Musik i den pedagogiska verksamheten på förskolan. : En kvalitativ studie om förskollärares uppfattningar av musik i den pedagogiska verksamheten samt förändringarna i läroplanen kring de estetiska ämnena.

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this study is to contribute with knowledge about what perceptions the preschool teachers have about the pedagogical activities in music, and what perceptions exist about the changes in the new curriculum within the subject of music and what they can contribute to. The survey has been conducted with semi-structured interviews in order to be able to conduct extensive discussions about how preschool teachers perceive or understand something. The material has been analyzed using a phenomenographic analysis model in seven steps. The result of this study shows that music is often used as a method in preschool activities, and rarely as a learning object. It also shows that the uncertainty of preschool teachers contributes to less teaching in the subject of music. Changes in the curriculum show very different ideas about how changes will be made in the subject of music in preschool. One side is that it is a rewording that does not contribute to any change in the activities at preschool. While the other side believes that a major change needs to be made to reach the curriculum goals within the subject. My conclusion is that there is less knowledge about the basics of music and the concepts used in music education. This can help to ensure that the goals in the new curriculum (Skolverket, 2018) cannot be met.
