Sammanfattning: The purpose of this essay is to understand what methods are used to mediate prehistory in school and if teachers favour interactive or more traditional methods. A qualitative semi structured interview was conducted, five teachers from different schools north of Gothenburg were asked about their teaching methods and how they experience their schools, the governments, and archaeological organizations support in providing services and material for the teachers as well as support for conducting interactive classes. The result was analysed with help of two theories, phenomenology and experiential learning theory. Result shows that the teachers did not favour either interactive or more traditional methods, the preference was rather to combine as many interactive and traditional methods as possible to educate the students about Swedish prehistory.
