This case study is made in the Swedish nine-year comprehensive compulsory school. In classroom research it is natural to put interest in the matter of how to create situations that implement learning-situations. Then it's often focus on teacher, the role and the instructions from the teacher. But school is far more complexness and it is of most importance to look at the consequence for the students. Some instructions leads to a growing interest of seeking for new knowledge on the other hand some can be characterized as "shut off"-messages. That is: How do students interpret instructions and advices from the teacher, how do they handle the situation by themselves and together with other students? What do they adopt and develop in the learning situation in general and also with special references given to those that otherwise are not involved in the student - student interaction? We want to get hold on important pieces in this complex process in order to analyse it in an interpretive approach both from an explicit and also an implicit point of view to see what enhance independent learning for the students. This study concentrates on life in classroom from a student's point of view. The main subject is to study the possibility to create a social environment in classrooms that supports a situation where students feel so confident in their interaction and learning that they can develop a more self-reliant and metacognitive attitude to learning. The students that have been studied so far are between 14 and 15 years old. In this special case we have followed a class in their daily work with a kind of storyline that is called history line. A number of lessons have been observed with field observations and video camera. There have also been a number of interviews with students to complete the picture. The study is a pilot study regarded as a start of a three year long action research project that hopefully will reveal some suggestions how to develop teaching and learning to be more metacognitive from the perspective of young people. The following perspectives can therefore describe what we are looking for and want to discuss in this research: How to create social environments for the students to give them such confidence that they find ways of learning in a metacognitive perspective? How to create conditions that improve interaction between students so there will be a learning situation in this particular meeting? How to create conditions that minimize negative exposure of students in the classroom?
