A new curriculum, entailing news for teachers as well as students, was implemented in 2011. Among other things History has been given a more prominent position in that every student will now study the subject. Can this decision lead to history being used more in the future?The aim of this thesis is to study the new curriculum, Gy11, as well the Lpf94 and Lgy70, based on Klas-Göran Karlsson´s typology where the use of history is divided into seven different categories. I will analyze the curricula, looking at what different uses of history that can be discerned as well as what changes have been made over time.

Studien belyser vilka motivationsfaktorer som finns till sångutveckling och förhållande till improvisation, som begrepp och verktyg. Jag har genomfört kvalitativa intervjuer och prak- tiskt undersökande med elever och lärare. Jag själv har genomfört två improvisationsövningar under fyra tillfällen med tillhörande reflektion med eleven. Intervjustudien kopplas till styr- dokument och lärarens uppdrag i skolan.Resultatet av min studie med eleverna visar att det finns en problematik i elevers osäkerhet och rädsla över att göra fel. Begreppen som låta fult och fel blir ett retoriskt problem då det ofta inte är klart för eleven vad begreppet innebär och då ett hinder i utvecklingen.

Min musikaliska bana har sin utgångspunkt i kyrkan. Det var här jag fick min första scenerfarenhet och musikaliska influenser. I och med min utbildning i jazz och improvisation har jag saknat att inte kunna spela min nyupptäckta musik i det sammanhang som jag kommer ifrån. Arbetet mynnade ut i en gudstjänst baserad på improvisationsmusik som hölls i Equmeniakyrkan Lerkil. Istället för att använda musiken till gemensam sång fick den rollen av att vara lots genom en nattvardsgudstjänst, i form av en ovanlig duo bestående av kontrabas och trummor.

Mitt syfte med arbetet var att undersöka vad som påverkar hur barn väljer böcker för fri läsning i skolan. Dessutom ville jag undersöka om det är skillnad i barnens val när böckerna väljs ur en boklåda som är komponerad av en bibliotekarie jämfört med när de väljer direkt ur hyllan på skolbiblioteket. Jag intervjuade 21 barn i årskurs 1 och 22 elever i årskurs 2. Intervjun var kort och innehöll en öppen fråga. Mitt resultat visade att eleverna i stor utsträckning valde samma böcker som sina kamrater, men ändå upplevde att de gjorde det av eget intresse.

The purpose of this paper has been to shed light on the ways the history represented at the City Museum of Stockholm can be used in education at the Gymnasia level. I have made use of the following set of questions to attain this purpose: 1) How is the City Museum's activity vis-á-vis the gymnasia organized and what is the purpose of this activity? 2) What positive results do the interviewees see in the collaboration between the schools and the Museum? 3) Why did the teachers represented in this paper choose to make use of the Museum in their education? The bulk of the study is based upon three interviews with the First Curator at the City Museum of Stockholm and two teachers, from Viola Gymnasiet and Skogsgårds Gymnasiet respectively. My method is qualitative and interpretative with hermeneutic features.In my interpretation of the source material I have made use of historian Klas-Göran Karlsson's classifications regarding the needs for various forms of history, use of history, users and functions of results. In this way I have been able to establish how the Museum and the teachers represented in the study make use of the history that is represented at the Museum.

C3LOOPS is an application for DJs and VJs based on surface interaction. A system is said to be based on surface interaction if it presents content on a two dimensional, endless surface that a user navigates through zoom, pan and incremental text filtering where processing is tightly coupled with the content without breaking the workflow.

Allowing navigation through time as well as the two spatial dimensions of an interaction surface the possibility of unlimited undo operations opens up.

Scatsång och röstimprovisation är speciella kännetecken som skiljer jazzsång från andra sångstilar.

Det är en fråga som har inspirerat mig till att göra denna studie. Syftet med denna studie är alltså att undersöka hur scatsången och röstimprovisation uppfattas av erfarna jazzsångare idag.

In the curriculum there are no guidelines about what substance you have to teach about. This gives the schools and teachers a big freedom.
