Undersökningens syfte är att få djupare förståelse och insikt i vilken uppgift musik- och kulturskolan har i samhället. Utifrån detta syfte är avsikten att få en inblick i vilka arbetsmetoder som används för att rekrytera, behålla och utveckla elever samt att få kunskap om olika faktorer som påverkar kursutbud och utveckling av skolan. Jag har i min undersökning gjort kvalitativa intervjuer med sex skolledare från olika musik- och kulturskolor i Sverige. Studien utgår från olika teorier om musik- och kulturskolans utveckling och förändring samt teorier om förändringar i skola och samhälle.    I resultatet visas att det finns flera olika förväntningar på musik- och kulturskolan vilka skiftar från skola till skola och från kommun till kommun. På några av de i studien medverkande skolorna finns det en tydlig politisk styrning, medan andra skolor nästan helt saknar en sådan styrning. De faktorer som mest framträdande påverkar musik- och kulturskolan är enligt min undersökning följande: vilka lärare som är anställda på skolan, vilka traditioner som ska upprätthållas, hur musik- och kulturskolan samarbetar med grundskolan och olika kulturella aktörer i kommunen, budget, elevtryck, hur rekryteringen ser ut och till viss del terminsavgiftens storlek.     Musik- och kulturskolans roll har förändrats under årens lopp, vilket bland annat innebär att de traditionella genrerna i större utsträckning har fått ge plats åt populärmusiken i undervisningen. Populärmusikens ökade plats i både samhället och musik- och kulturskolan har också inneburit att bland annat blåsinstrument har sjunkit mycket i popularitet.     En slutsats är att det är önskvärt att lärare inom musik- och kulturskolan både har spetskompetens samt en stor bredd, såväl genremässigt som musikaliskt, för att kunna följa eleven länge och erbjuda bästa möjliga undervisning. / The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding and insight into the role of the Community School of Music and Art in society. According to this view, the intention is to gain an insight into the working methods that are used to recruit, retain and develop students, as well as to acquire knowledge of the various factors affecting the rate of supply and development of the school. This examination contains qualitative interviews with six headmasters from different community schools of music and art in Sweden. The study is based on different theories of changes and developments within the community school of music and art. The study is also based on theories concerning cultural changes and changes in  society.     The result shows there are different expectations on community schools of music and art which vary from school to school and from municipality to municipality. Some of the schools participating in the study had an obvious political governance, while other schools almost entirely lacked such control. The factors that most affected the community schools of music and art in my survey were: the teachers that were employed at the school, which traditions were to be upheld, how the community school of music and art collaborated with schools and various cultural actors in the municipality, budget, the student population, how the school worked with recruitment and, to a certain extent, the tuition fee.     The role of the community school of music and art has changed over the years. This change has affected the traditional genres to a large extent and has created more space for popular music in the classroom. While popular music has emerged in both society and in the community school of music and art, the popularity of wind instruments has decreased greatly.     One conclusion from this examination is that it is desirable that the teachers of the community school of music and art both demonstrate excellence and a wide range, both from a genre and musical standpoint in order to guide and teach the student, and offer the best possible education.

Den här undersökningen syftar till att få en djupare förståelse för hur musik- och kulturskolans verksamhet kan se ut i framtiden. Jag vill få en inblick i vilka faktorer som påverkar utvecklingen av den kommunala musik- och kulturskolan, samt hur musik- och kulturskolan väljer att förhålla sig till dessa faktorer. För att undersöka detta har jag använt mig av kvalitativ intervju som forskningsmetod för att därigenom få fram fyra instrumentallärares och tre musikledares tankar och erfarenheter.Resultatet visar på flera faktorer som påverkar förväntningarna på den kommunala musik- och kulturskolan varav de mest framträdande är media, musikaliska trender, sociala faktorer och elevernas förväntningar på undervisningen. Dessa faktorer påverkar musik- och kulturskolan både som organisation och verksamhet, men också själva undervisningen. Bland annat visar undersökningen att musik- och kulturskolan behöver förhålla sig till att dagens elever har nya uppfattningar om vad det innebär att musicera och att lära sig spela ett instrument. Många lärare beskriver att elever sällan förstår att de måste öva på sina instrument för att lära sig spela. Resultatet visar också att musik- och kulturskolans ledning idag jobbar mer för att skapa en utåtriktad verksamhet, vilket man också sannolikt kommer att behöva göra i framtiden.En slutsats i undersökningen är att musik- och kulturskolans verksamhet idag behöver ha en bred och mångfasetterad verksamhet vad gäller både instrument, repertoar och undervisning för att möta dagens elever. En annan slutas är att grundambitionen att bilda folket i musik, har ändrats till att ge alla barn en möjlighet att utvecklas med musik. / This study aims for a deeper understanding in how the community school of music and art will develop in the future. I would like to decide which factors influence the development of the community school of music and art, and how the school chooses to approach these factors. Four instrumental teachers and three music leaders have been interviewed.The results indicate factors that influence the expectations of the community school of music and art, of which the most prominent are media, musical trends, social factors and the student’s expectations on the education. These factors exert influence on the community school of music and art, both as an organization and as a productive activity, as well as the education. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the community school of music and art must approach students with new views, on what it means to play and learn an instrument. The teachers point out that the students seldom understand that it is necessary to practice to learn how to play their instruments. The result also shows that management at3the community school of music and art is working to create a more expansive business, which will continue into the future.One conclusion of the study, is that the community school of music and art of today, needs to have a wide productive activity in regard to meeting the students’ need concerning instruments, repertoires and education. Another conclusion is that the basic ambition to educate people in music, has given way to provide all children a possibility to develop through music.

Initially introduced by English schools and little by little it is popularizing itself in the country. Today, not only the schools commemorate the date. The commemorations are carnivalization and for carnivalization we understand as a deviation of the cultural manifestation on the cultural fact, accordingly to the concept theorized by Bakhtin. Another important concept for this research is the multiculturalism and its relation with education. The goal of this paper is to analyze these concepts and its applicability to the reality manifested in a school atmosphere. The research makes use of this problem and sees how this carnivalization of the commemorations occurs according to the teachers' and students perceptions in a community typically paulistana and presents the hypothesis that these celebrations start with elements peculiar to the national culture and with the process of carnivalization of other cultures. For that reason we deal with carnivalization and multiculturalism concepts related with the education specifically in schools with a juvenile public. / O Halloween é uma manifestação cultural estrangeira que vem tomando seu espaço no Brasil, principalmente nas escolas e no comércio. Inicialmente introduzida pelas escolas de inglês, vai se popularizando no país. Hoje, não só as escolas comemoram a data. As comemorações são carnavalizadas e por carnavalização se entende um desvio da manifestação cultural sobre o fato cultural, conforme o conceito teorizado por Bakhtin. Outro conceito importante para esta pesquisa é o multiculturalismo e suas relações com a educação. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar estes conceitos e sua aplicabilidade à realidade manifestada num ambiente escolar. A pesquisa problematiza como se efetua esta carnavalização das comemorações segundo as percepções dos docentes e alunos de uma comunidade escolar tipicamente paulistana e apresenta a hipótese de que estas celebrações se dão a partir de elementos próprios da cultura nacional e com o processo de carnavalização das outras culturas. Para tanto, aborda os conceitos de carnavalização e ainda de multiculturalismo relacionados com a educação, especificamente, em escolas com o público infanto-juvenil.

The purpose of this thesis was to reflect on my experiences as an educator in a unique educational community of immense diversity. More specifically, the use of autobiographical narrative helped to focus my reflections on change efforts aimed at nurturing a supportive learning community. The narrative storytelling methodology was used, building on the belief that people are storytellers by nature and narratives stories are an effective way to organize and make sense of life experiences. Through storytelling, I identified experiences that impacted my personal and professional beliefs and practices. I considered two factors contributing to the significance of a story: emotional intensity and impact on learning. The expression of the stories was approached by examining what initiated the change effort, what change was made, and what effect or result occurred. The contribution of this thesis lies in the impact of the stories shared; stories have the power to draw people in and promote an emotional level of empathetic understanding and learning difficult to achieve by other means. The literature served two main purposes in this work: (a) enhanced my reflective analysis in the examination of critical considerations for implementing change, and (b) substantiated the stories. The literature provided the opportunity for further reflection on the change efforts in order to determine how to improve their implementation success, and to be better equipped to approach future change efforts in a more judicious and prudent manner. At the conclusion of the study, future considerations were outlined regarding: (a) upcoming changes, (b) implications for practices, (c) implications for society and (d) recommendations for further research.

Processos estes que estão presentes na associação de agricultores, na escola, na igreja e em outros espaços vivenciados no cotidiano camponês. Uma questão norteadora do estudo foi: quais processos educativos contribuem para o fortalecimento da educação no contexto do campo? Entendemos que a educação está presente em outros processos, não se resume à escola, e nesse contexto, ela tem um papel fundamental que é de dialogar com os demais processos e possibilitar a sistematização e socialização, contextualizada, dos conhecimentos e saberes construídos no conjunto das práticas locais. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar processos educativos que fortalecem a educação escolar e não escolar no contexto do campo. O estudo se deu no Ribeiro, Lagedo e Gameleira que são três comunidades rurais do município de Alagoa Nova-PB. Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, utilizando instrumentos como observação participante, diário de campo, entrevista semiestruturada e história oral de vida, identificamos processos necessários para fortalecer a educação no contexto do campo, presentes na dialética das histórias das pessoas, considerando todas as continuidades e descontinuidades, avanços e retrocessos, conquistas e perdas que as fortalecem enquanto sujeitos camponeses. A partir do relato das suas histórias, tecemos considerações, destacando os processos educativos escolares e não escolares vinculados às vivências dos sujeitos e das coletividades do campo, nos territórios estudados

Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på vad oboelärare på musik- och kulturskolor har för erfarenheter kring sina elevers motivation att spela oboe. I bakgrundskapitlet presenteras en beskrivning av instrumentet oboe följt av en beskrivning av musik- och kulturskolans framväxt i Sverige under 1900-talet och en kort beskrivning av motivationsteorier genom historien. Tidigare forskning som presenteras berör studier kring elevers motivation att spela musikinstrument och elevens sociala relationers betydelse för motivationen. Motivationsteorier som används är Maslows behovstrappa samt yttre och inre motivation. Studien har en interpretativistik kunskapsteori och genom det fenomenologiska perspektivet används begreppen livsvärld och intersubjektivitet. Forskningsmetoden är semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra oboelärare som arbetar på musik- eller kulturskolor i Sverige. Intervjuerna analyserades genom en tematisk analysmetod. Resultatet presenterar fyra olika områden som oboelärarna erfar påverkar deras elevers motivation; varför elever blir motiverade att spela oboe och varför elever tappar motivationen till att spela oboe, oboens specifika förutsättningar, material och moment som används i undervisningen och betydelsen av sociala relationer för elevens motivation. Avslutningsvis presenteras en diskussion mellan resultatet och tidigare nämnd forskning, teorier och litteratur. / The purpose of this study is to find out what oboe teachers in the community school of music and art have for experiences around their students' motivation to play oboe. The background chapter presents a description of the instrument oboe followed by a description of the growth the community school of music and art in Sweden during the 20th century and a brief description of motivation theories throughout history. Previous research that is presented concerns studies on students' motivation to play musical instruments and the student's social relations' significance for motivation. Motivation theories used are Maslow's ladder of needs as well as external and internal motivation. The study has an interpretivist theory of knowledge and through the phenomenological perspective the concepts of life world and intersubjectivity are used. The research method is semi-structured interviews with four oboe teachers who work at the community school of music and art in Sweden. The interviews were analyzed using a thematic analysis method. The results present four different areas that the oboe teachers experience affect their students' motivation; why students are motivated to play oboe and why students lose motivation, the oboe's specific conditions, materials and elements used in teaching and the importance of social relations for the student's motivation. Finally, a discussion is presented between the results and the previously mentioned research, theories and literature.
