Abstract [en]

The purpose of our study is to find the reasons behind teachers' different choices of literature in the Swedish subject at Sixth Form level in Sweden. These choices have didactical consequences regarding what is actually taught through literature. There is a risk that the diverse subject of Swedish, according to the Swedish curriculum, is not taught to its full extent due to a lack of understanding of what literature should be used for. We believe that one way to counteract this misunderstanding is finding a consensus in the choice of literature between teachers of Swedish. The literature review covers central Swedish sources with student and teacher perspectives on literature use in school. We also included more recent international studies to include further perspectives on different kinds of literature and literature use. To accomplish our study, we interviewed six teachers of Swedish at three different schools in the Southwest of Sweden about their choices of literature as well as their view of literature in Swedish education. The teachers' choices of literature were compared and analysed using theories on categorization of the Swedish subject in school and other factors that might play a role in the choice of literature. We also interpreted what kind of reading was prioritized by teachers to analyse the didactic implications of different literature choices. Additionally, we searched for any sign of consensus between the teachers that might show us whether or not teachers of Swedish do have consensus in their choice of literature. We concluded that our informants all have different views on literary education, which guide their choices, and we have made suggestions for finding consensus in the choice of literature.
