Reading education from a teacher´s perspective : A study of teachers' perceptions of differences in boys' and girls' reading attitudes in grades 1-3 (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna studies syfte var att öka kunskapen om lärares uppfattningar kring pojkars och flickors attityder och eventuella resultatskillnader inom läsning och läsförståelse. Detta gjordes med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem lärare. Tidigare forskning visar att det finns skillnader mellan pojkars och flickors attityder till läsning. Miljön omkring eleverna kan ha en stor påverkan på attityden till läsning. Gällande resultatskillnader visar forskning att flickor presterar bättre än pojkar. Pojkar anser att läsning är något som görs av flickor och kvinnliga lärare. Sociokulturellt perspektiv ramar in studien. Resultatet visade att lärare upplevde att viss skillnad fanns men då gällande attityder. Lärare ansåg inte att de märkte någon resultatskillnad gällande pojkar och flickor i sina klasser. Lärare beskrev att de inte medvetet funderat på ifall det fanns skillnader mellan pojkars och flickors resultat, vilket kan varit orsaken till att de inte har uppfattat några skillnader i sina klasser. Slutsatsen var att lärare såg en viss skillnad gällande attityder till läsning och läsförståelse, men inte gällande resultatskillnader. Trots det visar nationella och internationella tester att det finns en skillnad. Lärarnas omedvetenhet kan vara ett resultat av normer i samhället, vilket betyder att problemet behöver synliggöras och medvetandegöras för att kunna förändras. Detta för att garantera en likvärdig utbildning för både pojkar och flickor.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to increase our knowledge of how teachers view boys’ and girls’ attitudes about reading and possible reading comprehension. This study was based on interviews with a total of five teachers. Previous research shows that there are differences between boys’ and girls’ attitudes towards reading. The environment around the students can have a big impact on the attitude to reading. Previous research shows that girls generally are better at reading than boys. There is a general attitude amongst boys that reading is something only girls and female teachers do. A sociocultural perspective framed this study. The results of the study show that teachers to some extent agree on that boys and girls have different attitudes towards reading. They all stated that they had not noticed obvious differences in results between genders in their classes. The teachers that were interviewed had not consciously contemplated whether there were any differences in results between boys and girls. The conclusion is that teachers see a certain difference in attitude towards reading and reading comprehension, but not regarding difference in results. National and international tests show that there is a difference in results. Teachers´ unawareness can be a result of norms in society, which means that teachers need to be aware of the problem to be able to change it. This is to ensure an equal education for boys and girls.
