BAKGRUND Skolor har ett renoveringsbehov och elevantalet ökar vilket kräver fler byggnader. Därför finns ett intresse av att uppmärksamma hur klassrum för hem- och konsumentkunskap struktureras för att hjälpa elever med olika behov. Undervisningen idag syftar till att inkludera alla elever, därför behöver klassrummen vara utformade för att möta elevernas förmågor och svårigheter. Genom att anpassa den fysiska lärmiljön skapar skolorna en mer inkluderande miljö och möjliggör för alla elevers rättigheter att få en utbildning. SYFTE Syftet med studien var att undersöka den fysiska lärmiljön i klassrummen för hem-och konsumentkunskap med fokus på tillgänglighetsanpassning.  METOD En kvalitativ forskningsansats valdes för studien tillsammans med två insamlingsmetoder. En digital enkät med öppna svarsfrågor samt bilder från hem- och konsumentkunskapslokaler. Valet av två insamlingsmetoder grundas i att få ett bredare perspektiv, då lärarens egna reflektioner kunde analyseras tillsammans med den faktiska utformningen av lokalen. Analysmetoden var en kvalitativ induktivtematisk analys. RESULTAT Undervisning genomfördes i ändamålsenliga lokaler men det fanns vissa begränsningar. Exempelvis brist på plats, brist på redskap och relativt gamla och slitna köksenheter. För att främja den fysiska lärmiljön fanns bilder för redskap i lådor, skåp och på väggar, mindre innehåll i köksenheter samt ommöblering av bord. SLUTSATS De övervägande problemen som framstod var på grund av konstruktionen av lokalen. Det är relativt svårt att justera utan att göra en stor renovering, vilket kostar pengar. Sammanfattningsvis upplevs det att lärarna försöker att ha en så anpassad lokal som möjligt, men att konstruktionen hämmar deras förmåga att verkligen tillgodose alla elevers olika behov. / BACKGROUND Schools have a need for renovation and the number of students is increasing, which requires more school buildings. Therefore, there is an interest to see how classrooms for Home and Consumer Studies are structured to help students with different needs. Today's teaching aims to include all students, therefore the classrooms need to be designed to meet the students' abilities and difficulties. By adapting the physical learning environment, the schools create a more inclusive environment and enable all students' rights to receive education. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to examine the physical learning environment in classrooms for Home and Consumer Studies, with a focus on accessibility adaptation. METHOD A qualitative research approach was chosen for the study together with two collection methods. A digital questionnaire with open-answer questions, and images from the classrooms where the teaching of Home and Consumer Studies were conducted. The reason for choosing two collection methods was to gain a broader perspective, as the teacher's own reflections could be analyzed together with the actual layout of the classroom. The method of analysis was a thematic analysis based on inductive strategy. RESULTS Teaching was conducted in appropriate classrooms but there were some limitations. For example, lack of space, lack of utensils and relatively old and worn kitchen units. To promote the physical learning environment, there were pictures for utensils in drawers, cabinets and on the walls, less content in kitchen units and rearranging of the tables. CONCLUSION The majority of the problems that emerged was because of the construction of the room. It is relatively difficult to adjust without doing a major renovation, which costs money. In summary, it is possible to see that the teachers try to get the classrooms as adapted as they can, but that the structure inhibits their ability to truly meet all students' different needs.

This bachelor thesis examines and compares the differences between the functional requirements according to accessibility that exist in the construction and design for a single-family dwelling in Sweden, compared to the US state of Minnesota. During the construction of a single-family dwelling there is a building legislation that both Sweden and Minnesota need to consider and follow. Accessibility is one of the areas that is affected by the building legislation. The building legislations for Sweden and Minnesota differ as Minnesota as a state does not have any requirements for accessibility adaptation for single-family dwellings. Sweden on the other hand requires that all new buildings, extensions, and reconstructions meet accessibility requirements and standards.   The building legislations for Sweden and Minnesota and their differences are presented in this bachelor thesis by depicting the countries view on accessibility for a single-family dwelling, and how this subject is reflected in the legislation that Sweden and Minnesota have.   A comparison between two floor plans has been done, where one floor plan is from a Swedish house manufacturer and the other one from a house manufacturer in Minnesota. There is also an investigation into how accessibility is considered in floor plans, and how they relate to the relevant building legislation. The floor plans have been weighed against each other, and analyzed whether they would be approved based on requirements and conditions in each country. The differences in the building legislation showed that the Swedish floor plan would be approved in Minnesota, while the floor plan designed for individuals without disabilities in Minnesota, on the other hand, would not be approved in Sweden.   The facts that have been obtained were considered in the design of an alternative floor plan in the Revit software. A single-family dwelling has been developed based on both Sweden´s and Minnesota´s building legislation according to accessibility. A result of a single-family dwelling with approved accessibility in both countries is presented in this thesis.
