En skolbyggnad har alltid varit en allmän plats som representerat samhället och dess brukare genom dess höga kulturvärde. Idag finns det många olika stommaterial att använda för att bygga en skolbyggnad. År 2016 blev Sveriges första skola byggd i massivträ klar. Lärare är bland de viktigaste faktorerna för elevernas utveckling, men även miljön de befinner sig i påverkar deras inlärningsförmåga och välmående. Syftet med studien är att undersöka om skolornas val av stommaterial samt utformning påverkar elevernas trivsel. Syftet är även att kunna bidra med kunskap till byggsektorn om hur en skolas fysiska miljö kan utformas. Genom enkätundersökningar erhölls data från tre olika skolor, med tre olika stommaterial, från tre olika tidsepoker. Resultatet visade att den största parametern för elevers trivsel var lärarna och klasskamraterna, därefter kom färgerna i skolan. / A school building has always been a public place that represents the society and its users. Today there are a lot of different structural materials to use to build a school building. In 2016, Sweden’s first school built in solid wood was completed. Teachers are among the most important factors in enchancing student’s development, but also the enviroment they are in, affects their learning ability and well-being. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the schools’ choice of structural material and building design influences pupils’ well-being. The purpose is also to be able to contribute knowledge to the construction sector on how a school’s physical environment can be designed. A survey provided data from three different schools, with three different structural materials, from three different eras. The result shows that the most vital parameter for pupils’ well-being were the teachers and classmates, but also the colors of the school.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur gymnasieelevers aktivitetsmönster påverkas i samband med studier hemifrån genom fjärr- och distans. En kvantitativ, deskriptiv studie utfördes för att samla in data genom en egenkonstruerad enkät. Det var totalt 10 frågor och enkäten skapades med inspiration från det arbetsterapeutiska instrumentet bedömning av anpassningar i skolmiljön (BAS). Studien tillämpade en blandning mellan ett bekvämlighetsurval och snöbolls urval. 37 gymnasieelever deltog i studien. Data analyserades i mjukvaruprogrammet Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS), resultat presenterades genom deskriptiv statistik. Resultatet visar att gymnasielever föredrar studier i skolan över studier genom fjärr- och distans. Det framkommer att deltagarna spenderar mer tid på studier utöver lektioner (läxor, inlärning, uppgifter etc.) när de studerar genom fjärr- och distans än vad de vanligtvis gör när de studerar i skolan. Slutsatsen för studien är att fjärr- och distansstudier har en påverkan på gymnasieelevers aktivitetsmönster. / The purpose of the study was to investigate how high school student’s patterns of activity is affected in connection with studies through distance from home. A quantitative, descriptive study was performed to collect data through a self-designed questionnaire. There was a total of 10 questions and the questionnaire was created with inspiration from the occupational therapy instrument assessment of adaptations in the school environment (BAS). The study applied a mixture between a convenience selection and a snowball selection. 37 high school students participated in the study. Data was analyzed in the software program Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS), results were presented through descriptive statistics. The results showed that high school students prefer studies in school over studies through distance. It appears that the participants spend more time on studies in addition to lessons (homework, learning, assignments, etc.) when they study by distance than they usually do when they study in school. The conclusion is that distance studies have an impact on high school student’s patterns of activity.

Denna studie syftar mot att få ytterligare kunskap om lingvistiska landskap i en skolas miljö genom att undersöka hur flerspråkighet gestaltas i fysiska miljöer. Undersökningen har gjorts i en skola i norra Sverige och byggs upp av det sociokulturella perspektivets föreställning om språkets betydelse gällande elevers individ- och kunskapsutveckling. Vidare har skolan plats för cirka 700 elever, vilket har medfört att undersökningen koncentrerat sig på miljöer för elever i årskurs F–3. Studien ramas in av visuell etnografi som handlar mer om en kunskapsproduktion snarare än att endast samla in data. Totalt producerades 53 fotografier från skolans lingvistiska landskap som har stöttats upp av skriftliga fältanteckningar. Kombinationen av visuella och skriftliga fältanteckningar har använts för att skapa bredd i materialet. Den visuella etnografin är beroende av hur bilden används och tolkas för att synliggöra betydelser inom flerspråkighet. Därmed användes kvalitativ innehållsanalys med en konventionell ansats. Detta medförde att koder, etiketter och kategorier växte fram ur data. I det resultat som framställts visar det lingvistiska landskapet indikationer på fokus, underförstådda budskap och tankesätt om flerspråkighet. Studien påvisar att det växande forskningsfältet lingvistiska landskap kan medvetandegöra värdefull information om språkliga och sociala aspekter med bäring på elevers lärande. / This study aims to get further knowledge about linguistic landscapes in a school's environment by examining how multilingualism is shaped in physical environments. The study was conducted in a school in northern Sweden and is based on the socio-cultural perspective's idea of the importance of language regarding pupils' development both in terms of identity and knowledge. Furthermore, the school was built for about 700 pupils, which has meant that the study concentrated on environments for preschool class to year three. This study is framed by visual ethnography, which focus more on a knowledge production rather than just collecting data. The material consists of 53 produced photographs from the school's linguistic landscape combined with written fieldnotes. Likewise, the visual ethnography depends on how the image is used and interpreted to make visible meanings in multilingualism. Thus, qualitative content analysis with a conventional approach was used. This meant that codes, labels and categories emerged from the data. In the results presented, the linguistic landscape shows indications of focus, implicit messages and ways of thinking about multilingualism. The study shows that the growing research field of linguistic landscapes can raise awareness of valuable information about linguistic and social aspects based on pupils' learning.

The aim of my thesis is to discover how prevalent the sexual harassment by teachers at Czech secondary schools is and how students perceive such described problematic behaviour. In the theoretical section, I describe the history of origin of the term sexual harassment abroad as well as in the Czech Republic. Further, I present its definitions and Czech legislation of this phenomenon. Consequently, the readers will learn about theories of sexual harassment in the academic setting and about findings of some foreign and Czech researches recently held on this topic. Finally, the last chapter of the theoretical part is devoted to specific setting of secondary schools with emphasis on the main functions of educational institutions. I also point out consequences of adolescent students' sexual harassment. The empirical part then describes a chosen method - quantitative survey research - and its practical use. After that, the findings are presented and analyzed. Besides the overall occurrence of sexual harassment at Czech secondary schools I also focus on the comparison of this phenomenon perception between boys and girls and also among different types of Czech secondary schools.

Physical literacy (PL) is an approach to how people may be socialised to be physically active and was 2018 included in the World Health Organization's action plan on physical activity against physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour. In their action plan the education systems of the member states were challenged to work against physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour in the form of PL. How- and if PL is implemented in Swedish schools is not widely known. The purpose of this study was to examine how- and if, PL is implemented among Physical education teachers (PE) and school-age educare teachers (SAE) and their view of the approach. Our focus was on the four core elements of PL that contain Motivation, Confidence, Physical competence and Knowledge and understanding. Furthermore, the study aimed to investigate whether or not the teachers could spot similarities and differences between boys and girls PL. And also the conditions for SAE teachers and PE-teachers to work together to further develop students PL. This study was based on a semi-structured method, conducting seven interviews with SAE teachers and PE-teachers in the province of Västerbotten. The results of the interviews indicated that PL is not directly implemented in the current PE or SAE, but rather indirectly implemented. It also turned out that every interviewee makes individual adaptations for boys and girls, and that they see few gender differences related to the four core elements in PL. All teachers viewed PL as important and that the core elements affect all their students, varying with age. Most interviewees mentioned a collaboration between SAE and PE but the teachers don’t see a need for further collaborations. One conclusion of this study was that the approach of PL can contribute to further enhancing physical activity in school that could lead to lifelong health.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between effective school characteristics and norm referenced standardized test scores in American-style international schools. In contrast to schools in traditional effective schools research, international schools typically have middle to high SES families, and display average to above average achievement. Eleven effective school characteristics were identified and correlated with standardized test scores for grades 4, 6, and 8 and high school SAT scores. Data was gathered from an online teacher questionnaire designed for this study. All eleven characteristics were present in high performing international schools while frequent analysis of student progress, high academic expectations and positive school environment were more prominent. Positive school environment, high academic expectations, strong instructional leadership and cultural diversity were chosen as important characteristics of an effective international school. Learning time is maximized was the only characteristic that was significantly correlated with achievement and only in grades 4, 6 and 8. There was no statistically significant relationship found between norm referenced test scores and the aggregate effective school characteristics score.

Tidigare undersökningar påvisade i sina resultat att immigranter upplever någon form av social inkludering i introduktionsklass, och social exkludering i ordinarieklass. Mot bakgrund i tidigare forskning visades det pågå en samhällsdiskussion om detta ämne, vilket är inspirationen till denna studies forskningsområde. Studiens frågeställningar är formulerade mot bakgrund i att undersöka hur unga immigranter upplever inkludering och exkludering i svensk gymnasieskola i relation till klasskamrater och lärare. En kvalitativ ansats är tillämpad, som använder sig av 10 semistrukturerade intervjuer med tio respondenter, där samtliga respondenter har varit bosatta i Sverige mellan 5-10 år. De teorier och begrepp som stödjer denna studie använder sig av bland annat social identitetsteori av Tajfel och ackulturationsprocess av Berry. De huvudsakliga uppgifterna från respondenterna indikerade att ett positivt bemötande från klasskamraterna, med hjälpsamma och accepterande lärare, bidrog till upplevd inkludering i både SVA-klassen och i ordinarieklassen. De främsta orsakerna till att respondenterna upplevde exkludering i skolan i relation till klasskamrater och lärare grundade sig i otrevligt bemötande med spår av mobbning, samt fördomar som grundade sig i diskriminerande attityder. Vad som framgick av resultatet visade sig att maximal inkludering kunde upplevas i både SVA- och ordinarieklass, men det var ett mindre antal respondenter som upplevde det. / Previous surveys showed in their results that immigrants experience some form of social inclusion in introductory class, and social exclusion in ordinary class. Against the background of previous research, it was shown that there was an ongoing societal discussion on this topic,which is the inspiration for this study's research area.The study's questions are formulated against the background of investigating how young immigrants experience inclusion and exclusion in Swedish high school in relation to classmates and teachers. A qualitative approach is applied, which uses 10 semi-structured interviews with ten respondents, where all respondents have lived in Sweden between 5-10 years. The theories and concepts that support this study use, among others, social identity theory by Tajfel and acculturation process by Berry. The main data from the respondents indicated that a positive attitude from classmates, with helpful and accepting teachers, contributed to perceived inclusion in both the SVA class and in the regular class. The main reasons why the respondents experienced exclusion at school in relation to classmates and teachers were based on unpleasant treatment with traces of bullying, as well as prejudices based on discriminatory attitudes. What emerged from the results was that maximum inclusion could be experienced in both SVA and ordinary classes, but it was a smaller number of respondents who experienced it.
