The purpose of this study was to examine how the genrebased instruction applied in multicultural classrooms. My observations were carried out in three different classrooms, whit the educators constantly working on language development off the students. Two observations were carried out in Swedish, with a teacher of Swedish as a second language and the Swedish-teacher working with students together. In these two lessons in Swedish, I took away from Pauline Gibbons model, while the third lesson in civics I assumed from Eija Kuyumcu genre model. Both models are based on the Australian research around the genrebased teaching.

The purpose of this essay is to illustrate how the position of power / exercise of power are perceived in today's schools from the teacher's perspective. I have examined how students' freedom and democracy education interpreted in real life, and how this affects both teacher and student learning approaches. I would also highlight the need to set standards for children's psychological development related to the consequences will be. I have chosen to perform a qualitative research through individual interviews with five participating teachers from different experiences in different type of school. I have used the hermeneutic method of analysis to analyze the material.

Abstract The main aim for this research is to come to an understanding for why young people choose to apply for the machine program when the time comes for the students to make their choice of upper secondary school program. The second aim for this research is to try and come to an understanding on how to make the machine program more interesting for future students to apply to.  The method of this research is quality method with the usage of interviews. With a total of six students in the first grade going on a school in the middle part of the country I tried to get answers to my questions. There are many things that affect students when they are facing what gymnasium program to choose and a very common answer by students in this study is that friends and work after school are some of the reasons for why students choose, for example, the machine program. The study also shows that parents has less influence of the students choice of gymnasium program and in fact, all students in this study made the choice to pick the machine program as their gymnasium program, but not always the machine program as their first choice. With the comparison of similar studies with my study the results are often in line with what other scientist have come up with.

Fördjupningsarbetet på polisutbildningen i Umeå är ett omtvistat ämne bland studenterna på utbildningen. Det är många som har bestämda uppfattningar huruvida det är något som ska finnas på utbildningen eller inte. I mitt arbete har jag velat ta reda på vad studenterna egentligen tycker och därför genomfört en enkätundersökning där jag inhämtat studenternas åsikter. Är majoriteten negativ? Vad beror detta på i sådana fall och vad vill studenterna göra istället för fördjupningsarbete? En polis, tidigare student på Polisutbildningen i Umeå, har fått ge sin syn på fördjupningsarbetet.

The aim of this piece of work is to highlight and investigate young female?s motivation in participation of P.E classes and the degree to which the content of classes affect their motivation. To support this piece of work two theories have been utilized, the Self-determination Theory and a gender related perspective theory. The research consists of six qualitative interviews of young females who are perceived to be less motivated. These interviews focus on their views and attitudes in relation to P.E within the Swedish high school setting.

The purpose of this study is to see how some teachers in primary school creates and adapts their mathematics teaching for students with special mathematical abilities. It also aims to identify opportunities and challenges that teachers see in creating a teaching adapted to these students.In this study, qualitative interviews has been done to collect data. The interviews were conducted with five teachers who all are active in the primary school.The study results show that there is great variation in how the interviewed teachers create their mathematics teaching for students with special mathematical abilities. The use of mathematics book proved to be significant for how this adaptation took place. The result also shows that the teachers? explanations for the choice of the adaptations that they make in teaching vary.

This essay aims to generate understanding for todays grammar teaching in the early grades.Through base in previous research, I intend in this work to seek understanding of what affects the grammar development and its impact on education. I investigate in this essay teacher's approach to grammar and how it affects the incidence of grammar teaching.Work empiricism consists of qualitative research interviews and a survey with the intention to present a broad picture of grammatical meaning. Regarding to the informants that are involved in the investigation, I have deliberately chosen teachers from different generations to find reflections of their own education and how itinfluenced their view of grammar. My study shows that teachers acquire greater part of teaching about languagefunctional side compared to the form of the language. The teachers who participated in the survey indicated that the language functional side priority by reason that the more responds to students' learning needs and promotes a desire to learn through meaningful for the student.

Conflicts are a natural part of people's daily lives and we all know that they cannot be avoided. Equally common are conflicts in school as an institution, not at least in the interaction between teachers and students. The purpose of this study is to investigate how teachers think and reflect on the various classroom conflicts that arise with students, and which preventive measures the teachers use. This study intends to answer the following questions;What is it that characterizes conflicts between teachers and students in middle school?    How do teachers think that these conflicts can be prevented and what solutions can be applied?I have used in this study a qualitative research method as a tool.

I år, trädde en FAP från Rikspolisstyrelsen i kraft, RPS FS 2009:6, FAP 761-1. Den ger anvisningar till polismyndigheten samt aspiranten om vad som skall tillgodoses i aspirantutbildningen och vad myndigheten skall lägga vikt på i övrigt i den utbildning aspiranten får under sin tjänstgöring.Enligt studenternas egna upplevelser av hur processen har varit framkommer det att många ifrågasätter hur man har resonerat kring kvalitéer hos individer och hur man kan ge märkliga argument för att neka plats hos en särskild myndighet.Syftet med detta arbete är att lyfta fram det system som borde granskas ytterligare och kanske även förbättras genom att göra tillägg i föreskrifter eller genom annan nationell lösning hos myndigheterna. Detta skall betraktas ur ett par perspektiv som känns relevanta.Den juridiska biten uppfattas som dold och inte alls framträdande under själva processen till aspiranten. Det finns mycket information som är nyttig för den enskilda studenten som kan vara till hjälp och ge en slags vägledning till hur man skall gå tillväga med ansökan och överklagan till exempel.Det bör tas fram ytterligare styrdokument för både utbildningar och student så att många fler blivande poliser kan känna en trygghet och lugn inför aspiranten istället för att uppleva processen som en belastning på studier och privatliv..

Abstract: Människan har i tidig ålder behov av att uppleva samhörighet och känna tillhörighet till ett socialt nätverk för att utvecklas kognitivt, emotionellt och socialt. Tonåringens sociala samspel och vänskapsrelationer upptar en stor del av tonåringens tid, både när det gäller faktiska handlingar samt sinnet, och oftast sker den sociala samvaron på skolan. Syfte med denna studie var att öka förståelsen om kunskapen om hur vänskap påverkar betygen hos flickor i årskurs nio. Det vill vi göra genom att undersöka hur mycket tid flickor disponerar för studier och vänner samt om de uppfattar att deras vänskap påverkar deras betyg och dessutom hur flickorna ser på sina betyg. Vi vill uppnå syftet genom fasta svarsalternativ, vi bestämde oss därför för att använda enkäter och där med ansåg vi att en kvantitativ metod var rimlig för vårt syfte och våra frågeställningar.

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka vad den nya utbildningen ? Grundlärare mot fritidshem ? innebär för aktiva inom verksamheten, vilka förändringarna är och om de är välkomna eller inte. De medverkande i studien har insikt om både utbildning samt verksamhet, hur det sett ut och vad som är annorlunda idag. För att samla data till denna uppsats har fyra pedagoger och en student intervjuats under mars 2015. Dessa har alla gemensamt att de antingen utbildar sig inom eller arbetar inom fritidsverksamheten och ser hur den förändras.

In today?s society we depend on technology to perform the simplest tasks. Whether we are engaging in conversation with a friend or are navigating in traffic, we are likely to be found with some technological device in our hands. This dependence has grown over a period of time, and many of us have failed to reflect on the impact technology has had on our lives. The emergence of so-called One-to-One projects, where teachers and students gain access to a personal laptop, does however provide an excellent opportunity to do so.

Based on earlier experiences of mathematics and mathematical learning, both as a student and as a teacher, I became more and more interested in how well the publicly accepted opinions about mathematics as an uninteresting, difficult and ?geeky? subject corresponded to reality. What do Swedish pupils really think about mathematics and is it possible to identify any differences in their attitudes based on the pupils? age?From this point of view the following questions were formulated:·What are pupils? attitudes towards mathematics in grades 3, 6 and 9 and how do they conceive their learning conditions?·Is it possible to detect any differences in the attitudes and preferences depending on the pupils? age?The result of this study compares well with previous studies done in this and overlapping fields and indicates that:·Younger pupils tend to have a better liking of mathematics but with increasing age that interest fades out.·Most pupils, without regard to age, consider mathematics to be one of the most important subjects, despite the fact that many pupils also find mathematics difficult and boring.·For pupils of all ages, the teacher is the most important factor in the learning process. Older students have more specific demands on the teacher for knowledge and pedagogical skills.·A high noise level, talking and disturbances in the classroom are the most bothering elements when it comes to learning mathematics.
