Papporna och motiven : Den svenska föräldraledigheten i ett geografiskt perspektiv
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet var att undersöka attityder, beteendemönster och erfarenheter hos föräldrapar i två län, när det gäller uttag av föräldrapenning. I de ingående länen har Västerbotten det högsta och Skåne det lägsta uttaget av föräldrapenning bland fäder. Två kommuner med högt och lågt föräldrapenninguttag bland fäder studerades i respektive län, Umeå och Lycksele samt Lund och Tomelilla. Metodologin var inspirerad av grounded theory. Data omfattade 32 intervjuer med fäder och mödrar, 20 intervjuer med nyckelpersoner inom Försäkringskassan, mödravården, kommunen och företag samt statistik över kommunernas befolknings- och näringslivsstruktur. Intervjuerna genomfördes under 2008. Resultaten visar ett tydligare mönster av mer traditionell arbetsdelning av hushållssysslorna bland Skåne- jämfört med Västerbottensparen. Samma mönster gäller även vid jämförelse mellan kommunerna med lågt respektive högt uttag. En mer positiv attityd till föräldraförsäkringen finns i kommunerna med högt föräldrapenninguttag bland fäder jämfört med de med lågt uttag. En förklaring kan vara att förändringar tenderar att uppträda först i heterogena miljöer med en relativt ung och välutbildad befolkning där olika normsystem konkurrerar med varandra, vilket gäller Umeå och Lund. I Västerbotten har Försäkringskassan, landstinget och företag haft kampanjer för män under 1990-talet vilket sannolikt har bidragit positivt till fäders uttag. Fäder i de bägge länen uttrycker positiva upplevelser av att ha varit föräldralediga. Ett dominerande intryck är att arbetsgivarna har en tillåtande attityd till fäders önskan om att vara föräldralediga.

Parental leave in Sweden : Motives, perceptions and gender equality among parents
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper investigated Swedish parents’ motives for, experiences of and gender equality in relation to paid parental leave. The purpose was to explore similarities and differences in attitudes and experiences between parents in the two regions in Sweden with the largest difference in paid parental leave use among fathers. Data were drawn from interviews completed in 2008 with 16 heterosexual couples with a child born 2005 or 2006. The semi-structured interviews were analyzed according to grounded theory. In terms of experiences of the leave, a positive similarity in the study was that the couples described that they got to know the child better. Some negative similarities were that they felt they were alone and restricted. Primarily, the fathers in the northern part, focused on the lack of male networks. A traditional division of labor was a stronger pattern among couples in the southern region compared with the couples in the northern region. Tendencies are indicated towards an increased child-orientation, which could be connected with a change in hegemonic masculinity. In conclusion, the differences discovered between the four communities may to a great extent be depending on a cultural lag. This implied that change in values tend to take place first in social environments with multiple heterogeneous actors.

Parental leave in Sweden : Motives, experiences and gender equality among parents – focusing fathers

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose was to explore similarities and differences in motives, experiences and gender equality between parents in two municipalities (one smaller than the other) in each of the two counties in Sweden with the largest difference in paid parental leave use among fathers. Data were drawn from interviews in 2008 with 16 heterosexual couples with a child born 2005 or 2006. The semi-structured interviews were analyzed inspired by grounded theory. A positive similarity was that couples experienced that they got to know the child better. Negative similarities were that mothers and fathers occasionally felt alone and restricted, fathers emphasized lack of male networks. Traditional division of household labor is a stronger pattern among couples in the southern county compared with couples in the northern county. Tendencies are towards increased child-orientation among fathers, which could connect to change in hegemonic masculinity, not necessarily related to increased gender equality in household labor. Differences may depend on that changes in values tend to first occur in heterogeneous social environments, such as the larger municipalities. In the northern county, extensive campaigns have been held during the 1990s to encourage men’s use of paid parental leave, which may have contributed to regional difference.

Preschool teachers' view on learning in preschool in Sweden and Denmark
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to examine how preschool teachers in Sweden and Denmark perceive children's learning in preschool. The study aimed to answer the following questions: What is 'learning'? How do children learn? What are the best conditions for children's learning? What is the role of participation in children's learning? The results show that from the teacher's perspectives, children's learning is connected to children's social interaction and development in which the children's initiatives are crucial. Learning, to a great extent, results from children's active involvement. There are many similarities between how Danish and Swedish preschool teachers think of learning and participation. This supports earlier assumption about the coherence of Nordic preschool beliefs which unites education and care.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Swedish teacher education, all preschool teacher students have to include a school-based element and to take part in a local educational practice, in a preschool or in another form of educational setting, such as a preschool class or after-school recreation centre. In this study, we have asked a group of supervisors about their perception of the content in learning, knowledge development and supervision and also what is going on in learning and knowledge development situations in practice. The theoretical bases for our analysis are theories of interaction and intersubjectivity. The results show that the content of learning and knowledge development is highly integrated with the situation and practice. A preschool teacher student's learning is understood by the supervisors as something that occurs in interaction, where children and preschool teachers are of great importance. The content of learning is related to practical exercise, observation and reflection together with other preschool teachers. Trying new theories and being curious are also associated with learning.
