Vad är fostransuppdraget egentligen? : En kvalitativ studie om lärares syn på och implementering av fostransuppdraget och värdegrundsfrågor i undervisningen

Sammanfattning: This study aimed to investigate how teachers work methodically in subjects such as social studies and mathematics in high school, with the educational task of educating students to become good democratic citizens. According to the National Agency for Education's curriculum, the educational task of educating students to become adequate democratic citizens should permeate all subjects in school. In addition, the study aimed to investigate how these teachers worked to implement fundamental value issues in their teaching. The results of the survey indicate that there are no major differences between the subjects in how teachers work with various assignments in education and values. It rather reflects the personal values, personality, and interests among teachers. Therefore, clearer guidelines for teachers would have been preferable when it comes to the upbringing assignment and fundamental value issues in order to gain an increased understanding and meaning of the assignments themselves, both for students and teachers.
