anställda på en mindre svensk bank. Mer specifikt så undersöks hur påtagliga så kallade Free rider-problem är och vilka bakomliggande orsaker som påverkar vikten av sådana problem. Detta bygger på en rent kvalitativ undersökning baserat på intervjuer med anställda på Leksand Sparbank. Resultaten visar att förekomsten av Free rider-problem inte är så vanlig som Agency-teorin antyder och att detta beror främst på att monetära belöningar inte är den primära motivatorn på banken. Resultaten visar också att RSet inte motiverar på det sätt som det är tänkt, RSet har dock en del andra positiva egenskaper..

The purpose of this study has been to examine how the image of the gambler is described by studying a report published by Folkhälsoinstituet [FHI] and a number of chosen articles from the Swedish Evening Press. Discourse theory has been used both as theory, together with social constructionism, and as a research method. The main conclusions of the study are that three different discourses can be identified: the normal gambler, the professional gambler and the problem gambler. The image of the problem gambler is described as a deviant and problematic minority characterized by loss of control, irrational thoughts and dissociative behaviour. The construction of the problem gambler fills three possible purposes for the state: As a solvable problem to handle criticism against negative consequences of gambling, as an argument to avoid competition on the market and as an individual characterized by loss of control in order to legitimize and make the construction of the normal gambler possible..

The purpose of these studies is to see how the reception and education of non-Swedish speaking newcomers are organized in a small county, and what you can do to improve this process to achieve a better and quicker integration into the Swedish language and society. To do this, interviews have been performed with four headmasters and different categories of teachers representing all schools in the actual county.In the result it was clear that both headmasters as teachers saw a need to change   and improve reception to provide consistent but flexible support. The headmasters wanted to create written instructions to assure equivalence between the different schools. The majority of teachers wanted to change the current system whereby some pupils, based on their origins, were placed in a preparatory class to learn the language whilst others were placed directly into a Swedish class. All teachers also thought that the help the non-Swedish speaking newcomers were offered was insufficient.The conclusion is that the county must decide and create instructions according to Skolverket?s recommendations and it also ought to offer all pupils the possibility of learning the basis of the language in a preparatory class.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate teachers? views on play as a method for developing pupil?s communication and interaction in schools for children with severe learning disabilities. I am interested in pupils with autism spectrum disorder and their opportunities for social interaction with peers in playful activities. I focus on the subject communication and the parts about speech, conversation and interaction. My study is based on a qualitative study.

The terms?inclusion? and? a school for all? are closely connected. The question schools can ask themselves is how they choose to create inclusion and a school for all and also in what perspective. The purpose with this study was to find out how the headmasters and the teachers at ?Blommans skola? reasoned about the definition ?inclusion?.

I detta examensarbete behandlas synskadade personers upplevelser kring sociala interaktioner. Synskadade personer kan uppleva olika problematiska situationer i sociala interaktioner på grund av sin funktionsnedsättning. Syftet var att, via en kvalitativ metod och intervjuer med tio synskadade personer, ta del av deras tankar, åsikter och erfarenheter och kunna finna strategier, som dessa personer använder sig av för att hantera och förebygga de problem som kan uppstå. Vidare, hur synskadade personer upplever sitt eget och andras bemötande i sociala interaktioner, vilka problem de eventuellt har upplevt i dessa situationer samt hur de har hanterat dessa problem undersöktes. Resultaten visar på olika problem som synskadade personer någon gång har upplevt i sociala interaktioner.

Title: How do you get a pupil from Year 7-9 in secondary school to communicate in German?  Five high school teachers views on how to develop pupils oral communicative skill within the German language The aim of this essay is to explore Swedish secondary school teachers, from Year 7-9 in the German language, opinions regarding which work models and verbal strategies that are used and taught in order to foster the pupils oral communicative skill in the classroom. To achieve this aim, semi-structured interviews with five teachers are used.The results show that the teachers find that they encourage the pupils to speak German through creating possibilities for them to practise their oral language skills. The teachers also emphasize that they believe that alternating assignments in groups or pairs, where the students get the chance to be creative, activates the pupils to speak German the most. They also express an awareness for the fact that open or information questions encourage the pupils to use their creativity and speak more German.

Denna rapport behandlar vissa problem associerade med utnyttjandet av vindkraft för batteriladdning. Grunden till de problem som beskrivs ligger i svårigheten att anpassa laddeffekten till vindens effektvariationer vid varierande vindhastigheter. Aerodynamiska effekter hos turbinen ger problembilden en ytterligare dimension. De bakomliggande orsakerna beskrivs teoretiskt. Olika designmässiga val för att anpassa vindkraftverket till de dynamiska problemen tas även upp..

Ondskans problem är ett gammalt (religions)filosofiskt problem som, i grova drag, frågar om existensen av en allsmäktig, allvetande och allgod Gud är förenlig med ondskan i världen, samt varför en sådan Gud tillåter ondska. Filosofer (som svarar jakande på frågan om) har utvecklat ett svar på frågan varför Gud tillåter ondska. Syftet med denna uppsats är följaktligen att redogöra för Richard Swinburnes svar på frågan varför Gud tillåter ondska, samt granska svaret i ljuset av Eleonore Stumps tankegångar..

 Collaboration is a tool many organizations use to achive a certain goal. In previous research it can be read about both advantages and disadvantages of collaboration and also that a well-functioning collaboration is difficult to achieve. In previous research there is a shortage of scientific researches illustrating the outcome of collaboration. I have chosen to examine the cooperation between the social services and schools of the municipality of Växjö. The purpose of this essay is to understand what experiences staff working with children/young people in school and social services have of collaboration between each others organizations.

The purpose with this final paper was to examine how the collaboration between parents and teachers can manifest itself. With collaboration, we mean the dialogue that has to exist between parents and teachers in regards to e.g. how well informed the parents are about the regulated principles on which the education plan is built on, and in which way they can take part in and influence the system. This is to empathize on the fact that a good collaboration between parents and teachers help create a good foundation for the pupil?s ability to learn.The method that we have used are questionnaires given to parents and teachers along with studies of literature both as means of furthering our studies as well as a basis for the design of the questionnaires.

The aim of this study was to investigate which factors teachers and special needs education teachers view as being the main causes of mathematical learning difficulties and from these choose how to educate pupils with these difficulties. The aim was also to investigate how this education is organised at two different schools. An interview based investigation addressed these objectives by using three comprehensive questions:Which factors do the teachers and special needs teachers view as being the main reasons for mathematical learning difficulties?How do teachers and special needs teachers educate pupils with mathematical learning difficulties?How is the education organised for pupils with mathematical learning difficulties at two different schools?This study is based on four interviews of three teachers and one special needs teacher. The people interviewed work at two different primary schools in the same local authority.

SammanfattningMalin StångbergKunskapsutvecklingOm matematikbokens betydelse för lärandet i tidiga årStudy about pupil?s knowledge in mathematicsAntal sidor: 25Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur elever i tidiga skolåren lär sig matematik.Dessutom ville jag få fram om eleverna fick bättre förståelse och ett annat förhållningssätt tillvardagsmatematik om man arbetar utan matematikbok. Detta undersökte jag utifrån tre läraresperspektiv genom intervjuer.Mina frågor lyder:Hur lär sig barn inom matematiken?Vad händer med barnens förhållningssätt till matematik om man tar bort matematikboken?Kan bortplockandet av matematikboken bidra till ökad individualisering i skolarbetet?Får eleverna bättre förståelse för vardagsmatematik utan bok?Genom insamlandet av teorierna och med hjälp av mina intervjuer med lärarna har jagkommit fram till flera olika slutsatser som kan påverka hur barn lär sig inom matematiken tillexempel genom ett varierat och stimulerande material, goda samtal och diskussioner ochlärarens roll som en god förebild. Om eleverna inser sambandet mellan matematik i vardagenoch skolmatematik skulle fler tycka att matematik var både roligt och intressant och lättare attförstå.Sökord: Matematik, inlärning, kognitiv teori, sociokulturell teori.

Swedish students' knowledge of both mathematics and reading comprehension has deteriorated in recent years. Scientists are discussing whether there is a connection between these areas and that the pupils deteriorating math skills may have something to do with their increasingly lower results in terms of reading comprehension. To investigate this possible connection, I conducted a survey among students in ninth grade and have come to the conclusion that the scientists are right: this connection absolutely exist. Students who received a high score on tasks designed to test students' mathematical problem-solving skills, also received high results on the reading comprehension test. And students who received a poor performance on the problem-solving tasks, were also low performers in the reading comprehension test.
