Syftet med min undersökning var att ta reda på elevers uppfattning om datorspel och hur ett specifikt datorspel, Lasarus, påverkar elevernas kunskaper om människokroppen och hälsa. Anledningen till undersökningen bottnar i ett försök att hitta nya vägar att nå eleverna inom naturvetenskapsundervisningen. Undersökningen genomfördes i en klass 5, på en mindre skola i en större svensk stad. Eleverna som spelade datorspelet Lasarus svarade också på enkäter, en innan de spelat som kartlade deras datorspelsvanor och förkunskaper i ämnet människokroppen och hälsa och en efter som undersökte elevernas uppfattning om datorspelet och deras kunskaper efter spelet. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att elevernas attityd till och uppfattning om Lasarus är mycket god. Dessvärre visar resultaten på en mycket liten kunskapsutveckling hos eleverna efter att de spelat Lasarus. / The purpouse of my research is to learn about pupil´s apprehension about computergames and how a specific computergame, Lasarus, affect the pupil´s understandings with the human body and a healthy livstyle. The study was made with fifth graders. The pupil´s played Lasarus and also answered questionnaires, about their computergames habbits, knowledge about the human body and their opinion about Lasarus, before and after they played. The study show that the pupil´s opinion of Lasurus is good, but the understandning about the human body and a healthy lifestyle has not been affected or developt in any significant extent.

The meditation Sinner and beggar of Noordmans is used as a heuristic instrument to conduct a critical theological inquiry into the relationship between standard of living and the forgiveness of sins in the Reformed tradition. According to Noordmans the beggar (Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31) unlike the sinner (the tax collector in Luke 18:9-14) repents not only in a brief moment, but testifies with the totality of his existence to his heavenly inheritance. The intimate relation between physical suffering and salvation that Noordmans deducts from the parables, is compared with the parable interpretations of a few selected commentators. The content of his meditation is analysed against the background of his theological thought in general. Noordmans’s critique on the views of Pierson and the Heidelberg Catechism, Sunday 10, on Providence is placed in perspective by Calvin’s general guidelines on the correct use of earthly comforts. The connection between Calvin and contemporary society is brought about by examining exponents of neo-Calvinism (Kuyper) and Liberation theology (Gutiérrez). The perspectives on the relation between standard of living and the forgiveness of sins of Heyns, Bosch and Mofokeng are investigated to verge upon the Southern African situation. The particular angles of interlocutors on creation, eternal life and responsibility with regard to the relationship between standard of living and forgiveness of sins are systematically scrutinized. From this analysis a B&S-SCHEME (beggar-and-sinner-scheme) evolves – an aid to a more nuanced reflection on theological propositions concerning the relationship between standard of living and the forgiveness of sins. / Thesis (DD)--University of Pretoria, 2005. / Dogmatics and Christian Ethics / unrestricted
