Homework in school? : - how a selection of school leaders makes decisions about homework and how they communicate and motivate their decisions in their organsation (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studien syftar till att bidra med kunskap om hur ett urval av skolledare fattar beslut om läxor i årskurserna 4–6 i grundskolan, hur besluten implementeras i verksamheten och hur skolledarna motiverar och kommunicerar sina ställningstaganden inför berörda parter.För att kunna svara på detta ville jag titta närmare på hur skolledare fattar beslut om läxor i grundskolans årskurs 4–6. I denna undersökning intervjuades därför sex skolledare i tre olika kommuner om hur de fattar beslut om läxor för att se vilka variationer som finns i deras uppfattningar om läxor.I intervjuerna framkom det att samtliga skolledare överlämnat beslutet om läxor till sina lärare samt att skolledarnas uppfattning är att lärare arbetar väldigt olika med läxor. Denna undersökning visar ett resultat som kan tolkas som att läxor ses som mer eller mindre självklara i skolan. Samtidigt belyser denna undersökning de svårigheter som finns med läxor i förhållande till elevernas rätt till en likvärdig utbildning utifrån elevernas individuella behov och förutsättningar.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to contribute knowledge about how a selection of school leaders makes decisions about homework and how they communicate and motivate their decisions in their organisation.To answer this, I wanted to look more in depth at how school leaders make decisions about homework in elementary school grades 4–6. In this survey six school leaders in three different municipalities were interviewed on how they make decisions about homework and what variations there are in their perceptions of homework.In the interviews it emerged that all school leaders in this study handed over the decision regarding homework to their teachers and that the school leaders' view were that their teachers choose to work very differently with their pupils’ homework. This study shows results that can be interpreted that homework is seen as more or less mandatory in school. At the same time, this study illustrates the difficulties that exist with homework in relation to the students right to equivalent education based on the students’ individual needs and prerequisites.
