The purpose of this Master?s thesis is to investigate the female reader of Science fiction literature, a genre by tradition dominated by men. Through qualitative interviews with seven female Science fiction readers, the relation between the reading and the readers? lives, as well as their concepts of the Science fiction genre and the community of Science fiction readers, was examined. The main theoretical framework used for the analysis was Yvonne Hirdman?s gender theory, Judith Butler?s concept of identity and Louise M.

This paper deals with how Science teachers in the Swedish secondary school choose the content in the education they give to the pupils. What are the reasons for their choices and what do they think of the purpose of Science in secondary school? Through interviewing Science teachers the investigation shows that there are three different views of how to choose content in the Science education: one focuses on the processes of Science itself, one integrates the socio-cultural aspects and one emphasizes the interests of the pupils.

In my paper I have compared popular Science and neutral Science regarding language and construction. My task was to find out if there are differences between the language of popular Science and that of scientific Science. The purpose of my paper is to answer four questions1.How do the authors present the bogbodies and the mummies in the two categories?2.What does the popular Science imagine that you want to read about?3.Is there a difference between the target groups of the two categories?4. Does the presentation of the subject have consequenses when it comes to contents and readers?I have studied how often the authors use drawings, photos, diagrams, maps, and if the titles of the chapters can tell you something about the nature of books.

Preschool has a long tradition of using picture books, both as entertainment and as a resource for educational activities. In Science there are two main application areas. The first one is Science concepts and the second is to teach basic Science process skills. These skills, observing, communicating, inferring, classifying, measuring and predicting reflects the methods used by scientists. Picture books potential to put Science concepts and activities that promote the use of Science process skills in a meaningful context, recommends using picture books for this purpose.

My purpose with this study was partly to examine how some Swedish Science teachers teach and their knowledge of the Science curriculum, and how this affects their teaching. I also aimed to compare the Swedish and Irish Science curriculum. The method I undertook to achieve this study was to carry out six interviews with Science teachers in Sweden. I also completed a text analyse of both the Swedish & Irish Science curriculum. The results of the interviews showed that the teachers think the curriculum is important but they do not always keep to it.

This Master´s thesis examines the conceptual ideas of Science fiction and Science fiction fandom produced in the Swedish fanzine Science Fiction Forum (1960-) between the years 1960 and 1980. Science Fiction Forum was and still is a fanzine published by Skandinavisk Förening för Science Fiction (Scandinavian Science Fiction Club). Both the club and the fanzine are a part of the phenomenon called fandom.A fandom is a collective of people called fans who form a community by sharing a special interest in a special object. The fanzine is one of the many material products produced by fans within a certain fandom. Science Fiction Forum and Skandinavisk Förening för Science Fiction were founded in 1959 and are a part of swedish Science fiction fandom, where the object of fandom is literary Science fiction..The primary focus of this thesis is the meta discussion on Science fiction and Science fiction fandom in Science Fiction Forum.

How do you see on natural Science within preschool? Does education and interest play a role for how the educationalist works with natural Science? And is the children?s interest for natural Science affected by the educationalist, what does the educationalist think himself? These questions have I under my teachers training and under deputyship in preschool asked myself and these questions lies to behalf for my investigation. I interviewed five educationalists on different preschools for my investigation.My investigation resulted in that I have been able to see a certain conjunction between how you work with natural Science in preschool and the educationalist education or interest. What also plays a role is that you often associate natural Science with knowledge of nature. The educationalist seems overall positive to natural Science, but depending of a lack of knowledge it feels strange and difficult.

Publication of Science fiction has a tradition in Sweden. Adult-fantasy does not. In recentyears, the 1980's, Swedish publishers have realised how profitable fantasy is. Of the totalpublication of the two genres between 1989 and 1994, 54% was Science fiction and 46%was fantasy. The reason for this even balance is that fantasy-books get reprinted more frequentlythan Science fiction-books.

This essay is a study that takes interest in technical and technological change essential to philosophy of Science. What is shown is the importance of an active attitude towards this change, by the articulation of the question: Does technical development lead to new ontological questions for Science? - and by the answer that such questions do appear.It is clear that passive assumptions in this matter might prohibit Science in the proceeding search for truth.By examples of ways in which technical development helps and challenges Science, it is concluded that scrutiny of the relationship between technical development and ontological suppositions and hypotheses within Science is well motivated..

Earth Science is a dynamic system Science that explores the structures and processes of the earth. Knowledge about the earth is important for citizens since the Science is a vital part in the sustainable development of the society. Without good basic knowledge the citizens don?t have the possibility to anticipate in the questions and decision-making that concerns e.g. anthropogenic climate change. In the Swedish school system earth Science is not an independent subject until academically studies at the University?s.

The purpose of this research is to survey and describe some Science teachers? conceptions of which assessment criteria they use at the marking process. Questions which are relevant for this research are the following: 1. Which assessment methods form the basis for Science teachers? marking process? 2.

During my education I have frequently noticed that pupils do not like Science or find it hard and dull. The purpose with this investigation is to find out how pupils experience their Science education and if they can understand the arguments for studying the subject at school.I have made a questionnaire study among pupils in grade 8 and 9. After analyzing their answers I have interviewed some of the pupils to get answers on further questions.The investigation resulted in conclusion that pupils have hard to connect their Science-education to their everyday lives. The most important element in forming the pupil?s opinions about Science is their relation to the teacher and how the lessons are set-up.The following questions will be answered in this paper:Do pupils understand why they have Science at school?Can the pupils see the use of scientific knowledge in their everyday life?How do pupils look upon their Science education?.
