This work examines teachers’ experiences of teaching students with reading and writing difficulties / dyslexia in a regular class-room setting. The questions were: General experiences of the needs of additional adjustments in teaching. How additional adjustments strengthen classroom teaching. Experiences of the implementation of digital teaching tools in teaching and reflections regarding additional adjustments in relation to the control documents? A research design with semi-structured interviews with a phenomenological approach was chosen. Ten teachers from six different schools participated in the interviews. Some general patterns occurred in the interviews. The participating teachers generally identified students’ need of extra support by observing their degree of participation in different instructional activities in the classroom. The participating teachers found implementation of digital tools difficult because of their own lack of knowledge as well as technical issues regarding the capacity of the network at the school and computer problems. The teachers were well aware of the overall goal in the curriculum about giving all students equal opportunities to reach the goals in the curriculum. However, the teachers’ knowledge about policies and guidelines in relation to how to implement and evaluate instructional adjustments were scarce.

Detta är en intervjustudie vars syfte är att belysa Synen på en metod, genom en intervjustudie med de olika grupper som arbetar med metoden ASL, Att skriva sig till läsning. En metod som förändrar den traditionella läs- och skrivundervisningen genom att byta ut pennan som skrivmedel mot datorn och tangentbordet. Metoden är ursprungligen kommen av ett förebyggande arbete för barn med läs- och skrivsvårigheter som arbetats fram av specialpedagogen Mona Wiklander. Metoden Att skriva sig till läsning finns om än i något annan form även i andra länder, Arne Tragetons metod har fått stor uppmärksamhet i Norden, samt delar av Europa. Studien tittar närmare på två skolor inom en kommun och vad metoden är för aktörerna, studien baseras på 16 intervjuer fördelat på fem olika aktörnivåerna skolledningen, rektorer, lärare, föräldrar och elever. Genom framförandet av de olika aktörsgruppernas perspektiv skapas en empirisk och mångfascinerad bild av metoden. Studien belyser hur metoden upplevs, hur metoden inom kommunen utvecklats och fortskrider, samt hur metoden via de olika aktörerna inom skolsystemet tillges olika betydelse.

The overall aim of this study is to create development proposals for further development of the web-based learning tool Web Based Simulation of Patients (Web-SP). The tool is used in health care programs where students with digital help can link theoretical knowledge and practical actions to reach as close as possible to a true patient case. This study investigates whether the tool can be developed to apply to students in emergency and ambulance care. Hence, the study focus prehospital context and also solutions for a smoother use of the tool in line with user experience goals. Through contextual inquiry, interviews and focus group interviews, the development proposals have been reformed iteratively to better respond to new goals. The empirical results shows that parallel work is central to a prehospital patient case and how information architecture, navigation and structure should be reworked to better suit these conditions.
