Distansbaserad grund- och gymnasial vuxenutbildning : De studerandes upplevelse av stöd, inkludering och relationer

In this study, the aim has been to examine students with earlier school failure, their experience of studying primary and secondary courses on municipal adult education and distance learning. In 2018, the Ministry of Education published a report about municipal adult education (SOU 2018:71) which showed that there is an altered group in adult education that contains more immigrants and people in need of support to manage school. The focus in this study has been on examining the students experience and inclusion, support and the relation to their teachers. The aim came from the fact that there are many students that leave upper secondary school without grades and many of them apply for adult education. This study contains interviews with four students with many missing points for a high school degree. It also includes literature review in areas of inclusion, distance studies, support, neuropsychiatric disabilities and Sense of Coherence. The results show that distance studies are a good alternative form of studying for the students in this study, with school failure, but that they all need a lot of quick feedback and support, in various forms. They also need good relations too the teachers in order to manage distance studies. The informants in this study are positive to study at municipal adult education and distance, if they get the right support
