Then the language learning process and the approach in a preparatory class differs itself from a general class. The methods conducted in a preparatory class are not just focused on teaching as in a more traditional method. Achieving the objectives in a preparatory class depends on the individual student and the cohesion in the group. Students have different backgrounds and knowledge level, therefore it is extremely important that the teachers use different work methods in order to achieve and to promote the students' language development. The aim with this survey is to get the knowledge about what education methods is being used by teachers in a preparatory class.

 The purpose of this thesis is to study the education of newly arrived 16-20 year old immigrants and how their education in the towns of Södertälje and Malmö matches up with national inquiry into the subject.The research questions in this thesis are as follow: What type of documents shape the work with newly arrived students? What's the preferred development surrounding the education of the newly arrived students nationally? What does the latest study, which is a proposed reform of the Gymnasium system, say about the education of newly arrived students?How does the local work connect with proposals of national investigations? Do the cities take responsibility for evaluating the education of newly arrived students? From arriving to graduating, what does the road to graduation look like for a newly arrived student? What is the curriculum of a newly arrived student?The methods used here are studies of investigations made primarily by Skolverket (The National Agency for Education) and Myndigheten för skolutveckling (The Agency for Development of Education), studies of local documents such as annual reports of quality and promotional material for programs at local Gymnasiums (High Schools), and interviews with local persons in charge of shaping the work with newly arrived immigrants.This thesis has not used theory as a foundation for structuring the analysis, but postmodern theory and the use of three dimensional power inspired the thesis.The conclusions made focuses on the future of the education for these teenagers at large and makes connections between the national investigations and the local work with immigration education.In order for these teenagers to be allowed to join the Swedish national Gymnasium, they need to learn Swedish, and integration seems to be an important part of learning Swedish quickly. .

The United Nations is an important organization when it comes to international peace and security. Recent events in international politics, however, have brought about a widespread concern about the abilities of the organization.

The school is under constant change and school reform on the conveyor belt. In 2009 the Swedish government introduced new directives for the elementaryschool, including multi-national sample, written testimonials from grade one and grade with several grades rose from grade six. The purpose of this study is to examine currently active primary teacher perceptions of the pupils' learning and development might be affected by those earlier and clearer knowledge assessments, and how teachers perceive this reform on the basis of the Swedish school's motto "a school for all". The study was carried out with a phenomenological approach where the method has been depth interviews with five active primary teachers from grades one to six in a school. The results show that teachers perceive that the earlier and clearer assessments will affect students differently according to student performance and knowledge.

The study of the debate concerning the new library act showed that a majority of the Danish political parties as well as the Danish library organizations had a positive attitude towards the new obligation.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate the term equableness in the Swedish elementary school with a take-off point in the free school reform from 1992. This essay starts with the political background of the terms equableness and freedom of choice and the official governmental guidelines. Research from Bo Malmberg and Gabriel Sahlgren act as a framework for the whole essay as their theories are tested.

Both researchers define equableness as a difference in grades but undertake a collective versus a more individual approach.

Vietnam genomgick i slutit på 1980-talet en ekonomisk reform som kallades Doi Moi. Ett steg i denna reform var att utländska direktinvesteringar (FDI) tilläts komma in i landet, något som tidigare ej var möjligt. FDI inflödet har haft en viktig roll gällande den ekonomiska tillväxten i Vietnam och har fungerat som en byggsten under landets övergång från en planekonomi. Det finns olika faktorer som påverkar investerares beslut att investera utomlands. För att påverka dessa beslut och därmed försöka öka inflödet av FDI har Vietnam utformat och reformerat flertalet investeringspolicys.

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet fängelseförbudet för psykiskt störda lagöverträdare genom att dels behandla gällande rätt kring ämnet och dels genom att försöka redogöra vad en reform i enlighet med SOU 2002:3 kan innebära för behandlingen av psykiskt störda lagöverträdare. Gällande rätt beskrivs genom att först och främst redogöra för relevanta straffrättsteorier och straffrättsskolor och därefter genom att redogöra för utvecklingen från tiden före 1864 års strafflag fram till den senaste lagändringen 2008. Den senare redogörelsen görs genom att beskriva strafflagens behandling av psykiskt störda lagöverträdare, 1945 års ändring, brottsbalkens införande samt 1991 års reform. Därefter beskrivs Psykansvarskommitténs förslag (SOU 2002:3) närmare genom att gå igenom de mest omfattande reformförslagen, nämligen ett återinförande av tillräknelighetsrekvisitet samt införande av samhällsskyddsåtgärder. Den föreslagna reformen gås igenom med betoning på eventuella framtida konsekvenser.

Arbetet är en källstudie över inlägg publicerade på skolverkets hemsida. Studien undersöker reaktioner gentemot förändringar i det samhällsvetenskapliga programmet gällande ämnena religionskunskap, filosofi och psykologi. Skolverkets förslag att slå samman filosofi med psykologi kritiserades utifrån administrativa problem. Ämnena ansågs dessutom vara alltför olikartade för att slås ihop med hänsyn till deras vetenskapliga metoder, innehåll och historik. Resultatet är i linje med Lindes begrepp ämnesprofessionell kod och Hargreaves begrepp påtvingad kollegialitet.
