  • Det omvända perspektivet : En normkritisk analys av läroböcker i historia för årskurserna 5 och 6. 
    Liljeström, Pamela (2022)
    This study focuses on how Swedish-language textbooks in history describe Westerns, especially Europe and European in relation to other parts of the world. Previous research has shown that the textbooks used in Finnish schools focus on a Eurocentric view of the world. Postcolonial theory is used as background information to highlight the issue of an Eurocentric world view and what it leads to. The textbooks are analyzed using norm pedagogical theories to enlighten which norms are presented in the books. The textbooks assume that the reader is from West and that’s why norm pedagogical theory is used together with postcolonial theory. In this study two different series of books in history for grades 5 and 6 in elementary school are analyzed. The sample consists of both text- and workbooks. The method used for the sample was thematic analysis. The method is known for identifying common themes in the sample. Recurring themes confirm the Westerners superior status in the history books. The examples that are presented in the result show that people are put in unequal positions depending on where they come from. When the textbooks talk about religion they refer to Christians, the poor are described poor on a Western scale and men are still portrayed as more superior than women. The textbooks use statements that strengthen the Eurocentric world view.
  • Läroböcker i livsåskådningskunskap : En innehållsanalys om ämnets läroböcker 
    Lång, Sofia (2021)
    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
