Study techniques have been a subject which is highly important. Students around Sweden go through school without ever being taught how to properly study for exams or tests and that affects the students, mostly negatively due to them not being able to learn the right way. Study techniques, study friendly environment, segregation and help from teachers and family are all parts that are needed to be taken into consideration when reviewing the students’ grades.
The purpose of this study is to really find out if there is a correlation of why the students at Röselidsskolan perform worse than the students at Torpskolan. That two schools in the same commune have a difference of up to 30 merit points, why is it so?
In this project, quantitative studies were performed and surveys were conducted on the ninth-graders at Torpskolan and Röselidsskolan. The surveys were first distributed to my contacts: David Lycke (Röselidsskolan) and Ann-Charlotte Jonasson (Torpskolan) and then they were sent out to the teachers and the students got to answer the surveys during school hours.
The most significant results the studies have shown is that the biggest differences may not be among the boys at the schools, but rather the girls. There are way more large differences in how much the girls study and how much effort they put into school.
