Syftet med uppsatsen Utomhuspedagogik som en arena för praktisk kunskap äratt undersöka fritidshemslärarnas uppfattning om på vilket sätt utomhuspedagogik bidrar till barns lärande. Resultatet avundersökningen visar att utomhuspedagogik kan vara ett lärande komplement till inomhusundervisning och ett sätt för fritidshemslärarna att komplettera skolan. Undervisningen utomhus bidrar till att öka elevernas lärande, sociala utveckling och hälsa. Jaghar i uppsatsen använt mig av semistrukturerade intervjuer med praktiserande fritidshemslärare. Jag har analyserat intervjuerna genom filosofen John Deweys syn på praktisk kunskap där handling, teori och reflektion binds samman. / The purpose with this thesis is to investigate how leisure-time teachers perceive outdoor teaching and how it contributes to the learning process amongst primary school students. The findings indicate that outdoor teaching can be a useful complement to traditional classroom teaching and it also enables leisure-time teachers to be involved in the educational process. Outdoor teaching has been proven to have a positive effect on student’s cognitive learning, social development and general health. In my thesis I have used semi-structured interviews with practicing leisure-time teachers. The thesis uses John Deweys views on practical knowledge to analyze the interviews.

This essay begins with an anecdote about a child in school who in my opinion displayed introverted behavior. This child seemed to prefer playing on its own rather than with friends. These children often become less visible due to their extrovert peers who have a greater tendency to actively seek attention from adults. The purpose of this essay is to get a wider understanding about these introvert children. What are their needs and how can we best support them in school?  In this essay I have tried to see my own actions in relation to the school’s rules and regulations concerning introvert children. I have also studied literature, how playing can support extrovert children, what a teacher can do to help and support and what the norm in today’s society is. To reflect and learn I have read books on this topic and my aim is to gain a better understanding and deeper knowledge. / Den här essän börjar med en berättelse som handlar om ett av de barn i skolan och fritidshemmet som av mig som pedagog upplevs som tyst och inåtvänt. Ett barn som verkar föredra ensamlek framför lek med klasskamrater. Ofta hamnar dessa barn i skymundan i förmån till de mer extroverta och utåtagerande barnen som aktivt söker kontakt med oss vuxna. Syftet med denna essä är att få en större förståelse för varför de tysta barnen är tysta och inåtvända. Vilka behov har de och vilket förhållningssätt bör jag som pedagog ha gentemot dem? Jag har granskat mitt agerande i berättelsen utifrån skolans och fritidshemmets styrdokument samt litteratur som tar upp blyghet, lekens betydelse, pedagogens betydelse för de tysta barnen, dagens samhällsideal och ämnet praktisk kunskap. Jag har även använt skönlitteratur för att reflektera över mitt agerande för att på så sätt få en djupare förståelse för vad jag kunde gjort annorlunda.

I det här arbetet kommer vi att belysa fritidshemslärarens yrkesroll och fritidshemmets utveckling från 1990-talet fram tills i dag. Vi kommer använda forskning av bland andra Finn Calander och Ann Pihlgren vilka har undersökt och diskuterat fritidshemmets utveckling genom 1900-talet. Teoretiska utgångspunkter för arbetet är socialkonstruktivismen och det sociokulturella perspektivet. Genom dessa teorier har vi försökt beskriva hur fritidshemmet och fritidshemslärarnas arbete har utvecklats och förändrats och vad som har styrt denna utveckling. Vidare kommer vi att diskutera vad fritidshemslärarnas lärarlegitimation har för betydelse i deras arbete. Lärarlegitimationen har lett till en viss förvirring kring frågan om fritidshemslärarnas uppdrag, både på högskolorna där de nya fritidshemslärarna utbildas och bland de fritidshemslärare som redan är ute i arbetet. Vi kommer att koppla vårt resonemang till Lgr 11 och Lpo 94 för att se hur riktlinjer och vägledning för fritidshemslärarna formuleras i styrdokumenten och hur de överensstämmer med fritidshemslärarnas praktik. Av de fyra informanter som intervjuats i arbetet var två fritidshemslärare nyutexaminerade och två med flera års yrkeserfarenhet. Två av skolorna där vi genomfört intervjuer har varit de skolor där vi haft vår verksamhetsförlagda utbildning (VFU) medan de övriga två valdes på grund av sitt intresse att medverka och sitt geografiska läge. Informanterna har berättat om vilka skolor de tidigare har arbetet på och vilka skillnader i arbetet de har sett under sin tid inom yrket. De intervjuade informanterna beskriver att de inte känner sig bekväma i den arbetsroll de har och upplever sig mer som extra lärare snarare än som fritidshemslärare.
