The aim of this thesis is to expand the understanding of 16th century Flemish art by approaching paintings by artists Pieter Aertsen (1508-1575), Joachim Beuckelaer (1533-1574) and Pieter Bruegel (c. 1525-1569) from a different perspective. This is done by extending the discourse of art history, into a discourse of literary history and primarily 16th century novels by authors such as François Rabelais and Miguel de Cervantes. The paintings are studied in relation to these 16th century novels, by comparison and as a testament of this specific time period. A widening contextualization is also constructed in which a connection to the expression of the carnivals ambivalent form, as well as the notion of lower classes is explored.

Vårt syfte med denna studie är att beskriva hur förskollärare planerar och stimulerar barns lärande ute på förskolegården, samt vilken roll förskollärare har i de planerade respektive de fria aktiviteterna på förskolegården. För att få svar på våra frågeställningar har vi intervjuat sex förskollärare på fyra olika förskolor utan någon uttalad utomhusprofilering. Resultatet av studien visar att det måste finnas ett syfte med utevistelsen på förskolegården. Det behövs en jämn fördelning av förskollärarens arbetsuppgifter vad gäller tid för observation, planering och genomförande av pedagogiska aktiviteter. Förskollärarna i studien menar att de även behöver tid för andhämtning, vilket det främst ges utrymme till i förskolans utemiljö.

This survey aims to investigate and analyze how six teachers on a high school in Stockholm reflect on pedagogical aspects of problem based learning( PBL). The survey focuses on ana-lyzing how the teachers relate to the benefits and problems of PBL and how they reflect on the students development. The survey was conducted on a high school and the method used for the study was interviews, each taking 30-45 minutes. The outcome of the survey indicates that the teachers sees problem based learning as an alternative to what they define as tradi-tional education regarding its epistemology. They indicate that PBL allows the students to define their own questions, to be carriers of knowledge and to evolve analytic skills in relation to the basegroup.
