This study aims to examine what Students in two schools think of the physical environment in their school, and how this affect their studies. My main question I wanted to answer was:How does the Students think that the physical environment affect their day in school?I also wanted to find out what the Students think is important in the physical environment in their school. The study is based on interviews with Students i two different schools. One secondary school, in which three eight-grade Students were interviewed, and one high school in which two Students were interviewed. The result of the interviews is that the Students think that their work in school is affected by the physical environment. The most important things is to feel safe in school and to have the possibilities to do studies without limitations in the environment, for example room to do their own studies, and a flexibility and variation in the environment.

Media often discusses school, teachers and Students. These discussions are often based on an adult perspective and Students' views on the subject are not enhanced. Therefore, this paper intends to examine Students' views on what they think makes a good teacher. Previous research shows that a good teacher can create the conditions for good learning based on the needs of Students, and this is therefore important to investigate. The theoretical basis for this essay is the definition of an authentic teacher that which in this essay will be discussed from the point of view of Fibaek Laursen (2004).

This study is about how Students 'performance in school is influenced by parents' educational background. The study has been performed by cooperation with two schools in Stockholm.

The study has partly been based on interviews with Students with special needs in mathematics. These Students were included in regular mathematics groups.

Truancy is a problem in the Swedish schools today, just as well as in other European and other developed countries where educataion is gratuitous. Teachers all over Sweden go to classes with a clear and well-planned schedule for the day. But some are unable to do their work because of asent Students. In this study I have chosen to focus on the perspective of the youths and the main question is: how do Students discuss and think about truancy. During the study I have chosen a qualitative approach and have therefore done observation in various classes in a Swedish senior high school in a suburb outside Stockholm during twelve weeks.

?This is a study of two school extern homework activities dedicated to helping Students with their homework. The questions at issue are 1) how are the homework activities organized when it comes to financing, planning, marketing and implementation? 2) Who participates as staff as well as Students and what are the requirements for participants? 3) What are the reasons for Students to attend school external homework sessions? Material was gathered by a survey among the Students at the activities and by interviews with principals for each activity. Two main findings are that the homework activities are almost exclusively visited by Students with immigrant background and that the main reasons for participating are difficulties with the Swedish language, and parents not being able to help their children with homework.
