Abstract [sv]

Detta examensarbete har genomförts i samarbete med Åkerskolan i Strängnäs kommun och med stöd från Tekniska museet i Stockholm. Eleverna som har deltagit i studien går i årskurserna 1-4. Kvalitativa intervjuer och observationer har gjorts med eleverna på skogsutflykter med skolan och fritids för att samla data om deras förhållande till skogen och djur i skogen.

Studien är en fenomenologisk studie som lutar sig mot begreppet affordance, en term inom informationsdesign som beskriver relationen mellan ett fysiskt objekt och en person och de möjliga interaktionerna mellan en person och miljön omkring. Studien tar upp teorier om  människors relation till skogen och djurs relation till skogen för att visa ett perspektiv på skogen som ett hem.

Arbetet har resulterat i ett gestaltningsförslag i form av ett undervisningskoncept som ska kunna användas av lärare till årskurs 1-4 att använda till sina klasser i undervisningen, det är lekfullt och lärorikt för eleverna och kommer ändra deras sätt att se på sin närliggande skog och att tänka innan de agerar nästa gång.

Abstract [en]

This study was made with the elementary school Åkerskolan in Strängnäs county and with some support from the Museum of Technology, Tekniska Museet, in Stockholm county. The students that participated in the case were in first to fourth grade. Qualitative interviews and observations have been done with the students in a forest during school trips. This was to collect data about their relation to the forests and animals in the forest.

The study is a phenomenological study that focuses on affordance, which is a concept within information design that describes the relation between a physical object and a person and the possible interactions between a person and its environment. The study also brings up theories about the human relation and distance to the forest and animals' relation to the forest, to give a perspective of the forest as a home.

The work has resulted in a design as a concept for teachers in first to fourth grade to do with their students in school. It could be both playful and educational for the students and it will change their way to look at their nearby forests and they will think before they act next time.
