Historieundervisning på två sidor av Östersjön : En komparativ studie av ämnesplaner för historieämnet i Finland och Sverige mellan åren 1985–2020 / History on two sides of the Baltic Sea : A comparative study of course plans in the subject of history in Finland and Sweden 1985-2020

This study aims to determine the similarities and differences between the Finnish and Swedish course plans for the history subject, focusing particularly on the content contained in the course plans and the amount of national history included in them as well as the changes over time. The essay is based on the comparative research method with a theoretical basis in Ulf P. Lundgren's theories about the curriculum and how it is influenced by the society in which it is written. Three different course plans were used from each country, spanning the period between 1985-2020. The main conclusion of this study was that while there are many similarities between the two countries' course plans, they differ in the amount of guiding they yield for the teachers. The Finnish course plans also include more obligatory parts about Finnish history, in contrast to the Swedish which barely touches the subject. Finally, the most distinct change over time is the shift towards a more source-critical point of view when it comes to the importance of the history subject.
