Demokratiopplæringen i samfunnsfag og det aktive demokratiske medborgerskapet. En kvalitativ studie av samfunnsfaglærerers tanker og perspektiver rundt hva som skal vektlegges i demokratiopplæringen i samfunnsfag for at elever skal kunne utvikle et aktivt demokratisk medborgerskap

Abstract

Formålet med denne masteroppgaven er å undersøke problemstillingen: «Hvilke tanker og perspektiver har samfunnsfaglærere på hva som skal vektlegges i demokratiopplæringen isamfunnsfag for at elever skal kunne utvikle et aktivt demokratisk medborgerskap?». Studiens bakgrunn er knyttet til samfunnsfagets sentrale rolle for å danne aktive demokratiske medborgere i skolen, samt fagfornyelsens fokus på demokratiopplæring i samfunnsfag (Kunnskapsdepartementet, 2019, s. 1-6). Jeg har benyttet meg av en kvalitativ forskningstilnærming i studien. Dataen ble samlet inn gjennom semi-strukturerte intervjuer av 6 samfunnsfaglærere som arbeider på ungdomstrinnet. Det første funnet fra datamaterialet antyder at samfunnsfagslærere vektlegger ulike aspekter av medborgerskapet ulikt i deres definisjon på hva et aktivt demokratisk medborgerskap i skolen skal innebære. Deres vektlegging av ulike aspekter på hva et aktivt demokratisk medborgerskap i skolen skal innebære, gjenspeiler ulike medborgerskapsidealer som lærere i skolen ønsker å danne. Politisk informert, rasjonelt autonomt, personlig ansvarlig- og aksjonsorientert medborgerskap er de idealene av medborgerskapet som samsvarer best med informantens tanker og perspektiver på hva et aktivt demokratisk medborgerskap i skolen innebærer. Det andre funnet viser at samfunnsfagslærerne vektlegger demokratiopplæringen i samfunnsfag ulikt, utifra hva de selv anser som relevant for å kunne danne aktive demokratiske medborgere i skolen. Opplæring for demokrati er den opplæringsstrategien informantene vektlegger mest i demokratiopplæringen i samfunnsfaget. Her blir ferdigheter som å ytre egne meninger og respektere andres meninger, samt evnen til kritisk tenking, sett på som sentrale ferdigheter å utvikle, for å kunne være en aktiv medborger i det demokratiske samfunnet vi lever i idag. Det siste funnet viser at opplæring gjennom demokrati, i form av at elever skal få erfare ulike demokratiske prosesser gjennom deltakelse, er den opplæringsstrategien samfunnsfaglærerene i studien bruker minst tid på i demokratiundervisningen. Teori og tidligere forskning konkluderer med at lite fokus på praktisering av demokratiske prosesser i skolen gjennom deltakelse, er bekymringsverdig i møte med samfunnsfagets formål med å danne aktive og demokratiske medborgere i skolen (Sætra & Stray, 2019; Keating & Janmaat, 2015; Ødegård & Svagård, 2018). Abstract: The purpose of this master´s thesis is to investigate the question: “What thoughts and perspectives do social studies teachers have regarding the emphasis on democracy education in order for social studies to foster active democratic citizens?” The background of the study is linked to the central role of social studies in developing active democratic citizens in schools, as well as the curriculum renewal´s focus on democracy education in social studies (Kunnskapsdepartementet, 2019, s. 1-6). I have employed a qualitative research approach in this study. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 6 social studies teachers working in lower secondary education. The initial findings from the dataset suggest that social studies teachers emphasize different aspects of citizenship in their definition of what active democratic citizenship in schools should entail. Their emphasis on different aspects of what active democratic citizenship in schools should entail reflects various ideals of citizenship that teachers in schools aim to foster. Political-informed, rational-autonomous, personally responsible, and action-oriented citizenship are the ideals of citizenship that best align with the informant´s thoughts and perspectives on what active democratic citizenship in schools should entail. The second finding reveals that social studies teachers prioritize democracy education in social studies differently based on what they consider relevant for fostering active and democratic citizens in schools. Education for democracy is the instructional strategy that the informants prioritize the most in democracy education within social studies. Skills such as expressing one´s own opinions, respecting others’ opinions, and the ability to think critically are seen as crucial skills to develop in order to be an active citizen in today´s democratic society. The last finding indicates that education trough democracy, involving students experiencing various democratic processes trough participation, is the instructional strategy that social studies teachers in the study allocate the least amount of time to in democracy instruction. Theory and previous research suggest that a lack of emphasis on the practice of democratic processes in schools is concerning in relation to the purpose of social studies in fostering active and democratic citizens in schools (Sætra & Stray, 2019; Keating & Janmaat, 2015; Ødegård & Svagård, 2018).
