Who is integrating school-holiday home? It is for the teachers, recreational pedagogue or the students? How do the students think and act to keep the different activities apart? My purpose was to study how children sort the day between school and recreational home interactions. The issues were: How do they distinguish between the different activities during the day?  See the students their stay after school program as part of the school day? Who decides whether you have to go to school, and whether you have to go to after school program? And do you really have to? I have interviewed six students at an elementary school, based from a phenomenographic perspective, I've used myself of issues that students have been able to respond from a school perspective and after-school perspective. My interview questions have been comparative in nature, where the same question have given different answers depending on whether the question focused on school or the afterschool program. Do you have to go to school/afterschool program? When are you at school/afterschool program? How do you know that you are in school or afterschool program? I have analyzed the interviews, from a child's perspective.  My results show that children can make a difference when they are at school and when they are in the afterschool program. The majority of the six students who I interviewed divide their day between work and play. They related work during the lessons and play to the afterschool program. Some of the interviewed students also made a distinction between the offices, subjects, friends and staff categories. I can also see a tendency for differences in the response that can be related to how old they are, and in what grade they are in.

The aim of this thesis is to map the role of a regional museum in art education. Based on my own experience as a museum education officer I have tried to describe the context of the development of an educational policy of a small museum. By comparing three examples of different educational programmes with clearly stated goals I arranged some participatory active research in which I took part and which I observed. Through analyzing these individual cases and comparing their partial aspects it came to light how beneficial it is for the museum's education officer to participate in developing and arranging the exhibition. Furthermore, these cases prove the point that museum-school communication is of vital importance and the programmes that had been discussed with teachers beforehand reach further and are more meaningful than programmes without consultation. Art education in a regional museum is irreplacable. Not only does it allow contact with the artefacts peculiar to the place where the student/client of the museum lives, but it also brings the possibility to practice other than just rational ways of thinking and perception. It has the capacity to reach out of its own bracket and become an interdisciplinary subject.
