    Syftet med den hĂ€r uppsatsen Ă€r att visa hur vi kan förstĂ„ oss sjĂ€lva som kvinnor och mĂ€n utan att betrakta kön som nĂ„got naturligt och inneboende. Kön Ă€r sociala och kulturella konstruktioner och vi lever i ett heteronormativt samhĂ€lle dĂ€r könsskillnaden Ă€r genomgripande – vi utgĂ„r frĂ„n heterosexualitet som den normala sexualiteten och vi skiljer pĂ„ mĂ€nniskor i kvinnor och mĂ€n. Genom att analysera mina egna minnen i ett minnesarbete undersöker jag mina erfarenheter av könsnormer. Hur har normer kring manlighet kommit till uttryck under min grundskoletid och hur har de pĂ„verkat mitt beteende och min sjĂ€lvuppfattning? Minnesarbetets fokus ligger pĂ„ egna erfarenheter och reflektioner, men i förlĂ€ngningen Ă€r syftet att bygga kollektiva identiteter dĂ€r traditionella förhĂ„llanden betraktas pĂ„ nya sĂ€tt.The purpose of this thesis is to show how we can understand ourselves as women and men without regarding gender as being something self-evident and inherent. Gender is a social and cultural construction and we live in a hetero normative society where differences in gender are allinclusive – we act on the assumption that heterosexuality is the normal state of sexuality and that humans are separated into men and women. By analysing my own memories in a memory work, I explore my own experiences of gender standards. How was the standard of what is masculine manifested during my time in compulsory school? In addition, in what way has it influenced my own behaviour and self-perception? The focus of the memory work lies in my own experiences and reflections; however, in the prolongation the purpose is to build collective identities where traditional contexts are perceived in new ways

    Utveckling av det svenska sprĂ„ket hos nyanlĂ€nda barn i förskolan Ă€r en empirisk studie om pedagogernas arbetssĂ€tt, metoder och strategier för att frĂ€mja nyanlĂ€nda barns sprĂ„kutveckling samt betydelsen av modersmĂ„let för sprĂ„kutvecklingen. Sex kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med sex pedagoger verksamma vid fem förskolor i mĂ„ngkulturella omrĂ„den i en medelstor stad i Sverige. De teoretiska utgĂ„ngspunkterna som ligger till grund för studien Ă€r Vygotskijs sociokulturella teori, Piagets teori av den kognitiva utvecklingen, samt Bruners teori om sprĂ„kutveckling. I resultaten har framkommit att utvecklig av det svenska sprĂ„ket hos nyanlĂ€nda barn upplevs som en utmaning men samtidigt som en spĂ€nnande uppgift för pedagogerna.

Six qualitative interviews were conducted with preschool teachers working in five different preschools in multicultural areas in a medium-sized town in Sweden. The theories that form the basis for the study are Vygotskij’s sociocultural theory, Piaget’s theory of the cognitive development, and Bruner’s theory of language development. The result of the study shows that preschool teachers have experienced the process of the Swedish language development of newly-arrived children as a challenging as well as an exciting task. It has been also revealed that feeling of safety, interaction among children, presence and support of preschool teachers, sign and body language, various support material and mother tongue are crucial for childrenÂŽs language development
