Varför har dom ingen tvättmaskin? : Critical literacy hos elever årskurs 2 och 3

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vilka möjligheter finns för unga elever i skolår 2 och 3 att utveckla ett critical literacy-perspektiv utifrån den undervisning de deltar i och de texter de möter? Texter är inte bara skriven text utan text kan vara en bild, en film, ett inlägg på Instagram eller ett musikstycke som ska tolkas. Förståelsen av begreppet läskunnighet behöver därför vidgas eftersom eleven, förutom att läsa och skriva skriven text, också måste kunna tolka, reflektera över, kritiskt granska och skapa mening ur olika typer av källor. En sådan undervisning bidrar också till elevers utveckling till demokratiska medborgare, vilket också är ett övergripande mål i skolans styrdokument.I föreliggande licentiatuppsats undersöks möjligheterna för unga elever i skolår 2 och 3 att utveckla ett critical literacy-perspektiv utifrån den undervisning de deltar i. Syftet är att belysa om och i så fall hur undervisning i årskurs 2 och 3 skapar förutsättningar för elever att utveckla critical literacy. De kunskaperna behövs även för att kunna agera aktivt som samhällsmedborgare. Att kunna läsa och förstå texter ur olika perspektiv, att förstå att texter kan utesluta eller skapa fördelar för olika individer och att texter positionerar läsaren är en del av vad critical literacy handlar om. En teoretisk utgångspunkt för denna studie är därmed att elever, genom att läsa och arbeta med texter ur ett critical literacy-perspektiv, ges verktyg att bearbeta och tolka olika texter och skapa en förståelse för hur olika texter påverkar människor. Studien fokuserar på elevers respons i undervisning och datamaterial har samlats in i en klass med 20 elever under deras tid i klass 2 och 3 och består av klassrumsobservationer och intervjuer. Vid analys av materialet har Janks (2010) fyra begrepp, domination, access, diversity och design, använts för att analysera elevernas respons relaterat till olika textaktiviteter. Resultatet visar att elever, utan någon speciell undervisning om critical literacy, i sina diskussioner, framför allt i samhälls- och naturvetenskapliga ämnen, uppmärksammar vilka som dominerar i texter och varför vissa människor framstår som viktigare än andra. En slutsats är att unga elever både kan och vill diskutera svåra frågor om förutsättningar ges. När undervisningen har ett critical literacyperspektiv ges eleverna möjlighet att upptäcka och möjligen också bättre förstå sin omvärld. Genom sina egna erfarenheter kan eleverna inte bara visa medvetenhet om människor olika villkor utan också bidra med alternativ till förändring.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Keywords: Teachers´ leadership, parents-teachers ‘conference, primary school, didactic, hermeneutic, lifeworld phenomenologyThis thesis aims to explain what importance teachers´ leadership is given and how teachers' leadership appears in the parents-teacher conferences. The theoretical frame is lifeworld phenomenology, which means that the world is a social, intersubjective, and historical world where people experience, act, and intertwine in a private and a shared world. The study is inspired by a lifeworld approach and the data was analyzed to consider people's context, their experiences and the challenges involved in leading parent-teacher conferences. The empirical work is based on observations of parent-teacher conferences and interviews with teachers and students. The analyses are made with the support of the life-world phenomenological concepts of hållning, seeing-as and pedagogical tact. The concept hållning has a duality and loses its meaning in translation. Hållning means a bodily approach and is an intertwining between the teacher's attitude and her body posture. All three concepts include verbal and bodily communicative expressions and sensitive and intuitive actions, their meanings will be highlighted and explained. The results show that teachers' leadership in parent-teacher conferences includes both preparatory and subsequent work and forms part of the teaching. Leadership both shapes the parent-teacher conference and is shaped in the same and given importance when teachers show consideration for the student, the relationship between teacher and student and the situation, balance challenges with time and sensitive topics, choose to take notes in the parent-teacher conferences in favor of presence in the conversation itself and document afterwards. Teachers' leadership in parent-teacher conferences shape the conversation through teachers' willingness to involve the students, flexibility, and ability to structure. Teachers' leadership in parent-teacher conferences are shaped by teachers' responsiveness, compliance, presence, attention, ability to improvise and playfulness.The study's life-world phenomenological approach has made it possible to see that the parent-teacher conference requires a didactic knowledge related to the student as a person, to the content and to the structure that surrounds the conversation. This has been made visible in teachers' intuitive actions and bodily expressions as well as unreflected and reflected experiences. The study's starting points have made it possible to broaden the didactic understanding of the teachers' leadership in parent-teacher conferences by highlighting the clear intertwining of these conferences with other teaching

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study aims to gain deeper insights in digital technology supported teaching in Swedish early childhood education (ECE) settings. Introduction of digital goals in Swedish ECE curriculum obliges preschool teachers to integrate digital technologies into educational practices and calls for a relevant definition and a defined content for this teaching area. By examining teachers’ perspectives, this thesis contributes to obtaining valuable experience-based knowledge that can eventually fill the existing research gap. In a curriculum context, digital technologies have traditionally been associated with technology as a teaching tool, while digital goals (i.e., training children’s digital competence) redefine technology as a teaching content. However, integrating digital technologies in educational practices is still reported to be a challenge, and preschool teachers demonstrate ambivalent attitudes towards use of digital technologies in play-based pedagogy. Previous research has shown that to embed technologies in preschool practices, teachers need to enhance their technological knowledge, which involves a complex coupling between technical knowledge and pedagogical expertise.In the study, eleven preschool teachers were interviewed. A phenomenographic approach was used to identify and analyze the teachers’ conceptions. As a result, several categories related to digital technology use were discerned in teachers’ descriptions. Teaching situations were identified within both planned and spontaneous activities whilst activities for entertainment, relaxation and staff relief were referred to as mere “media consumption”. Paradoxically, nearly all teachers define digital technology supported teaching as a goal-directed, planned and adult-led activity. However, plenty of examples given by the teachers show that situations originating from spontaneous use of digital technology, particularly tablets, play an essential role in everyday teaching practices. Such a rigid understanding of the teaching concept on a definition level may have a counterproductive effect on ECE task with a traditional focus on child-initiated, spontaneous activities. Other findings show that various combinations of hard- and software (apps) may offer teachers multiple teaching options. However, lack of time and technical knowledge in one group of teachers is reported to lead to a scarce use of technologies. In most examples, digital technology is described as a teaching tool for training language, science, mathematics, or arts, while technology as a content is seen as a challenging task and focuses mainly on introducing programmable toys. The teachers describe several examples where technology does not align with their didactic intentions. However, tablet with Google Search is the technology that demonstrates both frequent and organic use. Providing immediate answers on the screen, tablets enable to capture children’s spontaneous questions and, at the same time, support teachers’ educational goals. The preschool teachers’ critical observations and didactic value judgements can contribute with a more nuanced view on what a particular digital technology makes possible in a certain teaching situation. Key words: early childhood education (ECE), preschool, digital technology supported teaching, digital competence, tablet, phenomenography, teachers’ beliefs.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of the study is to examine and analyse teachers’ and their principal’s experiences of receiving a group of newly arrived students at a newly diverse school, in order to highlight how this impacts professional practice and what is important to take into account when receiving and teaching newly arrived students. The study is based on experiences from a research-and development program, with additional data gathered from semi-structured interviews with eight teachers and a principal at a rural school. The theoretical point of departure is Wenger’s (1998) theory on communities of practice and legitimate peripheral participation. The results show that the teachers were not prepared for the sudden change in the practice, and that the teachers’ were frustrated with being limited as professionals. The change wasn’t merely a change in student demographics but a significant change in the community or practice. Analytically, we understand this as being moved to the outer edge, from being central participants in the practice. The result shows that such a change requires focus on preparations and structures for reflection and support, so that teachers are able to again become competent actors and develop their teaching, in relation to newly arrived students.
