Syftet med den här undersökningen är att ta reda på hur lärare på tre olika skolor i Sverige un-dervisar om läs- och skrivlärande och multimodala texter med hjälp av smartboardtavla. Vi-dare har syftet varit att se vilket resultat det ger på elevernas läs- och skrivutveckling.  Tillvägagångssättet har varit tre stycken observationer, en intervju med lärare och elevenkäter på varje skola. Studien har baserats på både kvalitativ och kvantitativ forskning där intervju-erna och observationerna har varit till största delen kvalitativa och elevenkäterna kvantitativa. Utifrån litteraturen som har använts i undersökningen har det visat sig att undervisningen med stöd av multimodala texter ökar med hjälp av den nya tekniken, samt att lärarna och lärarstu-derande kan behöva mer digital kompetens så att de kan hantera den teknik som finns ute på skolorna samt hur undervisningen med hjälp av digital teknik kan se ut. Det kan alltså bli en teknisk fråga och en pedagogisk fråga. Utifrån mina undersökningar har jag fått fram att smartboardtavlan är ett bra och roligt verktyg att använda i klassrummet där multimodala tex-ter ingår. När det gäller de multimodala texterna har litteraturen visat att det både kan vara en svårighet för elever när det kommer till att förstå bilderna men att det även kan medföra att kunskaper lättare kan befästas. / The purpose of this investigation is to find out how teachers in three different schools in Swe-den teaches about read- and writing-developing and multimodal texts with the help from a smartboard. The investigation also aims to examine whether it gives a result on the pupils read- and writing-developing. The methods of this study have been three observations on each school, one interview at each school and pupil survey for all of the pupils in each class. The study has been based on both quality and quantitative research were the interview and the ob-servations mostly have been qualitative and the pupil surveys have been quantitative. The literature used in the result on this study have shown that multimodal texts increases with the help from the new technology that exits. It also shows that teachers and teachers students need a deeper digital competence so they can use the technology that exits on the schools and to know how to teach from it. The result of my investigations show that smartboards is a good and fun tool to use in the classroom were multimodal texts existed. The literature has shown that the multimodal texts can be a difficulty for some children when it comes to understanding pictures, but it also can result in easier knowledge accomplishment.

This is about how pupils in years 4 to 6 of compulsory school and their teachers make meaning in teaching activities and texts. The aim of the study is to investigate the teaching and learning of writing and the pupils’ discursive texts. Another aim is to use linguistic theories and develop methods and analytical concepts for studying teaching practices. Sources for the material are the teaching practices in two classes, the teachers and the pupils. The field studies lasted for two years, consisting of observations and interviews. Twelve pupils’ texts and four writing projects are studied in depth. The theoretical framework is linked to systemic functional linguis­tics, critical discourse analysis, dialogical conception of language and new literacy studies. Analytical tools are also derived from rhetorical structure theory, relief theory and theory of text sequences. These tools have been adap­ted and are also applied in the analysis of the teaching practice. To analyse pupils’ meaning making in their texts, a theory of mobility in texts is used. The analyses show two different categories of texts and teaching practices. The hierarchically composed texts are characterized by hierarchies concerning the entire text. The sequentially coupled texts are charac­terized by many vague relations between text entities. One conclusion is that the students in the hierarchically composed texts develop knowledge during writing. They make meaning recursively when writing and they seem to grasp the text as a whole in a way they do not in the sequentially coupled ones. In the sequentially coupled texts, pupils seem to develop knowledge mostly before they write the text, rather than during the writing. In the hierarchically composed practice the pupils deepen their knowledge about text. The result can be interpreted as showing that pupils primarily need education about global text levels in order to develop text knowledge and subject knowledge. Teaching practice seems to promote all pupils’ meaning making if the practice is characterized by many interpersonal relations in the chains of spoken and written texts and if pupils learn to write texts that can structure their meaning making in a functional way.
