<p>The purpose of this study has been to explore the expectations of the primary school on the activities of the pre-school. In order to limit the study I have chosen to compare the expectations found in two different schools. In the first case, the pre-school is integrated with the after-school centre and grade one to three (primary school), into the same building. In the other case, the pre-school share localities with the after-school centre in a separate building, with its own yard, within the primary school area. Since the purpose is rather comprehensive, it has been divided into sub-themes with separate set of questions. The sub-themes chosen are in themselves factors, which I believe to be of importance for the main purpose. I have used a qualitative method, why the answer may not be generalised, but give us a deeper understanding of the main question in my research, I have interviewed teachers and pre-school teachers as well as used curriculums and existing research, in order to shed light on the main question from different scientific perspectives. The result of this study shows, that the integration of the pre-school within the primary school, may be of great importance for cooperation and communication. The primary school’s expectations, however, seems to be more the result of the teacher’s and preschool teacher’s interpretations of the curriculums.</p>

This Diploma thesis deals with the support friendly relationships in the classroom for the use of the methods and techniques of drama. The theoretical part focused on the characteristics of primary school pupils and school classroom as a social group. In the methodological part of the program I present the main methods of investigation, such as conversation, social and psychological games, methods and techniques of drama and preparation games and exercises. In the practical part I propose an intervention program where the methods and techniques of drama friendly seeks to foster relationships in the classroom intervention program has a range of six meetings with the classroom and verify its applicability for school practice.

The purpose of this essay is to investigate how parents of children with ADHD or autism experience the transition between preschool and preschool classes. To get answers to my questions, I interviewed five parents representing three different schools in one municipality. I have chosen to use a qualitative research interview inspired by phenomenology. The results of this study show that parents perceptions differ, in terms of how well the transition work for children, and how support and treatment are at a transition. For children with a documented diagnosis, schools have an action plan for those in the gray area there are no procedures. An inference to be drawn from the responses parents give, is that much could be overcome if educators and parents listened to each other and took lessons from each other’s knowledge.

The purpose of my study is to investigate teacher’s perceptions of their mission in the preschool class, and how they work to promote children’s written language development. What methods and working methods they use to awaken curiosity and motivate children to read and write. I am using the qualitative research method to get answers to my questions. I have made four qualitative interviews with four teachers in preschool classes from different schools. My questions are: What conceptions does teachers have about their mission in a preschool class? What different methods and approaches does teachers use to stimulate and wake children’s curiosity for reading and writing development? The theoretical basis for my study is the socio-cultural perspective, where learning occurs in interaction. Reading and writing arises from a social-cultural perspective in which social relationships with adults and other children affect the children’s reading and writing. The results of the interviews showed that teachers use different methods to promote children’s literacy development. Teachers whom I have interviewed agree that the social interaction, play and reading aloud are important elements in children's learning and development. Teachers’ perceptions were different on how much to work with development. The reason may be is that the preschool did not have clear objectives for the teachers to work after.

The aim of the present thesis is to examine various aspects of the school-class structure and their links to health in a life-course perspective. The empirical studies are based on two longitudinal data materials of cohorts born in the 1950s, followed up until middle age. In the first study, the overall status distribution in the school class was shown to be associated with both minor psychiatric disorder in childhood and self-rated health in adulthood. Thus, ill-health was more common among individuals who attended school classes less equal in terms of status. The second study demonstrated that it was more common among those who had fewer mutual friendships in the school class to report poorer health as adults. Socioeconomic career emerged as the primary explanation for men while, for women, these findings were largely unaccounted for by any of the included child and adult circumstances. Findings from the third study suggested the child’s status position in the school class, i.e. peer status, to be related to a wide range of health outcomes in adulthood. In particular, lower peer status was linked to an excess risk of mental and behavioural disorders, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Childhood social class did not confound these associations to any large extent. The fourth study examined two types of social isolation in the school class: marginalisation (low peer status) and friendlessness. Hospitalisation due to any disease was more common among marginalised children compared to among non-isolates, whereas no corresponding association was found for the friendless. For both types of isolates, the number of hospitalisations was greater than among non-isolated individuals. Of the studied childhood factors, scholastic ability emerged as an important mechanism. In sum, this thesis points to the relevance of the school class for health development across the life course and to the complexity of pathways through which influences of the school class may operate. / At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 1: Submitted. Paper 2: Accepted.

The purpose of the study is to contribute to the field of social access in children's free play in the pre-school class, by looking at how children are included and excluded and how power structures arises in the free time. In order to capture the events that occur among the children, observations were chosen as research method. The results show that the children wanted to play with each other, and that the most common way to facilitate play was to ask "Can I join?". There were also other strategies being practiced regularly. It was also common to exclude other children from playing, and this was especially when the children wanted to protect their ongoing game, or that someone was not allowed to join because he or she ruined it for the others. Other aspects that affect which status the children had in the group was when they compared their skills with each other, to see who could jump the farthest, draw the best and so on. Knowledge on how to read and write were two other abilities that gave high status in the pre-school class. / Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur socialt tillträde och makt visas i en förskoleklass, och då titta på hur barn inkluderas och exkluderas och de maktpostitioneringar som uppstår i den fria leken. För att kunna fånga händelser som sker mellan barnen, valdes observationer som undersökningsmetod. Resultatet visar att barnen gärna ville umgås med varandra, och att det vanligaste för att få vara med och leka var att fråga "Får jag vara med?", men det fanns även andra strategier som förekom regelbundet. Att exkludera andra barn ur den sociala gemenskapen var också vanligt, och då framförallt för att barnen ville skydda sin pågående lek eller att någon inte fick vara med för att den förstörde för de andra. Andra aspekter som påverkade vilken status barnen hade i barngruppen handlade om att de jämförde sina färdigheter med varandra; vem som kunde hoppa längst, rita häftigast och så vidare. Här kom även kunskaper som att läsa och skriva in, vilket var två förmågor som gav hög status i förskoleklassen.

The diploma work on the topic Interaction of the teacher and the student at the secondary school describes their mutual relationship. Problems of interaction of the teacher aud the student at the secondary school are mentioned in the theoretical part. This interaction of the teacher and the student also appears in the whole diploma work and it is influenced by the background of the school, by the education,learning, students parents and by other outward factors. Results of the research, which is concentrated on the students of the branches General nurse and Medical assistant at the Secondary medical school in Klatovy, are presented in my first part of my research work. This research pays particular attention to the students opinions of the skool climate, the class teacher and the schoolmates. In the secoud part I concentrated on the class teachers of the particular classes of the Secoudary medical school. I borrowed from our conversatious information ahout their students. The mutual interaction owing to interaction of the teachers and the students is very important. The personality of the teacher can influence the student either positively or negatively and it can preclude the risk behaviour.

Thus, this study has as the main goal to analyze the process of installation and organization of the Grupo Escolar Professor Maciel on the context of social and educational problems of Paraibans. Yet, we have highlighted some constitutive elements about school culture that was being produced and experienced by teachers who were engaged within their school routine. We have adopted as main methodological approach the oral history, in which we accomplished our analysis from the memories of some teachers who taught there. However, we have crossed these depositions with other official and unofficial written sources, besides some photographs that were provided during the development of this research. We have analyzed all this information at the light of the references advocated by Le Goff (1994), Bosi (1994) and Alberti (2001). We concluded this research pointing out that the mentioned school was, for a few decades, an important elementary school institution in Itabaiana town. / Este trabalho versa sobre a História do Grupo Escolar Professor Maciel a partir das memórias de suas professoras (1956 - 1971). Assim, este estudo teve como principal objetivo analisar o processo de instalação e organização do Grupo Escolar Professor Maciel no contexto dos problemas educacionais e sociais paraibanos. Destacamos, ainda, alguns elementos constitutivos acerca da cultura escolar que foi sendo produzida e vivenciada por professoras que estiveram envolvidas com o seu cotidiano escolar. Adotamos como principal procedimento metodológico a história oral, na qual realizamos a nossa análise a partir das memórias de algumas das professoras que nele trabalharam. Todavia, intercruzamos esses depoimentos com outras fontes escritas, oficiais e não oficiais, além das fotografias que nos foram cedidas durante o desenvolvimento da pesquisa. Analisamos todas essas informações a luz dos referenciais propugnadas por Le Goff (1994), Bosi (1994) e Alberti (2001). Concluímos este trabalho destacando que o referido Grupo Escolar se constituiu, durante algumas décadas, numa importante instituição de ensino primário na cidade de Itabaiana.

<p>Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur några förskollärare och grundskollärare värderar leken inom förskoleklassen och årskurs 1. De frågeställningar som studien utgår ifrån är följande: Vad uppfattar dessa pedagoger som det viktiga i leken?  Hur uppfattar dessa pedagoger att leken kan användas som en resurs i lärandesituationer inom förskoleklassen och årskurs 1? samt Hur uppfattar dessa pedagoger att möjligheten till lek förändras i årskurs 1 i förhållande till förskoleklass?</p><p>Studien har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats enligt fenomenografiskt analyssätt. I studien har sex pedagoger intervjuats, dessa pedagoger har vi valt ut från tre olika skolor, det vill säga en förskollärare och en grundskollärare från respektive skola. Intervjupersonerna är även utvalda utifrån att de har minst tio års yrkeserfarenhet. Av insamlat datamaterial har åtta kategorier utformats.</p><p>Resultatet visar att de två verksamheterna, förskoleklass och årskurs 1, värderar leken ganska lika. Det viktiga i leken är framför allt att utveckla den sociala kompetensen Förskollärarna anser att allt lärande kan rymmas i leken, medan grundskollärarna anser att inlärning sker genom den pedagogiska leken och den fria leken är en paus för barnen för att återhämta sig. Fastän de båda yrkeskategorierna är medvetna om att leken ska vara en del även av verksamheten i årskurs 1, så får inte förstaklassarna alltid möjlighet till det.</p> / <p> </p><p>The purpose of this study is to describe how playing is estimated by some pre-school teachers and primary school teachers within a pre-school class and a primary school form 1. The issues which this study is based on are as follows: What is important in playing? How can games and playing be used as a resource in situations of teaching and learning in a pre-school class and a primary school form 1? and What is the possibility of changes in playing between pre-school compared to primary school form 1?</p><p>The study has been effected with a qualitatively high effort according to a phenomenographic way of analysis. In this study six pedagogues (teachers) have been interviewed, chosen from three different schools, one pre-school teacher and one primary school teacher from each school. They were also chosen by the duration of their  professional experience which is at least 10 years. From collected facts eight categories have been worked out.</p><p>The result shows that the two activities, pre-school class and primary school form 1 estimate playing almost in the same way. The important thing in playing is above all to develop social ability. Pre-school teachers think that all learning can be contained in playing, while primary school teachers think that learning takes place only through educational games, and that free playing serves only as a break for children to relax and recover. Although both professional categories are aware of the fact that free playing is supposed to be part of the activity in primary school form 1, it won't  normally be possible for these children to practice it.</p>
