Teachers with skills, cooperativeness, knowledge, and qualifications : A discourse analysis of the Swedish Schools Inspectorate’s thematical quality audits (English)
Abstract [sv]

Skolinspektionens roll som granskande myndighet och granskningarnas effekter på skola, lärare och undervisning kan studeras från flera olika perspektiv. I denna studie ligger fokus på Skolinspektionens tematiska kvalitetsgranskningar. Med utgångspunkt i en Foucault-inspirerad diskursanalys undersöks vilka diskurser om lärare som konstrueras av Skolinspektionens tematiska kvalitetsgranskningar gällande undervisning i grundskolan mellan år 2014 - 2018? Dessutom diskuteras hur de framträdande diskurserna kan förstås utifrån dess kontext som en del av ett växande granskningssamhälle. Studiens resultat visar att det går att uppfatta tre framträdande diskurser – diskursen om lärarens förmåga, diskursen om lärarens kunskap och kompetens och diskursen om lärarens kollegiala samarbete. Samtliga dessa tre konstrueras som en konsekvens av den mer övergripande diskursen om den framgångsrika undervisningen. I studiens resultatdiskussion problematiseras dessa diskurser när de sätts i relation till det växande granskningssamhället, den marknadsstyrda skolan (genom New Public Management) och skollagens skrivning om utbildning på vetenskaplig grund. I studien argumenteras för att de diskurser som konstrueras i Skolinspektionens skrivningar samtliga bär spår av just dessa tre perspektiv som i studien kallas för diskursiva formationer.  

Abstract [en]

The role of the Swedish Schools Inspectorate as an auditing authority and the effect of the audits on teachers, schools and teaching could be studied from various perspectives. In this study, the thematical quality audits from the Swedish Schools Inspectorate are in focus. Based on a Foucault-inspired discourse analysis, the discourses constructed in the thematical quality audits a regarding compulsory school during the years 2014-2018 are examined. Furthermore, the understanding of the constructed discourses is discussed relative to the audit community being their context. The result of the study shows that three main discourses could be seen as being constructed through the studied material. The discourse about the teacher skills, the discourse about the teacher knowledge and qualifications and the discourse about the teacher cooperativeness. All three are constructed as a consequence of the discourse about the successful teaching. In the study, the three discourses are also discussed relative to the growing audit community, the market-driven school (through New Public Management) and the scientific basis on which all education should be based according to the education act. The study argues that there are traces of these three perspectives in the discourses that are possible to view as constructed in the audits.
