Abstract [sv]

Denna studie undersöker motivationsfaktorer och tankar kring skönlitterär läsning hos ett urval av elever i årskurs 3, studien syftar även till att kartlägga elevernas läsvanor. 11 elever deltog i studien och har under semistrukturerade intervjuer svarat på frågor kring läsvanor, om de har några böcker i sin hemmiljö, hur de tar del av skönlitteratur i vardagen och vad de anser kännetecknar en bra bok. Studiens resultat placeras in i en sociokulturell teoriram med huvudsaklig grund i begreppen proximal utvecklingszon och scaffolding.

Resultatet visar att det primärt är yttre motivationsfaktorer, såsom beslut från lärare och vårdnadshavare, som motiverar elever till läsning. Studien visar även att det kan finnas ett visst samband mellan elevers läslust och hur många böcker en elev exponeras för, samt om de har läsande förebilder. Vidare visar resultatet att läsläxor kan ha en positiv inverkan på elevers läsvanor i hemmiljön. Resultatet står i linje med tidigare undersökningar gjorda i högre årskurser och internationell forskning. En ansats har gjorts för att hitta liknande studier gjorda i de yngre årskurserna utan närmare resultat. Detta tyder på att ämnet är till synes outforskat i Sverige och Norden.

Abstract [en]

This study investigates motivational factors and thoughts about fiction reading in a selection of students in year 3, the study also aims to map the students' reading habits. 11 students participated in the study and during semi-structured interviews answered questions about reading habits, whether they have any books in their home environment, how they partake of fiction in everyday life and what they consider to be the characteristics of a good book. The study's results are placed in a sociocultural theoretical framework with a main basis in the concepts of proximal zone of development and scaffolding.

The results show that it is primarily external motivational factors, such as decisions by teachers and guardians, that motivate students to read. The study also shows that there can be a certain connection between students' desire to read and how many books a student is exposed to, as well as whether they have reading role models. Furthermore, the results show that fiction reading as homework can have a positive impact on students' reading habits in the home environment. The result is in line with previous surveys carried out in higher grades and international research. An attempt has been made to find similar studies done in the younger grades without any results. This indicates that the subject is apparently unexplored in Sweden and the Nordic countries.
