Läroplanens dramatiska kurva : En dramapedagogisk läsning av Lgr 11

Sammanfattning: This study investigates what value educational drama is given in the current national curricula for the compulsory school in Sweden, Lgr 11 and how that relates to a similar study of the four previous curricula. The background to the study presents Mia Marie F. Sternudds disseratiton Dramapedagogik som demokratisk fostran? and uses the four perspectives on educational drama and the analysis of four earlier national curricula, Lgr 62, Lgr 69, Lgr 80 and Lpo 94. The four perspectives are presented along with other definitions of educational drama in Sweden to form the base of analysis in this study; the drama-imperative. The background also presents different epistemological views as a way to show how educational drama relates to a more progressive view on knowledge than traditional education in school. Ivan Illich’s Deschooling Society serves as a counter-weight to traditional education in the background. The results show that all four perspectives of educational drama can be found in Lgr 11, but in varying strength, the discussion suggests that it means that Lgr 11 is open for educational drama but does not explicitly suggest so. This also relates to Sternudds findings which show a movement towards a more progressive epistemological view in the curricula but without necessarily relating this to educational drama.
