Regarding the theoretical approach there where two different theories used, one to understand the material, and one to understand the results. To understand the material, mediatisation theory was used. To comprehend the results, a didactical theory was used. The result points towards a fragmented view regarding modern culture within the laestadian movement, based upon a media context. Also, seen through a didactic perspective, the result ought to address some sort of reflection about the didactical choices when teaching pupils with a restricted view upon modern culture, this despite of religious affiliation.
