"Aha, nu fattar jag!" : En fenomenografisk undersökning av åtta niondeklassares uppfattningar av personligt utvecklande lärande.

Sammanfattning: We aim in this study, which is based on a special educational perspective, to examin how ninth grade students perceive their own developmental learning, i.e learning that leads forward. In the process, we want to give the students a voice and we have therefore chosen a phenomenographical approach. The study is based on eight interviews, which are analyzed by means of our own tool for analysis based on, among others Vygotsky (1980, 1999), Cole (1986) and Flavell (2002).   The survey shows that students perceive that clear aims, a good relationship with and support from the teacher helps to improve their developmental learning, motivating them and making learning meaningful. The students also recognize that the socio-cultural environment contribute to their development, but find it difficult to influence how their own learning will take place. The eight students exhibit a vague connection between their developmental learning and their individual grade.
