Goals. The aim with the study was to examine how the textbooks in ethics follow the guidelines of the national curriculum. This is important to study since the textbooks analyzed have all been published about 10 years ago. In society there is a discussion about how worldview education should be organized, alone or together with religion education. Earlier research also shows that ethics has a great value as a subject. Methods. For my study I used a qualitative content analysis method, where I analyzed four textbooks in worldview education for grade 1-5. the textbooks are all from the series Mina och Ville, and are published between the years 2007 and 2013. I have also analyzed the different goals set up for worldview education in the curriculum for grades 1-6, and the different competences set up by the national curriculum. Results and conclusions. The analysis showed that the textbooks in worldview education follow the national curriculums goals and competences well. The textbooks are built on the national curriculum, and include many curriculum goals and competences. Even though the textbooks focus on the content of the national curriculums, there is still missing representation of different body-types and sexualities. The characters in the textbooks are two children without any disabilities, and are both white. In the photos in the textbooks many different ethnicities are shown and discussed, but nothing about different body-types or sexualities
