- PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore what conversation analysis has to offer when analysing a series of life story interviews aiming to capture how reading and texts are used in a rural working-class man’s identity construction.Design/methodology/approachThe conversation analysis methodology with its explicit focus on embodied social action, activity and conduct in interaction is integrated with a life story approach when analysing and describing the identity constructing processes that take place in life story interview settings.FindingsThrough a close and detailed analysis of the interaction between interviewer and interviewee, and by focusing and highlighting the phenomena and identities that are oriented to in the face-to-face interaction here and now (and in relation to there and then), descriptions of the complex and dynamic identity constructing processes that are set into play in the life story interview are possible.Research limitations/implicationsIt is argued that the approach has a lot to offer when approaching life story data, and thus is a method that can increase the transparency in life story interview research.Originality/valueThe paper explores the intersection of what is often seen as diametrically opposed forms of analysis: conversation analysis and narrative inquiry.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article aims to show how boys in a vehicle engineering programme at an upper secondary school in Sweden use their reading and literature discussion in their identity construction and how the classroom is converted into a place where the boys create the social space that they are a part of. This article is written in the intersections between different disciplines, research fields, and theoretical and methodological perspectives, and it is argued that this approach makes it possible to exceed each respective limitation and present a more nuanced and far-reaching discussion about how children use literature discussions in the construction of identity and place.

"One song away from being home" : om boksamlande, läsning och Johnny Cash. Sidospår, eller…?
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I den här texten studeras erfarenheter av läsning och texter i relation till boksamlande. Niklas, en ung man i 25-års åldern, och hans pappa, intervjuas på plats bland alla böcker och föremål som de samlat, såväl hemma hos Niklas pappa som hemma hos Niklas. Utgångspunkten för texten är en livsberättelseansats som sätter den berättande människan i centrum.Böckerna framstår i våra samtal som först och främst artefakter med estetiska, ekonomiska och gemenskapsskapande värden. De ska sorteras och kategoriseras efter bl.a. genre för att sedan sättas upp snyggt och prydligt i bokhyllor. Detta kroppsliga hanterande av böcker är något som också sker socialt och tillsammans med andra och kan ses som handlingar genom vilka den specifika sociala och kulturella kontext i vilken de lever och verkar i bevaras och reproduceras.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- AbstractIntresset i den här artikeln riktas mot Niklas[1] - en ung, manlig grävmaskinist, boendes i en landsbygdsort i mellersta Sverige – och hans läsarhistoria. Utifrån en livsberättelseansats har Niklas berättelse och reflektioner över sina erfarenheter av läsning studerats. Utgångspunkten är ett förhållningssätt genom vilket vi lyfter fram Niklas läsarhistoria utifrån hans eget perspektiv och där vi försöker förstå hur de specifika lokala och kulturella kontexter mot vilka Niklas läsarhistoria samspelar och samverkar är verksamma.

The Book and the Text : Expanding the definition of a male reader
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Book And The Text - Expanding The Definition Of A Male ReaderBoys’ relation to reading has been debated for a long time. Numerous international studies bear witness to an existing gender gap in children’s reading; boys read worse and to a smaller extent than before, and they read less than girls and lag behind in literacy skills (Clark & Burke, 2012; Gambell & Hunter, 2000). If one considers the situation from a class perspective the situation of boys with working-class background is described as particularly problematic, since extensive research indicates that there exists a particularly poor reading proficiency among socio-economically disadvantaged boys. In many of the studies there are also often expressed a concern for these boys’ future, since without the ability to read well, they are risking to lose access to higher education and future careers.Despite the extensive research that exists on boys’ relationship to reading, we have currently still rather limited knowledge about the role and importance reading has in the lives of young men and what experiences they carry out from the reading they have been taught as students in school.In our presentation, and, from a longitudinal perspective with the aim of focusing our attention on one of the many working-class boys who has walked through the school system as a student, our intention is to be conducive to new knowledge in the field, and also to modulate the negative image of young working-class boys’ future opportunities that is conveyed.At the center of our presentation is Niklas - a young male excavator, who lives in a rural village in the central parts of Sweden, and our purpose is to present a picture of his reader history, i.e. the journey he has made in his life as a reader of various kinds of texts. Niklas’s reader history is part of a larger research project where we are using a combination of different methodological and theoretical perspectives in the study of young men’s reader histories.Through a life story approach (Mishler, 1999; Goodson & Sikes 2001), we will in our presentation let Niklas’s story form the basis of our understanding of the phenomena he chooses to talk about, which among other things means that we will use a broader concept of text in our analysis of Niklas’s reader history.The narrative reflections (Freeman, 2010) that are expressed in Niklas’s narrative of his journey through life as a reader, and the different reader identities that emerge through his own narrative, forms to us his reader history. This reader history has obviously not occurred in a vacuum, but it has been shaped by, and has shaped, the social and cultural environments in which it took place, which is why we also have the intention of highlighting the specific contexts against which Niklas’s reader history interact. Given that social categories, such as gender, class and place are important for students’ school careers, we believe that it is important to study how these categories interact and cooperate in Niklas’s story about his experience of reading. Here, Massey’s work (2005) on place as a social construction, and her emphasis on the mutual relationship between place and identity, Connell’s work (2005) on the construction of masculinity, and the class perspective developed by Bourdieu (1984) are important points of departure in our analysis.MethodWe will tell Niklas’s story by using an approach through which the narrator is at the center of attraction. Thusly, our study has a longitudinal research design (Goodson & Sikes, 2001). The longitudinal design can help us get sight of how Niklas’s relationship to and experience of reading has been shaped, changed and evolved over time. This approach means that it is Niklas’s story that will be brought into focus. At the same time, this personal story shall be put into perspective by relating it to the specific social, cultural and historical circumstances in which what is told takes place (Goodson & Sikes, 2001; Mishler, 1999) why even such empirical data in the form of, for example, documents, theories, texts and physical locations and buildings will be used in our analysis. The reader history to which our interest is directed during our presentation is based on two life story interviews (see Goodson & Sikes, 2001) conducted with Niklas, today a 25-year-old young man, in the summer of 2013. The interviews took place in Niklas’s home and lasted for a total of three hours. Niklas’s story is based on empirical data gathered from a previous research project about a group of vehicle engineering boys’ encounter with the teaching of Swedish at an upper secondary school in a rural place in central Sweden, a project in which Niklas attended as a vehicle engineering student (Asplund & Pérez Prieto, 2013). These extensive empirical data, which consist of videotaped lessons, interviews, surveys and documentation of the boys’ self-produced written texts related to their Swedish classes, among other things, combined with life story interviews, allow us to deepen and modulate our analysis and presentation of Niklas’s reader history.Expected OutcomesIn the reader history that emerges through Niklas’s narrative, there are more ways to interact with books and texts than the more conventional ways. For instance, Niklas tells us how he helped his father to collect, sort out and sell old books, which to Niklas becomes a way to interact with books, and the interaction that Niklas is talking about has its meaning and significance in the specific context in which it takes place. This concrete and embodied interaction is also significant of Niklas’s relation to reading and books, and it is therefore also an important part of his reader history. Thus, the approach used in our study makes it possible to identify and highlight other, less common ways to interact with books, which also allows a more complex and nuanced story about a young man’s relation to reading.ReferencesAsplund, S-B.and Pérez Prieto, H.

Young working-class men do not read: or do they? : Challenging the dominant discourse of reading
- 2018

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the majority of the research on boys’ and young men’s relation to reading, it is argued that boys and young men read too little, read poorly and in all the wrong ways. However, few studies focus on how boys and young men read the texts they do encounter. In particular, there is a lack of research on young men of workingclass background, whose relationship to reading is stressed as particularly problematic in many studies. In this article, we approach the reader histories of three young working-class men from a life story perspective, on the basis of a broad definition of text and reading, to capture how reading and texts are used in their identity construction. Our analysis shows that the young men engage in reading in different ways, from listening to audio books and reading aloud to watching films. We argue that our approach makes it possible to re-envision working-class men as readers who, among other things, use reading to construct softer masculinities, thus challenging the dominant narrative of workingclass masculinity and working-class men’s relationship to reading and texts.

Skolan som demokratiprojekt : En poststrukturell diskursanalys av demokratiuppdrag och lärarsubjekt
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Based on a poststructural discourse-theoretical perspective, the aim of this thesis is to critically examine the construction of the Swedish compulsory school’s democratic education and its consequences for the teacher subject, in educational policy texts. Set against the backdrop of what is commonly referred to as a crisis of democracy, the study takes its point of departure in changes in educational politics in recent decades and the new national curriculum for the compulsory school in 2011.The thesis uses the poststructural discourse-theory of the political philosophers Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe as its theoretical and methodological framework. Their main objective has been to revive socialist politics by suggesting a radical, plural democracy as an alternative for a new left.A number of national policy texts were chosen for the analysis. The selection covers official reports and government bills on the Education Act and on the Teacher Education Reform Act, the Education Act, the National Curriculum and a selection of documents from the Swedish National Agency for Education, ranging from 2008 to 2018.The main results show that democratic education rests on a notion of the democratic society which creates relations between a democratic universalism based on individual rights and an unspoken national homogeneity. Democratic education is constructed as a broad and complex task aiming at the fostering of democratic competence, assuring equivalent education and counteracting abusive behaviour. The impact of neoliberal policy and new public management philosophy is evident in the empirical material analysed.The study concludes that democratic education is constructed as part of a management perspective where democracy becomes the means of achieving a goal – the governed subject – which relates to pupils and teachers alike. In addition, the focus on consensus and rational thinking as well as the tendency to locate conflict resolution in the legal sphere contribute to the notion of a school free from abuse.

Inclusion and democratization in Nordic basic schools of the 1970’s with a life history approach
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents a subproject that aims to examine inclusion and democratization in Nordic basic schools by adopting a life history approach. The focus is on the students of the 70’s and their narratives about school experiences as they talk about their memories and experiences from the standpoint of the present. We ask how the basic school spaces provided opportunities for pupils to engage in social relations with peers with diverse social backgrounds, and what the perceived long-term implications are of the relations established in school.The theoretical framework of this study is grounded on the concepts of space, place and time, seeking analytical connections between physical objects, narrated experiences, bodies and places. Informed by Doreen Massey’s (2005) notion of throwntogetherness, we aim to describe the plurality of individual trajectories that come together in the construction of the school as a social and physical space. This enables us to explore how the different social backgrounds of pupils have merged in the construction of schools as meeting places in the past and how these encounters have further influenced the lives of the previous pupils.Methodologically, this study sets out from interviews of informants who attended the partner schools of this project in the 70’s. The interviews include elements of walk-along interviews where informants are encouraged to interact with objects and photos that can set into play storytelling that informs the analysis of social relations, interactions, and material, cultural and historical constructions in which the life story is embedded. The interviews will be conducted in and near the school buildings and in the informants’ present homes or other places of their preference. 8-12 informants will be recruited and interviewed 2-3 times each. First interviews are carried out in Sweden and Finland in the fall 2022 and the spring 2023. The interviews will be analyzed in a framework of narrative analysis with a life history approach.The life history approach will give access to the narrated memories and experiences of the school as a meeting place, the opportunities it provided to the informants and the difficulties they encountered. It also contributes with knowledge of what these lived experiences of the social relations established in the local school as a meeting place with its specific architectural divisions and spatial arrangements have meant for the students of the 70’s across the lifespan, providing socio-historical insight into the development of the Nordic basic school as a political and a educational project.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Detta nummer av KAPET inleds med artikeln Att göras till "riktig" pojke – Maskulinitetsskapanden i skolans praktik. Tomas Saar och Marie Nordberg presenterar alternativa berättelser från ett längre etnografiskt projekt. I artikeln Förändrade dokumentationspraktier – förändrade stödinsatser? diskuterar Marie Tanner och Héctor Pérez Prieto hur specialpedagoger översätter och hanterar en nyligen införd reform. Reformen gäller skolors stödinsatser. Vi följer upp detta genom artikeln History of change in education of pupils with severe hearing loss – Teachers’ narratives from Finland and Sweden där Marjatta Takala och Carin Roos uppmärksammar oss på att det saknas forskning om undervisning av döva elever och elever med hörselnedsättning. De belyser lärares egna perspektiv på sin praktik. Vidare har Anna-Lena Göransson och Annica Ådefors skrivit en resumé där de presenterar läslyftsmodulen Språk i yrkesämnen som tagits fram på uppdrag av Skolverket. Konsten att fånga kommunikation beskrivs i en metodartikel Kameraanvändning i videoobservation. Anna Öhman beskriver sina erfarenheter av att använda sig av både hand- och huvudkamera vid videoobservationer. Handledning står i fokus i Annelie Andersén och Hamid Asgharis artikel Identitetsframträdande och positionering i handledares berättelser. Avslutningsvis zoomar vi ut med En nyfiken betraktelse av de ökade kraven på skolans vetenskaplighet. Anette Forssten Seiser kopplar ihop diskursen ökade krav på vetenskaplighet med diskursen utbildningsprestation som konkurrensmedel.

Morality in Parents' Stories of Preschool Choice : Narrating Identity Positions of Good Parenting
- 2013
-

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article aims to contribute to our understanding of how moral aspects of parents’ choices of preschool play a part in the processes of marketisation and privatisation of childcare in Sweden. The paper explores parents’ narratives of preschool choice as moral claims of parental identities. The analysed data are based on a study of how parents make sense of their preschool choice during life-story interviews. Our results point out good parenting as having to do with making distinctions between what is ‘good and bad’ and ‘right and wrong’ regardless of whether the choices concern preschools or the behaviour of preschool teachers and parents. Culturally available discourses become visible through the making of these distinctions in ways that ultimately point to the subject position of parents as particular choosers as related to a prevailing discourse of parental responsibility.

Promoting professional freedom : Public preschools dealing with the market
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Educação, Soeciedade & Culturas. - 0872-7643. ; :29, s. 73-87
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to contribute to the discussion of the privatisation and marketisation of childcare in Sweden from the perspective of public preschool teachers. Interviews were conducted with three teachers and their principal. The respondents were asked to elaborate on their experiences of the recent establishment of a nearby private preschool and its possible impact on their own preschool practice. A narrative analysis revealed three key narratives in the data: the market narrative, the narrative of the good public preschool and the narrative of professional freedom. The key narratives made visible a local sense making and re-negotiation of cultural discourses about marketisation, making freedom of choice a prerogative for public preschool teachers instead of for parents. We argue that this may have implications or the teaching profession and teacher identity.

Together? On Childcare as a Meeting Place in a Swedish City
- 2002

Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research. - 0031-3831 .- 1470-1170. ; 47:1, s. 43-62
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The sweeping changes in Swedish society in the 1990s, with extensive decentralisation, privatisation and cutbacks in the public sector, implied quite new conditions for the realisation of the aim of pre-school and school as a meeting place for children from different backgrounds. This article discusses some of these changes and their implications, through a study of parent's choice of pre-school care facility in the city of Uppsala. The main data source is a survey study among 1584 mothers of children born in 1995. The results show that parents' use of the right to choose pre-school facility is economically, socially and culturally segregated; the patterns of choice are construed in relation to residential areas but are not a simple effect of housing segregation. The choice of pre-school facility in Uppsala is thus a practice that creates specific conditions--socially and culturally homogenous private pre-school facilities--that make it virtually impossible for them to achieve the goal of being meeting places.

Rerouting: Discipline, Assessment and Performativity in Contemporary Swedish Educational Discourse
- 2010

Ingår i: Education Inquiry. - Umeå : Umeå School of Education, Umeå University, Sweden. - 2000-4508. ; 1:3, s. 177-195
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As Sweden drew nearer to the 2006 national election, two themes emerged in the educational debate: a concern for order and discipline in schools, and the ambition to raise educational levels of achievement. The objective of this article is to locate these two themes within a broader framework of understanding by: 1) discussing examples of how the reinforcement of disciplinary power in schools was introduced, justified and deployed by right-wing constellations during this time; and 2) to relate these policy changes to both a Foucauldian theory of power and to current discussions on performativity, assessment and governmentality. Considered as attempts to locate students, teachers and schools within networks of performativity, thereby strengthening the image of Sweden as a "performing knowledge nation", we argue that these policy changes have a much closer relationship with the art of "perception management" than with any genuine interest in education for human proficiency.

Livsberättelser : mening och identitet i tid och rum
- 2012
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna antologi samlar texter som skrivits av deltagare i Livsberättelseseminariet vid Karlstad universitet. Texterna aktualiserar på olika sätt frågan om relationer mellan livsberättelser och identiteter. Vad de olika bidragen har gemensamt är att de på olika sätt berör frågor om hur människors erfarenheter och identiteter tillskrivs mening genom berättelser samtidigt som nya erfarenheter och identiteter skapas genom själva berättandet. Det är mellan ett perspektiv på berättelser som reflekterande återberättande av erfarenheter och som performativt skapande av mening och identiteter som denna antologi placerar sig.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I och med att betyg i årskurs 6 och nationella prov i samhälls- och naturorienterande ämnen infördes lades ansvaret att prestera mer på eleverna själva. För att lyckas som elev blev det centralt att förstå bedömningssystemet. Intervjuer med elever visar att såväl de som deras lärare och föräldrar de första åren talade mycket om bedömning och lade mycket kraft på att hantera det nya – även om elevernas engagemang varierade beroende på de vuxnas. I en tid då utbildningssystemet orienteras mot att mäta kunskaper och jämföra resultat är det särskilt viktigt att lyssna till eleverna. Vi vill med vår studie bidra till en diskussion om hur uppdraget att bedöma ska viktas i relation till andra delar av skolans samhällsuppdrag.

Institutional memories in school : Narratives from a closed school
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper focuses on how educational policy changes take shape in alocal school-context. Specifically, the aim is to show how discursive frag-ments (Ball, 2007) and/or nested narratives (Linde, 2009) stand out inteachers' institutional memories. The new 'meta-narrative' about educa-tion is characterized by neoliberal's ideas about privatization & marketiza-tion. To catch and understand these changes, from the teacher's perspec-tives, we focus on institutional memories (Linde, op cit). These workingmemories are told & retold by teachers, & in times of change, they areguides to future actions. New versions of memories of past events are pro-duced & reshaped in the time of the telling. Empirically, this study isanchored in 15 life-history interviews conducted with 8 teachers who havebeen working at the same secondary high-school in a Swedish middle-sized town. The school was recently shut down. The narratives cover a 40-year period of school-history. All interviews have been transcribed &screened for institutional memories. Results show how versions of institu-tional memories, framed by different discursive fragments & nested narratives, form a new local mosaic of narratives about education.

Pupils’ enactments of a policy for equivalence : Stories about different conditions when preparing for national tests
- 2018
-
Ingår i: European Educational Research Journal. - London, United Kingdom : Sage Publications. - 1474-9041. ; 17:5, s. 676-695
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article revolves around the educational policy introduced in Swedish schools that has extended national testing to younger pupils. The policy is intended to support equal assessment and grading. With the exception of short-term preparations for the tests focused on here, the testing routines are regulated by the state. The paper aims to examine how the policy of national testing in grade six is enacted in different school contexts from a pupil’s point of view, and how this affects equivalence in school. A narrative analysis was conducted of pupils’ (n = 150) stories about preparing for national tests in 11 schools. Three forms of enactments were distinguished according to how responsibility for test preparations was allocated in each school. In some schools, teachers invited the pupils systematically to the translation process. In other schools, pupils were given most of the responsibility for preparation and were left alone as actors vis-a-vis the policy. Finally, in schools that applied ad hoc preparations, the pupils’ position as actors became less secure and more multifaceted. This variety regarding the pupils’ test preparations in school stress that the different enactments of this policy of national testing have implications for the interpretation of equivalence in school.

Harnessing teachers’ perspectives : Recognizing mathematically highly able pupils and orchestrating teaching for them in a diverse ability classroom
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- There is a lack of research that explores teachers’ perspectives on teaching highly able pupils (HAPs) in the diverse ability classroom. Instead, pupils’ perspectives are common, such studies often concluding that teachers need more professional development or that they fail to support HAPs. Consequently, previous research does not support teachers in how to implement teaching that includes HAPs. This thesis aims to harness teachers’ perspectives of pedagogical possibilities that enable learning opportunities for mathematically highly able pupils (MHAPs). By comparing pupils’ (n=264) relative achievement on two different tests, traditional and non-traditional, the first part of this thesis explores teachers’ possibilities to recognize MHAPs. The results show that pupils who achieved highly on the non-traditional test, but not on the other, have higher problem-solving competence compared to pupils who achieved highly on the traditional test instead. The second part presents a teacher-initiated investigation of pupils’ perceptions of challenging mathematical tasks. The findings indicate that the developed tool can help teachers find suitable tasks for MHAPs. The final part uses positioning theory to analyze teachers’ (N=17) discussions and probe their perceptions on orchestrating teaching MHAPs. The findings show that the teachers have knowledge of how to recognize and support MHAPs. Specifically, the teachers express possibilities with challenging tasks and differentiated education to meet MHAPs’ learning needs. Furthermore, the teachers perceived fewer rights than duties to orchestrate teaching for MHAPs’, for example, to continuously asses them. The studies in this thesis support teachers to orchestrate teaching including MHAPs in the diverse ability classroom. Both practice and research can be guided by what the teachers in these studies perceived as possible to do to orchestrate such teaching. Thereby support is given to teachers, from teachers, through research.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- El articulo presenta análisis de cómo el imperativo individualista, elemento central de la política educacional neoliberal de los últimos decenios, se construye en la sala de clases de un quinto año de la escuela básica sueca, pero también de cómo esa construcción es desafiada por el accionar de un alumno que rehúsa asumir las responsabilidades que tal política le asigna. Los puntos de partida se encuentran en los conceptos de policy enactment, performatividad y fabricación (Ball, 2003, 2009) en combinación con en el método de análisis de conversación (Have 1999). Los análisis se basan en videograbaciones de una lección acerca de un formulario de autoevaluación. Los análisis de la interacción entre profesora y alumnos muestran el predominio de una postura discursiva común, basada en una supuesta necesidad constante de mejoramiento en el alumno, quien siempre debe estar dispuesto a identificar posibles mejoramientos y a hacerse responsable de ellos. Pero también muestran lo que ocurre cuando esto es desafiado por el accionar de un alumno que rehúsa hacerse responsable de las deficiencias escolares, negándose a formularlas en términos de defectos personales propios o de proponer soluciones al problema. Lo cual produce desplazamientos en la interacción que transforman paulatinamente la definición del problema.

Läxor om och för kulturell mångfald med föräldrars livserfarenheter som resurs – några kritiska aspekter
- 2013

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the thesis is to explore how parents' life experience can become a resource to strengthen teaching about, and for, cultural diversity with the help of homework assignments and teacher feedback. Two of the four articles included are based on data from the Läxprojektet (2004-2006) [The Homework Assignment Project], which was a practicebased, collaborative research project at a multi-lingual and multi-cultural secondary school. The material collected from project and used in this thesis consists of collaborative homework assignments, audio recorded lessons, student texts and interviews with parents, students and teachers. Article A concerns teachers' feedback during classroom discussions. Results consist of seven categories of feedback and show that all feedback, in contrast to previous research, does not support students' learning. Article B show that collaborative lessons that are based on parents' life experience may fulfill the function of boundary objects (Star & Griesemer 1989) between home and school. Article C deals with the relationship between homework and feedback, which is studied in a research review. Article D revealed that issues concerning how cultural diversity was highlighted at the municipal level and in school planning were primarily featured in the municipalities with the highest proportion of multilingual immigrant students.Thesis results suggest that:Feedback is a challenge for teachers when the content of what the students present is unknown.Parents' life experiences can be a resource in a content-based partnership between home and school.Teaching about cultural diversity is facilitated by the existence of cultural diversity among students and parents.In summary, results indicate that there are several factors that influence whether and how content and teaching about, and for, cultural diversity succeeds in schools. These factors affect the individual level, the classroom level and partially also the municipal level.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I den här artikeln diskuteras hur specialpedagoger översätter och hanterar en nyligen införd reform när det gäller skolors stödinsatser, där det tidigare begreppet ”särskilt stöd” nu har delats in i två nivåer av stödinsatser, ”extra anpassningar” eller ”särskilt stöd”. Med utgångspunkt i en mindre intervjustudie uppmärksammas några av de frågor och dilemman som aktualiseras i samband med detta. Reformen förstås som ett exempel på hur policy reformer ramar in och formar det tolkningsarbete som sker på alla nivåer i utbildningssystemet, vilket mot bakgrund av skolans nuvarande styrningssystem under senare decennier har inneburit ett ökat performativt tryck. Analysen grundar sig på tre intervjuer med specialpedagoger på olika skolor och olika stadier. Sådana aspekter som i intervjuerna framstår som kritiska för hur specialpedagogerna hanterar de förändringar som skrivits fram på myndighetsnivå har identifierats och tematiserats. Resultatet visar hur specialpedagogerna hamnar i en mellanposition mellan rektor och lärararbetslagen, där förhandlingar om olika yrkesgruppers ansvar i förhållande till varandra blir centralt när reformen hanteras. Strävan efter att utarbeta hållbara rutiner och strukturer för att utreda, dokumentera och följa upp stödinsatser framstår som en stor del av specialpedagogernas tolkning av reformen, medan förändringsarbetet på klassrumsnivå blir mindre synligt i deras framställning.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I den här artikeln uppmärksammar vi förekomsten av olika privata och kommersiella webbsajter som specifikt riktar sig mot undervisning och lärande i skolan. Syftet är att beskriva och diskutera hur några olika kommersiella aktörer på internet tar plats som policyaktörer i ett utbildningssammanhang, och vad det kan betyda i relation till undervisningens ämnesinnehåll. Med ett särskilt fokus på historieämnet, analyserar vi med inspiration från metoden network ethnograpy två olika exempel på sådana webbsajter, SO-rummet samt studi.se. Vi undersöker det nätverk av aktörer som ligger bakom webbsajten, hur syftet med sajten framställs samt hur historieämnet konstrueras på dessa sajter. Resultatet visar hur den politiska styrningen av skolan har fått konkurrens av nya aktörer, vilket leder till att de förstnämndas inflytande minskar till förmån för det komplexa nätverk av aktörer som istället tar plats. På så vis skapas ett marknadens ämne, som visserligen i de två studerade exemplen visar sig ligga nära det konventionella skolämnet historia, men som också visar på ett starkt behov av ytterligare forskning som kan synliggöra hur olika och vitt skilda ideologiska intressen tar plats och skapar politiska kluster som kommer att påverka undervisningens innehåll.

Studying policy in interaction : Students’ enactment of new grades and national tests in Swedish year six.
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this presentation is to explore how recent policy changes in education gets interpreted and realized in student interaction. In recent years the concept of enactment has been used within policy research as an analytical tool for the understanding of how policy gets translated into practice by actors on different levels (Ball, 2006; Ball, Maguire & Braun, 2012; Singh, Heimans & Glasswell, 2014; Tanner & Pérez Prieto, 2014). Most studies on a school level focus on school leaders and teachers, whereas the students often remain unnoticed as actors in policy practice. In this presentation we argue for the importance of including students’ perspectives in studies of policy, and suggest new methods for how this could be explored. Methodologically we bring together understandings of policy enactment and performativity from the field of educational sociology with the ethnomethodological stance of conversation analysis (CA) for studying how policy comes to play in interactions between students (ten Have, 1999). We use data from a larger study about students’ experiences on doing national tests and getting grades in year 6, including more than 10 schools. The data consists of audio- and video recordings from focus group interviews with students and of video recordings from classrooms in the preparation and realization of the national tests.Preliminary results show how students position themselves as competent actors in relation to peers, teachers and family as they talk about tests and grades. In the interactions they negotiate strategies for coping with expectations and increasing pressure, while at the same time playing down the importance of tests and grades in for example comparisons with friends or in relation to final grades in year nine. Even though the combination of CA and the theoretical concept of policy enactment require careful methodological considerations, we find a substantial gain in the way it makes new understandings of students’ identity formations in relation to educational policy possible.

"...When It Is Us the Tests Are Made for". Students' Argumentations in a Performative Education System

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim is to analyse how policy decisions about assessment practices influence what it means to be a student in a performative system. We examine an occasion where a previously mandatory national test became optional, and how students took the opportunity to try to change the school's decision about this. The study is based on student group interviews in year 6, and uses Conversation Analysis to examine how they use discursive resources to co-construct fabrications of the ideal student. The findings show how neoliberal rhetoric has worked its way into the students' everyday lives, and how they display a deep knowledge about how to use arguments that work inside the system. We argue that there is a need for more knowledge about contemporary education policies from a student perspective.
