"Vilken hjärna tänker du med egentligen?" : En vetenskaplig essä om hur vi kommunicerar framför eleverna

Sammanfattning: This essay will reflect upon communication and conduct in different ways. The essay is based on a dilemma that is difficult to assess since it addresses a situation where I, in my role as a leisure-time teacher, react upon how a colleague treats a young student. The purpose of the essay is to try to analyze the dilemma viewed from different perspectives in hope to gain an understanding of how we can look at communication in more than one way. How should educators communicate in front of the students, and what is a good way to treat one another? In the essay the dilemma is discussed from different perspectives such as power relations, but also fronesis and practical knowledge. In order to be able to go into depth with regard to interpretation and understanding of this experience, I will look to Hans-Georg Gadamer to illustrate the dilemma based on the hermeneutical approach. The method of this thesis is essay-writing, which consists in reflection with the help of relevant literature, with starting point in an experience that is difficult to assess.
