Att arbeta på fritidshemmet med en dubbel yrkesroll : En kvalitativ studie om upplevelser av en dubbel yrkesroll och dess utmaningar och möjligheter

Sammanfattning: In this study we examine the experience of working with a two-sided assignment as a leisure time teacher. The dual profession involves teaching a subject during school hours and working during the afternoon hours in the school-age educare center. By using interview as a qualitative method, we interview five teachers with subject qualification, who either actively work, or have worked, in both fields. The purpose of this study aims to explore the role of being a school-age educare teacher with subject qualifications and the possibilities and challenges they may come across in their daily work. We aim to answer three questions: which prerequisites do school-age educare teachers think are needed to be able to work with both assignments? What possibilities and challenges occur with a dual profession? How does a dual profession function during daily work? The results show that school-age educare teachers are positive towards the dual profession and that the many challenges are manageable with the right requisites. The results are analyzed by using new-institutional theory and concepts from frame factor theory. Our conclusion is that this dual profession takes a toll on the school-age educare teacher and demands a lot of their energy, but enough proper requisites can provide for a safer, better teaching environment among the pupils and teachers.
