Vi har undersökt hur man identifierar dyslexi på gymnasienivå för att få svar på varför dyslexiproblematiken ser ut som den gör i högre utbildningar. Syftet med studien är att ur ett pedagogiskt perspektiv undersöka hur en process av dyslexiidentifiering ser ut på gymnasienivå samt se hur verktyg/metoder som tillhandahålls fungerar. Vårt arbete har utgått ifrån frågor som:Vilka erfarenheter har pedagoger på gymnasiet av dyslexiidentifieringar?Hur fungerar resurser, såsom metoder och verktyg, är de tillräckliga för att upptäcka dyslektiker?Forskningsområdet har angripits med en kvalitativ metod genom intervjuer med olika typer av pedagoger på fyra gymnasieskolor i södra Sverige. Resultatet av intervjuerna visade att dyslexiidentifieringen är ett komplext problem där språkets betydelse har stor vikt för upptäckterna.

The Internet has played an important role for libraries giving them a means of fulfilling their democratic mission of giving equal access to everyone, including people with disabilities. In order to achieve this it is of the utmost importance that they ensure that their web sites are accessible. In this masters thesis we have examined to what extent the web sites are accessible. The thesis is based on theories of human-computer interaction, information architecture, pedagogy and a checklist. The checklist is derived from established international guidelines from W3C, which has been adapted to, and is used by Swedish public authorities to achieve the mission of a ?24-hour authority?.

The study is based on a human science perspective in which we are interested in the school as a workplace for adults and work with personnel issues. The aim is to contribute with new knowledge about what conditions an employee considers important to carry out their work, and employees' experiences of working in large personnel groups.We have made a case study in a Swedish local primary school for students in lower ages, with between 60-70 employees. We conducted nine semi- structured interviews with a hand-picked selection of employees from different occupational groups in the school. The study is empirical data -driven qualitative with abductive approach. To analyze the collected datamaterial, we have used the empirical data -driven thematic analysis.From the results of the study some aspects appear clearly; employees need to be seen by his/her boss, importance of employee autonomy and employee experience of stress.

I dag har de flesta arbetstagare förvandlats till medarbetare, åtminstone i teorin. Arbetsgivare söker numera "medarbetare" och kallar sina anställda så. Det låter trevligare - att "arbeta med", istället för det mera passiva "att ta arbete".Allt fler företag och organisationer har uppmärksammat vikten av medarbetarskap, i syfte att utveckla ansvarstagande och förändringsförmåga på arbetsplatserna.Den här uppsatsen är kvalitativ intervjustudie om hur anställda i en matbutik uppfattar medarbetarskap. Syftet med studien är, att få en djupare förståelse för hur de anställda i den organisation vi har valt att studera, upplever medarbetarskap och hur detta påverkar deras personliga utveckling. Som en del i medarbetarskapskonceptet påvisas också vikten av ledarskap, samt hur ett komplext begrepp som medarbetarskap upplevs av anställda i en platt organisation där alla strävar efter samma mål.Komplexitet av medarbetarskapet resulterar i att vi, i vår strävan att få en djupare förståelse i den här studien, tar upp olika aspekter som ledarskap, lärande och reflektion, som alla, enligt oss, spelar en viktigt roll i medarbetarskapet..

Denna studie syftar till att utveckla kunskap om hur professionella klassiska sångare förbereder sig och hanterar scenframträdanden. Studiens frågeställningar har varit hur klassiska sångare uppfattar vikten av mental förberedelse inför scenframträdanden och vilka funktioner de uppfattar att mental träning och scenisk beredskap har inom sångutbildning på olika nivåer. För att få svar på mina frågeställningar använde jag mig av kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra professionella klassiska sångare.Resultatet visar att informanterna lägger stor vikt på instuderingsprocessen i sin mentala förberedelse inför ett scenframträdande. Instuderingen ska påbörjas i god tid innan en konsert och genomföras metodiskt med fokus på teknik, text, musik och scenisk utformning. Studien visade också att informanterna hade tydliga rutiner under konsert-/föreställningsdagen.

The state of health in Sweden demonstrates a high average length of life at the same time as diseases, due to luxurious living, grew into more and more widespread public health problems. Finding out that information is not enough to get man to live healthy has been conducive to a pedagogic based health education.

Our purpose was to throw light upon how individuals, qualified as public health pedagogues, look upon their work on one hand and how different clusters of thought from their study programme are conceived as activated in their professional exercise on the other.

According to tradition transcribed music is an important part of the repertoar for the classical guitar. Baroque music as well as compositions from the Spanish national romantic era are the two most important sources for transcriptions. My research is aimed at finding answers concerning the relevance of transcribing as well as playing different styles of music on the guitar. Are there any basic rules how these transcriptions should be made? I have chosen to take a closer look at the music of J S Bach as a representative of the baroque period because of the great legacy of his music being played on guitar and lute.

A pupil with ADHD is constantly getting new impulses and is unable to focus and remain concentration on their task at school. When the pupil loses concentration he or she can often be loud and thereby disturbing all the other pupils in the classroom.

A recently study shows that working memory can be improved by playing and practice music.A theory that all people have a multiple intelligence that emerges from learning is a part of this study because school should encourage all children and ensure their individual learning. Multiple intelligences means that each person learns in different ways, for example through the musical intelligence that this essay partly focuses on.
