Attityder gentemot jämställdhetsarbete : En studie av gymnasieelevers syn på skolans arbete kring jämställdhet, genus och könsnormer.

Sammanfattning: Sweden is to be considered one of the world's most equal countries. Equal rights that are based on laws and regulations, access to public platforms and equal school for all despite gender. The Swedish school, and like all other parts of society strive for gender equality. It states quite clear how the school's gender equality work should be prioritized. However, there are studies that show that the sexualized language in schools is becoming more and more severe. During the Me too-movment (2017) it became clear that teachers and students have been subjected to sexual harassment. With that said, there aren’t many studies asking teenagers how extensive they consider the school's gender equality work to be.      This study aims to draw attention to attitudes around the school's work of gender, gender norms and gender equality. The study also aims to create a frame of reference of how well these cross-disciplinary concepts are integrated into the school's other core subjects based on the students' own attitudes. This has been done through a quantitative web-survey with the goal to explain how teenagers´ attitudes are established and reproduced. Based on the results of the study, we can see that boys and girls to some extent have the same attitudes and perception towards what is considered masculine and feminine. How gender is created also has an impact, and the conception specific gender roles that are created is primarily negative, especially according to the group of girls. In general, teenagers believe that the scope of gender equality work is either deficient or at best mediocre. The conclusions that can be drawn from this study are that it is important that gender equality work has to be expanded and that it is to those who are to take part that of the information, in this case the teenagers, that should be turned to for ensuring that the work that is actually done is received.
