Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Student teachers consider teacher training as an important part of teacher education. Despite this, students’ explicit descriptions of quality in mentoring have not been paid much attention in the Swedish context. This study aims to contribute with knowledge of student teachers’ expressions of quality in mentoring during the teacher training program. Two focus group interviews and seven individual interviews were conducted with student teachers specializing in teaching grades F–3 and 4–6, in teacher training schools that participated in the trial activities in Sweden. Their statements have been analysed based on the theory of social representations. The result shows that three social representations appear: Qualitative mentoring is characterized by a) student’s professional development, b) collegial cooperation, and c) trust. These social representations influence students’ expectations of mentoring and its design. Although the students want to be seen as colleagues, they expect mentors to decide when, where and how mentoring should be carried out, and to have a distinct feeling to use the right type of mentoring at the right time. The mixed professional roles, which is highlighted by the students but seem to be implicit, calls for different forms of mentoring strategies that need to be explicit for both the mentor and the student.

Hästflickan i rörelse : Generationsberättelser om hästboksläsning
- 2023
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Hästflickan i rörelse: Generationsberättelser om hästboksläsningI vår forskning om hästböcker har vi kommit att intressera oss också för hästboksläsarna. I syfte att få kunskap om varför människor läser hästböcker har vi intervjuat cirka 60 unga och vuxna. Ett delresultat utifrån intervjuer med flickor 9-12 och i vissa fall deras (ibland hästintresserade) föräldrar presenteras. Där framkommer att flickorna i många fall är bokslukare, om än tämligen genretrogna. Ett tydligt samband mellan identiteten som hästtjej och läsare framträder, då läsningen ofta har spin-off-effekter på lekmönster. Orsakerna bakom hästboksläsningen handlar om identifikation i termer av ett flickskap som i stallkulturen står utanför normen och som präglas av mod och beslutsamhet, men där även spänning och kunskapsinhämtning nämns. Hästbokens status har höjts i både skolan och på bibliotek, där den tidigare har haft dåligt rykte, något som kan ses som att större uppmärksamhet ägnas åt något som intresserar många flickor.

Intersectional Perspectives on Horse Stories : Pia Hagmar’s Series on Millan
- 2021
-
In: Book of Abstracts: Equine Cultures in Transition Conference. ; , s. 3-3
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper focuses on horse stories as depictions of identity formation withinequestrian cultures. The material used is Pia Hagmar’s three books on Millan,published 2012-2014. In these stories, the construction of girlhood interconnectswith the becoming of a person used to handle the large and potentially dangerousanimal, which is the horse. In Susanna Hedenborg´s study of the horse story genre(2013), she shows the image of a non-traditional girl, used to hard and dirty work,but also a classical fearful and shy girl outside of the interaction with horses. InHelen Asklund’s study, the investigation uncovers a construction of girlhood incontrast with antagonistic characters (Asklund 2013). This paper uses anintersectional perspective to explore how the main characters in Pia Hagmar’sseries about Millan and their identities are shaped by their interaction with bothhorses and fellow humans of both sexes within equine cultures, a milieu whichallows re-negotiations of what being a girl implies. Adults are positively portrayedas caring providers of knowledge about horses or as facilitators of the ridinginterest through financial support, or negatively as dysfunctional persons unable toact as adults. Boys of similar age and with an interest in horses are portrayed asgood friends, sometimes more, but the girls are, first and foremost, interested inhorses. Between girl characters, there are often conflicts and jealousy. The studyaims at mapping out the formation of identity by highlighting power asymmetriessuch as gender, age, species, class and sexuality.

”När vi rider tillsammans känns hon mer som en kompis än som en mamma” : Modersvariationer i tre hästboksserier av Pia Hagmar

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article analyzes how the horse story setting problematizes the conception of the good mother and normative mothering, by elucidating how the gazes of the young main characters on their mothers function in relation to the notion of the good mother, how this influences the mothering and how the mothering characters challenge this notion. Mothering is seen here as caring practices, which can be performed by people other than mothers. The analysis of three horse story series by Pia Hagmar, the books on Klara (1999–2008), the books on Millan (2012–2014) and the books on Juli (2019–2021), shows that the series depict motherhood and mothering at the intersection between the conception of the good mother and the good horse person. The common denominator is nurturing traits that make personal needs take the back seat – for the traditional good mother to the benefit ofher children, for the good horse person to the benefit of the horse. Hagmar normalizes the presence of several mothering characters in addition to their mothers around the horse girls. Furthermore, these characters, who function as mothering variations, contribute to the creation of a solid caring environment, reducing the demands on mothers who try to be everything to their children. Although the daughters’ views of their mothers are sometimes critical, Hagmar allows the mothers to be imperfect, partly incompetent, or simply women with their own agency, interests and needs outside of motherhood. In addition, a mother-daughter relationship built on a common interest in horses allows for a friendship with a common focus – the horse.

Why become a teacher? : Student teachers’ perceptions of the teaching profession and motives for career choice
- 2018
-
In: European Journal of Teacher Education. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0261-9768 .- 1469-5928. ; 41:3, s. 266-281
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of the study is to discursively identify student teachers’ perceptions of the teaching profession early in their education and their motives for this career choice. Students wrote a letter sharing thoughts on why they want to become a teacher, how they regard the teaching profession and if someone inspired them in their career choice. The empirical data consists of 259 student texts from three Swedish teacher education programmes. The study employed a qualitative method denoting different categorizations compared to previous studies, emphasising the idea of multiple motives for career choice and the link to student teachers’ evolving pedagogical identity. Major differences can be distinguished among the programmes, emphasising different main motives and shifting incipient pedagogic identities. The results indicate the value of organising teacher education programmes drawing on multiple motives, which is expected to contribute positively to completion of teacher education and teacher retention in future profession.

Polarisation and marginalisation – discourses on Sami as L1 mother tongue instruction in syllabus, and media debate
- 2024
-
In: Intercultural Education. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1467-5986 .- 1469-8439. ; 35:1, s. 62-77
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In Sweden, curricula and syllabi for education are politically determined after public consultations. Thus, these educational documents are discursive trade-offs reflecting research, traditions in the educational system, and political ideologies. This study maps the discourses in the syllabus for Sami as L1 mother tongue for preschool class – Year 9, and mother tongue instruction in media debate 2016–2022. It problematises the educational implications of the language ideologies and tensions in the material. While Sami is accorded the status as mother tongue, it does not have the same status as Swedish or even Modern languages. Mother tongue instruction is promoted as the foundation for learning other languages, and multilingualism as an asset for Sweden as a country, and for the individual. The quality of mother tongue instruction is criticised by Sami and other minorities, as well as by those perceiving mother tongue instruction as a threat to assimilation.
