Vi har i vår forskning belyst hur elever upplever arbetet med öppna respektive slutna frågor. Vi har framförallt tittat på hur arbetet med öppna och slutna frågor haft för inverkan på elevers möjligheter till perspektivbyte i tid och rum. Öppna frågor har i vår forskning varit lika med hög frihetsgrad medan slutna frågor är lika med låg eller ingen frihetsgrad. Vi har i vår forskning jämfört resultatet av en essäuppgift från två grupper med elever från årskurs 6. Dessa två grupper har innan uppgiften vägletts i temat ?En resa till Kina? i var sin experimentlektion.

To build a good relationship to the students, the teacher has to have good knowledge of each individual student and its disability.

SammanfattningTitel: Gymnasieelevers perspektiv på deras hälsa och motivation i skolmiljöFörfattare: Sofia JovannelliHandledare: Monica NaeserSyftet med uppsatsen var att få en djupare förståelse av hur gymnasieelevers perspektiv är på deras hälsa och motivation.Vilka olika faktorer anser eleverna påverkar deras hälsa och motivation i deras skolmiljö?Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med sex gymnasieelever undersöktes deras perspektiv på hälsa och motivation.För att ge mer fakta och teorier om uppsatsens frågeställningar studerades även tidigare forskning.Studiens centrala tolkningsram är teorin om KASAM, teori om motivation, läroplanen samt tidigare forskning i ämnesområdet.I uppsatsen har framkommit att människors hälsa påverkas både positivt och negativt under skoltiden, men att alla elever trots att de ibland upplever skolmiljön som problematisk t.ex på grund av stress, bibehåller en vilja att fortsätta sina studier.Intervjuerna visar att de intervjuade eleverna är nöjda med sin tid på gymnasiet.Intervjuerna stämmer överens med tidigare teorier om hälsa och motivation då det genom intervjuerna visat sig att en förutsättning för psykiskt välbefinnande och en positiv utveckling är att man lever i ett begripligt sammanhang, med lagom anpassade krav och med möjlighet att påverka situationen..

Research shows that there is a lack of knowledge of adult students with ADHD. Most of all research focuses on children with ADHD in school. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how adult learners with ADHD experience academic studies related to cognitive difficulties, emotion, motivation, and their experience of SOC. The questions tried to determine how any cognitive difficulties and emotions are perceived, how students' motivation to study impacted and their experience of SOC based on studies in higher education. To answer the purpose and questions used qualitative interviews based on three students with ADHD using a hermeneutic method.

De flesta arbetsmiljöstudier i skolan är riktade till personal eller till de yngre åldrarna, därför fattas det kunskap om unga vuxnas upplevda studiemiljö. Syftet med studien var att beskriva högskolestudenters upplevelser av en god psykosocial arbetsmiljö. För att svara på syftet valdes kvalitativ metod och semistrukturerade intervjuer som sedan analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Urvalet av informanter skedde genom massmejl där intresserade studenter ombads ta kontakt med forskaren. Åldersspridningen på de 10 informanterna var 20-41 år och fyra av fem sektioner på den valda högskolan i södra Sverige var representerade.

This thesis describes redesign and adaption of a products housing. In order to make it more economical to produce at a lower production volume. The thesis is based upon a prototype that a previous student developed for injection moulding. The goal is to find alternative manufacturing methods, but also to identify parameters that affect the cost of the injection moulding tool.The housing must be tough in order to protect the circuit board inside. But at the same time it must allow sound, light an electrical communication to pass through.

The aim of this work is to examine how a number of class teachers reason about and find their work while teaching students who have reading and writing difficulties / dyslexia. The empirical study was intended to answer the question based on three questions.The work is based on a qualitative method as empirical material gathered in semi-structured interviews. Six classroom teachers, one male and five female teachers were interviewed. The interviewees were from six different schools in Stockholm Municipality and were between 27-61 years old.Most of the classroom teachers feel that there are approximately 4-5 students with reading and writing difficulties / dyslexia in each class. Half of the teachers feel that students with dyslexia may be different as they are quiet, unsecure and shy.

I olika perioder har ämnet våld inom psykiatrin lyfts fram i media, ofta i samband med att ett våldsdåd har begåtts av en ?våldsam psykpatient?. Varken i media eller i den tidigare forskningen är det vanligt att ämnet blir belyst ur ett patientperspektiv. Denna kvalitativa studie försöker fånga ett inifrån-perspektiv och tar sin ansats i att försöka beskriva vad som kan leda fram till att det uppstår konflikt- och våldssituationer på en sluten psykiatrisk avdelning. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av samtal med sju personer med erfarenhet av våld under sin vistelse på en sluten avdelning.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the primary motivation for studying abroad among students at Södertörn University, and also examine how the time studying abroad will affect the students on a personal level. The essay is based on a qualitative approach of ten interviews with students who have already completed an exchange program. With the help of the theoretical concepts of push and pull factors, motivation categories, human capital and previous research, the results and analysis showed a coherent pattern. It turns out that the majorities of students are primarily motivated by the opportunity to enjoy a nice nature, new environment and get to know new people. The time studying abroad mostly contributed to the student?s personal development and also gave an understanding of other people and different cultures.

Syftet med denna C-uppsats var att undersöka hur skolpersonalen upplever det stöd som finns tillgängligt för eleverna på skolan. Studien genomfördes på en skola i Västsverige där tillvägagångssättet i studien var intervjuer med sex personer ur skolpersonalen. Deltagarna i undersökningen var sex personer med olika arbetsuppgifter på skolan där professionerna: skolsköterska, skolkurator och lärare innefattades. Metoden som användes var kvalitativ metod. Det finns väldigt få forskningsrapporter som belyser frågeställningar om elevhälsans tillgänglighet sett ur ett personalrelaterat perspektiv inom den kvalitativa forskningsmetoden.

My objective for this project was to create a short but thrilling 2D-animation intended as promotion for an online comic book. The purpose of the project was to learn more about animation and graphics, to further my artistic skills and to learn how to work in Adobe After Effects. I also wanted to learn more about scheduling, project methods and how to handle stress. During the ten weeks of the project I have created the story, the storyboard, the character design, the backgrounds and the animation. The voice over was recorded with the help of a fellow student who also made the music and the sound effects.

This study has emerged from a growing interest in students' sleeping habits. During practical training as teachers, we have noticed a discussion of students' sleeping habits, fatigue and student performance at school in relation to their sleeping habits.

The material was collected from a questionnaire that was answered by 200 students in 4-6th grade and 188 students in 1-2th grade in the upper secondary school, this to give an opportunity to see if there were any differences between the different age groups.
