Pojkar och flickor ses ofta som två homogena och två var för sig ensamt verkande grupper. Det är uppsatsförfattarnas främsta mål att illustrera problemen vilka uppstår av ett oproblematiserat könskategoriserande och istället sätta individen i fokus. Syftet med denna uppsats är att, utifrån en fallstudie, problematisera kategorisering av människor inom forskning och låta könskategorisering agera exempel på en allmän problematik. Intresset hos uppsatsförfattarna ligger på att komma bort från en mekanisk förståelse av kön där målet med uppsatsen är insikt snarare än statisk analys.Frågorna vilka ställts för att konkretisera syftet är följande:- Hur agerar och reagerar läraren på olika störningsmoment i klassrummet?- I vilken utsträckning är pojkars och flickors aktivitet, enligt fallstudien, störningsmoment i klassrummet? - Är det i de undersökta klassrumssituationerna ett fåtal elever vilka tillkännager sig ofta eller är det många elever vilka tillkännager sig sällan?En fallstudie beslutades vara den mest lämpade metoden vid genomförandet av undersökningen och som metod inom fallstudien har uppsatsförfattarna använt sig av observationer.

The purpose of our study is to get more knowledge about how moral dilemmas affect social workers in their work. This because we find that a big part of social work involves ethic reflections and that is why we find it important for social workers to have knowledge about how they should and can think and act in these situations. Ethic statements exist for social workers to use in their work but we haven?t found any guidelines for concrete situations and that?s why we decided to study this area. Questions we want to answer are how do the social workers define moral dilemmas in social work? How do the social workers deal with moral dilemmas in their work? How do moral dilemmas affect social workers in their work? This is a qualitative study with interviews from seven social workers from one social service office although they are from different units.
