According to the curriculum for primary schools, pre-school and after-school Lgr11 says that students should experience different feelings and moods using different forms of expression including drama (Lgr11 2011:10). The purpose of this study was to examine how educational drama is used in three elementary schools and for what purpose in teaching. The aim was also to examine the four teachers' perceptions of what educational drama means to them.I have used a qualitative approach with interviews and contacted four teachers from three different schools to get different information for my study. Three of them were educated teachers and one of them was an actor. The information provided in the interviews was analyzed using educational drama theory and previous research. The interviews with the teachers and the actor showed the use of different methods of educational drama in education.

The purpose of this master?s thesis is to examine how librarians perceive the importance of staff reading groups in helping to make fiction more accessible to adult users of public libraries.

The release of Maja Lundgrens Myggor och tigrar in 2007 caused a large debate that mostly focused on whether the book should be seen as a true reproduction of reality or a work of fiction and if the author had made the right choice in writing about friends, family and famous Swedish persons in her book. About one year later Lars Norén published En dramatikers dagbok in which he also shares details about other people´s lives and, by placing the book in the genre of a diary, claims that it represents reality. The critics were easier on him, and more positive over all in their judgment of En dramatikers dagbok, and many were upset about how different the two authors and their books were received. Tofind out why controversial works are apprehended as controversial I have chosen to analyze Maja Lundgrens Myggor och Tigrar and Lars Noréns En dramatikers dagbok, independent of, as well as compared to, each other. While leaning on reception theory andtheories about different ways of reading as well as the autobiography as a genre I have asked myself the following questions:Which factors have led critics as well as the public opinion to speak about Maja Lundgrens Myggor och tigrar and Lars Noréns En dramatikers dagbok as controversial?What do the two books have in common and what separates them?How does the debate differ regarding the two books and what is the cause for that difference in reception?My essay shows that when reading an autobiography or a diary most people cannot separate the book from the author and the life that the book is a reflection of.

At the same time the Occupational Safety and Health Act explains that the employer has a responsibility to take arrangement to prevent mental illness in working life.It?s mostly women who suffer from work related stress.

The present essay concerns Walter Benjamin?s thought regarding history and temporality as he articulated it in his last work that was only published posthumously: ?U?ber den Begriff der Geschichte?.

Syftet med detta examensarbete om pedagogisk dokumentation är att undersöka hur pedagogisk dokumentation används av pedagoger för att utveckla det pedagogiska arbetet och verksamheten i förskolan. Undersökningen bygger på två frågeställningar. Med hjälp av dessa två frågeställningar vill vi undersöka pedagogers uppfattningar om hur de arbetar med pedagogisk dokumentation och vad som kan utvecklas i verksamheten med hjälp av det.För att dokumentation ska bli pedagogisk måste det finnas ett gemensamt reflektionsarbete med syftet att föra den pedagogiska processen framåt.För att undersöka hur pedagoger uppfattar pedagogisk dokumentation har vi valt att genomföra intervjuer. Vi har intervjuat pedagoger på två olika förskolor och vi har använt oss av ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv för att förstå och tolka vårt material. Vidare har vi använt oss av Kvales ?meningskoncentrering? som analysmetod.Vår undersökning visar att de intervjuade har en grundläggande förståelse om vad pedagogisk dokumentation innebär.
