Björklund, Lorentz. (2005) Hur vill elever visa sin kunskap? How to prove proficiency ? the Pupil´s view. Syftet med detta arbete är att belysa hur elever vill visa sina kunskaper.

There is a settled stereotype for women and men which give them different possibilities in our society. The schools, which are one of the most important sources of knowledge, have a great possibility to influence. This is the reason why we are interested in how the schools are working with a project, which we will call X henceforth. What was the purpose with the project and what does it contain? What is missing in the former education, since the project was started? Are there any obstacles or prerequisite in the design of the project or in the school teaching on the basis of X? We have done interviews in the gathering of empirical material to find out all the answers to our questions.

In this paper I have examined how aware teachers are of their influence on Pupils development. The method I´ve used are interviews with three teachers and one Pupil each aboutMusicality - how do the teachers and Pupils look at the concept musicality generally and personally?Influence I- do the teachers believe that their thinking about musicality influence the Pupils self-confidence and development?Influence II- do the teachers think that other pedagogues have influenced them in their teaching and thinking?My main results show that both the teachers and the Pupils have similar apprehensions as their teachers, which points towards that influence can exist. The basis is however too limited to make any extensive generalizations.The conclusion of the paper is that we have to be aware of how we influence our Pupils. They carry this ?knowledge?, whether it is positive or negative, all their life..

AbstractWhat do the Pupils really learn in school? What do the Pupils know before they begin schooland what knowledge do they have when they graduate form 5 and should have achieved thegoals? I chose to interview some Pupils in the end of nursery school and some Pupils in theend of form 5.

The result of my examination was that Pupils in nurseryschool have many different thoughts and previous knowledge about space, often on the basisof what they have seen themselves, and that some of the Pupils in form 5 have some moredeveloped knowledge while some Pupils still got the skill as a nursery school Pupil. Myexamination shows that some Pupils have learned surprisingly little, bearing in mind that theyhave been in school for five years..

The purpose of this study was to examine how four teachers with different teaching experiences treat and think about insubordination in school. The study emphasizes on questions like: When and why does disorder occur? How do the teachers manage disorderly conduct in the classroom? and Could there be a conflict between the teacher?s expectations and management, and the needs and motivation of the Pupil?    It was evident through interviews with these four teachers that their statements could be divided into similar themes which subsequently could be put into the motivational structure of Abraham H. Maslow.       The conclusion of the study was that teachers may possibly have a better chance of managing disorder in their classroom if they are aware of the connection between disorderly conduct and a person?s needs and motivation. .
