Abstract Syftet med att studera detta är att undersöka anledningen till den könsuppdelade idrottsundervisningen samt vilka effekterna blivit med fokus på flickornas situation. Detta har vi gjort genom att bedriva observationer i två olika skolor i Blekinge, där en av skolorna fortfarande har gemensam idrott och den andra skolan övergått till könsuppdelad idrottsundervisning. För att bredda vårt material har vi även intervjuat inblandade parter, det vill säga elever, rektorer samt idrottslärare. Resultatet av observationerna och intervjuerna visade att flickornas situation förbättrats i den skola där man infört könsseparerad idrott. Flickorna tar för sig, lever ut och tycker det är roligare med idrott där de kan vara för sig själva.

AbstractIn my ambition to improve my writing and reflect upon the way I express myself I am, in this paper, going to study the purport of the term pathetic. I do this by inquiring what lexicon and dictionaries say about the term and by studying how the word can be used in present time. I apply the contemporary usage of the term pathetic to my own text and then adapt my text from how the term is used in our time. By doing this I clarify to myself how I look at my own literary style, what I want my writing to be like and how the progress in my composing is developing. According to the interpretations I have done, I find meanings like ?ridiculous? and meanings which have to do with strong emotions as well.

AbstractStudiens syfte är att undersöka hur lärares uppfattningar om elevers socioekonomiska bakgrunder inverkar på studierna och undervisningen i samhällskunskap på gymnasiet, samt mot bakgrund av detta avhandla mer allmänna frågor och problem om skolan som institution för jämlikhet och likvärdighet.Utifrån detta syfte har tre gymnasielärare i samhällskunskap på gymnasiet intervjuats. Dessa intervjuer har sedan genomgått en ideologikritisk analys utifrån den teoretiska utgångspunkten, som utgörs av den dialektiska materialismen. Resultatet av analysen visar att lärarna tillsammans med utbildningssystemet i stort styrs av en dominerande utbildningsmässig diskurs, som tilltalar de elever med studietradition från hemmet i större utsträckning än de utan. Således sker det en utbildningsmässig segregation inom samhällskunskapsämnet på gymnasiet beträffande elevers socioekonomiska bakgrund.
