Many reports infer that questions of HBT and homophobia are either poorly addressed or not addressed at all in schools today. This study is based on interviews with teachers of students aged 13 to 15. It is an inquiry to the teacher's thoughts about, knowledge of, and sense of responsibility to inform students of the subjects 'Queer', 'HBT', and 'Homophobia'. Who is responsible for educating the students regarding these subjects and what do teachers think about including these subjects in their curriculum? How do the teachers describe their knowledge of the subjects? Do they require further knowledge themselves in order to educate others in a proper way? The study is grounded in queer theories.

The aim with this study is to see how social workers apprehend the law, support and service for persons with certain functional impairments (LSS) and the application. We interviewed six social workers in six different municipalities to get a distribution between small and big municipalities. In the study we have used a qualitative method with half structured interview questions, since we wanted to get a comprehension for the social workers apprehensions. We have used a communication theory and a role theory in the study. The result showed that the social workers consider that the LSS is important, but that there are a few difficulties in the application.

Många elever uppvisar bristande förståelse för likhetstecknets innebörd då de hanterar tecknet som ett operationstecken, istället för en symbol för likhet och balans. Denna studies syfte var att undersöka matematikundervisningens möjligheter att utveckla elevers förståelse för likhetstecknet i årskurs 1. Studien är kvalitativ med semistrukturerade intervjuer av två lärare i årskurs 1 samt semistrukturerade intervjuer och kunskapstester av nio av deras elever. Resultatet visar att nästan hälften av eleverna förknippar likhetstecknet med en räkneoperation vilket antyder att deras uppfattning kan behöva utvecklas för att bli mer statisk. För att råda bot på detta föreslås en noggrann granskning av elevernas läromedel samt så kallad utvecklande undervisning (development teaching)..

Caso Skanska is an incident that occurred in Argentina and regarded corruption and bribes to government officials. This study investigates how this incident could occur and how it can be explained. The theoretical framework used is the dynamic interaction model, stakeholder theory, embeddedness theory, the political perspective and corruption theory.

The authors conclude that Caso Skanska could occur due to the lack of strong institutions as well as transparency.

The aim of this essay is to problematize the role of living support in a group home and to examine staff reflections about the users' opportunities for and possibly limits to self determination and, in addition to this, how they work towards supporting this right. The study is conducted through seven semi-structured qualitative interviews. The theoretical points of departure are theories of empowerment and paternalism. We have analysed the study results from the vantage point of these theories. The results are consistent with earlier research showing lack of guidance for supporters and also a lack of common approach towards users..

The interactive whiteboard (IWB) is to be found in many classrooms in Sweden, and its number is growing rapidly. There is a lack of research of the use of the IWB in Sweden.

Dagens svenska samhälle kräver en individualisering på alla plan. Skolan är här ett av de viktigaste områdena för denna individualisering och i Lpo 94 står att läsa att man ska utgå från alla elevers erfarenheter, förutsättningar och behov. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera begreppet individualisering i ett skolsammanhang, hur det upplevs, tolkas och realiseras. Jag har i undersökningen intervjuat sju lärare och tre rektorer från skolan och läst om individualisering i litteratur och styrdokument. Resultaten av mina intervjuer visar att individualisering är ett väldigt vitt begrepp och att innebörden varierar.

Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker lärares erfarenheter av och uppfattningar om grupparbete i skolans naturvetenskapliga ämnen. Lärare, undervisande i NO och verksamma i skolår 1-9, har intervjuats med förutbestämda frågor i öppen form. Genom en fenomenografisk metod har studien resulterat i fyra kategorier av uppfattningar hos lärarna. Grupparbete i NO för att avdramatisera ämnet Grupparbete i NO för att berika lärandeprocessen Grupparbete i NO för att läraren ?måste? Grupparbete i NO ur ekonomiska aspekter Vår studie visar att informanterna har olika uppfattningar om begreppet grupparbete och därigenom skiljer sig också formen för hur grupparbetet kan te sig.
