Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka vad lärare och pedagoger anser om effekterna av media, IT och IKT i undervisningen. Främjar eller hämmar det elevernas kunskapsinhämtande och vilken påverkan har den tekniska tillgången på elevernas skriftspråk, det vill säga hur mycket påverkas eleverna av det språk som förekommer i andra informella kontexter så som textmeddelande (sms) via telefonen, bruket av chattspråk samt de bloggsidor som de regelbundet besöker. Den variant av tillvägagångssätt jag har valt att grunda undersökningen på är av kvantitativ form. Påverkas elevernas skriftspråk något av den IT som förekommer i undervisningen idag och åt vilket håll i så fall? Som en parallell så pekar tidigare undersökningar på att eleverna vidgar språket med hjälp av den teknologi som går att tillgå i dagens undervisning.

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att undersöka vilka faktorer som kantänkas ligga bakom medias sätt att skriva om socialt arbete, på vilket sätt media skriver om socialt arbete utifrån hur tre svenska tidningsgenrer speglade det sociala arbetets profession åren 2002 och 2012 och vad detta kan tänkas ha för påverkan på läsarna och det sociala arbetets profession. Metoderna som används i undersökningen är en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och en diskursanalys. Materialet begränsas till artiklar publicerade i Sverige åren 2002 och 2012, från en national-, en regional- och åtta landsortstidningar. Faktorer som kan tänkas ligga bakom tidningars sätt att skriva om socialt arbete kan kopplas till att media använder sig av ett stiliserat berättande med bestämda roller. Socialt arbete får rollen som den starka myndigheten med makt över de svaga.

Genom att framställa vissa fenomen som viktiga och samtidigt exkludera andra har media en stor inverkan på hur vi upplever nyheter, exempelvis om forskning. De senaste decennierna har biomedicinsk alkoholforskning tagit allt större plats i nyhetsmedia, framför allt i artiklar som rör hälsofrågor. Forskningens inträde på arenor i individers vardagsliv är intressant, dels för att det kan öka informationsflödet från forskare till samhällsmedborgare och dels för att en ytterligare dimension ? forskningen ? läggs till sammanflätningen av samhälle, media och människa. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur tidningsläsare tolkar biomedicinsk alkoholforskning skildrad i media, och vilken betydelse detta har för deras förståelse av (alkohol)beroende.

On the 17th of January 2002 the Swedish government presented a bill to theSwedish parliament, proposing ways of strengthening the Swedish democracythrough reforms for increased elements of participatory democracy. A publicreport on the state of the Swedish democracy had been released two years earlierwith similar enthusiasm for participatory democracy. However, the participatoryideals of these two documents were strongly criticised by a group of scholars.The aim of this thesis is to analyze and compare the arguments articulatedbetween the years 2000 and 2002 by the actors mentioned above, and to examinetheir relation to arguments concerning political participation, articulated bythinkers from previous times. By classifying the arguments into different groupsdepending on their content I find that both parties in the Swedish argumentationfocus on the effects of participatory democracy on political equality, on theefficiency of the political decision-making and the quality of the decisions beingmade, and finally on the personal character of the citizens. Among the argumentsarticulated by thinkers from previous times, similarities with the Swedishargumentation can be seen as well as important differences.

Starting from the American discussion, concerning Internet at public libraries, the author shows the Swedish attitudes. The paper demonstrates that many Swedish public libraries have adopted rules forbidding retrieval of certain kinds of information, such as hard-core pornography and racist propaganda. The persons in charge of such actions claim that public libraries should provide high-quality educational literature and should not spread mass-produced, provocative information.

AbstractTitle: It?s not just a comment ? a study about Crisis Management on Social MediaAuthor: Malin Pettersson 910624 and Amanda White 920310Year: Spring 2014Level: Bachelor degreeDepartment: School of Business and EconomicsSupervisor: Carina HolmgrenExaminer: Frederic Bill Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop and test a theoretical model for Crisis Management on social media. Method: The overall literature that was found consisted of traditional Crisis Management and the communication that goes with it, and it was mainly written for traditional channels such as newspapers.

SammanfattningSyftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka vilka uppfattningar flickor och pojkar hade om sina kunskaper i geografi. Utifrån att allt som vi som individer möter påverkas våra kunskaper, har jag studerat om det fanns något förhållande mellan geografiska kunskaper, lek-, media- och resvanor och kön. Det empiriska materialet utgår från en enkätundersökning utförd på fyra klasser i årskurs nio. Eleverna fick besvara frågor om sina lek- media- och resvanor och frågor på natur- och kulturgeografi med antagandet att de tillgodogjort sig mål att uppnå i geografi. Analysen av resultatet, med utgångspunkter i beräknandet av chi2-värdet och i genuskontraktet och genussystemet, visade på att en kvalitativ skillnad mellan pojkars och flickors lek- och mediavanor reflekteras i deras geografiska kunskaper.
