Abstract [en]
The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge of individualism also how individualism is applied in a teacher’s classroom. Based on the curriculum, teaching is tailored to each and every student’s expectations and needs. My research has been qualitative and includes four interviews with practicing teachers in two multi-cultural schools in the city of Stockholm. I have investigated how these four teachers perceive individualism, also how they individualize when teaching to meet all students' expectations and needs according to them. In the analysis, the teachers’ methods have been applied to the theories and previous studies that were introduced in the theoretical chapter. Research results show that the teachers perceive individualism as a way of targeting the individual students during their lessons. Through individualism it is also possible for the teacher to abide by the curriculum which says to tailor teaching to each student’s expectations and needs. Prominent individualism methods that have been demonstrated were when teachers tailor their teaching according to student’s different backgrounds, experience and interests, also by getting to know each student.
