Syftet med detta utvecklingsarbete är att se om drama kan användas som verktyg i skolan för att stärka grupp och individ. Vi har tagit hjälp av en årskurs ett och tillsammans med eleverna har Övningarna fokuserar på eleverna som individer, på stora och små grupper, samt på trygghet. Vi har utgått från några påståenden som eleverna svarat på för att se vad de själva tycker om det egna jaget och centrala begrepp som speglar det vi gjort i detta arbete. Avslutningsvis kunde vi se att klassen fick en starkare samarbetsförmåga, samt att eleverna faktiskt kunde njuta av att stå i centrum även om de ti Nyckelord: Individ, grupp, drama, tillsammans.

The 1960s was the stage for a global changes and the uprising of social movements. The world changed it´s form when the older generation was approach was set against the younger generation. The memories of the 1960s and 1970s are still present like a shadow in the Swedish society and in our culture. This period had the whole world on it´s toes and it took years before the political and civil unrest settled. This study is an examination of the tv-serie Upp till Kamp (2007) and the film Tillsammans (2000), where the principal purpose is to examine and compare their representation of the use of history. The first part is looking at how both of the mediums are reconstructing the Swedish national narrative of the 1970s. And the second part is trying to put the films into a context by illustrating the contradicting attributes of how their societies are portrayed in these two films. These contradictions are based on four themes that is found in both of the movies; gender, generation, class and social movements. The conclusion of the study shows that the two films are creating two different pictures of the 1970s Swedish society. Upp till Kamp are reconstructing the most common perspective in Swedish history; the male perspective. Where as Tillsammans illustrate the women’s everyday life and the social struggle, and it even shows the children’s perspective. The comparison between how the two films use the four different themes was helpful in highlighting what type of narrative the two filmmakers chose for their view of the 1970s in Sweden, and what they chose to leave out. Which leads to a discussion about how film as a medium is a great tool for mediating history, but also due to the constant reproduction of the same type of narratives. And this shows why films that reconstruct history needs to be questioned, because other important narratives might be left out.

The Swedish government has declared the year of 2006 a special Year of Mulitculture. This has inspired me to look for similarities and differences all over the world, especially the use of rug carpets. During travelling to Indonesia and a visit to the sister of the Sultan of Yogyakarta, I experienced a pleasant moment drinking chilled lemonade. We were all sitting on carpets on the floor. To sit on, and get together around a carpet, is an excellent function which we don’t do in the western world. Here we use chairs and tables, and there’s not enough room sometimes. The latter is something I want to change and develop. The purpose of this final work has been to examine how to cerate different patterns and outer shapes for woven rugs. The shapes will be formed by using PVC plastics and use it’s preferences to melt it in a certain way in order to create different shapes. My idea for this prototype is to fold it in different ways. That to get different colours, shapes, thicknesses and some level up. The patterns of my creations are inspired by the old Swedish carpenter’s tradition of ornate decorative carving. Another impotent aspect has been to get a serious cooperation with an established industry. Horredsmattan AB is a small company in the county. They have been my support in weaving, material access and ending the finish of my carpet. My project has generated two different carpets called Dubbel Lycka (Double Happiness) and Glädje (Joy). Each one can be folded and transformed in their own way. Dubbel Lycka looks like a double weaved fabric which can be folded in a large number of ways. Glädje has got a pattern that gets other expressions if you fouled it or if it is cut to pieces. Both carpets have a multipurpose function as a sittingand gettogether area. There’s always room for a friend, isn’t it? / <p>Program: Textildesignutbildningen</p><p>Uppsatsnivå: C</p>

Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to understand how teachers/pedagogues nowadays work with mathematics in school. In what way can they pin point the difficulties a pupil with another language might have with mathematics. I started the process of this investigation by reading litterature on the subject. Then I did interviews with several teachers and pedagogues teaching in different schools with children at different ages. The results found in my investegation pointed to a lack of practical work with mathematics especially in classroom and revealed from the teachers a strong desire to work with mathematics in different ways. ”Talking maths” with pupils in class will help them understand the subject better. Several teachers are of the opinion that the pupils will reach the goals in school with this method. The teachers are also aware of the importance of having practical mathematics. The biggest complaints are not having enough planning-time, being overloaded with administrative work and the difficulties of being alone in class doing practical maths. The common opinion was a desire to work differently, using many different pedagogical methods. This would be easier to do in smaller groups and pupils with another native language would easier get helped to comprehend mathematical text. Key words: Taking maths, creativeness, text capacity in mathematics, mathematics-outdoors, together

This thesis examines interfaith work from a general perspective and through the Swedish interfaith project “Tillsammans för Sverige”. They are based in a famous youth center in Stockholm. The examination has two aims. The first is to identify the main characteristics of interfaith work and how they correspond with daily practice. The second aim looks at the relevance of human rights in interfaith work and how the connection between the two can be clarified.  The results are based upon the author’s experiences through a fieldwork study and an enquiry made among the people involved in the project. Key words: interfaith work, Tillsammans för Sverige, global ethics, human rights

Sammanfattning   Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka och beskriva ett ämnesövergripande arbete mellan slöjd och teknik med Visible Thinking som verktyg för att eleverna skall nå sina ämnesmål och ett fördjupat lärande. Studien har genomförts på Lemshaga Akademi en f-9 skola på Värmdö, i en aktionsstudie där enkät, intervjuer och observationer har använts. Med utgångspunkt i LPO 94, Visible Thinkings arbetsmetoder , olika forskares syn på ämnesövergripande arbete i skolan, intervjuer med fem lärare som alla arbetar med ämnesövergripande arbete, en enkät undersökning bland 49 elever, observationer i projektarbete kring energi och intervju med rektorer studerar jag en modell för den ämnesövergripande arbetsformen. I resultatet av undersökningen kring arbetet bland lärare och elever framkommer att man använder sig av Visible Thinking som ett verktyg för lärandet. Elever och lärare ser ämnesövergripande arbete som en bra form för lärande. Goda resultat från energiprojektet bekräftar att eleverna nått sina studiemål med ett fördjupat lärande.

Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur involverad skolpersonal och samverkande socialsekreterare arbetar för att kartlägga och motverka elevers ogiltiga frånvaro. Genom att undersöka personalens upplevelse av orsaker till ogiltig frånvaro, hur de upplever att de arbetar med ogiltig frånvaro och hur de tillsammans arbetar för att motverka ogiltig frånvaro. Den aktuella publicerade forskning som använts är både internationell och nationell. Styrdokument, lagtext, allmänna råd samt forskning av Skolverket och Socialstyrelsen har även beaktats. Det teorietiska perspektiv som ligger till grund för analys är inklusion och exklusion. Utifrån kvalitativa halvstrukturerade livsvärldsintervjuer med fem informanter som tillfrågats med utgångspunkt av dessas yrkesroll i skolan. De professioner som tillfrågats är rektor, kurator, socialpedagog, lärare samt samverkande socialsekreterare. Intervjuer med informanterna har spelats in med diktafon, transkriberats för att sedan analyseras. Analysen gjordes utifrån teman: orsaker, arbete med och arbete tillsammans med ogiltig frånvaro. Tolkningen av materialet har skett utifrån samstämmighet och olikheter i svaren. I studiens diskussion tas det upp att den främsta orsaken till ogiltig frånvaro är hemsituationen. I de fall eleven har en svår hemsituation visar forskningen att skolan kan vara en skyddsfaktor för att förhindra elevens exklusion. Där den ogiltiga frånvaron ändå är skolrelaterade beror det främst på andra elevers inflytande, grupptryck. Alla informanter upplever att de i sitt arbete har en medvetenhet om var eleverna med stor ogiltig frånvaro befinner sig utifrån skolans arbetsmodell. Studiens resultat är att de orsaker som ligger bakom ogiltig frånvaro huvudsakligen är relaterade till hemsituationen. Involverad personal upplever en förbättring utifrån arbetsrutinen i skoltrappan. Att arbeta tillsammans är en framgångsfaktor för att minska ogiltig frånvaro. / The aim of the study is to describe how school staff and social workers identify and prevent truancy in the Swedish compulsory school. The study explores the school workers professional experiances of the underlying causes of truancy and what measures are taken in collaboration with social authorities to prevent pupils´ absence from school. The study is based on current international and national research and takes into account policy documents, legal texts and general advice issued by the Swedish National Agency for Education and the National board of Health and Welfare. The theoretical perspective used in of the analyses are the terms inclusion and exclusion. Qualitative semi-structured lifeworld interviews with five professional categories (a school head master, a councelor, a  teacher and two social workers) working in school were performed. The interviews focused on causes of truancy and collaborative work involving both school professionals and social workers. The interviews were recorded and subsequently transcribed and analysed. The analysis was performed thematically, causes of truancy and collaborative work to prevent truancy. The interpretation of the data was based on consensus and differences in the responses. As can be seen from the discussion, the primary cause of truancy is related to the pupil´s home situation. Research shows that school can be a protective factor to prevent exclusion. In cases where truancy is related to the school situation it is principally a result of group pressure from other pupils. All respondents in the interviews stated that they have an awareness of where pupils with extensive absenteeism are in relation to the school´s work model to prevent truancy. Collaborative work is a success factor to reduce truancy.
