Att vara eller icke vara i dialog med världen / To be or not to be in dialog with the world

This study by the name “To be or not to be in dialogue with the world” is based on our interest in Biesta´s theories, more specifically about relational pedagogy. The empirical material consists of 21 public lessons in visual arts for high school taken from lektionsbanken.se. Through a qualitative text analysis we wanted to answer the questions: What functions does the lessons have that are described in the lesson plan? What opportunities to exist in the world in an adult way emerge? And lastly what research space is there for the student. In our result we have been able to shed light on how three teaching functions which Biesta calls qualification, socialization and subjectification, are expressed in our 21 public lessons, and then discuss what pedagogical implications it may have if one of these three functions becomes dominant in a lesson. Based on this we have used Biestas theory about a communicational gap where learning takes place, which involves risktaking.  In the space Biesta calls the gap which is a spectrum between – world destroyer and self destroyer on extreme opposite ends, it is recommended for both teachers and students to try to stay in the middle zone where we as humans can be in dialogue with the world in an adult way. In order for teachers to work with Biesta´s positive view of risk, great demands are placed on teachers who need courage to let go and let the risk take its place in their teaching. One way to work with risk and practice this is to put more focus on the process instead of on the result and the end product, which can become a problem in a goal-oriented school.
