Lgr11 –  Vägen till en modern skola? : En undersökning om lärares uppfattningar i samband med införandet av lgr11

Sammanfattning: The investigation has taken starting point in the Swedish school history by a look back at the last three curricula and its rating system in order to see the differences and similarities between them. Furthermore, the focus was on the implementation of lgr11 and how it has worked out both on the national and local levels, with the help of, among other things Imsens "five faces of the curriculum" and Lipsky theories of grassroots bureaucrats. The aim of the study was to investigate teachers' perceptions of differences in teaching and assessment in grades 7-9, during the changeover from Lpo94 both on lgr11. The questions developed for this purpose was: How do teachers say that their teaching changed in conjunction with curriculum change? Has there been a refocusing about the concept of knowledge in the curriculum shift, and if so, how? How the assessment and grading did change with the curriculum change? Data collection has been made using a quantitative survey with qualitative elements. The survey consisted of 10 questions that everyone faces the transition to lgr11. The questions were directed towards the concept of knowledge, grades, assessment, workload and teaching more.   The survey responses indicate that many teachers have found the transition to lgr11 relatively smooth, but the workload was heavy before the new system has been incorporated. Regarding implementation, the survey shows that it worked well with the staff but they feel that many students and parents are still in the thinking learning that was dominant in Lpo94. The criticism that clearly emerged was against the grading system, not against the new knowledge that the students are assessed after or new assessment methods introduced. The criticism is instead directed toward how the grading system is constructed, many teachers had wanted to see the knowledge requirements for all stages and not only for E, C and A. In addition, many teachers now think that their subject demands more of the students and that there now bigger focus on really understand the subject matter the teaching is built around, which they believe was not the case in Lpo94.
