”I usually don’t speak to anyone about the things I read” : A qualitative study on students perceptions of critical literacy (English)
Abstract [sv]

Skolans uppdrag är att främja identitetsutveckling, som syftar till att eleverna ska bli ansvarstagande, initiativtagande, självständiga och aktiva samhällsmedborgare.  Genom critical literacyundervisning kan lärare ge elever möjlighet att utveckla sin förmåga att arbeta kritiskt med genus, etnicitet, maktrelationer, klass och identitet. Elever möter många olika litterära och multimodala texter både i och utanför skolan. Studien syftar därmed till att öka kunskapen om elevers uppfattningar av critical literacy. Syftet ämnas uppnås genom två olika frågeställningar: 

·       Hur uppfattar elever texter utifrån de olika aspekterna som ingår i critical literacy, till exempel genus, makt och etnicitet? 

·       Hur upplever elever critical literacyundervisningen? 

Studien är en kvalitativ studie, vars datainsamling är gjord genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med sju elever i årskurs 2 – 3. En fenomenografisk ansats användes för att undersöka elevernas uppfattningar. Materialet analyserades genom en tematisk analys, men den sociokulturella teorin genomsyrar arbetet. Studiens slutsatser är att eleverna hade skilda uppfattningar av critical literacy och de olika aspekterna. Många av de elever som deltog i studien diskuterade inte böcker och filmer med andra, om det inte var så att de uppmanades till det. I mötet med olika texter använde eleverna strategier som att läsa mellan raderna för att skapa mening, men de är inte medvetna om att de gör det. Eleverna gör intratextuella och intertextuella kopplingar, men anser själva att de inte tar erfarenheterna med sig. Elevernas uppfattningar av undervisningen skilde sig också åt, slutsatsen som kan dras av det är att de elever som läste mycket och som diskuterade de olika aspekterna under intervjuerna uppfattade critical literacymoment i undervisningen mer än de andra eleverna. Eleverna exemplifierade olika metoder som de använder i undervisningen för att bearbeta texter. 

Abstract [en]

The schools’ mission is to promote identity development, which aims for the students to take the initiative and to be responsible, independent and active members of the society. Though critical literacy practices, the teachers can give their students the opportunity to develop the ability to stand critical to gender, ethnicity, power relations, class and identity. The students encounter many different literary and multimodal texts, both within and outside of school. Hence, the study aims to increase the knowledge about students perceptions of critical literacy. The aim will be accomplished by answering the following questions: 

·       How do the students perceive texts on the basis of the different aspects of critical literacy, for example gender, power and ethnicity? 

·       How do the students perceive the critical literacy practices within their education? 

 

The study is a qualitative study, and the data collection is done through semi-structured interviews with seven elementary students in year 2 – 3. Phenomenography was used to investigate the participants perceptions. The data was analyzed through a thematic analysis, but the sociocultural theory was used throughout the study. The conclusions are that the students had different perceptions of critical literacy and the different aspects of it. Many of the participating students did not discuss books and movies with others, if they were not instructed to do so. The students use strategies, like reading between the lines, to make meaning of different texts, but they are unaware of their ways to comprehend the content. They make intratexual and intertextual connections, but when asked, they do not bring the experience into their everyday life. The student perceptions of the education did also vary a lot, the conclusion that could be drawn from that is that the students which read more and who discussed the different aspects during the interviews did have a bigger perception of the critical literacy practices than the other students. During the interviews, the student gave different examples of methods which were used in the classroom when they processed texts.
