Denna uppsats behandlar bloggverktyget i undervisningssyfte. Syftet är att undersöka hur ett urval av svensklärare i grundskolans senare år på olika sätt resonerar kring användandet av bloggverktyget i skrivundervisningen. För att uppnå detta syfte har fem stycken lärare intervjuats vid personliga möten genom halvstrukturerade intervjuformer. Dessa lärare uppvisade en varierad syn på så väl själva bloggverktyget som dess användningsområde. Majoriteten av dessa lärare ställer sig huvudsakligen positiva till bloggverktyget som helhet, men belyser också vissa kritiska aspekter så som elevernas trygghet, skrivutveckling och hur ett integrerande av elevernas fritid i skolan kan uppfattas av dem. Undersökningens resultat överensstämmer i mångt och mycket med forskningslitteraturen. Elevernas motviation till skrivning och att de skriver mycket på sin fritid belyses. Likaså skolans ansvar att anpassa undervisningen till det samhälle den verkar i och är skapare av. Den svenska skolan som genomsyras av ett sociokulturellt lärandeperspektiv bör kunna utgå ifrån elevernas vardag och fritid för att ett dialogiskt klassrum ska kunna skapas. Därmed är bloggen ett utmärkt verktyg och redskap för undervisningen genom sin mångfacetterade utformning som ger möjlighet till att arbeta med kamratrespons och skrivprocessen på ett gynnsamt sätt.

The purpose of this study was to examine the usage and occurrence of media literacy in relation to literature studies in the senior level of the nine-year compulsory school. The questions at issue were; How do teachers and students look upon media literacy and how is this attitude reflected in their education? How do teachers incorporate media literacy with literature studies? What attitudes do students have towards their teachers’ education of media literacy and literature studies? The study took place in two cities in Sweden. It consists of eighteen qualitative interviews with six teachers and twelve students. The study shows that teachers have different attitudes towards media education in relation to literature studies. When teachers use media in their classroom movies tend be more common. Many teachers had difficulties with media education; it’s a question about time and technical resources. Some of the students were satisfied with their education. Some students wanted to include more media types with the literature studies, like blogs, but they didn’t share this with their teachers. / Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka om det vidgade textbegreppet förekommer och hur det används i samband med skönlitteratur i svenskundervisningen på högstadiet. Frågeställningarna vi utgick från i arbetet var: Vilken syn har lärare och elever på det vidgade textbegreppet och hur avspeglas detta i undervisningen? Hur arbetar svensklärare med skönlitteratur ur ett undervisande perspektiv i samband med ett vidgat textbegrepp? Hur ser eleverna på sin svensklärares skönlitteraturundervisning i relation till det vidgade textbegreppet? Studien är gjord i två mellanstora grannkommuner i södra Sverige, den består av arton kvalitativa intervjuer med sex lärare och tolv elever. Resultatet visar att lärare har olika syn på det vidgade textbegreppet i skönlitteraturundervisningen. När lärare använder medier i klassrummet blir det vanligtvis film.

False or misleading information can damage societal cohesion, school libraries are involved in teaching media and information literacy and can be an important start for students' knowledge in the field. The thesis aims to investigate how library plans and school library plans present the school library's mission with teaching media and information literacy, and how a didactic school library model could look like and what it can contribute to the school library's activities. To achieve the purpose, the questions are used: What can a theoretical model of school library di-dactics contain? How do library and school library plans present the school library's learning area MIL from a didactic perspective? And why does the school library need a didactic model and what could it contribute? The method is a qualitative content analysis of 18 current library and school library plans. The result is analyzed with a school library didactic model developed based on the didactic basic questions what, how and why. Hansen's model of library didactics is also used and the school library's central areas such as the room, intermediation and as a pedagogical resource. The study concludes that there are differences in how the plans presents the school library's role with MIL and that a clearer school library plan designed by the principal, school librarian and other relevant staff at the school in collaboration can clarify the school library's activities. A school library didactic model can be relevant for demonstrating the school library's special role and promoting the status of an integration in the school's activities. This is a two-year master's thesis in library and information science.

<p>This paper describes how teachers of media view and construct their subjects. Eight teachers have been interviewed about their views and opinions about the media environment, their goals for media education as well as their opinions about the different course plans used in media education. The term Media Literacy works as a theoretical starting point for the study, since Media Literacy is the goal for most media education. The teachers’ answers have been analyzed by using three different approaches to media education: protection, promotion and empowerment. These three approaches cannot be entirely separated from each other because they constantly interact. The results of the study show that the interviewed teachers use an empowering approach in their own goals for media education, but the protection approach dominates their reasons for educating pupils about media. However, each teacher had their own way to construct their subjects. Another conclusion drawn from the study is that more interaction between teachers and media education research would be a good way to improve the quality and development of the media education.</p>

Föreliggande studie syftar till att söka ökad kunskap och förståelse för bildämnets möjligheter att stärka Skolverkets uppdrag och mål att utveckla adekvat digital kompetens hos elever, samt synliggöra hur bildlärare arbetar med att utveckla och stärka elevers digitala kompetens utifrån olika aspekter av medie- och informationskunnighet. För att få ett så nyanserat och varierat resultat som möjligt användes en kvalitativ metod, närmare bestämt semi-strukturerade intervjuer och en öppen enkätundersökning. Ett total av fem intervjuer genomfördes med verksamma bildlärare i olika delar av Sverige samt en fokusgruppsintervju med elever på en skola. Enkätundersökningen genererade 20 svar från elever. Det empiriska materialet analyserades med hjälp av två teorier: (i) artefaktsteori och (ii) läroplansteori. Resultatet illustrerar att lärare besitter varierande kunskapsnivåer och att olika kunskaper ger konsekvenser för vilket lärande som ges företräde. Vidare illustrerar resultatet att lärare och elever har olika inställningar om vilket lärande som bildämnet ämnar generera. Resultatet visar även att bildämnet har många möjligheter till att utveckla elevers digitala kompetens, men att det krävs fortbildning för att genomföra ett sådant arbete. / The present study aims to seek increased knowledge and understanding of the possibilities that the art subject has to strengthen the Swedish National Agency for Education´s goals and mission to develop students’ digital competence. Furthermore, to understand how art teachers work to foster and strengthen student digital competence from different aspects of media- and information literacy. A qualitative method was used, more precisely semi-structured interviews and a survey, to attain a wide variety of varied and nuanced results. A total of five interviews were conducted with working art teachers in Sweden and one focus group interview with students at a school. The survey resulted in 20 answers from students. The empirical material was analysed using two theories: artefacts theory and curriculum theory. The results illustrated that teachers have a varied knowledge, and that the variation has an impact on what students learn. The result also shows that students and teachers have a difference in attitudes about what the subject aims to teach students. Finally, that the art subject has a lot of possibilities to foster students’ digital competence, but it takes a lot further training to enable it.
