Abstract Jeppsson, Malin & Widesson, Karolina (2008). Barns samspel. En studie av barns samspel i olika situationer i förskolan. Malmö: Lärarutbildningen Malmö högskola Examensarbetet handlar om hur barns samspel tar sig uttryck i förskolan verksamhet. Syftet med examensarbetet är att få förståelse för hur barns samspel ser ut i olika situationer och hur lärande kan vara synligt i barns samspel.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att få kunskaper om hur elever med svenska som andraspråk förhåller sig till slöjden som  ett kommunikationsämne. Syftet är även att få mer kunskaper hur jag i det pedagogiska arbetet kan arbeta med elever med svenska som andra språk. Utgångspunk tas med hjälp av sociokulturella teorier. I den sociokulturella perspektivet betonas kommunikationen mellan människor. Samtal mellan människor gynnar språk och kunskapsutvecklingen.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur vårdpersonalen på ett äldreboenderesonerar kring äldres behov av aktivitet och social samvaro. I arbetet undersöks hurvårdpersonalens rutiner ser ut och hur social samvaro och aktivering prioriteras för deäldre. Jag använt mig av tidigare forskning, semistrukturerade intervjuer och tre teorier ?disengagemangsteorin, aktivitetsteorin och signifikanta andra för att svara påfrågeställningarna. Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre personer som arbetar på ettäldreboende fann jag att respondenternas svar överensstämmer med tidigare forskningbeträffande att aktivering och social samvaro är viktigt för de äldre.

Denna uppsats handlar om att utveckla ett balanserat styrkort till Individ och familjeomsorgen på Rosengård i Malmö. Individ och familjeomsorgen är en del av Socialförvaltningen. Det balanserade styrkortet är från början utvecklat för den privata sektorn, men har på senare tid börjat användas i den offentliga sektorn. Vi har använt oss av den institutionella teorin och den strategiska teorin.Syftet med uppsatsen är att se om ett balanserat styrkort kan fungera som ett kompletterande styrverktyg till budgeten och på detta sätt bidra till en mer effektiv verksamhet. Som metod har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ fallstudie.

The aim of this study is to through six interviews, with six experienced, social workers?, in three cities, understand how the child?s position in the Swedish child protective services? enquiries has change, and the factors behind it. The aim is also to compare if the social workers? view of the child?s position in the enquire has change accordingly to Socialstyrelsens intentions of BBIC.

The purpose of this study has been to describe and analyze how seven Swedish preschool teachers and two special education teachers think and work with children who show a lack of social skills. The study method has been semi-structured interviews with the educators which have been analyzed and sorted under different themes/categories. The theoretical framework used in this study is sociocultural, relational and categorical perspectives. These perspectives have been chosen in order to better understand how teachers see their role in supporting children in need of special support. The environment in the preschool is found to be of great help and the teachers? approach is of great importance.The research emphasizes the importance of integrating thinking, feeling and behavior.

Social housing in Northern Europe and the importance of social and political consideration in planning. Focus of the essay lies on the "burning suburbs" of France, based on literature studies combined with a study visit to Les Minguettes outside of Lyon..

In this study, we have considered the impact the organization`s implementation of its vision of the psychosocial work enviroment has been for the relations between the employees. We have primarily relied on a hermeneutic approach to understand our empirical data, and when we have interpreted and made a socialpsycological analysis on our collected empirical data. We have used Smith´s Institutional Ethnography, Sheff`s Social bonds and Asplund`s theory of Social responsivity. To collect the empirical data we have combined quantitative and qualtitative methods and a textanalysis at a visiondocument in the aim of capture both the depht and the breadth of our chosen fields of study. The results we have found shows that the psycosocial work environment within the organization can be seen as interplay between individual and enviroment and between individuals as well and that this interaction is influenced by the organizational culture that is created by the organization`s political vision.

The purpose with this paper is to examine whether other peoples opinions of a song and an artist influences an individuals own opinions of the song and artist. Through a quantitative study we seek to study whether such an influence exists and if it does, how strong that influence is. The study began with a pretest to examine whether differences existed when we manipulated our independent variable, how many times the song has been played at Myspace.com. Subsequently we performed a quantitative study by handing out surveys to students at Stockholm School of Economics on two different occasions. Our results show no significant differences in attitude or intentions when the amount of times the song has been played at Myspace.com is manipulated.

Homelessness has always been and will always be a problem in every society. How should we organize the work and care for these people? There are three different types of welfare states, the liberal, the conservative and the social democratic. In the liberal welfare state the market is the supplier of the public good. In the conservative state the family and church and in the social democratic the state is the supplier of the public welfare.The Swedish welfare state has been the archetype of social democratic welfare with de principal of ?Folkhemmet? in focus.

The main purpose of this study was that, in the light of theories of how street level bureaucrats may affect the implementation of political decisions, examine and analyze the social workers interpretations of the child perspective's impact on the handling of social assistance, and what opportunities and/or limitations they feel that the organizational preconditions means for the application. The survey had a qualitative research approach and consisted of eight thematic interviews with a total of ten respondents operating in five different municipalities. Eight of the respondents were social workers dealing directly with social assitance and two had managerial positions. The results of the interviews were then analyzed with the help of an actor-structure approach to implementation and Michael Lipskys theory of street-level bureaucrats and their role as policy makers. The results of the survey showed that the respondents had relatively similar views on the child perspectives implications for work with social assistance.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att visa hur den integrativa metodiken inom svenskämnet finner stöd i kognitionspsykologisk forskning och därmed bredda förståelsen för dessa metoders inverkan på barns utveckling. Skolutvecklingen påverkas av politikers åsikter och av den undervisningstradition som finns inom läraryrket, forskningen har många gånger svårt att göra sig gällande. Jag tror att det finns ett behov av att vidga kunskapen kring lärandets bakomliggande processer då detta kan ge mer status åt läraryrket och bidra till skolutveckling. Detta är en jämförande undersökning av induktiv karaktär där jag genom kvalitativa litteraturstudier försöker att få mitt syfte belyst. Utifrån syftet har jag undersökt den ämnesdidaktiska forskningens erfarenheter beträffande användandet av integrativa undervisningsmetoder.

Social media, with its immense and continuous flow of information, has in recent years growntremendously in terms of users and content. This increase has led companies and organizations keen to be seen within these channels of communication, but do they always have a clear idea of how andwhy, and are they aware of the risks that are associated with it? Current research on social media is somewhat divided in two. The debate concerns, among other things, what value the information on social media has, and whether the media is really a good communication channel or not. This raises several questions, for example can a company really afford to remain outside of social media with allthe information it generates? This research aims at answering these questions in order to further understand how organizations discuss social media presence and strategies.

Social enterprises are increasingly gaining ground as an organisational form in Sweden, however the institutional structures for financing these types of organisations are yet to be established. With its usual origin within the civic society, social enterprises prioritise a higher goal than to maximise economic profit, which often causes these organisations to be dependent upon resources from external constituents within its institutional environment. The aim of this study was to examine how a social enterprise, which derives from the civic society, acts to mobilise resources from constituents in its institutional environment. This was executed through a case study of Jordbro Världsorkester (JVO) - a typical organisation in the civic society which takes the form of a social enterprise - by identifying how assets were used to gain resources in strategic responses to institutional processes and examining how institutional processes affects how JVO acts. Throughout the study, qualitative interviews were conducted with JVO and constituents in its institutional environment and a theoretical framework was developed which explains how capital is used to gain more capital in an emergent strategy of strategic responses as the organisation gets in contact with institutional processes from its institutional environment.
