Yrkeslärare med ansvar för arbetsplatsförlagt lärande (APL) använder sig av olika metoder för att säkerställa att APL följs upp på ett strukturerat sätt. Studien åskådliggör de metoder som lärare med APL-ansvar använder i uppföljningen av APL. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten fokuserar på vilken kunskap som synliggörs genom dessa metoder. Tidigare forskning visar att en strukturerad process skapar förutsättningar för en bättre slutprodukt. Slutprodukten likställs i studien med en mer yrkeskunnig elev.

Syftet är att undersöka på vilket sätt vägledningssamtalet bidrar till individens motivation till förändrad karriärinriktning. Utifrån syftet har följande frågeställning formulerats: Vad är det i vägledningssamtalet som bidrar till individens motivation till förändrad karriärinriktning?

Our paper is targeting mainly students, but also all other people interested in social work with children. The purpose of our study was to investigate how the social workers experience and handle their work with children, who have been exposed to sexual abuse, and what kind of support and guidance the social workers are offered, in order to handle their working situation. We chose to perform a qualitative study, by the use of interviews, since we found it to be the most appropriate way to gather the information. Our conclusion is that the work with these issues is emotionally burdensome and requires a great commitment, however it is essential for the social workers to maintain a certain distance to their work, in order not to influence their personal lives. It is through experience and knowledge that the social workers learn how to handle their working situation.

Anledningen till att jag valde att go?ra en studie om yrkesla?rare pa? Restaurang- och livsmedelsprogrammets syn pa? kompetens, bottnade i en nyfikenhet i hur dessa la?rare kombinerade yrkeskunskap med pedagogik. Ansa?g dessa yrkesla?rare att yrkeskunskap var det centrala eller skulle fo?rdelningen mellan pedagogik och yrkeskunskap vara mer ja?mnt fo?rdelad? Syftet med denna studie var att underso?ka yrkesla?rare pa? Restaurang- och livsmedelsprogrammets syn pa? sin yrkeskompetens. Anledningen till begra?nsningen att endast anva?nda mig av la?rare pa? Restaurang- och livsmedelsprogrammet beror pa? att det a?r inom detta omra?de jag sja?lv a?r verksam, och da?rmed a?ven intresserad av.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vilka hinder och möjligheter människor upplever förbundet med avancemang. Attityden undersöktes utifrån områdena arbetsrelaterade behov, kön, familj, stöd, organisation samt personlighetsdrag. Studien utfördes genom ett frågeformulär som fylldes i av 93 anställda vid ett tillverkningsföretag. Resultatet visar att arbetsrelaterade behov, stöd samt familjesituationen påverkar attityden till avancemang. Höga värden för dessa förhållanden samvarierade med hög attityd till avancemang.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie i form av sju semistrukturerade intervjuer var att undersökahur olika aktörer arbetar för att stödja sina klienter mot en positiv framtid. Avsikten var att belysa klienternas behov, hur väl dessa stämmer överens med det stöd aktörerna erbjuder samt att undersöka om detta stöd har likheter med det sätt på vilket studie- och yrkesvägledare arbetar. Resultatet visar att klienternas behov är komplexa men till stor del handlar om stöd i att skapa en bättre självbild och stöd i samverkan mellan olika instanser. Detta stämmer väl överrens med det stöd verksamheterna erbjuder. Inom samtliga verksamheter används också för studie- och yrkesvägledare `typiska´ aktiviteter.

Our conclusion is that the work with these issues is emotionally burdensome and requires a great commitment, however it is essential for the social workers to maintain a certain distance to their work, in order not to influence their personal lives. It is through experience and knowledge that the social workers learn how to handle their working situation. We also learned that although the work with sexual abuse against children gave birth to different emotions of the social worker, the social workers feel satisfaction with their work, by helping the exposed children. We hope that our paper will inspire and encourage to further studies in the area, since there is still much to be explored. .

Newspaper articles and media have shown that the use of illegal weight loss compounds, such as ephedrine and Melanotan, is becoming more common among adolescent girls, who are at risk of becoming a new group of addicts. These girls are rarely aware of the risks that the use of these compounds entails and the consequences that could adversely affect their bodies, mentally and physically. The aim of this paper was to investigate the use of and attitudes towards illegal weight loss compounds amongst girls in year three, at Swedish upper secondary schools. In order to do that, a questionnaire was sent out to 120 girls in five different high schools, with varying college preparatory and vocational program directions. My research shows that the use of illegal weight loss compounds, particularly ephedrine, was found among girls in year three, at upper secondary schools. Seven percent of the girls claimed they use, primarily, ephedrine. This result exceeds earlier studies findings on boys' use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS).

Syftet med min studie var att utvärdera ett första steg i ett treårigt pilotprogram i karriärvägledning på gymnasiet. Karriärvägledningen genomfördes i två klasser på Hotell- och restaurangprogrammet. Målet med karriärvägledningen var att elever i mindre grupper skulle få chansen att identifiera och formulera sina behov, intressen, egenskaper och förutsättningar för att se sin egen karriärutveckling och ta ansvar för sin karriärprocess. För att försöka få en djupare förståelse för hur faktorer som intresse av valt program, trivsel och studiemotivation påverkat elevernas karriärutveckling, intervjuades åtta elever. Som ett sammanfattande svar på min frågeställning, blir svaret att samtliga faktorer har en stor inverkan på elevernas karriärutveckling.
