Inlärning på gymnasiet: Vilka möjligheter finns att tillgodose elevens individuella inlärningsstil? En kvalitativ studie av hur fyra lärare och deras elever arbetar med inlärningsstilar

Abstract

This is a C-report for a teacher training exam at School of Education and researching by the University of Gothenburg. This paper will answer the question if there is a balance between the goal to adapt to the students individual needs and the fact that there must be a curriculum for the school to follow. In order to do this, an analysis is made, based on question forms, knowledge about teaching and updated restrictions concerning the subject. The knowledge about teaching is, among others, based upon Lena Boström's and Hans Wallenberg's book: Inlärning på elevernas villkor ­ inlärningsstilar i klassrummet. Models and tools used are taken from the suggested course literature and also from recommendations of people with insight in the subject. The answer to the question, if there is a balance between the collective group and every individuals needs, is that the school of today has improved a lot, but still has a long way to go to be considered a success. There is also a great difference between different schools and how they have chosen to handle the curriculum. However, to remain successful, all schools must continuously seek to counteract threats and weaknesses; both stated in this report and others that may occur along the way.
