Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article presents the results of an educational development project conducted from 2017-2018. The aim of the project was to identify common subject-specific concepts of quality regarding stage performance, with a focus on ability to perform dramatic text. Student assignments in the form of stage performance were video recorded. Thereafter, the documentation was examined and discussed by a team of teachers. Audio recordings from the discussions were analysed using phenomenography. The results are presented in four qualitatively different categories of descriptions and in aspects of the different ways of knowing involved in the phenomenon. In this article, it is argued that this kind of research is essential for designing and developing teaching instructions, giving competent feed-back, and efficiently assessing and grading the students’ work. Moreover, it is argued that being able to identify such quality differences of stage performances is also essential for the student in the future work as an upper secondary school teacher.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- School segregation has increased in Sweden during the last decades, and students from socio-economically disadvantaged groups ended up in schools with economic challenges as well as overall low goal achievement. The aim of this study is to illuminate how students in urban disadvantaged neighbourhoods relate to school. With an ethnographic approach, the study draws on fieldwork conducted in a junior high school, grade seven, using a combination of theories from Foucault and Goffman as theoretical frame for the analysis. The results indicate that the often described conflict between school and students from disadvantaged groups does not have to always occur. Teachers can use humour and youth culture to prevent the conflict to manifest. However, the central aspect of how students relate to school is the perceived position of disadvantage. Both school achievement and oppositional behaviour against school rules function as ways for students to distance themselves from this position. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of teachers to counteract the conflict – a form of support – enabling students from disadvantaged groups to succeed in school and thus securing the opportunity for a more prosperous future.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- 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 ‘the terrors of performativity’ according to Ball (2003) commercial agents have gained influence over practices of assessment and documentation within the education system. Increased demands on pupils’ and parents’ 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 Bernstein’s (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.

"När han är arg är han turkisk". Identitetsskapande i Lin Hallbergs kompisbokstrilogi

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- With a background in current theories of identification and identifying processes, our aim is to study how ideologies of identity interpellate children in narrative texts such as Lin Hallberg’s trilogy of Kompisboken, Bästisboken and Svikarboken. We study how the texts offer, mirror and perform various identities in their characterization of children and adults in a multicultural context. The issue is how the different characters are created through chains of articulation, of equivalence and difference, of properties, actions and performances. The four main child characters are construed around two dyads – male and female, native and foreign – and as well as the minor characters – parents and teachers – they display subject positions which are restricted and basically locked in a normative matrix. Thus, these texts do not afford children alternative identity constructions or resistance to stereotypical identities of gender or ethnicity.

Beläggsmodellen i svenska nationella prov: Exemplet Religionskunskap årskurs 9

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the Swedish national tests, the so-called “Beläggsmodell” has been used to generate test grades in seven school subjects. This article examines the origin and effects of the “Beläggsmodell” on test scores in one of these subjects, religious studies. Classical methods for evaluating the quality of tests are used in combination with confirmatory factor analysis. The results show that the tests have a reliability above 0.92 and that the “Beläggsmodell” reduces this in unpredictable ways for individual students. Confirmatory factor analysis shows that the tests are mainly one-dimensional, which has the consequence that the “Beläggsmodell” does not fulfil any summative function. Instead, it has major consequences for individual students’ test grades. There are examples of students who at the same total score on the test receive everything from D to A as a test grade. The large differences arise through differences in performance on a very small number of items. If, instead, the total sum is used as a basis for generating test grades, the possibilities for fair and equivalent test grades increase, as shown by examples. Responsible authorities should and, as announced, will switch to a system where the total sum points are the basis for the test grades.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the spring of 2013 national tests in biology, physics and chemistry in grade 6 were implemented for the first time in Sweden. Data collected in connection to the tests are used to analyse student performance at different levels. This paper reports on differences in performance in biology, physics and chemistry between teaching groups, as well as differences in results related to gender and Swedish / Swedish as a second language. Comparisons are also made with results from TIMSS 2011, which tested the same group of students. Analyses were carried out with the aim to discuss equity in science education in Swedish schools. Overall, the results indicate that differences in student performance related to teaching group have increased since 2011 and that differences depending on the linguistic background are considerable. Additionally, girls perform better than boys in all science subjects. All these differences are large enough to be paid attention to on political levels and by principals and teachers. Both overall structural changes and changes in teaching and learning activities in schools are needed to increase equity in science education.

A Culturally Relevant Education? Analysing “Swedish Values”in Civic Orientation for Newly Arrived Migrants
- 2024

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article contributes to ongoing discussions on education for migrants as a form of integration policy and practice. It does so by investigating whether the initiative Civic Orientation for Newly Arrived Migrants in Sweden constitutes an example of culturally relevant education. Drawing on a mixed-method and multi-level analysis, we hone in on “values” as a discursive construction in order to see how particular principles are linked to Swedishness. Specifically, we show how values are discursively constructed on multiple levels through 1) a qualitative analysis of policy documents instrumental to the implementation of civic orientation; 2) a quantitative corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis of media articles; 3) individual interviews with 14 persons involved in organizing the civic orientation courses; and 4) ethnographic classroom observations from six such courses. Our results show how, on the one hand, Sweden is constructed as the most developed country in the world in terms of values and, on the other hand, migrants are portrayed as antithetical to such an ideal imagination. Furthermore, we show how a specific set of values – human rights and democracy – changes meaning from being universal to becoming particularized and nationalized as “Swedish”.

Japansk populärkultur bland unga i svensk kontext: Lolitastilen som förhandling om ålder och genus

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An increasing interest in Eastern Asian popular culture can be discerned among Swedish youth. When cultural elements are used in new contexts, meanings are partly transformed and reenacted in new ways. This article explores how the Japanese fashion style Lolita is negotiated in a Swedish context. The data are based on observations and interviews at Swedish conventions for Eastern Asian popular culture, and a group interview with five teenagers using Lolita style. For analysis, we use concepts relating to age, gender and gaze. The re-sults show that Lolita style offers possibilities for the young people in our study, female as well as male, to explore a certain form of feminine girlishness. How-ever, this process involves negotiation about age, gender and bodies in public spaces, and by its use of childish femininity, the Lolita style seen through a spectator’s gaze may generate ridicule. Its radicality and provocation seem to lie in the way Lolitas challenge norms about gender, age and expectations about “growing up”.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- By focusing on dance and on the voice as a music instrument, and applying a gender perspective, this article problematizes constructions of dance and music education – arenas where girls and women are in the majority. The result is based on the meta-analysis of a common issue found in four qualitative studies, three conducted at the aesthetic programs at upper-secondary schools in Sweden and one conducted in higher music education. The studies were produced through participatory observation, video-documented teaching situations, discussions with teachers about critical incidents, focus group discussions and group interviews. The meta-analysis shows that dance and vocal studies’ have similar subject constructions based on the traditions and conventions of the performing arts. Furthermore, the result points to the need to highlight how the body, the gaze, and the place are constructed in teaching and learning to clarify what norms and values surround the subjects. The article contributes to the discussion of how quality is understood in dance and music education and increases the knowledge of widening participation in these subjects.
