Dubbla yrken : En intervjustudie om vilka kompetenser som är betydelsefulla för yrkeslärare / Dual careers : Personal experiences of the competencies that is important for instructorsBladelius, Anna January 2011 (has links)
Yrkeslärare har som uppgift att arbeta med att förmedla sin kunskap om branschen så att elever ges möjlighet att utföra hantverket. De har också en pedagogisk roll för att kunna lära ut och undervisa i hantverket. Programmålen betonar aspekter som handlar om förmåga att kunna utföra yrket. Hur hanterar yrkeslärarna sina dubbla yrkesroller, upplever de att de har dubbla yrkesroller? Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka kompetenser yrkeslärare i Hotell – och restaurangprogrammet upplever betydelsefulla för att bli en professionell yrkeslärare. Detta är en intervjustudie där jag valt att intervjua tre yrkeslärare inom Hotell – och restaurangprogrammet. Resultatet pekar på att vara yrkeslärare innebär att ha kompetens inom två yrkesområden, dels branschkompetens, dels den pedagogiska yrkeskompetensen. De tre första aspekterna som lärarna betonar har koppling till branschen, och handlar om vikten av grundkunskaper och yrkeslivserfarenhet, att vara stresstålig problemlösare samt nyfikenhet och intresse för egen utveckling inom yrket. De två övriga är mer relaterade till den pedagogiska uppgiften och handlar om att vara flexibel och väl förberedd samt betydelsen av god elev- och föräldrakontakt. Samtidigt kan konstateras att dessa kompetenser också överlappar varandra, enligt analysen av deras utsagor. De upplever inte att de har dubbla roller, de upplever att det är en roll att vara yrkeslärare med dubbla och breda kompetensområden. / Instructors who have to deal with sharing her knowledge of the industry so that students are enabled to perform the craft. They also have an educational role to teach and instruct in the craft. Program goals emphasize aspects is the ability to carry out the profession. How to deal with professional teachers of their dual roles, they feel that they have dual roles? Purpose of this study is to examine what skills trainers in the hotel - and restaurant program is experiencing significant to become a professional instructors. This is an interview where I chose to interview three instructors in the hotel - and restaurant program. The results indicate that as instructors is to have expertise in two professions, and industry expertise, and teaching vocational skills. The first three aspects of teacher stress has been linked to the industry, and about the importance of basic skills and work experience, to be stress problem solver as well as curiosity and interest in own professional development. The other two are more related to the educational challenge and about being flexible and well-prepared and the importance of good student and parental contact. At the same time be noted that these competencies also overlap, according to the analysis of their evidence. They do not feel that they have dual roles, they feel that there is a role to be instructors of dual and wide areas of expertise.
