Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper examines in what different ways the local schools interpret what is sometimes called the “commission of knowledge”, stated in policy documents and emphasized in a result oriented educational system (cf. the term ‘commission of knowledge’ in for example SOU 2007:101). The Curriculum for the Swedish Compulsory School System, Lpo 94, states that “the function of education is to promote learning for stimulating the individual to acquire knowledge”. So, in what different ways do teachers, head teachers and pupils perceive the concept of learning? The purpose of this paper is to examine in what different ways the curriculum’s offer of learning is interpreted and constituted in local school arenas.
