Fritidslärarens yrkesroll : En studie av grundskolelärares förståelse för och attityd till fritidslärarens yrkesroll och hur den kan påverka samverkan mellan skola och fritids

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study, The after-school care teacher’s professional role - A study of  primary school teachers understanding and attitudes towards the after-school care teachers professional role and how that can affect collaboration between the school and after-school care, is to illustrate the understanding and attitudes towards after-school care teachers found with primary school teachers. Another purpose is to examine in what way the understanding and the attitudes can affect the collaboration between school and after-school care as well as the after-school care teachers ability to operate professionally. I have chosen to conduct a qualitative study through questionnaires and one interview. This study is built on a social costructivistic perspective. The results show that the understanding and attitudes found with primary school teachers do effect the possibilities of cooperation between the school and after-school care. Mostly the understanding of the professional role of the after-school care teacher can be found to be quite good whilst the attitudes show that primary school teachers see the after-school care teacher as having more of a supporting role to the primary school teacher.
