The purpose of this study is to examine what teaching materials is being used by three middle school teachers when they teach the subject religion, and how the materials are used. Furthermore, the purpose is to examine the three teachers’ perceptions regarding the teaching materials that are being used the most. To do this, the aim is to answer the following questions: What teaching materials do the teachers’ use when they teach religion, and how they are used? What perceptions do teachers have about the teaching materials they use the most? The method used for this study is qualitative observations and interviews with three teachers of religion in three different schools. The analysis is based on a theoretical framework with different theoretical perspectives. Induction, deduction and abduction was used to analyze the observations, and a didactic question named the communication question presented by Sven Hartman (2011) is visible through all observations. Tendentious selection, stereotypical conceptions, the religion of elite and the religion of the people was used to analyze the interviews. The study has led to the conclusion that the analysis of the observations and interviews revealed a pattern of textbook dominance. However, one teacher stood out from the common pattern in the observations, as the teacher used both the textbook and discussions equally in her teaching. The interviews showed that the teachers find more advantages than disadvantages of the textbook. The disadvantages they see with the textbook is not that it mediates stereotypical conceptions or contains a tendentious selection.

Wendt, I. Good intention but insufficient knowledge. A qualitative interview study on social workers experiences of meeting young transgender people. Degree project in social work 15 högskolepoäng. Malmö University: Faculty of Health and Society, Department of (name of department), Year.The well-being of transgender youth is worse compared with cisgender youth. Transgender youth are exposed to threats, violence and discrimination. This population partly or fully avoid seeking help and support from social services even when needed. Social workers should provide fair treatment, though there is a lack of knowledge concerning transgender youth and the needs and issues specific to transgender youth. This study aims to research the experience of meeting transgender youth from the perspective of social workers, and how they reckon they’ve been prepared to meet this particular population in their academic education but also at their workplace. This study has a qualitative approach and interviews were conducted with four social workers to collect empirical data. The analysis resulted in five main themes: the possessed knowledge pre-study, ideas and prejudices, difference in transgender youth exposure, professional approach and treatment, lack of education and norm-critical work and language. The result of the study indicates acts of courtesy yet lack of knowledge. There was a presence of prejudices and preconceptions regarding what transgender people are and what it means to live as a transgender youth. The academic education of social workers appear lacking in content regarding gender, sexuality, and identity which are important aspects for understanding the experience of transgender youth as well as the inclusion of transgender youth. Societal norms and structures were perceived to have influenced the apprehension of transgender youth, the societal work and the academic education of social workers. The academic education of social workers lacks in knowledge regarding transgender youth. There is a great need for scientific studies regarding transgender youth to successfully develop the societal work and guarantee a fair treatment.

The purpose of the study is to investigate preschool teachers’ knowledge and experiences of physical activity in the preschool indoor environment. To clarify this, we ask the following questions: What view of the concept of physical activity do preschool teachers has? What perceptions are made visible when preschool teachers interpret the objective in the curriculum? What didactic opportunities do preschool teachers see to carry out physical activity in the indoor environment? What norm-critical perspectives are visible in the preschool teachers’ answers? In our study we have chosen to use phenomenography as our theoretical method. We want to see if there are patterns in the preschool teachers’ answers, if they have similar experiences or knowledge, or they differ. Our study is therefore based on a qualitative research effort with both interviews and observations as a collection method. Our collected material has then been analyzed using our theoretical method and previous research to visualize the preschool teacher’s conceptions of the world around them. Our study´s main theme is therefore based on a scientific, didactic and cultural perspective. Our study shows that the knowledge and the definition of physical activity vary between preschool teachers which further affect how it is implemented. Children thus have different access to physical activity depending on which preschool they go in and what knowledge preschool teachers have. Preschool teachers varying interpretations of the objective in the curriculum have been shown to contribute to the design of the didactic learning environment. Missing knowledge probably leads to the objectives of the curriculum being interpreted on the basis of individual perceptions. Preschool teachers’ knowledge to physical activity and their norms and values will contribute to the emotional culture of which children become a part of. Therefore, norm-critical perspectives, intercultural leadership and child view have been relevant to our study. Our results have shown that norms on health and body ideals form preschool teachers' childcare and physical activity views. Preschool teachers show that despite obstacles, they focus on possibilities instead of limitations.

This dissertation presents an analysis of the models of psychosocial processes structuring UNICEF’s psychosocial intervention after the emergency caused by the floods in Venezuela during 1999, and some of their political and ethical implications. I discuss how UNICEF’s intervention in the shelter of Fuerte Tiuna, in Caracas, provides a context in which discourses and practices construct the disaster as an event of a particular type, affording particular positions to those affected by it, and presenting the intervention as a reparative response that engages in different ways with these constructions. Specific issues explored by this dissertation include how practices and discourses construct the disaster and its impact on persons and communities; the nature of the psychosocial intervention; the subject; and the different forms of expertise involved in the intervention. Further, it examines how the intervention-as-designed is implemented and how the actual contact with the beneficiary population generates changes not only in the implementation itself, but also in the conceptual frameworks displayed by UNICEF. The analysis presents UNICEF’s psychosocial intervention as a practice that is simultaneously material and discursive. The participation of experts, the use of specific resources, the deployment of techniques and their devices, the organisation of time and space within the intervention, can all be considered as supporting certain notions of the disaster, its impact and its solution, which organise the models of the psychosocial. The main issues that appear as relevant for the analysis are related to the way in which the intervention constructs the disaster as a psychosocial problem; the appeal to the notion of trauma to explain the impact on those affected; the disciplinary, ethical and political implications of the different forms of understanding suffering in the Venezuelan contemporary context and how the notions put forward by UNICEF’s intervention engage with the social dynamics in Venezuela, in particular with the processes associated with the social and political polarisation.
