Kulturen i fokus : en mikroetnografisk studie om mötet mellan musiklärare och elevgrupper

Sammanfattning: This micro-ethnographic study looks at the meetings between different cultures in the music classroom and how these can be characterised. It deals with what happens in the meeting between music teacher and student groups, given that the music teacher does not have so much teaching time with the students compared with teachers in other subjects. The purpose of the study was to raise awareness around the notion of leadership in the music classroom. In the study, six different music lessons in three different classrooms are analysed. Observations were recorded as field notes and sound recordings. Informal discussions with music teachers were also conducted in order to achieve as broad an empiricism as possible. The results of the study illustrate different approaches to discipline and leadership in the music classroom, how these might shape different class cultures, and the consequences that follow from this.
