Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article focuses on the African-American painter Horace Pippin (1888-1946). By using a cultural sociologically informed approach it connects his life – how Pippin became an artist –and art – what his art can mean to us – with the aim of understanding how an art for art’s sake (konstens egenvärde) can be related to, yes, even make up the presupposition for, an art for art’s surplus value (konstens mervärde) concerning issues of race, politics, the arts and diversity. The guiding question is what we can learn from the African-American philosopher Cornell West’s analysis of the meaning of Pippin’s art, which in turn is deeply informed by the sociologist W.E.B Du Bois’ (1868-1963) concept of “double consciousness”; how Pippin paints an African-American everyday life beyond the white gaze. Through such an understanding of Pippin’s, in his own words, “art’s life history, that is my art”, the article also provides an idea of what art didactics might be.

- 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
- Research shows that the quality of the teacher-student relationship is crucial to students’ learning and development, especially for students in need of special support. In Scandinavia, the concept of relational competence is increasingly used to define a teacher’s ability to build supportive relationships. In this article, relational competence is discussed in the context of special education. The article investigates how relational competence is described in the curriculum for special education teacher training. Syllabuses (n = 142) at all Swedish universities that have programs in special education (n = 11) are included in the analysis, with a focus on the learning goals (n = 857). Content analysis provides both an overall and a more in-depth picture. The first study shows that there are relatively few learning goals relevant to relational competence. For example, the key concepts “relation,” “participation,” and “empathy” are very rarely used, and “care” and “trust” are completely absent. The second studyshows, among other findings, that relevant content mainly concerns the special educator as a qualified interlocutor vis-à-vis colleagues. Hardly any goals include teacher–student or teacher–parent relationships. On the whole, the results indicate that relational competence is a neglected topic in this discourse, and that it has a fairly narrow focus. The implications of this lack are discussed, and suggestions for improvement are added.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The interaction between the local place and reading practice is continuously emphasized in literacy research. Nevertheless, the significance of place has been neglected in research on working-class men’s relationship to reading. This study responds to this gap by examining working-class men from rural areas and their relationship to reading across a life span. Through life-story interviews with two working-class men in their 60s, living in the same rural woodland municipality, the article contributesto the understanding of the importance of reading in these men’s lives, and how their reader histories interact with distinctive features of the locality. The study shows that the men’s individual reader histories have been shaped by, and have shaped, the specific local and cultural contexts and surrounding discourses. Through their reading practices throughout their life courses, the men (re)construct rural working-class identities in which hunting, fishing, sports and cars constitute significant elements. However, other movements in the men’s reading practices related to place through which the men can pursue alternative masculine positions are also present. The study highlights the importance for educators to pay attention to place as a significant feature in understanding working-class males’ reading practices.

- Teaching is an ethical activity and in order to ensure a high quality in teaching, ethics need to be visualizedand verbalized. In a phenomenological empirical study with student teachers as participants, data wereanalyzed in order to express the essential meanings of professional ethics. The essence can be described asthe meanings that in spite of different contexts are relatively persistent. In phenomenology, the possibilityof expressing the essence of a phenomenon is interpreted in different ways. Inthis article, the author arguesthat the essence is needed to verbalize ethics in teaching tentatively as a kind of ethical code or guidelinefor becoming teachers. Some of the essentialfindingsstemmingfrom the empirical study mentioned abovearecomparedwith the ethical principles formulated inLäraresYrkesetiskaPrinciper(2001) by the two Swedishunions,LärarförbundetandLärarnas Riksförbund,to argue for the importance of formulating the essence.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores the possibilities of combining literary and linguistic text analyses: a double perspective on the teacher education for lower secondary school. The aim is to analyze how two students, in a course in text analysis, solve an examination assignment where they are asked to combine literary and linguistic tools in their analysis of Pär Lagerkvist's short story "Father and I" (1924). We ask the following questions: How do students use literary and linguistic tools in the analysis of Lagerkvist's work and how do they combine these tools? What kind of didactic potentials do students see in a double perspective? The result shows both similarities and differences in how the students combine linguistic and literary tools and how they underpin the analysis. The students’ meta-reflections indicate that such double perspective provides a deeper understanding of literary texts containing both literary and linguistic resources. Our conclusion is that the double perspective may provide a powerful theoretical and didactic tool for students of the Swedish language at the teacher education for lower secondary school.

What Are Literary Studies For? : A Review of English Teacher Education in Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present article addresses the nature and purposes of literary studies in secondary and upper secondary English teacher education programmes in Sweden. It is based on a study of syllabi from all programmes nationally and for the academic year 2017-2018. The article maps the goals formulated for literary studies as well as the literary and disciplinary repertoires foregrounded in these documents, and so provides a snapshot of the kinds of literary studies that student teachers of English had access to. It situates literary studies in the context of steering documents for English teacher education, and it shows that, whilst literary studies were a given part of English teacher education in the studied period, they relied on a narrow conception of the discipline. Literary studies mainly attended to twentieth and twenty-first century prose fiction and regarded literature primarily as a source of worldly knowledge. Indeed, the repertoires mediated seemed based on their potential to cover curricular ground in relation to steering documents for Swedish schools. Given the relative freedom institutions had to define the subject-specific content of teacher education, the results prompt a discussion about the knowledge repertoires that student teachers need as part of their higher education and as preparation for professional practice.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article reports the results of an empirical investigation into movement viewed as a quality of an aesthetic working process. Any process presupposes movement - there is no process if one stands still. At times, movement is deliberately provoked by artists wanting to view their work from a different perspective. This was the approach applied in the first-year course of an art teacher’s program in Sweden, where movement was provoked through shifts of media (cardboard, sketching, Minecraft) during a four-week working process. The assignment was to work with a 3D shape through these media. The students' process journals (containing writings and photography) constitute the material for the study. The results are visualized on an individual level as movement patterns and five characteristic patterns are discerned. Movement within and between media are visualized collectively, showing not only how media shifts stimulate movement but also how the students themselves can provoke movement within a medium. Sketching shows the most movement, typically triggered by the students themselves when they get bored by the repetitiveness of multiple sketching. Minecraft encourages the least amount of movement, which is discussed in relation to preconceptions embedded in the software design. The study relates to a phenomenographic approach.
