Min projektredogörelse beskriver arbetet med att ta fram en bilderbok för tonåringar. Boken riktar sig till alla de som är, tror sig vara eller känner någon som kommit ut som homo- bi eller transexuell. Boken är helt baserad på mina egna erfarenheter. Projektredogörelsen tar upp olika teorier, både kring barn- och ungdomslitteratur, och beskriver arbetsprocessen och resultatet med arbetet. Min uppgift har varit att ta fram boken, inte att undersöka mottagandet av densamma ute i skolan.

This thesis is an attempt to study whether if problem-oriented teaching implies a moreadvanced use of school libraries than other teaching methods.Teachers have been interviewed about what kind of information they and their pupils need,and where they find their information. Another question is whether the problem-orientedteaching method makes it easier for the pupils to find information in school libraries thanother teaching methods do.The result of the study is that a problem-oriented teaching method creates opportunitiesfor the school library to become an important place for information retrieval. This teachingmethod is a major, but not the only determinal factor. Other contributing factors could beteamwork between teachers and school librarians and the existence of learning aids..

Syftet med vårt examensarbete har varit att undersöka hur samarbetet mellan Skolbibliotekarie, lärare och elever fungerar på en skola i grundskolans tidigare år. För att få svar på våra frågeställningar har vi använt oss av kvalitativa metoder. Vi valde att intervjua en Skolbibliotekarie, två lärare samt åtta elever. Vi har även gjort tre observationer på skolan. I vårt resultat har det framkommit att lärarna använder Skolbiblioteket för att låna bänkböcker och för boksamtal tillsammans med Skolbibliotekarien.

This is a thesis about an upper secondary  school library and its role as a pedagogkal resour­ce. My purpose has been to find out about the views and experiences of the staff at the school library and twelve teachers at the upper secondary school  conceming the school library as a pedagogical resource. Fourteen  qualitative interviews have been accomplished, twelve  with teachers and the rest with the staff of the school library. All the interviewees seem to think that their school library has an important function as a pedagogical resource and both the librarian and the teachers have given me some examples of occasions when the library has been used as a pedagogkal resource. This school library is mostly used as a complement to other pedagogical resources but for some longer projects with an investigative character it could sometimes be used as the main source according to the answers in these fourteen  interviews..

This thesis is about how teachers in natural and social science integrate the upper secondary school library in their teaching and how they use it for their teaching. Literature in connection with the study is described. Qualitative interviews have been done with four teachers from each subject and with an upper secondary school librarian.The study has shown that there are differences between the teachers in social and natural science. One group, consisting of mainly teachers in social science, survey the library collection.They give the pupils suggestions of useful material and sometimes they take out material for the pupils, with help from the librarian. The other group, teachers in natural science, uses library tools, cooperates and discusses with the librarian how the pupils should work when they use the library.

The purpose of this Bachelor?s thesis was to explore how principals and school administrators work to develop their school libraries. To narrow our area of study we chose to only include gymnasiums run by the municipality and conducted four semi-structured interviews with two principals and two heads of upper secondary school. We formulated two questions: (1) what perceptions of the school library and its functions can be found among our four respondents? And, (2) how do they work with developing the school library? As a theoretical framework we used Loertscher?s taxonomy of the school leader.

Jag har under min egen skoltid i Västerbotten aldrig kommit i kontakt med västerbottnisk litteratur. Med denna uppsats vill jag undersöka om och hur man jobbar med lokalt förankrad litteratur i skolorna idag. Jag har intervjuat fyra lärare på tre olika gymnasieskolor i Västerbotten. Det visar sig att det knappt förekommer någon västerbottnisk litteratur i undervisningen alls. Lärarna är överens om att tidsbrist är en bidragande faktor till att den lokala litteraturen prioriteras bort.

The aim of this study was to, through a qualitative method, investigate students? participation in a specific library blog to find out what motivate them to create and share digital book recommendations through videos. It also intended to describe the students? own views of their participation.We conducted interviews with eight students in the ages 12 and 13, who all had similar experiences regarding the blog creation but diverse attitudes concerning the blog production and intentions to participate.The results showed that the strongest motivating forces behind the students' participation in the blog creation was that they enjoyed the making of the videos and also because they wanted to inspire others to read more and create resembling blogs..

This master thesis is aiming to find out how school libraries work towards children in school years 1-6. The mainfocus is how the school librarians and teachers work with literature and reading. The theoretical viewpoints aremainly the sociocultural theory and the child perspective.The study was conducted with participants from five different schools in Uppsala, in the form of qualitativesemi-structured interviews. The results show that schools work with literature first and foremost in a pragmaticway, with reading-strategies and activating discussions. Very little time is spent on reading for its own sake.

Syftet med arbetet är att få en djupare insikt i och ökad kunskap om hur man som pedagog kan arbeta i skolan för att hjälpa och möta de lässtarka eleverna i deras fortsatta läsutveckling samtidigt som de bibehåller sin läsglädje. Avsikten är också att undersöka skönlitteraturens roll i ett sådant arbete. För att få fram relevant information till undersökningen intervjuades sju pedagoger på lågstadiet, mellanstadiet och högskolan som samtliga dagligen arbetar med skönlitteratur i sin undervisning. Av resultatet framgår det att en del av pedagogerna använder skönlitteraturen som ett komplement i sin undervisning medan andra menar att de istället använder det som ett läromedel. Det framgår också av resultatet att det finns en oenighet om de goda läsarnas möjligheter att vidareutvecklas i sin läsning.

Purpose: This thesis aims to study how students in upper secondary school evaluate sources in their everyday school work and how the role of the school library and librarian officiate in this context.Methodology: A web questionnaire was conducted and 155 students from different schools, with or without school library and school librarian, participated. We coded and aggregated the questionnaires according to the strategies that are used when evaluating sources, identified by Francke, Sundin and Limberg. Cognitive authority, a theory by Patrick Wilson, was also a part of our analysis. Conclusions: The study shows that students use different strategies, separately or combined, as a way to evaluate sources. The teacher is regarded as a cognitive authority and is the main influence concerning source evaluation. It also shows that the role of school libraries and school librarians, in this context, seem to be non-existent.

This thesis deals with options about information technology in education, the starting pointbeing a project in progress, namely Ostindieprojektet. This is the first collaboration betweenDatatorget and Stadsmuséet in Göteborg. The research is built on a phenomenological approach.The "backbone" information is collected from qualitative interviews, conducted mainlyduring March-April 1995.The questions for the interviews deal with the opinions about the reasons with Ostindieprojektetand IT in education, what conditions required to complete Ostindieprojektet and the ITdevelopment, the availability of the material, how IT-use can affect education, possible qualitiesfor the student with IT-use and how IT-use can affect the role of the school-1ibrary as ateaching tool.Some key subjects examined in the thesis deals with governmental investigations, viewsabout pedagogic and knowledge, problem-based leaming, computer-based education and therole of the school-library. The research shows that the interviewers have the same opinionsas the above mentioned key subjects. In completing the thesis we hope we have created aforum for critical discussion..

Undersökningens huvudsyfte är få en insikt i vilka skönlitterära texter som läses på högstadiet. Lärare ifrån tre högstadieskolor har medverkat. Litteraturundervisningen är en stol del av svenskämnet och svensklärare har således ett stort ansvar när det gäller att välja ut adekvata texter. Därför är det intressant att ta reda på vilka texter som läses i sin helhet på högstadiet idag. Tidigare undersökningar är främst utförda på gymnasienivå och har visat att litteraturundervisningen tenderar att vara starkt styrd av lärare och gamla styrdokument samt förmedlar litteratur som ligger långt ifrån elevernas litterära register.

This thesis investigates collaboration between teachers and librarians concerning reading support activities in senior high schools in Sweden. The following questions were posed: 1. How do the teachers and school librarians cooperate when it comes to promoting reading? 2. To what degree of cooperation is that? And how is the level of cooperation perceived? 3.

The aim of this Master?s thesis is to examine and understand how teachers of younger children view the concept of critical evaluation of information and how their interpretations of the concept relate to their teaching. The need for the development of children?s ability to critically evaluate has been emphasized through research as well as the need for collaboration between teachers and librarians in order to help pupil?s process information into knowledgeThe study has a socio-cultural perspective and the material was collected through observations and qualitative interviews with teachers. The results of the study indicate that many teachers experience uncertainty when it comes to the area of critical evaluation and that they do not teach the subject to any substantial extent.
