Många forskare menar att det knappast går att skilja lek från lärande och att lek har betydelse för barns utveckling. Med utgångspunkt i detta har vi i vår studie undersökt hur leken kan förstås som ett redskap för barns lärande i undervisningen i grundskolan (år 1-6). Det vi har fokuserat oss på är lärandet som har karaktären av lek som till exempel spel, dramalek, sånglek, matte- och skrivlekar. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med verksamma pedagoger har vi fått ta del av dessa pedagogers tankar och idéer kring lek och lärande. Med vår studie fann vi att pedagogerna menade att leken har stor betydelse för barns lärande och genom att ta tillvara på leken, ?naturens egen fiffiga pedagogik?, blir det roligare att lära sig.

In this essay, I will look at three different Compulsory comprehensive schools in one community and I will compare final grades from students who graduated in spring 2006. I will also examine how the three schools work with students, and in what way they approach students with dyslexia/reading- and writing difficulties, so that they could reach goals set by The Swedish National Agency for Education. The aim with this essay is to show differences between schools in the same community and my question is if it is the way you approach students with dyslexia/reading- and writing difficulties that affects the student?s grades and results.The study is concentrating on three schools in one community and students with dyslexia and reading- and writing difficulties that went to those schools. I have spoken to remedial teacher at each school about how they approach students with dyslexia/reading- and writing difficulties, what kind of methods the use, how they investigate if a student is in need of special help and how they grade their students who are in need of special teaching because of their learning disabilities.

The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how teachers and other people working with mathematics in a school context perceive inclusion in terms of education. In addition,the purpose is to describe their experiences of inclusive education in mathematics and to identify factors of importance for an inclusive approach to teaching mathematics. The starting point was the significance of inclusive education as regards the education system and research on the implementation of inclusive education internationally and in Sweden. The theoretical approach is founded in a special education perspective on teaching and the theory of optimal experience. The people interviewed for this study are directly or indirectly involved in the teaching of mathematicsat a school that explicitly works from an inclusive perspective.

In all times school has defined and categorized pupils from a hypothetical normality. The National Agency for Education is today critical to how the municipalities provide for the necessity of special support for pupils with difficulties in school.Pupil`s assistants has been a growing profession in school during the last decade and their importance for the pupils is relatively unexplored. The aim of this study is to find out how the pupils think about having pupil`s assistant during the obligatory school on the basis of the ideas of power, knowledge, involvment and understanding. The study is based on qualitative interviews, consisting of half-structured questions, with eight pupils that have or have had pupil`s assistant during their time in senior compulsory school. The result notifies that the pupils feel powerless in school, they have no opportunity to affect and they do not think they are someone that could make any change.

Denna studie behandlar en alternativ pedagogik och belyser ett alternativt arbetsätt till den kommunala skolan. Den pedagogik som behandlas är waldorfpedagogiken och den avhandlas allmänt och med en enskild del som är riktad mot waldorfskolans sätt att arbeta med matematikundervisningen i de lägre åldrarna. Waldorfskolans bakgrund och tankar beskrivs och även dess metodik och undervisningsinnehåll. En djupare studie i en alternativ pedagogik kan utveckla synen på undervisningsmetoder och få tips på hur man kan lägga upp undervisningen. Ett annat syfte är att skapa en förståelse varför waldorfpedagogerna arbetar som dom gör.

Bakgrund: Lärare talar gärna om sin praktik och söker en form för dessa samtal. Pedagogik och retorik har en lång och till viss del gemensam historia. Går det att sammanföra dessa traditioner och redskap? En grupp ämneslärare på gymnasiet deltar i ett samtalsseminarium där det ingår en kurs i praktisk retorik. Mötena följs upp i en intervju.Syfte: Att höra vad lärarna i en intervju säger om sin klassrumspraktik och se hur några retoriska begrepp fungerar i ett pedagogiskt samtal.

Den här studien handlar om specialpedagogens roll som handledare i skolan. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om specialpedagoger handleder andra pedagoger och i så fall i vilken omfattning. Jag vill också ta reda på specialpedagogers, rektorers och andra pedagogers inställning till specialpedagoger som handledare. Studien genomförs med hjälp av intervjuer och enkäter till specialpedagoger, rektorer och andra pedagoger i en mellanstor svensk kommun. Jag har valt att använda diskursanalys för att analysera och tolka mina resultat.

This thesis treats a new perspective in the theory of classification, the context-based approach. The aim is to find out what kind of value this new approach can have in the process of creating a classification scheme for a special library collection. The first question to be answered is how the context-based approach works in a real life. The second question investigates which role the research in this particular area might have. Illustrating a real-life situation, the unit of Rättsmedicinalverket in Linköping serves as the object of study.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka på vilket sätt den mångkulturella skolan tar tillvara de grundläggande värderingar som finns i julen och i fastemånaden ramadan. Studien bygger på den kvalitativa forskningsmodellen med hjälp av den explorativa intervjun. Studien visar att ingen skola arbetar aktivt eller medvetet med värdegrunden utifrån de religiösa högtiderna. Dessutom visar studien att fastemånaden ramadan inte uppmärksammas i lika stor utsträckning som julen. Detta sker på skolor där en stor del av eleverna har muslimsk bakgrund.
