In all types of learning situations, it is important to find each student where they are at the moment in knowledge. I have reflections about  what animal experience students have with them when they begin their education. This thesis is about what home environment and in home environment acquried animal experience student at agricultural college have. This work is based on data collected through questionnaire survey done in two agricultural colleges in middle Sweden in the spring of 2007. Questions were divided into four blocks, historical data such as on the environment in which pupils are growing up, animal habit, why they read on agricultural school and future data on what plans students have for future education and careers.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how teachers choose to work with the teaching of reading and writing skills, how teachers justify their choice of teaching method and how the documentation of student development is being used. This paper also discusses the definition of reading and writing, phonological awareness and how different reading- and writing educational methods can be combined. The gathering of information has been done through a literature review in which I have looked at past research on reading and writing. I have also conducted qualitative interviews with teachers involved in literacy learning. The result of my research shows that it is not possible to determine which literacy learning methods that are most effective.

Syftet med denna studie var att genom en kvantitativ ansats med enka?ter som datainsamlings metod ta reda vad socialsekreterare har fo?r upplevelser i fra?gor som ro?r ansvarsfo?rdelning na?r privata utfo?rare anva?nds vid placeringar av barn. Vi har tittat pa? vad socialsekreterare har fo?r upplevelser och erfarenheter av mo?jlighet till insyn, kontroll och uppfo?ljning samt hur de upplever kvalite?n pa? insatser pa?verkas na?r privata utfo?rare anva?nds vid dessa placeringar. Vi har pro?vat tva? hypoteser som formulerats utifra?n valda teorier om organisation som byra?kratisk och hierarkisk, samt som ma?lstyrd och rationell, och da?refter samlat in empiri och sammansta?llt va?r data och resultat.

Vi har upplevt att nyanl?nda elevers l?s-och skrivutveckling ?r n?got m?nga pedagoger har sv?rt att f?rh?lla sig till n?r den inte f?ljer den f?rv?ntade normen. Handlar det om en sen andraspr?ksinl?rning eller r?r det sig om andra l?s- och skrivsv?righeter? H?r finns ett behov av f?rdjupade studier f?r att tydligg?ra var sv?righeterna finns och hur de kan uppm?rksammas och finna en l?sning p?. V?r f?rhoppning ?r att studien kan vara till hj?lp f?r pedagoger inom den svenska skolan att bli b?ttre p? att uppt?cka eventuella l?s- och skrivsv?righeter hos nyanl?nda elever.

Idag finns det inte n?got krav p? elevh?lsa p? komvux eller p? yrkesh?gskolan. Samtidigt visar flera studier att vuxna elever i behov av st?d ?kar. P? komvuxutbildning l?ser eleven gymnasiekurser mot ett yrkesprogram och yrkesh?gskolan ?r en eftergymnasial utbildning som utbildar mot ett yrke.

Websites today only offer simpler form of technical analysis and are not fun to use, therefore student decided to build a website that makes technical analysis a bit more fun by giving user possibility to experiment with settings for technical indicators and also see clear visible results from analysis. Student decided to build website in ASP.NET. Technical indicators for this project only consist of those who give buy and sell-signals via cross-over, no divergence or pattern finding.This project has three questions that define this project. It?s important that there is good functionality so that performing an analysis is perceived as simple, one question is therefore; what functionality for website is needed in order for analysis to be perceived as more simple?Technical analysis is a pretty complex subject and demands an interface that is perceived as easy to understand and easy to use, it?s therefore important that the interface is well designed, second question is therefore; how should the interface be designed to be user-friendly?When systems grow large they often become hard to develop and later on unmaintainable because of the accumulated complexity and dependency between classes, the code is a mess, the last question is therefore; how can the systems complexity be eased with object-oriented design principles?Jakob Nielsens ten heuristics for User Interface Design were used as inspiration for designing the interface for the website.

It has been shown in various research contexts that action programs do not always work as they should, even though there are clear guidelines on how the action programs should be designed and used. The aim of this study is to illustrate which processes that occur before an action program as well as how these processes lead to action that will give the student the support he or she needs. Through qualitative interviews with eight teachers, I have tried to answer the questions that I created. I have tried to answer my research questions that I have made based on the purpose. The questions are; What type of inquiry will be done if a student risk to not reach the knowledge goals? How will the inquiry support the action program? In what way does the action program support pupils in special needs? The result of my survey show that the survey being done for an action program is very individual-focused and that the mapping rarely shows on the teachers role or school environment to students who fall into special needs.

In this master thesis we suggest a recreational directed forest management plan for the Skedalaskogen. The forest is situated 10 kilometres east of the city of Halmstad and is owned by the municipality. We have in literature and in research investigated what people like and want in the forest, how to manage the forest for recreation according to for example tree species, mixtures and density. We tried to adapt the forestry methods more to recreational thinking. We have also looked at issues like what is rare and not rare in this part of the country according to nature and forest, where people live and which connection they have to the Skedalaskogen. The Skedalaskogen is a quite big area, totally 830 hectares. The area have about 100 000 visitors a year.

Vocal technique and interpretation are the key elements of voice training. Thepurpose of this article is to investigate what vocal technique and interpretation meanto teachers and students and how they would describe the relationship between thetwo. The questions at issue, intended to be answered in this article, are the following:What is the relationship between vocal technique and interpretation? How should theteaching be structured for the students to experience progress on the musical plane?What role does the teacher have in the musical development of the student?This is a qualitative survey and the methods of investigation are semi-structuredinterviews and classroom observations. Presented in the article are a number ofresearchers and writers whose thoughts on the subjects have gained great importanceto vocal teachers and students, as well as leading the research on the voice and itsfunctions forward to higher grounds.

In this essay we aimed to find how economic scarcity among children and youth presents itself in school, according to how school staff experience it. We have conducted interviews with student welfare staff to hear their experiences of this subject and how the schools try to help these pupils. We have used interpretative phenomenology as a base for our work. We have also used some of this traditions most important notions along with notions of Erving Goffman and Sara Ahmed during our processing off the material.  With help from these, we report our most interesting results. We have seen that a lack of resources exists among youth today and that everyone not has easy access to things many of us might take for granted.

The aim with this master thesis is to analyze a scientific material concerning the context between learning and child/student development, and factors which controls process of learning, to create an image with quality account and teaching in mathematics, which then can raise the mathematical knowledge among students.The phenomena which stand in focus for the investigation is: why there is a negative tendency for development of knowledge in mathematics, among the Swedish students that TIMSSs investigations showed in intercultural comparison within the years 1993, 1999, 2003 and 2007.The method is the ethnographical method, which is based on: analyzing scientific theories about learning child/student development, factors which controls process of learning, and factors which controls process of learning the most and qualitative empiric investigation with qualitatively analyzes the questionnaires, which is about factors which are controlling the process of learning and factors which are controlling the process of learning the most.Result of the theoretical and empiric analyzes shows that factors as school environment, attitude for subjects and teaching, controls and influence the learning. To end a unenthusiastic tendency as a negative development of mathematical knowledge among students that is shown in TIMSS investigation and to elevate the students' performance in mathematics, an elevated qualitative account and teaching in mathematics, by the factors named. Safe school environments as the intercultural meeting place, the teachers influence part to the students' subjects' attitude in mathematics and goal related grading criteria in teaching, is all required for e qualitative teaching in mathematics..

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie ?r att belysa f?rskoll?rares arbete med flerspr?kiga barn. Studien utg?r fr?n sociokulturell teori och dess centrala begrepp som ?r mediering, appropering och proximal utvecklingzonen. F?r att kunna f? svar p? v?ra fr?gest?llningar har vi genomf?rt intervjuer med sex f?rskoll?rare.

Denna underso?kning riktar sig till alla som kan ta?nkas vara intresserade av (utredning om) samverkan och/eller sammanslagning av skolor och andra organisationer. Underso?kningen kan vara intressant fo?r politiker, rektorer, och (musik)la?rare inom och utom fa?ltet musikforskning da? den betraktar samverkan ba?de ur ett allma?nt perspektiv och ur ett ?musikperspektiv?.Syftet med denna studie a?r att problematisera en utredning om samverkan mellan en kommunal musikskola (Degerfors) och en kommunal kulturskola (Karlskoga). Underso?kningen utgo?r en kvalitativ fallstudie och data samlas in fra?n nio la?rare vid den kommunala musikskolan genom fokusgruppsamtal och intervjuer och kompletteras med annat material bland annat fra?n Degerfors kommuns Kultur- och utbildningsna?mnd.Syftet uppfylls genom att fokusera de upplevelser, erfarenheter och reflektioner la?rarna vid musikskolan har kring utredningen om samverkan mellan de ba?da skolorna och ocksa? genom att bland annat underso?ka vilka risker och mo?jligheter musikla?rare vid musikskolan ser med samverkan de ba?da skolorna emellan.Resultatet visar bland annat att la?rarna a?r osa?kra pa? hur ide?n om samverkan presenterades fo?r dem.

Denna undersökning byggds på intervjuer av studenter ifrån det fyraåriga sjöingenjörsprogrammet på Sjöfartshögskolan i Kalmar under ht 07 och vt 08.Syftet med undersökningen var att undersöka hur eleven såg på kommunikationen med handledaren under den fartygsförlagda praktiktiden.Metoden som användes var kvalitativt styrda intervjuer. Dessa genomfördes med hjälp av Kvales intervju tekniker. För analysering av intervjuerna användes Jacobsens teorier om kvalitativa innehållsanalyser.Efter genomförd undersökning kom man att se att studenterna tyckte att det fanns tendenser till kommunikationsbrister mellan student och handledare under den fartygsförlagda praktiktiden. Dessa kommunikationsbrister berodde enligt studenterna på tidsbrist samt brist på engagemang hos handledaren.Trots brister i kommunikationer ser ändå de flesta intervjupersonerna positivt på sitt framtida yrkesutövande. Med underlag av denna undersökning ser vi dock tendenser till att en översyn av praktikfartyg samt engagerade handledare kanske är i sin ordning..
