The purpose of the study was to analyse time and clock and its progression in textbooks, for grades 4–6. The study also aimed, based on tasks linked to clock and time, to analyse which representation forms and mathematical competencies are trained in the selected textbooks. To studying as well as analysing different mathematics teaching textbooks, a document and textbook analysis was used to build up the approach for the study. The results of the study showed that in the selected teaching materials, a mixture of the forms of representation, however, often lacked a concrete model. Concrete model existed in a few single tasks. The study's results also show that students are given the opportunity to practice the five mathematical skills but to varying extents. Communication and reasoning ability are the skills that are least trained in teaching materials. The conclusion that can be drawn is that the role of teachers in the use of teaching materials in mathematics is of great im-portance because certain abilities are highlighted more in the workbook. The use of different representations might help the student to get good knowledge about time and the clock. Another conclusion is that the reasoning ability and communication skills need to be lifted more, so that students can learn to reason and communicate with each other. / Syftet med studien var att analysera tid och klocka och dess progression i läromedel, för åk 4–6. Studien syftade även utifrån uppgifter kopplade till tid och klocka att analysera vilka repre-sentationsformer och vilka förmågor det är som tränas upp i de utvalda läromedlen. För att studera såväl som analysera olika matematikläromedel, användes ett dokument- och läromedelsa-nalys för att bygga upp tillvägagångssättet för studien. Resultatet av studien visade på att de valda läromedlen hade en blandning av representationsformerna dock saknades ofta representationsformen konkret modell. Konkreta modeller fanns i några enstaka uppgifter. Studiens resultat visar även att eleven får möjlighet att träna de fem matematiska förmågor men i olika utsträckning. Kommunikations- och resonemangsförmågan är de förmågor som tränas minst i läromedel. Slutsatsen som kan dras är att lärarens roll vid användning av läromedel i matematik är av stor vikt eftersom vissa förmågor synliggörs mer i arbetsboken än andra. När olika representat-ionsformer används hjälper det eleven att få grundläggande kunskap om tid och klockan. En annan slutsats är att resonemangsförmågan och kommunikationsförmågan behöver lyftas upp mer, så att eleven får möjlighet att resonera och samtala med varandra.

The main research question that this study intends to answer is: "What power relations between the parties of the labour market can be found in the contemporary discourse on a modernization of the labour law?". The purpose is to expose in what way an unequal power relationship be- tween employers and employees is maintained and reproduced through problem representation in policy documents, using discourse analysis applied to the referral statements from Svenskt Näringsliv (confederation of Swedish enterprise) and Landsorganisationen i Sverige - LO (the national unions organization in Sweden) to the government inquiry into a modernized labour law, and thus add arguments in the continued debate on labour law, and contribute puzzle pieces to the larger whole, whose purpose is to uncover hidden power relations that affect the Swedish labour market in general. The study is expected to concretize these power structures with the help of Steven Luke's theories from “Power: A Radical View” and through Carol Bacchi's anal- ysis tool "What's the problem represented to be" approach.The results show that the power relationship between Svenskt Näringsliv and LO is primarily characterized by a struggle for hegemony and over the members 'and the public's image of which values should weigh most heavily in the issue of labour law and the parties' roles in the labour market. The struggle for the hegemonic takeover and the influence over the members' preferences is more tangible than the power the parties possess and exercise towards each other.
