Bakgrund: Skolsköterskan är en del av elevhälsan och arbetar med att främja elevers fysiska och psykiska hälsa. Psykisk ohälsa bland elever är ett växande samhällsproblem. Det är ofta skolsköterskan som får första kontakten med elever som lider av psykisk ohälsa genom hälsosamtalen. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur skolsköterskor upptäcker samt stödjer elever med psykisk ohälsa på högstadiet. Metod: Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ metod. Datainsamlingen utfördes genom intervjuer med semistrukturerade frågor, sex skolsköterskor i två kommuner i sydöstra Sverige deltog. Resultatet analyserades fram genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Resultat: Första steget för att kunna stödja elever som lider av psykisk ohälsa är att upptäcka. Upptäckten görs framförallt genom hälsosamtal men även genom skolsköterskors fysiska närvaro i lokaler på skolan. Skolsköterskans samarbete med andra vårdgivare och instanser är viktigt för att hjälpa elever. Slutsats: Skolsköterskan upptäcker och stödjer elever med psykisk ohälsa genom samtal, genom sin tillgänglighet både på skolan och på mottagningen. Upplevelsen är att genom samverkan med föräldrar, skolans personal och andra instanser kan både upptäckt och stöd erbjudas. / Background: The school nurse is part of the student health care and is working to promote students physical and mental health. Mental illness among students is a growing social problem. Most often it’s the school nurse who gets the first contact with students suffering from mental illness through the health interviews. Purpose: The purpose is to describe how school nurses detects and supports students with mental illness in high school. Method: The study was conducted using a qualitative method. The data collection was conducted through interviews with semistructured questions, six school nurses in two small municipality in southeastern Sweden participated. The result was analyzed by qualitative content analysis with inductive approach. Result: The first step to support students with mental illness is to detect it. The detection is made primarily through health interviews, but also through the physical attendance of school nurses in the premises of the school. The school nurses collaboration with other healthcare providers and agencies is important for helping students. Conclusion: The school nurse detects and supports students with mental illness through conversation, being available both at school and at reception. Collaboration with parents, school staff and other organizations is successful.

Neste trabalho, faremos uma apresentaÃÃo da Ãlgebra Linear presente no ensino mÃdio de forma alternativa. Nesta forma, serà proposto a introduÃÃo dos conceitos de espaÃo vetorial e variedade afim, que serÃo exemplificados atravÃs do estudo das matrizes e dos sistemas lineares. Sendo assim as matrizes aparecem como elementos de um espaÃo vetorial e o conjunto soluÃÃo de um sistema linear como uma variedade afim. Neste texto nÃo serà abordado a ideia de determinantes, acreditamos que esta pode ser, sem muitos prejuÃzos, retirada do currÃculo matemÃtico da educaÃÃo bÃsica. / In this work, we will make a presentation of Linear Algebra in high school this alternative form. In this way, the introduction of the concepts of vector space and afine variety, which are introduced through the study of matrices and linear systems, will be proposed. Thus the arrays appear as elements of a vector space and the solution set of a linear system as an ane variety. This text will not be addressed the idea of determinants,we believe this can be without much damage, withdrawal of the mathematical curriculum of basic education.

This thesis is an ethnography that took place in an ‘underperforming’ school in the South of England. The school is located on a deprived estate, taking its pupils from an area in the bottom quintile with regard to deprivation indicators, and regularly features at the bottom of local league tables. Recently converted to academy status, the school was in the process of being rebuilt. The school in question is seen as abject by the broader community and features a large number of disruptive and disaffected students. The overarching research questions that this study focuses on are: What kind of person do resistant pupils want to be recognised as and what kind of place do they want school to be? Within this, the thesis examines how students develop an identity of non-participation as well as how they act in order to make their voice heard and affect the nature of the place they are in. In order to investigate these questions the paper draws on the work of Foucault (1979, 1982, 2003) who suggested that in order to understand how power relations work it is necessary to investigate resistance rather than trying to understand power from the perspective of its own rationality. This approach is useful since students in school do not resist specific institutions or groups, but specific instances of power personified by those that they come into immediate contact with on a day to day basis. It also mobilises concepts of space and place developed by Doreen Massey (2005) and Tim Ingold (2008) whereby space is a product of interrelations permanently under construction as opposed to simply a surface and place becomes a product of these intersections within the wider power geometry of space. This is particularly relevant to the context of a failing school, seen as abject by the surrounding community and struggling to maintain any improvement. The concept of voice as defined by Nick Couldry (2010) and the students’ belief that they lack control over their lives in school is also key in terms of understanding the motivations for their resistance. The thesis argues that the fact that the school is gradually being demolished and rebuilt is seen as a threat as well as an opportunity by the participants. Since the school was intimately bound up with their identity, the changes made were an assault on their identity. However, the cracks opened up by the construction work offered them opportunities to carve out places for themselves. The participants suggest that the lip service paid to student voice by the school is a key issue in causing students’ resistant behaviour. The students in the study find that their agency is denied by the school and this, coupled with their desire to be seen as adults with legitimate opinions about their schooling, results in their resistant behaviour.

The purposes of this study are: (1) to determine the popularity of extra-curricular organizations existing in the school as a means of indicating the successful and the unsuccessful groups in the school, (2) to establish the relationships of certain factors to the popularity of the activities so that efforts may be made to improve less successful activities, (3) to discover the extent and the popularity of social activities provided by the city of Cleburne, Texas, for the high school students in order that administrators of the school may have more insight into the extent of the need of high school students for social activities sponsored by the school.

I made this research to help children of Milagro City, Ecuador. Here, there is a high proportion of school students without their parents at home. It was possible todefine, by mathematical methods, the typical student’s characteristics, his typical family, and a typical situation at classroom according to the reasons of the absence (in a state school or in a private school) and some aspects about his recuperation; however you should not forget that this information is only a reference because each student is a different case to be entirely analyzed. This research could be repeated in other cities. / La presente investigación se ejecutó en la Ciudad de San Francisco de Milagro, Ecuador, debido a la elevada proporción de escolares sin padres permanentes. Se logró caracterizar matemáticamente al estudiante típico, a la familia típica de dicho estudiante, y a la situación típica en el aula de acuerdo a los motivos de la ausencia, ya sea de una escuela estatal o privada, así como también de ciertos aspectos relativos a su recuperación académica lograda; sin embargo se remarca que esta información es únicamente referencial, pues cada caso estudiantil es diferente. Esto no impide su réplica en otras ciudades con fines comparativos.

Denna studies syfte är att sammanställa vad aktuell forskning säger om spels inverkan på grundskoleelevers motivation i matematikundervisningen. Genom en systematisk litteraturstudie sammanställs och analyseras aktuell forskning på området. Resultatet tyder på att implementerandet av spel i matematikundervisning har en positiv inverkan på elevers motivation i matematikundervisning. Inre och yttre motiverande faktorer motiverar eleverna i olika grad och undervisningsformen kan innehålla både inre och yttre motiverande faktorer. Vidare studier om långvarig användning av spel i matematikundervisning rekommenderas. / The purpose of this study is to compile what current research says about the impact of games on primary school students' motivation in mathematics teaching. Through a systematic literature study, current research in the field is compiled and analyzed. The results indicate that the implementation of games in mathematics teaching has a positive impact on students' motivation in mathematics teaching. Internal and external motivating factors motivate students to varying degrees and the form of teaching can contain both internal and external motivating factors. Further studies on the long-term use of games in mathematics teaching are recommended.

The main topic of this dissertation is the phenomenon of premature exits from high-school studies which more often end by the really finish of studies. The problem is bigger that it seems to be and it is not only the problem just for education but it is the problem for the whole society with connetions to the economic, psychology, sociology and other areas. The term of this disseration is not only to determine the premature exits from high schools, their reasons and connections but to determine the pupil's personality from the evolutionary psychology view. The parts of this dissertation are also my own experiences and special arrangements to stop the premature exits from abroad. In the theoretical part I take the extract not only from the professional literature but my other sources are professional magazines, the National Education Institute and the Education Law. The practical part is based on the empirical research which is divided into few parts. It uses the quantitative research made by the data from the school register, and it is added of questionnaire for pedagogues, headmasters and new coming students. From the research we know that the premature exits mostly apply to the apprentices. It depends mostly on the disinterest in the course of study. In this part I connected the research with the...

(in English): In my work I deal with the occurrence of risk behavior of students of the 2nd grade of primary schools (in Prague 5). In the first, theoretical part of this work I deal with the explanation of concepts that relate to the issue and form the basis of the work. These theoretical findings are applied in the second, practical part, in which I am interested in whether the students of the 2nd grade are sufficiently informed about the manifestations of risk behavior, whether they are already in some form, whether in the school environment or outsider it, and also which manifestation of risk behavior is currently most pronounced in schools. In my work I also try to point out the short comics of the minimum preventive programs of primary schools. These data are read from the annual reports of primary schools, for a period of 2 years. For my work, I chose quantitative research, which includes a larger number of respondents, specifically online questionnaires. I chose students of the 8th and 9th grades of primary schools in Prague 5, because I find this target group is the most endangered by risk behavior.

This study was focused on the effect of pre-service teaching utilizing a co-teaching model on student achievement at an elementary school in a large, urban school district in central Florida. The contribution of university student teachers (i.e., interns) to elementary school achievement was investigated. Specifically explored was the difference between student achievement scores in classes with interns who participated in a co-teaching model and interns in classes that did not employ any structured approach to intern teaching. The researcher compared seven classes that employed co-teaching, where the university intern teacher and master teacher remained in the class conducting instruction, to seven classes that had a more traditional approach to the intern teaching. The co-teaching intern model did not exert a significant effect, either positive or negative, on student achievement. Also investigated was the effect of an intern, utilizing any model, on student achievement scores, when compared to similar classes without the presence of an intern. The study utilized 14 classes with interns and 13 classes without interns; each group had populations of approximately 285 students. The presence of an intern did not exert a significant effect, either positive or negative, on student achievement. However, the data indicated that the presence of an intern could positively influence mathematics scores. Additionally, the impact of teacher quality and socio-economic status on student achievement in reading and mathematics were explored. The data revealed the value of the individual teacher significantly affected student success in reading and mathematics. In reading, socio-economic status also significantly affected student achievement.

This purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention package that combined Skillstreaming procedures for the development of social skills with the use of video modeling for middle school students identified with ASD. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to determine if the video modeling intervention package has an impact on social skill performance of three middle school-aged students with ASD. A multiple probe design across participants was employed to assess the effects of the video modeling intervention package on two beginning social skills (i.e., initiate greetings and initiate a conversation). The participants were three middle school-aged students with ASD enrolled in a self-contained classroom. The dependent variable was the percentage of correct social skills components performed when greeting the teacher and initiating a conversation within in the first 10 minutes of class each morning. The independent variable was an intervention package that included video modeling and direct instruction for each social skill component with Skillstreaming procedures (i.e., modeling, role playing, feedback). The results of this research indicated that all three students improved their social skills performance following the implementation of the video modeling intervention package. Furthermore, during the maintenance phase, the social skills performance of each student was maintained. Recommendations for further study and for teachers of students with ASD are presented.
