The pressure on teachers to change teaching methods has become increasingly intense. Many schools devote countless hours to educational discussions that aim to develop teachers’ teaching methods and thus raise the meeting of objectives of the students. At the secondary school Spyken in Lund, several studies have been conducted with students in order to form a picture of how they view their studies. One of the issues was how well students understood what was expected of them in the different subjects. The result was lower than desired, so focus is on changing the teaching in this area. School development has been a hot topic recently, and several studies have been presented that show which factors are most important to a pupil’s achievement and knowledge. High on the list of important factors is the understanding of what is required to cope with the task.
