The after-school Educare as counterbalance to a future "knowledge school" : A qualitative study on the future changing conditions of the after-school Educare (English)
Abstract [sv]
Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker hur fritidspersonal uppfattar och hanterar sitt pedagogiska uppdrag i ett skolklimat med ökat fokus på disciplin, ordning och resultat, inspirerat av den skolpolitiska debatten med inslag av "No-Excuses"-pedagogik. Studien har genomförts via semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta fritidspersonal vid fem kommunala skolor.
Resultaten visar ett behov av skärpt fokus på sociala färdigheter och självreglering. Personalen arbetar aktivt med att hantera friktionen i övergången från den styrda skoldagen. Studiens centrala slutsats är att fritidshemmets viktigaste värde ligger i att vara en plats för social träning, emotionell bekräftelse och att ge eleverna möjlighet att utveckla självreglering och autonomi – en roll som blir alltmer vital som motvikt i en akademiserad framtid.
Abstract [en]
This qualitative study examines how after-school care staff perceive and manage their pedagogical mission in a school climate with an increased focus on discipline, order, and academic results, inspired by the school policy debate featuring elements of "No-Excuses" pedagogy. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with eight after-school care staff at five municipal schools.
The results show a need for an increased focus on social skills and self-regulation. Staff actively work to manage the friction in the transition from the highly structured school day. The study's central conclusion is that the most important value of the after-school center is to be a place for social training, emotional affirmation, and to give students the opportunity to develop self-regulation and autonomy – a role that becomes increasingly vital as a counterweight in an academicized future.
