Vad innebär en idrottsförskola? Detta är en av frågorna som vi ställer oss i vårt arbete som grundar sig på en idrottsförskolas mål och syfte. I vår undersökning använde vi oss av både observation och intervjuer som vi sedan kopplade ihop med litteratur och läroplanen för förskolor (Lpfö98). Litteraturdelen visar på att rörelse är viktigt för barns utveckling men även maten och miljön spelar en stor roll. Resultatet av vår undersökning visar att en idrottsförskola inte är ute efter att skapa några elitidrottare utan använder sig av rörelse som ett redskap för att nå de mål som finns för förskolan (Lpfö98). Resultatet visade även att idrottsförskolan lagt om sina mellanmål till nyttigare alternativ, har ett bra samarbete med olika typer av idrottsföreningar, har en väl fungerande föräldrakontakt, en bra kompetensutveckling för personal och arbetar utefter en rörelseinspirerande inne- och utemiljö.

Music affects us humans. Marketing has long made use of music as a means to enable customers to identify with a brand, and thus increase sales. The Influence of music is obvious, but can you use this on students, and how effective is it to use in a classroom?I will answer the question: how does soft music provide reassurance/create a harmoniums learning environment at the beginning of a lesson?By observing how students react and behave to the playing of soft music. My aim is to create different strategies that Teachers can effectively use to get students to ?jump in? to their lessons without wasting 5-15 minutes of class time.Professor Lennart Grosin conducts research into what is in Sweden called PESKO.

Personer med Aspergers syndrom har svårigheter inom det sociala samspelet. De är intresserade av kompisrelationer men har svårt att behålla vänner. Det är viktigt att människor i skolmiljön innehar en förståelse för elever med Asperger. Tidigare forskning är nästintill enbart baserad på pojkar och den här undersökningen utgår ifrån flickor. En kvalitativ metod användes med semistrukturerade intervjuer.

During spring 2007, I Matilda Lindblom, undertook my Bachelor Degree project in Furniture Design. The supervisors were Agneta Stake at Nola in Stockholm and Leo Jóhannsson, Teacher and examiner at Carl Malmsten CTD in Stockholm.The project was based on three elements:? Cooperate together with a producer for professional supervision? Learn to work from a given design brief.? To learn more about industrial production? Learn more about furniture for public areasI contacted a furniture producer called Nola AB, in Stockholm, who became my work partner during this project. The asked me to design a piece of furniture where you can sit and work with a laptop on. The target was for public areas, for example in parks, malls, or at airports.In cooperation with Nola, my ambition was to develop this piece of furniture that was the answers on their wishes and demands.

This essay has it purpose to view the assessment and grading in physical education in the Swedish school. Recently published reports from skolverket prove that boys have higher grades in the physical education than girls. Some mean that the reason of this is that the Teachers don´t follow the curriculum. The problems we chose to examine are how much do Teachers know how to use and connect the curriculum to their teaching? How much of the information and criterion in the curriculum do the Teachers use to grade their pupils? And most importantly we wanted to examine why boys gets higher grades then girls, when the curriculum doesn?t seem to suit boys any better than girls.We have interviewed Teachers in a certain district and our study shows that the Teachers have good knowledge about the curriculum.

In the preschool curriculum there is not much described when it comes to the subject of music. What is written about the aesthetic subjects is related to the overall learning moments, rather than separated into objectives for each subject. The learning includes, among other things, that the children will be offered a variety of cultural experiences. However, there is no explanation to what should be included in the use of music. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the function of preschool song circles, based on three preschool Teachers' stories.

This research aims to determine Teacher perceptions on alcohol- and drug use among students, as well as how they implement the municipality framework against alcohol and drugs. The research was carried out in a midsized town in the centre of Sweden. It is characterized by an inductive approach and was performed through a qualitative method. Results were analyzed from a hermeneutic approach, and theories used are system theory, salutogenic approach and Mead?s symbolic interaction theory.

Både genusforskning och jämställdhetsforskning visar att flickor och pojkar möts och behandlas på olika sätt beroende på vilket kön de tillhör. Genus beskrivs som något som konstrueras socialt, vilket i sin tur innebär att könsmönster är något som är möjligt att förändra. Enligt Läroplan för förskolan ska pedagoger arbeta för att motverka dessa traditionella könsmönster. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka pedagogers uppfattningar kring jämställdhet i förskolan och deras tolkning av uppdraget. Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod där fyra pedagoger i förskolan intervjuats.

Abstract This paper focuses on whether individual development plans as well as action programmes are needed.Pupils in need of particular support get to be involved in an action programme ? the school needs to provide any particular support a pupil needs. However, the individual development plan does not substitute the action programme. Thus an action programme as well as an individual development plan will be provided to students in need of particular support.The individual development plan follows the pupil throughout the entire education, regardless of whether its content changes, whilst the action programme pertains to a limited period of time. Pupils that are not in need of particular support are not likely to need to set goals for themselves in addition to those already set outside of school.

Denna studie syftar till att fördjupa förståelsen för skolsituationen hos elever i behov utav särskilt stöd, de elever som utgör diskussion i elevhälsoteam samt de elever som har någon form av diagnos. Studien antar en kvalitativ forskningsansats. Skolsituationen hos elever i behov utav särskilt stöd undersöks utifrån ett lärarperspektiv. Resultaten visar att elevernas identitetsskapande kännetecknas av individualitet. Centrala aspekter av elevernas identitetsskapande är vilken typ av svårigheter som eleven har och vilket stöd eleven får.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om pedagogerna medvetet stödjer förskolebarns språkutveckling genom att aktivera barnens koncentrationsförmåga med hjälp av instrumentalmusik. För att ta reda på detta genomfördes en enkätundersökning via internet bland pedagoger inom förskolan.  Resultatet från undersökningen visar att instrumentalmusik enligt pedagogerna kan användas för att stärka barns koncentrationsförmåga, samt att de anser att koncentrationsförmågan i sin tur har positiv inverkan på barns språkutveckling. Dock tyder resultatet på att inte alla respondenter gör den kopplingen hela vägen. De flesta ser sambandet mellan instrumentalmusik och koncentration respektive mellan koncentration och språkutveckling, men de kopplar inte ihop alla tre komponenterna.

The study is of qualitative research method, where the interviews are the main material for the study. This study aims to analyze Teachers and pupils perspectives on outdoor education in the early years of the elementary school. The main reason for this study is that all the literature in the area tends to lift up the positive aspects of the field. While the practice of education tends to go the other way, where the majority of our children?s classes takes place inside the classrooms.

In this thesis, the results of a survey regarding grade progression between secondary and upper secondary school in a municipality in the north of Sweden serve as the starting point for a study of the experiences and expectations of a number of 16 year old girls who are in the first year of upper secondary school. The study is performed by means of focus group interviews with female pupils from the three largest upper secondary schools in said municipality in an attempt to gauge their experiences of grades, grade assessment, Teacher practices and perceived differences in how boys and girls are treated. The results show that most of the girls are disappointed with upper secondary school so far. Many of them feel that secondary school was both more fun and more rewarding in a sense of learning. Their appreciation of how this more rewarding atmosphere affected their grades differed between the various groups.

The purpose of this examination paper is to get an understanding as an upcoming Teacher about how friends make an important impact on children?s identity development in school, their choice of friends circle and what kind of groups there can occur among them. With a deeper comprehension of these circumstances should an educationalist be more considerate and adapt his or hers education to prevent negative group formations and to be an outsider. To achieve my results I used a qualitative research method where I through observation handpicked eight students from upper level of compulsory school with different friend circles from two classes for further interviews. Beside this I observed students in their school environment for three days.

The main purpose of this study was to examine how preschool Teachers are working to promote each child's language development and whether they can ensure that they do that. Therefore I wanted to find out what a good language development implies for each Teacher, how they work to promote each child's language development in daily practice, how they measure the actual language development and also what conditions the Teachers have, to engage in a language development way to work. For the study, I chose a qualitative method, with structured interviews and all together I interviewed six preschool Teachers, within the same organization in a suburb close to Stockholm.  The results showed that there is an ambiguity, among the preschool Teachers, in what a good language development means, but it can be stated that they do have a language development way to work even if it needs to be developed. Further on, it has emerged that the Teachers have the tools to measure children's language development, although they do not have the conditions yet to use the method to the fullest. About the preschool Teachers own conditions in order to operate in a language development way to work, I concluded that they have a strong foundation to build on, but they still have much work ahead of them.
