Many of the schools premises are neglected and the physical environment has not been prioritised. Instead the focus is set on scientific learning methods and pedagogic. The need for an environmental shift has not got an essential place in the governing documents for schools, although the focus on school premises should be suited to the purpose of the activity and for the pupils needs. Today the interest and the need of research within the physical environment is evermore increasing. The Swedish Work Environment Authority, present in their activityplan for 2006, that the schools premises and equipment is not adjusting to today’s activity and it is in bad condition that can lead to work-related injuries. The purpose of this essay is to bring to light a different pedagogic train of thought around the surrounding environments importance, for students learning and to compare these with our study of a selection of classrooms and what the teachers to these classrooms consider about the environments importance. We therefore aim to focus our research on the physical environment and how that can influence the learning process. Can one overcome certain boundaries and create new possibilities in a different environment of learning? The research declared a great number of theories that show the environment influenced students in many different ways. According to the educationalist in the study, it is important to have a miscellaneous environment so all students can learn in their ultimate way. The strict budget, schools are often left with, is preventing any positive improvements that could be made to create a more positive school environment, physically and mentally. There are many ways to get around this problem. Most important is to include everyone in the school so that they feel they are a part of that environment and that they have the power to change things.

This bachelor thesis investigates the discourses on violence among pupils in a school environment. The overall aim is to gain knowledge on how it is researched, interpreted and understood. The methods employed are genealogical analysis, discourse analysis and intersectional analysis. The analyzed texts consist of research reports, articles, dissertations and government authority guidelines. The theoretical framework drawn upon is post modernistic theory, social constructivism and intersectional theory. The main finding of the genealogical study may be that the “Olweus-discourse” may be construed as s dominating understanding of violence in school environment. In the Swedish National Agency for Education’s guidelines the violence among pupils in schools is represented by “harassment” and “violations”, whereas the recommended actions are mainly bureaucratic. The main conclusion of the intersectional analysis is that the studies guidelines might reinforce processes of normalization and that the Skolverket does not question the implications of the significant difference it refers to. All three studies suggest that a discourse of “systematic violence” as an understanding of violence between pupils in school is widespread. This bachelor thesis raises further questions about how discourse is further realized and how the performance of power in school environment is reinforced through “systematic violence”.

Denna systematiska litteraturstudie ämnar tolka tidigare forskningsresultat kring samtalsinnehåll i utvecklingssamtal. Syftet var att undersöka om det fanns bristande utföranden av utvecklingssamtal eller arbetet kring utvecklingssamtal, om elevens kunskapsutveckling var i fokus under samtalen, samt om hur samspelet mellan lärare och elev kan vara en faktor för hur eleven ser på sig själv. Resultatet upptäcktes genom att söka igenom olika databaser för att sedan identifiera, välja, värdera och analysera den forskning som hittades. Sedan handplockades den vetenskapliga litteratur som ansågs relevant till frågeställningen. Metoden följer Forsbergs och Wengströms (2013) instruktioner för hur en systematisk litteraturstudie bör skrivas och hur man på ett fördelaktigt sätt finner rätt typ av litteratur till sin studie. Resultatet påvisade sedan att utvecklingssamtalens samtalsinnehåll inte fokuserade tillräckligt på elevens kunskapsutveckling utan snarare på elevers trivsel i skolmiljön. Fortsättningsvis visade resultatet att anledningar till det bristfälliga arbetet kring samtalen hade stor förbindelse till lärares brist på tidsutrymme. Lärare saknar den tid som krävs för att förbereda samtalet, utföra samtalet och efterarbetet kring samtalet för att varje individ ska utvecklas. I slutändan kom studien fram till att anledningen för det bristande utförandet av utvecklingssamtal grundar sig i att lärare inte hinner med att utföra samtalen så grundligt som det skulle behövas för att främja elevernas utveckling.

Neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning (NPF) påverkar elevens beteende och minskar signifikant funktionella adaptiva färdigheter i vardagen. Social kommunikation och interaktionsförmåga, språk, uppmärksamhet, känslor, motorisk prestanda, lärande samt minne är exempel på områden där påverkan kan visas. I skolan ställs krav på anpassning samt att följa uttalade och outtalade regler. Skolornas elevhälsa ska omfatta medicinska, psykologiska, psykosociala och specialpedagogiska insatser och ska främst vara förebyggande och hälsofrämjande. Studiens syfte var att undersöka skolsköterskans erfarenheter av elever med NPF i skolan och skolsköterskans insatser för elevgruppen i ett hälsofrämjande och förebyggande perspektiv. Studien är explorativ samt kvalitativ och baseras på fokusgruppsintervju. Fem skolsköterskor deltog med varierande yrkeserfarenhet från drygt ett år till 15 år. Både grund- och gymnasieskola var representerade. Resultatet visar att skolsköterskorna önskar kunna göra mer för elever med NPF samt att det inte alltid är enkelt att kunna särskilja vad som är hälsofrämjande och förebyggande insatser. De efterfrågar mer samarbete, strukturerade arbetssätt och riktlinjer i ämnet hälsofrämjande och förebyggande insatser samt mer tid. Svårigheter beskrivs i att kunna särskilja vad som är hälsofrämjande och förebyggande insatser. För att kunna stötta elever med NPF behövs ett utökat samarbete, strukturerade arbetssätt och riktlinjer i ämnet hälsofrämjande och förebyggande insatser samt mer tid. Nyckelord: Neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar, NPF, skolmiljö, skolsköterska, elevhälsa / Neuropsychiatric Disability (NPF) affects student behavior and reduces functional adaptive skills in everyday life. Social communication and interactivity, language, attention, emotion, motor performance, learning and memory are examples of areas where impact can be seen. The school requires adaptation and adherence to pronounced and unspoken rules. The Student Health care should include medical, psychological, psychosocial and special educational efforts, and should aim to both prevent illness and promote health. Students' development towards the goals of the education should be supported. The purpose of the study was to investigate the school nurse's experiences of pupils with NPF and the school nurse's efforts for the student group in a health promotion and prevention perspective. This is an explorative qualitative study based on a focus group interview. Five school nurses participated with varied professional experience, varying from one to 15 years. Both elementary school and high school were represented. The results show that school nurses wish to do more for pupils with NPF and that it is not always easy to distinguish between health promotion and preventive measures. They want more cooperation, structured working methods and guidelines in the field of health promotion and prevention, and more time. Difficulties are described in distinguishing between health promotion and preventive measures. In order to support NPF students, enhanced collaboration, structured work methods and guidelines are needed in the field of health promotion and prevention efforts and more time. Keywords: Neuropsychiatric Disabilities, NPF, School environments, School Nurses, Student Health

Mental illness is a worldwide problem and can be seen as a threat to public health, both nationally and internationally. The purpose of this study is to investigate what kind of reactions and support young people with mental illness experienced, during their Primary School years. This was studied by interviews to understand children and adolescents’ experiences. Of particular interest was to examine how they had been treated, by the school system, staff, classmates, and others in their school environment. The results show that mental illness can take different shapes and that their experience shows that it is important to have a feeling of belonging and to fit in. The results also show that they as children had been badly treated by the staff in their school and felt that they had to put on a mask and hide their mental health problems, which was stressful and hard. The results have been analysed with Axel Honneth's theory of recognition and theories of Erving Goffman. / Psykisk ohälsa är ett världsomfattande problem och kan ses som ett hot mot folkhälsan, både nationellt och internationellt. Denna studie har som syfte att undersöka vilket stöd barn och unga med psykisk ohälsa upplever att det har fått i grundskolan samt hur de upplever bemötandet under skoltiden. Studien genomfördes genom kvalitativa intervjuer samt tidigare forskning. Särskilt intresse ligger på att undersöka hur de själva uppfattar att de blivit bemötta av skolsystemet, personal, klasskamrater och personer som befinner sig och verkar i deras omgivning. Resultatet visar att psykisk ohälsa kan ha olika uttryck, men att det viktigaste är att känna tillhörighet och att passa in i skolan. Det var även vanligt med upplevelser av bristfälligt bemötande av skolpersonal och att tvingas uppvisa en fasad och gömma sin psykiska ohälsa, något som var mycket påfrestande och energikrävande. Data har analyserats med Axel Honneth’s teori om erkännande samt teorier av Erving Goffmans.

Result list, result list on the wall, who is the fastest of them all? An essay about equality, justice and ethical consideration. This is an academically researched essay, based on my professional experiences as a leisure time pedagogue. The point of departure of this essay is one particular incident, where I in my professional role, perceived that the school and I did not act in accordance with the equality goals and objectives set up by the school. Exploring topics such as equality, fairness and ethics, this essay questions how the professionals at the school in question handle and relate to these topics. Consulting a number of theories, this essay challenges my very own actions and reflects over the different ways I could have reacted and responded to this situation. In sum, this essay has arrived at the conclusion that there are several different ways in which I could have responded. The significant learning outcome is that I, in my professional role, need to see every student and their individuality, without prejudice and predisposed expectations based on stereotypes from my previous experiences.

Detta är en kvalitativ studie som har för avsikt att undersöka hur elever samtalar om ekologisk hållbarhet inomhus och utomhus. Vad finns det för likheter mellan samtalen och finns det någon skillnad på hur eleverna samtalar med varandra beroende på vart samtalet äger rum? Studien genomfördes på två olika skolor med en årskurs 5 och en årskurs 6. För att besvara syfte och frågeställningar genomfördes gruppintervjuer med tio elever på respektive skola där fem elever fick samtala utomhus och fem elever inomhus. Resultatet visar att eleverna samtalar på olika sätt beroende på situation och sammanhang. Det som synliggörs i elevernas samtal med varandra är deras resonemangsförmåga, begreppsförståelse i olika grad, kopplingar till deras intresse och erfarenheter samt att eleverna kopplar samtalet till något som de ser i sin närhet. Resultatet visar även att eleverna har enförmåga att mediera sin kunskap med hjälp av samspelet med andra och det som finns runtomkring för att föra samtalet om ekologisk hållbarhet framåt.

The subject being studied is grade differences between upper secondary schools thatare geographically located in Sweden. Through public statistics, a great differencein the grades was discovered when we were able to identify that some schools hadmuch higher final grades even though they were placed within the same county. Theresults of the statistics inspired us to create a purpose of this study to build anunderstanding of the factors that affect results of the students in school, this is donebased on teachers' and principals' stories and perceptions. The research question thatthe study is based on is: How can we understand the differences in final gradesbetween poorer and better performing schools based on teachers and principals'stories? The method chosen to be used to conduct the study is a qualitative studywith interviews as collected material. Theory selected to analyze and understand theobject of study is Foucault's theories of power. In summary, the most outstandingaspects of the conclusion were how the different schools work through differentstrategies regarding the children's grades. Keywords that have been used areRelational Pedagogy, Power Relations, Leadership, School Environment and SchoolAbsence.
