Syftet med min uppsats är att titta på hur maskulinitet och status framställs i sportmedia. Att sportvärlden är dominerad av män är en allmänt vedertagen uppfattning. Det är också en av anledningarna till att jag valt att titta på hur manlighet och maskulinitet framställ i just sport och idrottssammanhang. Massmedia, så som, tidningar, tv, radio och Internet, har inflytande på hur vi som individer i det postmoderna samhället uppfattar och skapar vår verklighet. Media påverkar oss mer än vi tror och bidrar därför till våra föreställningar och våra bilder av idrott.

In this study, emphasis was situated around pupils? expectations regarding body shape and physical proficiency among teachers within the subject of physical education.

The pupils were mainly selected through a convenience sample with.

The aim of this study was to investigate which factors teachers and special needs education teachers view as being the main causes of mathematical learning difficulties and from these choose how to educate pupils with these difficulties. The aim was also to investigate how this education is organised at two different schools. An interview based investigation addressed these objectives by using three comprehensive questions:Which factors do the teachers and special needs teachers view as being the main reasons for mathematical learning difficulties?How do teachers and special needs teachers educate pupils with mathematical learning difficulties?How is the education organised for pupils with mathematical learning difficulties at two different schools?This study is based on four interviews of three teachers and one special needs teacher. The people interviewed work at two different primary schools in the same local authority.

Barnen som publik har blivit en allt viktigare målgrupp för medieorganisationerna. Det finns en mängd TV-program i olika kanaler som riktar sig mot barnen som publik och många studier är gjorda om innehållet i olika barnprogram, men mycket litet är skrivet om relationen mellan barn och TV-sport. Temat för den här uppsatsen är att från ett medievetenskapligt perspektiv beskriva vad innehållet i ett barnprogram som Lilla Sportspegeln kan berätta om vårt samhälles syn på sport, barn och kön. Genom att studera innehållet i 5 avsnitt av programmet har material till en innehållsanalys samlats in.För att göra materialet hanterbart har analysen tematiserats i 3 huvudområden : kollektiva identiteter och relationer mellan generation och mellan genus, i syfte att försöka förstå och synliggöra hur programinnehållet förmedlar en sportideologi som kan ha betydelse för hur vi uppfattar barn och sport.Med hjälp av medieteorier från bl a John B Thompson, lyfts mediernas betydelse för ideologireproduktion fram. Detta kommuniceras av TV-mediet med hjälp av vissa symboliska former i en viss kontext, dvs Lilla Sportspegelns framställningsform.

ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to survey attitudes towards animals among veterinary students, and to assess how the Swedish veterinary education affected students' perspectives on animals. Students in the first and second years of the study programme were asked to answer the question "What is an animal?" as they saw fit, and the answers were analysed using a qualitative-to-quantitave analysis method called the Elementary Model, which had been developed for the purpose. Results showed a significant decrease in "zoo-perspectives", i.e. views and descriptions of animals as beings with cognitive and motor functions, and a significant increase in "homo-perspectives", i.e.

In preparation for the autumn term in 2011, the Swedish elementary school adopted new syllabuses regarding, inter alia, the civic education (Sw. Samhällskunskap). The civic education has traditionally been a disciplinary subject with a main purpose of mediating democratic values as well as providing generalorientation in the society. Generally, the civic education intends to reflect the world in which people live in, being a complex society which to a large extent is regularly affected by global aspects and developments.      The purpose of this study is to review all the elementary school?s syllabuses relating to the civic education with specific focus on the globalisation perspective.

This qualitative study is done with the purpose of creating understanding for the theoretical democratic content in educational materials for Civic Education courses 1a1 and 1b during GY-11, so teachers create an intentional approach when using educational materials in their democratic education. This was motivated as important considering the reduction in obligatory Civic Education for the vocational programs. The study was conducted using a hermeneutic qualitative reading method where the educational materials, more specifically two series with one book for each course, was read with purpose of creating understanding for the democratic content according to ideal democratic models: deliberative democracy, participatory democracy and electoral democracy. A text voice analysis was also conducted using Bakhtins theory of dialogic and monologue text that contributed to the general result concerning the democratic content. The results show that the electoral democracy ideal is dominant in all educational materials, there is hence no striking difference between the democratic content in 1a1 and 1b educational materials.

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.
