Att byta styrdokument: En studie om hur Läroplan för gymnasieskola 2011 påverkar undervisningen och betygsättningen i och statusen för kursen Instrument eller sång

Sammanfattning: The aim of this essay is to study how the teaching and grading of the course instrument or singing correspond with the curriculum for upper secondary school 2011 and if it has meant that the teachers have changed their pedagogical work. My aim is also to find out if the new curriculum brought any change to the status of the course and the teacher’s role. I have made qualitative interviews with three instumental teachers of the arts programme, of whom two work at two different public schools and one at a free school. The current curriculum and the governments bills, together with other researchers’ categorizations of different kinds of teachers, learning and grading, are this essay’s theoretical approach. The results of the interviews and the theoretical background have led to my conclusion which implies that if you change your pedagogical work because of the curriculum for upper secondary school 2011, you can choose to focus on which parts of the renewal that best suit your pedagogical ideology, since the new curriculum allows you to personally interpret it.
