We always hear that the Swedish school system is very open and flexibel so the pupil can participate to choose what they want to learn. They are a role model for us especially for ICT and the social learning. Another aspect is that Swedish school are much more based on ICT lesson. Our colleagues are at a secondary school in the north of the Swedish capital Stockholm, so the pupil are in the age for 15 to 18. Ulla is teacher for religion, Swedish and history and Eva teaches natural sciences and Swedish. 
Every pupil in Sweden has his own device since some years that they use in school and at home for the homework. They are very sure in using the Apps, creating presentations and writing und save files. In our school we just start in level 7 that the parents have to buy a device for nearly 600€. The next classes will follow the next years. We teachers have to learn how to integrate the devices in our lesson. 

Our classes consist of 30 pupil up to class 11 and up to 23 in class 12/13 to pass the final Certificates. Our Swedish colleagues have smaller groups who can choose their subjects. It is called Programms.

In Sweden the student choose a program and in this program they read subject/ courses that all students at upper secondary school study, and they also study subjects/ courses that everybody in their program learn, and finally there is some courses that they can choose individually. In Germany the students can choose some courses but if they fail the state can kick them out and choose for them. I also learned that they in early age divide children into strong or week in different subjects. And that sometimes is good but not everything. I think both systems has strength but also weaknesses! And maybe we are both struggling in the same way in a changing society? I also learned that it is fun to meet teachers from another country in a tour to a totally different country that none of us are familiar with ( except Stefan who has been here before)... We are not the same age, nationality, religion, sex, have different backgrounds and so on... But we have also a lot in common and can laugh together. ]]> 2022-09-25 23:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/zd3w4xcpyr3zzr04/wish/2312650801 Hannes: johanneshaarmann https://padlet.com/rita100/zd3w4xcpyr3zzr04/wish/2312666209 Sunday, 26th  September 2022
I have learnt today:

Today I have learnt about the following highly interesting aspects of the Swedish school system:

First of all, we have learnt that our two kind Swedish colleagues are teaching students aged 16-19 at a secondary school that is situated about 180 km north of Stockholm, the Swedish capital.

While one of them, Ulla, teachers religious education, Swedish and history, the other one, Eva, also teaches Swedish and the natural sciences.

As to the students, they are highly comparable and similar to ours in some respects such as their attitudes towards life and technology, e.g. how much they love using or at times also misusing the so-called social media.

At the same time, however, there are also great differences. For instance, some of the courses Ulla and Eva are teaching at the moment are much smaller than ours. Furthermore, Ulla is teaching some courses for students with special needs that, fortunately, are still able to fit into the system respectively the job market.
The number of obligatory lessons to be taught per week also differ significantly (S: 14 / 17 lessons per week/ D:23,5 lessons per week) while the overall number of hours to work per week is slightly lower in Germany (S: 43 hours per week/ D: 40 hours per week; actually always more hours per week to work ;))

As to using ICT for school purposes, Sweden is much more advanced than Germany because, for example, every single Swedish student has already been given a portable computer device for free some years ago in order to use in her/his lessons. German students, however, haven’t been provided with such a device on such a large scale because the schools have just begun or are even yet to begin to do so. The ones that have already got such a device and are using it in the lessons have been given that by their parents for the most part. Thus, unfortunately, once again in the German school system the students’ socio-economic family background plays a major role and often does make a huge difference as to how well you do at school (or not).
