Värdegrund genom sci-fi : En didaktisk analys av fyra science fiction-noveller med utgångspunkt i gymnasieskolans värdegrund

The aim of this essay is to explore the possibilities of using science fiction short stories when discussing the morals and values prescribed by the Swedish curriculum for upper secondary level. The two main focus points are pinpointing the ways in which the four short stories depict cognitive estrangement, and examining how these elements of cognitive estrangement aid in the use of these stories in the classroom. A hermeneutic method, in which the material is analyzed and interpreted from a didactic viewpoint, is used to achieve these two goals. Through the analysis of the four short stories, values such as tolerance, responsibility, autonomy, and understanding others’ viewpoints can be found, and the illustrations are well suited for a variety of topics for discussion in a classroom scenario. These values are illustrated through the fictious environments and situations that signify the science fiction genre – the element of cognitive estrangement.
