Jag, Therese Enebrant, läser pedagogiskt drama 51-60p på Malmö Högskola, 2006. Denna c-uppsats har jag valt att kalla "Pedagogiskt drama på Montessoriskolor". Mitt syfte med studien är att undersöka vilka möjligheter det finns i att kombinera pedagogiskt drama med Montessoripedagogiken. Mina frågeställningar är:• Går det att kombinera pedagogiskt drama med Montessoripedagogiken och i så fall hur? • Vad innebär pedagogiskt drama för pedagogerna på Montessoriskolorna? • Vad vill man uppnå med att använda pedagogiskt drama i undervisningen och vilken inställning har kollegerna till ovanstående?• Hur kan jag dra nytta av resultaten i min framtida profession?De metoder som jag har använt mig av är intervju samt observationer. Jag har intervjuat pedagoger som arbetar med barn från 3 års ålder och upp till 12 år. Barnen kommer från två Montessoriskolor. Mitt resultat visar att alla pedagogerna som jag har intervjuat tycker att barnen utvecklas personligt samt i grupp med hjälp av pedagogiskt drama. Det har också kommit fram att det är en oslagbar kombination att kombinera pedagogiskt drama med Montessoripedagogiken. / Teachers´ Stories About the Combining Pedagogical Drama with the Montessori Educational Method

Uppsatsen är en jämförande studie mellan förskolor i Iran och förskolor i Sverige. Syftet med studien är att genom kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer och observationer ta reda på vad som skiljer respektive förenar Irans och Sveriges verksamhet i förskolan. Uppsatsen behandlar iranska och svenska pedagogers syn på arbetet med barns sociala kompetens och lärande i förskolan. I uppsatsen påvisas både skillnader och likheter mellan Irans och Sveriges arbetssätt. En av de skillnader som studien pekar på, är synen på lärandet i rutinsituationer. De svenska pedagogerna påpekar vikten av att se alla situationer som tillfällen att arbeta med barns sociala kompetens och lärande. I detta sammanhang nämner de svenska pedagogerna framför allt det dagliga samtalet vid matbordet. De iranska pedagogerna arbetar på ett annat sätt med att stimulera barnens skriftspråkliga och matematiska utveckling. Deras arbetsmetoder påminner mer om schemalagda lektioner. En av likheterna som uppsatsen belyser är Irans och Sveriges arbete med att förmedla sitt kulturarv på förskolan. / This essay is a comparative study between preschools in Iran and Sweden. The study aims to find out what divides and unites the Iranian and the Swedish way of working in preschool. The qualitative method has been used and the results are based on both interviews and observations. The research focuses on Iranian and Swedish pedagogues' own view of working with children. In particular, the development of the childrens' social skills and learning in preschool.Several differences and similarities between the way of working in preschools in Iran and Sweden have been identified. One difference that is highlighted is the idea of learning in daily situations. The Swedish pedagogues mention the importance of regarding all daily situations as suitable occasions to work with childrens' social skills and learning. They also believe that the daily dialogue at the dining table in preschool is a way of developing the childrens' education. Iranian pedagogues, in contrast, work with childrens' progressive writing and mathematics in a way more similar to ordinary school. One similarity that is highlighted is the active work that both Swedish and Iranian pedagogues do concerning their cultural heritage.

En intervjustudie med elever på gymnasieskolan om vad som kännetecknar en bra lärare och hur teaterns verktyg kan främja dessa egenskaper. / An interview study of high school students about what makes a good teacher and how the theatre's tools can promote these qualities.

The aim of the study is to investigate social studies teachers’ idea of the importance of students’ agency for their future citizenship and how social studies teachers in upper secondary school assist students’ agency in their teaching. The methodologically the study is based on, is 6 interviews with social studies teachers of different ages and with different experience. The results show that the social studies teachers’ teaching have two main themes. The themes are to contribute to the students’ analysis of the world around them and assist the students’ future life as employees. Two theoretical starting points have been used to discuss the results, Ninni Wahlström’ capacity strategy and John Dewey’s communication theory. Social studies teacher’s teaching with a focus on students’agency means that the students should develop the future skills to set goals, reflect on their learning, to be able to make independent decisions, which leads to become competitive in the labor market with general competencies such as creativity, language skills and social competence. This results in that the students become competitive in the labor market where they have the capacity to become independent individuals with general skills such as creativity, language skills and social skills. The social studies teachers view that it is crucial for the students ’agency that they develop an analysis of the world around them, which means that the students can analyze current events such as the Ukraine war in 2022 and be able to discuss this with other people. The students can use this in their future citizenship. Social studies teachers encourage students’ agency in social studies by using project work in social studies for students to learn to solve problems in creative ways to solve real problems as future citizens. The social studies teachers encouragea linguistic ability through their social teaching that encourage students' agency. It means being able to reason, see connections and draw conclusions about current events. The social studies teachers believe that this encourages the students’ personal development and their future citizenship where the students have a self-esteem to succeed in projects in the future and to understand modern society. According to the social studies teachers, the students should socialize with other students through group exercises in teaching, which they believe gives the students expanded opportunities in life. The social studies teachers believe that dialog as a pedagogical method encourage the student’s democratic competence, which means that the students develop a thought structure about the democratic rules within a democratic society and it is also important for the students’ agency that they develop a democratic competence which means that the students are critical of the information in a global community so they know which information can be trusted. The pedagogical approach among the social studies teachers is that it should be a creative social environment where the students learn to think independently with the teacher as a supervisor in the classroom who does not impose knowledge on the students. The main pedagogical method to assist students’ future citizenship in social education is to use news in the social studies. Keywords: Social studies, Citizenship, Media, Language skills, Agency, Social competence, Creativity, Upper Secondary school

The purpose of this study is to investigate the significance of preschool teachers´ view of shy children in preschool, based on their perceptions and related attitudes and support for shy children in daily activities. This study is based on a qualitative hermeneutical methodological approach, where the empirical material is gathered from four focus group discussions with groups from four different preschools. There were three preschool teachers´ participating in each group. The theoretical framework consists of symbolic interactionism put together with a relational perspective, which guides the interpretation of the empirical material. The results of this study show that shyness is complex and difficult to interpret. It is a social phenomenon where perceptions, attitudes and also applied support are interlinked.Shyness in children can be perceived based on this and with regard to a subjective dimension, but where the subjective understanding of shyness is also affected by the views of others. Fundamental is the preschool teachers' awareness and sensitivity to these children in the daily activities. In order to build lasting and secure relationships in the group of children it is required to understand the entire environment. Therefore, an important conclusion is that shyness in children in preschool only can be understood by looking at the children’s social environment rather than focusing at the behavior of each individual child.

I min uppsats fördjupar jag mig i arbetet kring de som i allmänna ord benämns för blyga barn. Vad innebär det egentligen att vara blyg, är det ett personlighetsdrag som är svårt att ändra på, eller ett tillstånd som behöver bearbetas för att nå utveckling? Eller kan det rentav vara något som är ärftligt och därmed inte påverkbart? Vad innebär blyghet i förskolan för barnet och pedagogen och hur kan pedagoger lyfta de barn som inte syns eller hörs. Är det överhuvudtaget något att oroa sig över och isåfall vad kan man göra för att stötta de blyga barnen i deras fortsatta utveckling. Genom att använda mig av sociokulturella och normkritiska perspektiv försöker jag tolka hur dessa två aspekter påverkar synen på blyghet. I denna uppsats utgår jag från mina egna erfarenheter för att i efterhand reflektera över hur min egen syn, förskolans och samhällets syn påverkar oss i det dagliga bemötandet. / In my essay I try to get a better understanding of those who in general words are called shy children. What does it really mean to be shy, is it a personality trait that is difficult to change, or is it a condition that needs to be processed to further development? Or could it perhaps be something that is hereditary and thus impossible to affect? What exactly does shyness mean in the preschool for the child and the teacher, and how can the teachers try to reach children who are not usually seen or heard. Is it at all something to worry about, and if so, what can you do to support them in their continued development. Through the use of different perspectives such as the socio-cultural and norm-critical, I try to see how various aspects influence the view on shyness. In this essay, I use my own knowledge and previous experiences in order to reflect on how my own, the preschool and society's view affects us in the daily approach.

In autumn 2015 the largest refugee crisis occurred in Europe since world war two (Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap, MSB 2018). Sweden experienced a migrant flow from various countries because of wars and conflicts in the world (Swedish migration agency, 2016).Many unaccompanied minors, mainly from Afghanistan, needed to be taken care of in different family homes or HVB homes. To provide nursing and basic needs for the unaccompanied refugee children, the personnel must be able to handle and understand cultural differences and situations that may arise from this. Cultural competence can be crucial to provide good care for these minors. Purpose; The purpose of this study is chosen in order to understand if adequate training is available for the staff at HVB homes, if the staff feels informed about cultural diversities and if the education given helps in order to detect problems and thus be aware of them. With the help of this research, the author hopes that problems such as untrained personnel and lack of knowledge regarding cultural sensitivity can be highlighted in order to develop fitful education to give optimal care for the unaccompanied refugee minors. Knowledge is one of the pillars for the development of a well-functioning society. Method: The study was performed as a qualitative interview study in which three interviews were made with personnel working at different HVB homes. As a complement to deepen the study online surveys were used. Result: The information collected in this paper states that personnel at HVB homes lack adequate cultural competence and have seen negatively affecting cultural practices. The personnel do not have tools and knowledge to deal with problems that may arise, which limits the safety of the unaccompanied refugee minors.

<p>this paper is a study on children's social interactions in role-play. The aim is to try to highlight how children with other develop social skills and how to further motivate children tosee, understand and manage their reality in role-play by highlighting the characteristics of afunctioning role-play. I would also highlight the importance of pedagogue´s role in relation tochildren's social skills in role-play. The purpose flows into these issues, what distinguishes afunctioning role-play? Can the children in role-play influence their thinking to developunderstanding of others and the environment and if so, how? What significance does pedagogue´s role in children's role-play? I used out of a qualitative methodology to carry out this investigation. I chose to gather information for my study using a passive monitoring method, which i wrote down in detail the children's verbal and physical communication of the role-play, and even pedagogens relation to children's role-play. The results show that children in role-play are playing with others and use play signals and playrules in order to develop therole-play and social skills. This means that the language of both the physical and the verbalplay an essential role for the understanding of these elements. Playsignals is an understandingof what is real and not, by using movement, gestures and facial expressions, but it is noteveryone who understands the signals. To develop a successful game also requires thatchildren in role-play relate to playrules. These are reciprocity, consensus and take turns. There are other factors that affect social skills and characteristics of a functioning role-play. Examples of these are creativity and imagination. The result also shows how the teacher influences on children's role-play in different ways when they integrates in role-play, and also play materila in preschool affects children's play.</p>

Studien genomfördes med kvalitativ metod i form av två observationer och tio intervjuer. Observationerna var öppna och förberedande inför de strukturerade intervjuerna. Respondenterna var elever i en klass där det pågår ett projekt som syftar till att utveckla barns problemlösningsförmåga och sociala kompetens utifrån kognitiv träning och en empowerment baserad resoneringsmodell, som kallas rahyab. Rahyab är ett persiskt ord som betyder väg- sökning. Fokus har varit på elevernas upplevelser av arbetet med modellen och skolprojektet. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur yngre tonåringars problemlösningsförmåga kan utvecklas av kognitiv träning och socialpedagogik? Andra frågeställningar som vi har sökt att besvara är: vad har de yngre tonåringarna lärt sig av rahyab och dess olika steg? Hur har de yngre tonåringarna upplevt att arbeta med rahyab? och upplever de yngre tonåringarna att de har och kommer ha användning av rahyab?</p><p>I resultat och analys framkommer att de yngre tonåringarna kan utveckla sitt analytiska tänkande och därmed också deras problemlösningsförmåga. De upplever att de nu bättre förstår hur andra tänker. De förefaller ha utvecklat sin sociala kompetens. Resultaten visar med stöd av tidigare kunskap att yngre tonåringars problemlösningsförmåga kan utvecklas av kognitiv träning och social pedagogik.</p>

Jag har alltid intresserat mig för social kompetens och dess vikt i barn och ungdomars personliga utveckling. Min målsättning är att få grepp om hur viktigt EQ är. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att försöka tydliggöra känslornas inverkan på inlärningen. Samhällssituationen har ändrats markant sen jag själv gick i skolan och därmed även hur dagens elever mår. Många av dagens elever mår inte bra. De är ofta arga och deprimerade. Kan EQ på schemat hjälpa till att förändra och förbättra denna situation? Jag kommer att utgå ifrån dessa problemformuleringar: -Vad är EQ?-Hur påverkar känslor elevernas inlärning? -Behövs EQ i skolan? -Hur kan man arbeta med EQ i skolan? Examensarbetet innehåller en litteraturgenomgång som återger, för syftet och frågeställningarna, relevant fakta. Arbetet innehåller även en undersökningsdel, som består av en intervju med tre olika pedagoger, som alla arbetar strukturerat med EQ. Undersökningsdelens syfte är att ytterligare belysa mitt syfte med arbetet. Resultatet av examensarbetet är att EQ behöver få en mer central roll i undervisningen. Eleverna behöver arbeta med den sociala kompetensen kontinuerligt och strukturerat. Eleverna behöver en socialt fungerande miljö runt dem för att känna trygghet och harmoni. Inte förrän detta är uppnått kan de prestera i skolan.
