Kön, socioekonomisk bakgrund, etnicitet och sexualitet - Viktiga aspekter att belysa i religionsutbildning, men hur? 

En kvalitativ studie av lärarnas undervisning om ett centralt innehåll i religionsvetenskap 1

 

Studien syftar till att öka kunskapen om hur ämneslärare i religion ser på de möjligheter och utmaningar som finns i undervisningen av det centrala innehållet "Religion i relation till kön, socioekonomisk bakgrund, etnicitet och sexualitet" som ingår i kursen "Religionsvetenskap 1" och på vilka sätt de förankrar detta praktiskt i sin undervisning, i gymnasieskolan. Det är en kvalitativ studie där intervjuer med en semistrukturerad stil som metod. Fem religionskunskapslärare på fyra gymnasieskolor i södra Sverige har intervjuats. Resultaten analyserades med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och diskuteras i relation till tidigare forskning och läroplansteori, vilket är studiens teoretiska perspektiv. Resultaten visade att lärarna påpekade att undervisning i religionsvetenskap och i detta specifika centrala innehåll bidrar till viktiga diskussioner i klassrummet. Lärarna kan arbeta mer nyanserat och behandla religion ur ett individ-perspektiv. Utmaningarna som lärarna pekar på gällande undervisning i detta kunskapskrav är att det kan väcka starka känslor, vilket kan vara överväldigande för vissa elever. Elever kan också få sin världsbild och uppfattning utmanad, vilket kan vara problematiskt. Externa faktorer som påverkar undervisningen är bristen på tid. Exempel på hur lärarna förankrar detta centrala innehåll praktiskt i sin undervisning innefattar diskussioner, skriftliga uppgifter och uppgifter relaterade till de fyra aspekterna. Resultatet visar även på att flera av lärarna inte ser detta kunskapskrav som åtskilt från de andra kunskapskraven.

ABSTRACT

Hjerpe, Madeleine

Gender, socio-economic background, ethnicity and sexuality - Important aspects to highlight in religious education, but how?

A qualitative study of teachers' teaching of a central content in Religious Studies 1

 

The study aims to increase knowledge about how subject teachers in religion view the opportunities and challenges that exist in teaching the central content "Religion in relation to gender, socio-economic background, ethnicity and sexuality" which is included in the course "Religious Studies 1" and in what ways they anchor this practically in their teaching, in upper secondary education. This research is a qualitative study using interviews with a semi structured style as a method. Five Religious Studies teachers, in four schools in the south of Sweden have been interviewed. The results were analyzed by using a qualitative content analysis and discussed in relation to the literature and curriculum theory, which is the study’s theoretical perspective. The results showed that the teachers point out that teaching in religious studies and in this specific central content contributes to important discussions in the classroom. The teachers can work in a more nuanced way and treat religion from an individual perspective. The challenges that the teachers point out when teaching this knowledge requirement are that it can arouse strong emotions, which can be overwhelming for some students. Students can also have their worldview and perception challenged, which can be problematic. External factors that affect the teaching is the lack of time. Examples of how the teachers anchor this central content practically in their teaching involves discussions, written assignments and assignments related to the four aspects. It also appears that many of the teachers do not see this knowledge requirement as separate from the other knowledge requirements.
