Inte jag, men andra kanske... : En undersökning om läromedel och likvärdighet i bildämnet årskurs 7-9

Sammanfattning: This essay aims to examine the themes of teaching aids and equivalence as related to the subject Art in Swedish primary school years 7-9. Four art teachers were interviewed in a semi-structured form with questions formulated based on the aim as well as the background. The results were analyzed based on a theoretical framework consisting of hermeneutics, the “expanded concept of knowledge”, didactics, and mediation and artifacts. The analysis of the results was that the responding teachers did not want published teaching aids, while also stating the need for other teachers. The respondents also highlighted that equivalence was deficient in the subject of Art overall. The discussion that follows is that an increased amount of published teaching materials may provide a path towards equivalence in the subject of Art grades 7-9.
