Studien undersøker hvordan lek og læring fremstilles i nasjonale styringsdokumenter for den norske skolefritidsordningen (SFO) i perioden 1993–2023. Formelle styringsdokumenter ble utvalgt og analysert ved bruk av The READ Approach. Resultatene viser at betydningen av lek og læring hovedsakelig formuleres i dokumentene fra delperiodene 1993–1999 og 2017–2023. I den første perioden beskrives lek som fri barneutfoldelse. Beskrivelsene fremstår som ateoretiske og peker mot en lek-under-tilsyn-tilnærming. Læring er ikke nevnt i dokumentene fra denne perioden. I dokumentene fra den siste perioden tas det utgangspunkt i forskningsbaserte utredninger om lek og læring i SFO. Lek begrunnes ut fra dens egenverdi og tillegges en sentral betydning for barns læring. Læring beskrives ut fra et helhetlig læringssyn, men det åpnes for målstyrt læring gjennom læringsstøttende aktiviteter. Forfatteren fremhever behovet for dypere kunnskap om sammenhengen mellom lek og læring i SFO, og anbefaler aksjonsforskningsprosjekt som involverer både forskere og aktører i praksisfeltet. English abstract «Good Care and Adequate Supervision are not Enough to Fulfil the Purpose of ASP» – Play and Learning in National Government Documents for the Norwegian After-School Program The study explores how play and learning appear in national governing documents for the Norwegian after-school program (ASP) during the period 1993–2023. Formal documents were selected and analyzed using the READ approach. The results show that the meanings of play and learning are mainly formulated in the documents from the sub-periods 1993–1999 and 2017–2023. In the first period, play is portrayed as free child expression. The descriptions appear atheoretical and point towards a play-under-surveillance approach. Learning is not mentioned in the documents from this period. The documents from the last period contain research-based explanations of play and learning. Play is justified based on its own value and is attributed importance in children’s learning. Learning in ASP is described from a holistic learning perspective but is also linked to goal-directed activities. The author highlights the need for deeper knowledge about the relationship between play and learning in ASP, and recommends carrying out action research projects that involve both researchers and actors in the field of practice.
