"We are going to talk about gender" : A study of teachers' constructions of gender and music education (English)
Abstract [sv]

Föreliggande studie har som syfte att undersöka hur musiklärare samtalar om skolans genusuppdrag i relation till undervisning i musik. Studiens teoretiska ram utgörs av genusteorier och ett socialkonstruktionistiskt perspektiv. Datamaterialet har insamlats genom två fokusgruppsintervjuer där kvinnliga och manliga musiklärare från olika utbildningsnivåer och inriktningar diskuterat genus och musikundervisning. Den data som har genererats ur gruppintervjuerna har bearbetats och analyserats med hjälp av diskursanalytiska redskap med fokus på lärarnas syn på genus och musikundervisning. I resultatet presenteras flera små diskurser som belyser de förhållningssätt som lärarna har på sig själva, sitt uppdrag och sina elever. Resultatet visar att lärarna strävar efter genusmedvetenhet och individfokus, men upplever sig tillbakahållna av fasta biologiska faktorer samt känner en uppgivenhet kring historiska strukturer som lever kvar, en rädsla över maktförhållanden och en uppfattning om genus som ett svårt och komplicerat ämne. Sammanfattningsvis förstås genus som någonting abstrakt och paradoxalt. I praktiska sammanhang brottas lärarna med uppfattningar och idéer kring genus som är svåra att konkretisera. I diskussionen lyfts två sammanfattande och kontrasterande diskurser fram som det eftersträvansvärda och det biologiskt fastställda samt kampen mellan diskurserna

Abstract [en]

This study explores how music teachers converse about the school´s gender mission in relation to music education. The theoretical frame of the study is gender theories and a social constructionism. The data for the study has been collected through two focus group interviews where female and male music teachers from different educational levels and specializations discuss gender and music education. The data generated from the focus group interviews has been processed and analysed with discourse analytical tools with a focus on the teachers’ views on gender and music education. The result show several smaller discourses that show the views the teachers have on themselves, their mission and their students. The result shows that the teachers strive for gender awareness and a focus on individuals, but that they also feel held back by fixed biological elements and that they feel resigned towards historical structures that remain strong, a fear of power relations and a perception of gender as a difficult and complicated subject. In conclusion gender is understood as something abstract and contradictory. In practical arrangements the teachers struggle with perceptions and ideas about gender that are difficult to concretize. In the discussion two contradicting discourses are highlighted as the aspirational and the biologically fixed, and the struggle between the discourses
