Despite of this morbid jealousy is considered to be under-researched.

In the current situation there is not much written about assessment of laboratory work, and the majority of the working physics teachers are retiring and there are only a few newly qualified physics teachers. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how physics teachers assess laboratory work within upper secondary schools, with Gy2011 in mind. The new grade system, Gy2011, has a larger focus on the laboratory work then the earlier system Lpf 94.

The first assess-ment is regarding the planning of a laboratory work and the other about how able the pupil exe-cutes laboratory work.
