LÀxor som grÀnsobjekt för samverkan mellan hem och skola?
Studien analyserar laÌxor i ett laÌxsamarbe- te mellan hem och skola. Tidigare forskning med interaktiva laÌxor mellan hem och skola har studerat samarbetets betydelse foÌr elev- ernas resultat. HaÌr studeras daÌremot hur laÌx- or som utgaÌr ifraÌn foÌraÌldrarnas erfarenheter kan bidra till samarbetet och till ett specifikt innehaÌll. Datamaterialet bestaÌr av intervjuer, klassrumsobservationer och elevtexter insam- lade i samband med ett utvecklingsprojekt paÌ en multietnisk och flerspraÌkig hoÌgstadieskola. Eleverna diskuterade laÌxan foÌrst i klassen, sedan hemma och daÌrefter tillsammans i klas- sen â paÌ saÌ saÌtt kunde foÌraÌldrarnas bidrag bli en resurs foÌr hela klassen. Begreppet graÌns- objekt (Star & Griesemer, 1989) anvaÌnds foÌr att analysera vad som kaÌnnetecknade de laÌxor som ledde till samtal i hemmen och i skolan. NaÌr innehaÌllet i undervisningen stod i centrum skapades en annan sorts samarbete aÌn det som traditionellt aÌger rum vid foÌraÌldramoÌten och utvecklingssamtal. Samarbetet med laÌxorna karakteriserades av diskussioner och samtal mellan ungdomar och vuxna om skolgaÌng och barndom i olika delar av vaÌrlden och kring existentiella fraÌgor. Resultatet visar att laÌxor som beroÌrde foÌraÌlskelse, MellanoÌstern och re- ligion inte kunde fungera som graÌnsobjekt. Re-
sultatet visar ocksaÌ att foÌraÌldrar som i annan forskning emellanaÌt beskrivs som ett problem i samarbetet mellan hem och skola kunde bidra med sina livserfarenheter och vaÌrderingar till undervisningen. Studien ger en indikation om att laÌrare inte paÌ egen hand kan skapa laÌxor foÌr alla elever i flerspraÌkiga och multietniska klasser. FoÌr att lyckas kraÌvs ett innehaÌllsligt samarbete med elever och foÌraÌldrar.The study analyses homework assignments in a collaboration project between home and school. Previous research into interactive homework between home and school have studied the importance of this cooperation for student achievement. Here, however, a study is made of how homework assignments that are based on parentsâ experiences can contribute to cooperation, and to specific content. The data consists of interviews, classroom obser- vations and student texts collected during a development project in a multi-ethnic, multi- lingual secondary school. Students discussed the homework assignment in their class first, then at home and then together in class so that the parentsâ contribution could become a resource for the entire class. The concept of boundary object (Star & Griesemer, 1989) is used to analyse what characterised the home-

work assignments that led to discussion at home and at school. When the content of teach- ing is central, a different kind of cooperation than that which traditionally takes place at parent-teacher meetings and parent/teacher meetings is created. Collaboration in relation to homework was characterised by discussions and conversations between young people and adults about schooling and childhood in vari- ous parts of the world and on existential issues. Results show that homework assignments that included subjects such as love, the Middle East and religion could not function as boundary objects. Results also show that parents, who in other research contexts are sometimes described as a problem in the collaboration be- tween home and school, could contribute their life experiences and values to the teaching. The study provides an indication that teachers, on their own, cannot create homework for all the students in multilingual, multiethnic classes. Success requires content related collaboration from students and parents
Motivation inom trumundervisningen: en studie om trumelevers inre och yttre motivation
Motivation in drum education â A study in drum students intrinsic and extrinsic motivation What motivates drum students to practise their instrument? The purpose of this study is to get an insight of what factors motivates to play and prioritize the instrument. Motivation is of both intrinsic and extrinsic nature. The intrinsic motivation drives us to act without getting any external reward while the extrinsic motivation drives us to act to get a reward that doesnât have to do with the context. A qualitative survey was implemented where students from school of music, school of art and students from arts program answered questions regarding their interests in drumming. The survey has been processed and interpreted based on hermeneutic theory. The results show that most students who begin to practise an instrument do it because of outer influences. Those who decide to continue their playing have increased the intrinsic motivation and have a goal with their playing. Positive feedback from family and friends is significant and playing in ensemble is considered fun and stimulating.Vad motiverar trumelever att spela sitt instrument? Syftet med denna studie Ă€r att fĂ„ en inblick i vilka faktorer som motiverar att spela och prioritera sitt instrument. Motivation Ă€r av bĂ„de inre och yttre natur. Den inre motivationen driver oss att handla utan att fĂ„ yttre belöning, medan den yttre motivationen driver oss att handla för att fĂ„ en belöning som inte hör ihop med handlingen i sig. En kvalitativ enkĂ€tundersökning har genomförts, dĂ€r elever frĂ„n musikskola, kulturskola och estetiska programmet har svarat pĂ„ kvalitativa frĂ„gor angĂ„ende deras intresse för trummor. EnkĂ€ten har bearbetats och tolkats med grund i hermeneutiken. Resultatet visar att de flesta som börjar spela ett instrument gör det av en yttre pĂ„verkan. De som vĂ€ljer att spela under en lĂ€ngre tid har hittat den inre motivationen och har ett mĂ„l med sitt spelande. Positiva reaktioner frĂ„n omgivningen Ă€r betydande och att spela tillsammans med andra anses vara bĂ„de roligt och viktigt för utvecklingen
Bedömnings-, dokumentationspraktiker och pedagogiska identiteter
When competition and an increasing level of marketisation characterises school life, the number of evaluations and the level of control has grown out of proportion. Through comparisons, assessments and ranking systems, also called âthe terrors of performativityâ according to Ball (2003) commercial agents have gained influence over practices of assessment and documentation within the education system. Increased demands on pupilsâ and parentsâ participation and a belief that written documentation will lead to better results has caused an extensive use of different web based tools like Unikum. With the point of departure in a collected material of more than a hundred Individual Educations Plans (IEP) where commercial web based tools have been used, we make an analysis with Basil Bernsteinâs (1996, 2000) concepts Pedagogic Identity, and Instructional and Regulative discourse in relation to expectations and constructions manifest in the plans. The results show that all four identities are expressed in the plans however, with an emphasis on a neo-liberal identity. We discuss the results in relation to the instructional and regulative discourses. The conclusion is that the tools both shape and determine possible identities and possible discourses in the web based interaction between children, parents and teachers
Skolan som Inkluderingsverktyg: Tre elevers upplevelser av effekterna av beslutet att lÀgga ned RosengÄrdsskolans högstadium
RosengÄrdsskolan i Malmö fick under sina sista Är symbolisera de dalande resultaten i den svenska skolan pÄ ett nationellt plan. En lÄg mÄluppfyllelse och ohÄllbar arbetsmiljö ledde under 2013 till att skolans högstadium avvecklades med omedelbar verkan. Eleverna frÄn högstadiet spreds till skolor fördelade över hela staden. Den hÀr uppsatsen syftar till att reda ut om beslutet att lÀgga ned RosengÄrdsskolans högstadium fÄtt de positiva effekterna för eleverna som avsÄgs, men ocksÄ att vidare diskutera om det gjort att elevernas chanser till en vidare inkludering i samhÀllet ökat. I uppsatsen presenteras tre elevers berÀttelser och upplevelser av skolbytet och med hjÀlp av tidigare forskning och teori diskuteras deras berÀttelser i ett inkluderingsperspektiv. Slutsatsen Àr att de mÄl som avsÄgs med beslutet att lÀgga ned högstadiet generellt verkar ha uppfyllts och fÄtt positiva effekter i elevernas liv och för deras vidare inkludering i samhÀllet
â To be able to combine them you need to have a certain attitude towards what you are willing to do for sports and what you want to sacrifice.â : A thematic analysis of interviews with athletes in high school about dual careers.
Aim. The purpose of this study was to examine what perceptions athletic high school students have regarding the challenges and opportunities of a dual career. A successful dual career depends not only on the student himself, but also other factors have a strong influence on whether they succeed in combining sports with studies. Previous research shows that, among other things, the role of the support network is important for the young athlete. The study will also clarify how athletic students experience differences in schooling between themselves and non-athletes. In addition, the study reports for which skills athletes feel are important in both sports and studies.
Methods. This study has been done in the form of a qualitative interview study. Eleven (11) athletes from a Swedish speaking high school in Finland participated in the study. The material was collected through semi-structured interviews. The interviews were transcribed and were then analyzed with a thematic analysis model.
Results and conclusions. The perceptions of what enables and challenges a successful dual career are unequivocal. The results of this study confirm the role of support network, however, it turns out that some people are considered to be more important than others. Flexible schedules and arrangements also proved to be essential for the young athletes. Furthermore, it can also be pointed out that factors such as sufficient sleep and nutrition, as well as a healthy approach to both sports and studies can have a positive effect on the dual career. Everyday life differs significantly between athletes and non-athletes and the biggest
difference is the amount of school for the two different groups. In addition, it can be stated that the rights of athletic students help them combine the two, and without these privileges, schooling would be more similar to the non-athletesâ everyday school life. The results also show that athletes feel that certain skills, such as responsibility and mental strength, are essential as both an athlete and student.MĂ„l. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hurdana uppfattningar idrottande
gymnasieelever har gÀllande dubbelkarriÀrens utmaningar och möjligheter. En lyckad dubbelkarriÀr beror inte enbart pÄ eleven sjÀlv, utan Àven andra faktorer har en stark pÄverkan pÄ huruvida de lyckas kombinera idrott med studier. Tidigare forskning visar att bland annat stödnÀtverkets roll Àr viktigt för den unga idrottaren. Studien ska dessutom klargöra för hur idrottseleverna upplever skillnader i skolgÄngen mellan sig sjÀlv och icke-idrottare. DÀrtill redovisar studien för vilka fÀrdigheter idrottare upplever att Àr viktiga bÄde inom idrott och studier.
Metoder. Denna studie har gjorts i form av en kvalitativ intervjustudie. I studien deltog elva (11) idrottande gymnasieelever frÄn ett svensksprÄkigt gymnasium i Finland. Materialet samlades in genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna transkriberades och har dÀrefter analyserats med en tematisk analysmodell.
Resultat och slutsatser. Uppfattningarna om vad som möjliggör och utmanar en lyckad dubbelkarriÀr Àr entydiga. Studiens resultat bekrÀftar stödnÀtverkets roll, dock visar det sig att vissa personer anses ha en större betydelse Àn andra. Flexibla scheman och arrangemang visade sig Àven vara essentiellt för de idrottande ungdomarna. Vidare kan det Àven poÀngteras att faktorer som till exempel tillrÀckligt med sömn och nÀring, samt ett sunt förhÄllningssÀtt till bÄde idrott och studier kan inverka positivt pÄ dubbelkarriÀren. Vardagen
skiljer sig signifikant mellan idrottare och icke-idrottare och den största skillnaden Àr mÀngden skola för de tvÄ olika grupperna. DÀrtill gÄr det att konstatera att idrottselevernas rÀttigheter hjÀlper dem kombinera studier och idrott och utan dessa privilegier skulle skolgÄngen likna mer de icke-idrottarnas skolvardag. Resultaten pÄvisar ocksÄ att idrottseleverna upplever att vissa fÀrdigheter, som till exempel ansvarstagande och mental styrka, Àr grundlÀggande som bÄde idrottare och student
A thematic analysis of caregiversâ experiences on the digital communication with the class teacher
The digital communication between home and school has developed for a longer period besides the digitalization in our society. Studies have shown that the perception of digital communication related to school context varies and there is also an ongoing discussion about it in the media. The purpose of this study is to discover how caregivers experience the digital communication with the class teacher, and which tools are working well and not so well depending on different parts of the everyday school day.
This study was executed as a qualitative study and the data was collected through an electronic form. The form was answered by 19 caregivers with children in grades 1-6 in basic education. The analysis in this study was conducted as a thematic analysis.
Wilma and social media were used for digital communication between caregivers and class teachers. The digital communication tools were experienced as well functioning in informative occasions but not as well in situations that required a dialog. Lack of guidelines in the usage of digital communication tools were experienced to cause misunderstandings. Results in this study shows that awareness among caregivers and class teachers of how digital communication tools are used can conduct to a development of the digital communication to at best become an effective and smooth way to communicate. This benefits all partners. A well-reasoned usage of digital communication tools increases a feeling of participation and conducts to a feeling of welcomed in the school as a caregiver.Utvecklingen av den digitala kommunikationen mellan hem och skola har skett under en lÀngre tid vid sidan av digitaliseringen i vÄrt samhÀlle. Studier visar att uppfattningen av digital kommunikation i skolkontext Àr varierande och en diskussion kring det pÄgÄr Àven i medierna. Undersökningen gÄr ut pÄ att ta reda pÄ hur vÄrdnadshavare upplever den digitala kommunikationen med klasslÀraren gÀllande elevens skolvardag, samt vilka medel som fungerar bra eller mindre bra beroende pÄ olika delomrÄden inom skolvardagen.
Studien utfördes som en kvalitativ studie och materialet samlades in genom en elektronisk enkĂ€t. EnkĂ€ten besvarades av 19 vĂ„rdnadshavare med barn i Ă„rskurserna 1â6 inom den grundlĂ€ggande utbildningen. Studiens analys gjordes i form av en tematisk analys.
Wilma och sociala medier anvÀndes för digital kommunikation mellan vÄrdnadshavare och klasslÀraren. De digitala kommunikationsmedlen upplevdes fungera vid informerande tillfÀllen men i situationer dÀr en dialog krÀvdes lÀmpade de sig inte lika vÀl. Brister pÄ riktlinjer i anvÀndandet av de digitala kommunikationsmedlen upplevdes ofta leda till missförstÄnd. Resultaten i denna studie visar att medvetenheten hos vÄrdnadshavare och lÀrare om hur de digitala kommunikationsmedlen anvÀnds kan bidra till en utveckling av den digitala kommunikationen som i bÀsta fall blir ett effektivt och smidigt sÀtt att kommunicera pÄ. Det gynnar alla parter. Ett genomtÀnkt anvÀndande av digitala kommunikationsmedel ökar kÀnslan av delaktighet och bidrar till en kÀnsla av att som vÄrdnadshavare vara vÀlkommen i skolan
âBarnen talar tvĂ„ sprĂ„k och har tvĂ„ kulturerâ
Cooperation between school and home is one of the cornerstones in school policies in Sweden, as well as internationally. During the last decades, questions of parental influence and the freedom to choose schools have come to the fore. The importance of well-functioning cooperation between school and home, aiming to support school performance and improve the pupilsâ results, is another issue which has been stressed in policy, as well as in research. When implementing a major change, such as developing bilingual education, it is important to have the support and cooperation of the parents. In this paper the views of parents of pupils who received bilingual education in Arabic and Swedish are presented. Data was collected in questionnaires. In addition to information concerning the educational and linguistic background of the family, the parents gave their views on bilingual education in general, and on the bilingual education their children received, in particular. The parents appreciated the bilingual education and emphasized the importance of both mother tongue and Swedish for their children. They regarded bilingualism as an asset and wanted their children to become bilingual and bicultural
VÀlfÀrdsstaten i förÀndring. En fallstudie om lÀxhjÀlp.
In this essay, I have investigated if there has been any change in the welfare regime that hangs together with the help that companies and organizations offer pupils in doing their homework. Primarily, I have been using Esping-AndersenÂŽs classification of three different welfare regimes to understand how shifts and developments can occur within different welfare areas. Through interviews with organizations that offer help with homework, I have enriched a deeper understanding of how they organize their work in practice. The result of my analysis shows that there has been a clear shift in the welfare regime. A couple of years ago, the social democratic welfare regime was still dominating the help pupils got with their homework, and there was barely any company or organizations offering help with the homework. Therefore, the pupils were dependent of their school and parents if they needed any help. Today, the liberal welfare regime and the rules and values that comes with it, has taken over. This has led to a growing disparity and a greater place for the freedom of choice for the pupils
