To pass or not, that is the question : Teachers' thoughts about the new curriculum in sfi (English)
Abstract [sv]

Den 1 januari 2022 implementerade Skolverket en ny kursplan för delar av vuxenutbildningen. Denna nya kursplan innebar en övergång från en femgradig betygsskala (A-E) till en tvågradig(G-IG) med förhoppningar om att detta skulle öka elevernas genomströmning. Eftersom förändringar av detta slag får stor betydelse för både lärare och elever har syftet med studien varit att undersöka sfi-lärares tankar om denna förändring och om de upplever att Skolverkets målsättning har realiserats. Studien utgår ifrån en kombination av frirums- och läroplansteori för att analysera hur lärarna upplever och tolkar den nya kursplanen i relation till sitt professionella handlingsutrymme. Resultatet baseras på kvalitativa intervjuer med 5 sfi-lärare som har erfarenhet av både den gamla och den nya kursplanen. Resultatet av studien antyder att lärarnas handlingsutrymme har expanderat till följd av att den nya kursplanen implementerades. Dessutom upplevs kunskapskraven ha sänkts, vilket lärarna framför allt upplever i kurs B där genomströmningen har ökat till en nivå som skapar problem på de senare kurserna då elevgrupperna blir för stora för lärarna att hantera. Dessutom framgår att det är skolverksamheternas egna direktiv som i huvudsak begränsar lärarna. Ju fler lärare som arbetar med samma elever desto större krav på faktorer som styr arbetssättet, vilket innebär att lärare som arbetar på distans generellt upplever att de har mer frihet att planera sin undervisning jämfört med lärare som arbetar med reguljär undervisning. Resultatet antyder därmed att ens handlingsutrymme till viss del förhandlas i kollegiet.

Abstract [en]

On 1 January 2022, the Swedish National Agency for Education implemented a new curriculum for parts of adult education. This new curriculum involved a move from a five-point grading scale (A-E) to a two-point (G-IG) with hope that it would increase student throughflow. Since changes of this kind are of great importance to both teachers and students, the purpose of the study has been to investigate sfi-teacher’s thoughts about this change and whether they feel that the National Education Agency's goals have been realized. The study is based on a combination of free-space and curriculum theory to analyze how the teachers experience and interpret the new curriculum in relation to their professional room for action. The result is based on qualitative interviews with 5 sfi-teachers who have experience with both the old and the new curriculum. The results of the study suggest that the teachers' room for action has expanded as a result of the new curriculum being implemented. In addition, the knowledge requirements are perceived to have been lowered, which the teachers especially experience in course B where the throughflow has increased to a level that creates problems in the later courses when the student groups become too large for the teachers to handle. In addition, it appears that it is the school operations' own directives that mainly limit the teachers. The more teachers who work with the same students, the greater the demands on factors that govern the way of working, which means that teachers who teach on distance generally feel that they have more freedom to plan their teaching compared to teachers who work with regular teaching, which has to do with that the distance teachers work individually. The result suggests that one’s room for action, is to some extent negotiated in the college.
