The paradox of flexibility : A power- and professional theory oriented study about primary school teachers in leisure centers professional identity (English)
Abstract [sv]

Synen på professionen grundlärare i fritidshem undersöks genom en kvantitativ undersökning där platsannonser med tjänster riktade mot lärare i fritidshem studeras. Vidare görs även en kvalitativ undersökning där rektorer intervjuas för att få ett skolledarperspektiv på fritidshemmet och lärarna som arbetar där. Studien syftar till att undersöka om en välavgränsad och sammanhållen yrkesidentitet är görlig utifrån de förväntningar som finns och de förutsättningar som ges och diskuterar hur betydelsen av dessa möjligheter och hinder kan tolkas utifrån relevanta makt- och professionsstudier. Trots alla försök till flexibilitet genom att försöka hitta sin plats i organisationens olika delar är det uppenbart svårt att skapa en välavgränsad och sammanhållen yrkesidentitet när många av arbetsuppgifterna inte kommer organiskt, sprungna ur ett fritidspedagogiskt perspektiv på lärande. Istället är de pålagor där den obligatoriska skolundervisningen är norm vilket innebär att fritidshemslärarna hamnar i underläge.

Abstract [en]

The view of the profession of primary school teachers in leisure centers is examined through a quantitative study in which job advertisements with services aimed at teachers in leisure centers are studied. Furthermore, a qualitative study is also conducted where principals are interviewed to get a school leader perspective on the leisure center and the teachers who work there. The study aims to investigate whether a well-defined and cohesive professional identity is feasible based on the expectations that exist and the conditions that are given and discusses how the significance of these opportunities and obstacles can be interpreted based on relevant power- and professional studies. Despite all attempts at flexibility by trying to find their place in the different parts of the organization, it is obviously difficult to create a well-defined and cohesive professional identity when many of the tasks do not come organically, sprung from a leisure pedagogical perspective on learning. Instead, they are levies where compulsory schooling is the norm which means that the primary school teachers in leisure centers ends up at a disadvantage.
