Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka analysverktyg med fokus på LUS (LäsUtvecklingsSchema) samt att söka kunskap om pedagogers nytta med användandet. Vi vill även ta reda på vilken hänsyn man som pedagog tar i användandet av analysverktyget, med tanke på elevers modersmål, tidigare erfarenheter och förståelse av skriftspråket. Genom att använda oss av relevant litteratur och enkäter med öppna frågor, vill vi ge ett kvalitativt resultat av problemområdet. De pedagoger som deltagit i studien har olika erfarenheter av LUS och kan därför ge en nyanserad bild av LUS i praktiken. Uppsatsen börjar med en bakgrund bestående av vilken betydelse läsning har i samhället, vad styrdokumenten säger samt beskrivning av analysverktyg. Med de ämnen vi behandlar i teoridelen ger vi en bild av läsinlärning, tidigare forskning och Nya LUS-boken. Resultatet och analysen visar att LUS-användningen är utbredd i skolor och att LUS är ett bra bedömningsinstrument om man tar i beaktande dess begränsningar, såsom att LUS inte tar hänsyn till att alla elever har olika bakgrund.

The purpose of this investigation is to look into analytical tools biased towards reading development. Our aim is also to seek knowledge about how teachers actually use the analytical tools. We also want to find out what considerations are made in the usage of the tools, regarding children’s native language, earlier experience and understanding written language. We will, with relevant literature and an opinion poll which contains questions without given answers, create a quality based study that answers the investigations question at issue. The teachers who has participated in this essay, can with their different experience in using analytical tools, bring light to different perspectives and therefore give a good picture of analytical tools in use. Our investigation begins with a background which contains the significance in reading, curriculums and a escription of analytical tools. In the following part you can read about learning how to read, former research and a description of the book named, “Nya LUSboken”, which is about one sort of analytical tools focusing reading. The results show that almost every school use LUS and that it’s a good tool if you consider it’s limits regarding different pupils backgrounds.

How to Read an Academic Article

Sections of an academic article.

Most academic journal articles include the following sections:

  • Abstract  (An executive summary of the study)
  • Introduction (Definition of the research question to be studied)
  • Literature Review (A summary of past research noting where gaps exist)
  • Methods (The research design including variables, sample size, measurements)
  • Data (Information gathered through the study often displayed in tables and charts)
  • Results (Conclusions reached at the end of the study) Conclusion (Discussion of whether the study proved the thesis; may suggest opportunities for further research) Bibliography (A list of works cited in the journal article)

TIP: To begin selecting articles for your research, read the highlighted sections to determine whether the academic journal article includes information relevant to your research topic.

Step 1: Skim the Article

When sorting through multiple articles discovered in the research process, skimming through these sections of the article will help you determine whether the article will be useful in your research.

  • Article title  and subject headings assigned to the article
  • Introduction

If the article fits your information needs, go back and read the article thoroughly. TIP: Create a folder on your computer to save copies of articles you plan to use, and save your references.

Step 2: Determine Your Purpose

Think about how you will evaluate the academic articles you find and how you will determine whether to include them in your research project.  Ask yourself the following questions to focus your search in the academic literature: ​

  • Are you looking for an overview of a topic or an explanation of a specific concept, idea, or position?
  • Are you exploring gaps in the research to identify a new area for academic study?
  • Are you looking for research that supports or disagrees with your thesis or research question?
  • Are you looking for examples of a research design and/or research methods you are considering for your own research project?

Step 3: Read Critically

Before reading the article, ask yourself the following:

  • What is my research question? What position am I trying to support?
  • What do I already know about this topic?  What do I need to learn?
  • How will I evaluate the article?  Author's reputation? Research design? Treatment of topic? 
  • What are my biases about the topic?

As you read the article make note of the following:

  • Who is the intended audience for this article?
  • What is the author's purpose in writing this article?
  • What is the main point?
  • How was the main point proven or supported?  
  • Were scientific methods used in conducting the research? Do you agree or disagree with the author? Why?
  • How does this article compare or connect with other articles on the topic?
  • Does the author recommend areas for further study?
  • How does this article help to answer your research question?
