Resultatet från mina gruppintervjuer diskuteras sedan mot den forskning jag presenterat i tidigare avsnitt samt mot olika gymnasieskolans olika styrdokument.

Läxans syfte och konsekvenser, är en kvalitativ undersökning om lärares syfte med läxor och om lärare använder läxan som ett verktyg i föräldrakontakten. I undersökningen intervjuas två högstadielärare och sex lågstadielärare där en av dessa arbetar och har utbildning inom montessoripedagogiken. I uppsatsen analyserar jag lärarnas svar utifrån Antonovskys begrepp, KASAM samt Vygotskijs teori om att lärande sker i samspel med andra. Alla lärare i undersökningen ger läxor. Studien visar att syftet med läxor skiljer sig åt beroende på vilket stadie läraren är verksam.

Bakgrund: Revisorns arbetsmetoder har utvecklats och förändrats i och med förändringar i omvärlden. Undersökningar som gjorts i USA visar att redovisningsutbildningen inte förbereder studenterna för dagens revisorsarbete, och att antalet redovisningsstuderande har minskat under senare år. Ett annat problem som uppmärksammats i USA är att många redovisningspraktiker slutat arbeta med redovisning och revision. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka hur ekonomistuderande, kvalificerade revisorer och redovisningsassistenter uppfattar redovisningsämnet på universitetsnivå och dagens revisorsyrke. Genomförandet: En enkätundersökning riktad till revisorer och intervjuer med två av dessa, samt en enkät riktad till studenter vid Linköpings universitet.
