Abstract This examination work is about the role of physical activity for students with concentration difficulties. The purpose of this work is to describe educators experiences of how students with concentration difficulties are affected by physical and motor activity during school-time in primary school. In the work I assume from my questions that are: How do educators experience students with concentrations difficulties? Do educators think physical and motor training during school-time matter for the students learning processes? How? Do students with concentration difficulties have other possibilities than other students regarding physical and motor activity during school-time? I am using a qualitative interview method for answering my questions. The interviews are conducted in collaboration with three educators in a medium-sized Swedish F-6 school. The results of the interview study are compiled and analyzed in a discussion section where even earlier research and literature are processed. The conclusions that I have reached in my examination work are that educators have considerable knowledge and experience of students who have concentration difficulties both with and without a diagnosis. It also appeared that students with concentration difficulties might get other opportunities for education but not in scheduled physical and motor training during school-time. Finally, it was also the physical and motor activity that play a role in student learning, not only students with concentration difficulties but for all students.
