Over the recent years, global migration flows have brought increasing numbers of immigrating children to Swedish schools and this has, in turn, generated attention to questions regarding inclusive education. This case study aims to investigate how experienced teachers meet the needs of newly arrived students in the English classroom. The study is conducted at a primary school (grade F-6), located in a middle-sized town in southern Sweden, where 98% of the students have an immigrant background. This study is based on semi-structured interviews with three teachers and the principal of the school. We perceive that this is a school where inclusion seems to work quite well and by conducting this study we want to shed light on seemingly functional working methods. This study also investigates possibilities and challenges that teachers might face in the English classroom.

Abstract The signification of the eyesight for children’s development and learning- how do pedagogues support and stimulate children with defective vision in their development and learning in pre-school? These issues are based on my purpose of the field survey investigations, where I have interviewed three pedagogues and also performed an observation. My main conclusion and results describe that the vision is the high-powered engine in children’s development and learning. It also tells us that those around the children are very important for optimum development and learning, especially when it comes to supporting and stimulating children with defective vision in their necessities. Our other senses are a compensation to make it easier for children with defective visions in their lives. But all our senses are equally important for children with defective vision as they are for seeing children in their development and learning with their whole body in pre-school. Keywords: Eyesight, children with defective vision, development and learning in pre-school, pedagogues, pedagogical support and stimulation / Sammanfattning Vilken betydelse har synsinnet för barns utveckling och lärande? Hur kan pedagoger med hjälp av olika pedagogiska insatser eller hjälpmedel, stödja och stimulera barn som är synskadade i deras utveckling samt i sitt lärande i förskolan? Dessa frågeställningar speglar mitt syfte med denna uppsats. Frågeställningarna i sin tur har under processens gång också vidarebearbetats till tre frågeområden, vilka också har varit centrala i undersökningens genomförande av en observation och intervjuer med tre pedagoger. Huvudresultatet och min slutsats visar att synsinnet är motorn i ett barns utveckling och lärande. Om ett barn har en synskada är omgivningens förhållningssätt, bemötande och agerande livsviktigt för att stödja samt stimulera barnet optimalt utifrån de behov barnet har. För att underlätta tillvaron för synskadade barn är våra övriga sinnen ett exempel på kompensatoriska hjälpinsatser, dessutom är de viktiga för alla barn i deras utveckling och lärande med hela kroppen i förskolan. Nyckelord: Synsinnet, synskadade barn, utveckling och lärande i förskolan, pedagoger, pedagogiska hjälpinsatser

Hana Pomahačová ABSTRACT This master thesis deals with teachers as co-creators of the profession of teaching assistant. This profession of teaching assistant, in our milieu, is a new profession, still not quite established. However, it is a highly important part of the inclusive education. The goal of this work is especially to contribute to a further discussion about the profession of teaching assistant. The work is based on the constructionist paradigm, the profession of a teaching assistant is dealt as a social construct profession and the teachers are seen as one of actors - co-creators of this construction, whose everyday professional lives are touched with inclusion and thus also with the work of a teaching assistant. This means, that the attention is brought especially to the way, how the profession of a teaching assistant is understood in everyday life and which kind of acting comes out of this understanding. The theoretical part is focused on brief definition of basic terms, as the profession of teaching assistant, its legislation framework, inclusive education, social constructionism and other actors creating the profession of teaching assistant are interpreted. In the practical part the attention is focused on one of these actors, namely the teacher of the firs grade of elementary schools. Based...

The diploma thesis on the topic Special pedagogical support in the field of work training of persons with multiple disabilities aims to clarify the issue of work training of students of the One-Year Practical School and the Two-Year Practical School and their subsequent employment. The work is divided into several parts, the theoretical part is focused on information from professional publications and electronic sources, which describes the basics of this issue, which is an integral part of the topic. Furthermore, the theoretical work reveals the definition of the term person with disabilities, the specification of multiple disabilities and related terms such as education of people with multiple disabilities, vocational training and employment. It also describes the possibilities of connecting social services with education, social services that students can use within the Arpida Center.

Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att lyfta fram erfarenheter om hur förskollärare hanterar situationer med barn med utmanande beteende i förskolan. Pilotstudien fokuserar på förskollärares erfarenheter av stödåtgärder för att kunna bemöta barn med utmanande beteende samt vikten av kunskaper och möjligheter till vidareutbildning. De frågor som pilotstudien avsåg att besvara var följande: Vilka pedagogiska strategier använder sig förskollärarna av i sitt arbete i förskolan samt finns det möjlighet för förskollärarna att vidareutveckla sina pedagogiska strategier? För att kunna få insikt i problemområdet har vi som utgångspunkt använt oss av ett sociokulturellt perspektiv och genomfört en pilotstudie med enkät som medel för datainsamling. 34 rektorer och totalt 137 förskollärare tillfrågades om de ville medverka i studien. Vårt resultat bygger på svar från sju förskollärare. Samtliga sju förskollärare framhåller att det finns möjligheter till vidareutbildning och att de anser att de får möjlighet att utvidga sina kunskaper via de olika strategier som tillämpas i barngruppen i undervisningen. Sammantaget visar pilotstudien på varierande grundkunskaper utifrån vad förskollärarna fått ta del av under sin utbildning. Men framför allt visar resultaten från pilotstudien att förskollärare faktiskt fått kunskap under sin utbildning i att bemöta barn med utmanande beteende. Samtidigt pekar pilotstudien på vikten av möjligheter till vidareutbildning för att kunna hantera framtida situationer med barn med utmanande beteende. Slutsatsen blir att pilotstudien ger en inblick i ett komplext problemområde där pilotstudien kan ligga till grund fortsatta studier där det kan avsättas mer tid för datainsamling.

Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen om ett pedagogiskt stöd till medarbetarna kan främja jämställdhetsintegreringen på arbetsmarknaden genom en utvecklingsinriktad förändringsprocess. Kognitiv teori har använts som utgångspunkt med en socialkonstruktivistisk tyngd. Datainsamlingen har skett genom en kvantitativ metod där en enkätundersökning gjordes med ett obundet slumpmässigt urval. Enkäten delades ut via sociala media på Facebook och Instagram. Det var 49 respondenter som deltog varav 40 kvinnor och 9 män. Resultatet visade att kvinnor i större utsträckning upplever mer ojämställdhet och diskriminering. De anser att mer information, utbildning och stöd i från både myndigheter och arbetsgivare i kombination med strängare straff kan främja jämställdhetsintegreringen. Män anser att ökad information, utbildning, stöd från myndigheter och arbetsgivare är tillräckliga åtgärder för jämställdhetsintegreringen. Stor del av respondenterna upplevde att en ökad jämställdhet på arbetsmarknaden skulle även minska ojämställdhet och diskriminering i samhället. Avsaknad av tidigare forskning på det specifika området av ett pedagogiskt stöd i jämställdhetsintegreringen gör att ytterligare forskning kan krävas för att styrka resultat och slutsats av denna studie. / <p>PE207G.

The research had MEC data to give aspects of the Universities, also its office graduation about their own structures that are offered in these courses to graduate geography teachers. Some interviews were done with the coordinators of some these courses which made possible a well done research also in these institution. The research showed that many points get in fluency in teacher s graduation, and the pedagogical support like materials are very important for these graduations. The institutions which were researched as their coordinators say make the possible to offer a very high quality graduation for the future teachers, but some questions like how long a geography course take (it was the most important question), structures conditions, social-economical situation of the students and future geography teachers, many other reasons make good or bad influence to graduate geography teachers / O presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a formação de professores de geografia na região da Grande São Paulo, e ao mesmo tempo, verificar como é inserida a temática dos materiais didáticos dentro desta formação. O trabalho contou com dados do MEC para caracterizar as Instituições de Ensino Superior em seus aspectos quantitativos, bem como informações de suas respectivas Secretarias de Graduação sobre as estruturas curriculares oferecidas nestes cursos para formação de professores de Geografia. Foram realizadas entrevistas com os coordenadores de curso destas faculdades, o que tornou possível uma análise qualitativa também das Instituições de Ensino Superior. A pesquisa evidenciou que muitos fatores influenciam a formação de professores e que a questão dos materiais didáticos é vista com grande importância nas Instituições de Ensino Superior que foram pesquisadas. As respectivas Instituições de Ensino Superior, conforme seus coordenadores de curso fazem o possível para oferecer uma formação de qualidade para os futuros professores de Geografia, mas algumas questões como o tempo de duração dos cursos (fator mais citado entre todos os entrevistados), condições estruturais, situação sócio-econômica dos estudantes e futuros professores de geografia, e vários outros aspectos influenciam diretamente este processo de formação
