Skola

Palīgmateriāls vēstures caurvijām ar dizainu un tehnoloģijām skolā. Te apkopoju internetā atrastos paraugus un izveidoju tādu kopīgo ideju krātuvi pamatskolai kā tādai (no 7. klases, kad vēsturē šiem ir akmens laikmets un antīkie laiki, līdz 9. klasei, kad spriežam par trakajiem divdesmitajiem).
Jā, piemeklētie paraugi prasa piepūli, taču ir paveicami. Pusaudzis, kuram ir kādas iemaņas zāģēšanā, šūšanā vai knipelēšanā, bieži vien vienkārši nespēj izdomāt sev mērķi, uz ko tiekties tajos rokdarbos, un tāpēc tā arī paliek pie skolotāja uzdotā minimuma izpildes līmeņa. Ceru, ka manis piemeklētie paraugi varētu kalpot kā šāds mērķis. Ja ne skolā, tad mājās.

This study aims to investigate how six different teachers of mathematics experience grading in Swedish upper secondary school with focus on the borderline between passed and not passed. The empirical material is based on six interviews about teachers’ personal work experience.
The theoretical frame of the study is hermeneutic phenomenology and the job demands- resources model. This means that grades are understood as phenomenon and that grading is considered to be a demanding job task.

The results show that Swedish teachers of mathematics find grading problematic and exhausting. Furthermore, this study shows that teachers’ grading is influenced by their relationship with the pupils and that it is affected by other external factors such as the study program they work with and headmasters. Finally, Swedish teachers of mathematics seem to consider written tests the most important, if not only, way to test students’ mathematics knowledge.

This study shows that Swedish teachers’ grading experience is very complex, and that grading is not an unequivocal action. This implies that grades are not as objective as they should be since they are used as a selection tool to get into university.

The purpose with this paper is to investigate the intolerance among students in secondary school and upper secondary school at three different schools in Vara Community.

How intolerant are the students to Muslims, Jews, homosexuals and gypsies? The study is based on a questionnaire from the intolerance report, a paper written by BRÅ. The intolerance report shows the intolerance among 10 600 students who live in different parts of Sweden. This paper is based at the same questionnaire as the intolerance report, but the students are from Vara community. 206 students completed the questionnaire.

The result of this paper shows that the general intolerance among the students is a little higher in Vara community than in the rest of the country. The students at one of the three schools – Nästegårdsskolan – seem to have much higher intolerance than the other two schools in Vara community and in the country. The study also shows that almost 50 % of the students in Vara community are intolerant against gypsies. The study also shows that girls are more tolerant than boys.
