"De är som en handbok i kommunikation" : Utvärdering av Skol- och Familjeteamet i Sollentuna
- 2008
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Det övergripande syftet med utvärderingen har varit att undersöka effekterna av Skol- och Familjeteamets arbete utifrån de idéer och långsiktiga målsättningar som var bakgrunden till att verksamheten startade för sju år sedan. Utvärderingen har därmed syftat till att undersöka huruvida Skol- och Familjeteamet (SFT) har bidragit till att elever med psykosocial problematik i högre utsträckning kan ges adekvat stöd inom ordinarie skola och klass, om de har bidragit till ett minskat tryck på socialtjänstens myndighetsutövning, samt om de samverkar med skolan utan att ta över elevvårdens ansvar. För att besvara utvärderingens frågor har en kombination av kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder använts. Utvärderingens resultat tyder på att SFT bidrar till att elever med psykosociala och/eller beteenderelaterade problem i större utsträckning kan ges ett bättre stöd inom ramen för ordinarie skola och klass. Föräldrar och skolpersonal som har intervjuats om sina erfarenheter av insatser från SFT anser att insatserna minskat barnets problem i skolan och att de lett till ett bättre samarbete mellan hem och skola. Resultat tyder dock inte på att SFT hittills har haft någon betydelse för i vilken omfattning skolor anmäler oro för barn till socialtjänsten eller för hur stor andel elever som beviljas placering i särskilda resursskolor. Då vi inte kan veta hur det skulle ha sett ut om inte SFT funnits, kan vi dock inte med säkerhet uttala oss om effekterna i detta avseende. SFT tycks däremot i olika avseenden ha bidragit till att ’smörja’ samarbetet mellan skola och socialtjänst och avlasta dessa parter på andra sätt. SFT utgör ett mellanled där en anmälan till socialtjänsten inte anses befogad men det ändå finns en oro kring en elev/familj. Genom sin position och inriktning blir SFT ett alternativt och ”ofarligt” stöd att erbjuda föräldrar, samtidigt som skolan får del av insatsen. Det framkommer dock behov av mer tydlighet och kontakt beträffande relationen och kommunikationen mellan SFT och socialtjänstens Barn- och ungdomsenhet. Utvärderingen tyder överlag på att det råder en relativ konsensus mellan skola och SFT kring deras överlappande verksamhetsdomäner och att detta kan förstås som resultatet av ett lyckat integrationsarbete mellan skola och socialtjänst. SFT uppfattas som en neutral part i samarbetet mellan skola och hem och bistår även med en slags teknologi för detta samarbete.

Elevvård i grundskolan : Resurser, organisering och praktik
- 2007
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the thesis is to describe and analyse the organization, resources and practice of pupil welfare work in municipal compulsory schools. In one study, telephone interviews with head masters from a random sample of 100 municipal compulsory schools have been carried out. A second study is based on material from two case studies, where the work of the pupil welfare team members and the everyday organizing of pupil welfare, are scrutinized.The distribution of special pupil welfare resources varied considerably. Almost one-third of the variation could be explained by organizational and structural variables included in a regression analysis. Practically all schools in the sample had a school nurse, while school social workers and in particular school psychologists, were available to a lesser extent. Regarding the latter two professions, the results indicate that these resources are allocated to pupils of different age groups. The involvement of different kinds of municipal service in pupil welfare work is becoming a common form of organization. The case studies show that these service units can become influential actors in the organizing of local pupil welfare work.School nurses appear to be an institutionalized resource, with regard to their presence in schools and the content of their work. The school social worker lacks a specific technology of her own that distinguishes her work from other professions. School social work is performed by several professions and for some tasks domain conflicts can arouse. These conflicts can to a certain degree be rooted in the enhanced consultative role of the pupil welfare specialists, which affects the division of labour between the actors. The pupil welfare meetings studied in the case studies where characterized by asymmetrical relationships, where little space were given for pupils and their parents to be actively involved in the decision-making process.

Secondary school students’ perspectives on supports for overcoming school attendance problems : a qualitative case study in Germany
- 2024

Ingår i: Frontiers in Education. - 2504-284X. ; 9

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: School attendance problems (SAPs) affect both the education and development of young learners. There is a need to better understand what supports are needed to overcome and prevent SAPs from students’ perspectives. The aim of the current study is to explore students’ perspectives on what challenges they faced, and what they perceived as helpful in overcoming attendance challenges on their pathways towards completing their education.Method: We conducted interviews with students (n = 9) in a local comprehensive school (Stadtteilschule) in the city-state Hamburg in Germany. Students were in their final year before obtaining a certificate that qualifies them for possible admission to post-secondary education. Data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results: Findings show that students experienced complex challenges to school attendance that were associated with emotional distress, negative school experiences, and reduced well-being. Our findings point to common protective mechanisms in students’ perceptions of what helped them overcome SAPs. The key drivers of school attendance are located within students and their social contexts, including personal resilience, supportive relationships at school, and the social environment.Discussion: Based on students’ views, we present a model that illustrates the interconnectedness of perceived challenges and supports in the function of risk and protective factors moving across ecological systems in the development of SAPs. We highlight how these areas can guide prevention and intervention to support students in successfully completing their education and transitioning into multiple post-secondary pathways.

School absenteeism among students in Germany, Japan, Sweden, and the United Kingdom: : A comparative study using PISA data
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Comparative and International Education (NJCIE). - 2535-4051. ; 7:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- School absenteeism is a challenge in many countries. Still, there are few comparisons between countries, which is partly due to a lack of shared definitions of concepts. This article makes use of PISA data to compare self-reported student absenteeism in Germany, Japan, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (UK). Three data sets are used, from 2012, 2015, and 2018. The self-reported absenteeism, which is referred to as truancy in the PISA studies, was measured as having skipped a whole school day at least once in the two full weeks before students completed the PISA student questionnaire.The results show great variation between the studied countries, from 24.4% in the UK in 2015 to 1.5% in Japan in 2012. The percentage of students who reported having skipped school is much higher in the UK than in the other three countries. The differences between the countries concerning the percentage of students reporting having been absent from school are significant for all years, except between Sweden and Germany in 2015. Germany and the UK have a similar pattern in development, with the highest percentages in 2015, while Sweden and Japan have small (albeit not significant) increases from 2012 to 2018. The UK is the only country where the changes between 2012 and 2015 as well as between 2015 and 2018 were significant.It is not possible to see any obvious patterns between the countries that might be linked to differences related to their welfare regimes, education systems, or values. To find such patterns, it may be necessary either to include more countries in a study or to conduct more in-depth studies on each country.

Which students skip school? A comparative study of sociodemographic factors and student absenteeism using PISA data
- 2024

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores which students–with regard to gender, socio-economic background and migration background–skip school in Germany, Japan, Sweden and the United Kingdom (UK) according to PISA data. Students who skip school are observed in many countries, but there is not much systematic research that studies this across countries. Comparable data is to a large extent missing. PISA data offers an opportunity to use comparable data. In PISA, students were asked in 2018, 2015 and 2012 whether they had skipped school a whole day in the last two weeks prior to their completion of the PISA student questionnaire. Patterns of how absence relates to sociodemographic factors vary in countries and school systems. In the comparison between the four countries the UK stands out as having a higher percentage of students who have reported that they have skipped school than in the other countries. This does not seem to be related to any specific group of students. Japan also stands out with a lower percentage of students who have reported that they have skipped school. According to PISA data, skipping school is more related to socio-economic background than any other of the variables studied. The socio-economic background seems to be related to skipping school in all three PISA studies in Sweden and the UK. Gender seems not to be an important factor in the four countries. In Sweden and Germany there is a lower percentage of non-immigrant students who report that they have skipped school than first-and second-generation immigrant students. In the UK the figures are more ambiguous. When the percentages of students skipping school are compared over time and in the countries, it is difficult to find any trends, but the data only covered three measurements during a period of six years, which may be too short a time span to see trends.
