The object of this thesis was to find out the opinion about grades among teachers in music, taking into consideration the underlying purposes, which are normally highlighted to motivate grades and to elucidate the music teachers view on the their possibilities to evaluate the pupils achievements and to give fair grades. Four music teachers were interviewed and transcriptions were made from the interviews. Relevant substance of the interviews was described and in the discussion part of the study a comparison was made with the research that was reviewed in the background. The main conclusion in the study is the teachers in music are not basically against grades and that they have a good understanding of the purposes with grades. They are also of the opinion that there are good opportunities to tool and individualise the pedagogy even though lack of resources is an obstacle. Guidance is needed on a national level but there is a hesitation about national tests. Teachers have a clear opinion about the certain difficulties, which are related to evaluation and grades in the subject music. / <p>Validerat; 20130520 (global_studentproject_submitter)</p>
