ANT-undervisning : ett utmanande möte mellan tonåringen och vuxenvärlden

Sammanfattning: The purpose of our thesis was to examine how the drug-education at the senior level of compulsory school was constructed, seen from its purpose and apprehension of its influence. This considering the existing conditions for the school personnel and the pupils to reach each other in the educational situation. We wanted to describe this from both groups point of view. Essential questions were: · What is the purpose of drug-education given in school and what strategies are being used to achieve this? · How does the school personnel believe that the drug-education effects the pupils and why? · What does the pupils believe affects them in their choice whether to drink alcohol and/or take other drugs or not? · How does the pupils respectively the school personnel want the drug-education to be? Our method was a qualitative case study based on interviews with pupils and school personnel. Concerning the drug-education, there was no common explicit purpose among the interviewees and there seemed to be two dominant strategies. The school personnel believed that the pupils perceived the drug-education as positive, while neither one of them believed that it had any direct effect. Both pupils and school personnel wished to change the drug-education and expressed a number of suggestions how to achieve this.
