“If they feel safe there, I think everything else will come automatically” : A qualitative study on guardians' perceptions of teachers in after-school care professions in their work with care, learning and development (Swedish)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund:

Genom åren har samhällsutvecklingen haft en betydande inverkan på fritidshemmets roll och funktion. Denna utveckling har lett fram till omfattande omorganiseringar som påverkat fritidshemmets uppdrag, innehåll och mål. Detta har i sin tur haft inflytande på fritidshemmets profession och dess personal, samt förändrat familjer och barns levnadssätt. Alltifrån 1800-talets arbetsstugor till eftermiddagshem och slutligen till dagens fritidshem, har vårdnadshavares liv påverkats och gett upphov till olika uppfattningar om verksamheten efter skolan.

Syfte:

Syftet med studien har varit att bidra med ökad kunskap till forskningen om fritidshemmen. Mer specifikt var studiens syfte att undersöka hur vårdnadshavare uppfattar lärare i fritidshems yrkesprofession i deras arbete med omsorg, lärande och utveckling. I studien har följande frågeställningar besvarats:

- Hur uppfattar vårdnadshavare fritidshemslärarens arbete med att ge omsorg till deras barn?

- Hur uppfattar vårdnadshavare fritidshemslärarens arbete i barnens lärande och utveckling?

Metod:

Undersökningen baseras på en kvalitativ intervjustudie där vi genomfört nio semi- strukturerade intervjuer med vårdnadshavare. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten är inspirerad av diskursteorin och använder den tematiska analysen för att besvara studiens syfte.

Resultat:

Resultatet pekar på att vårdnadshavare visar uppskattning när fritidshemmet erbjuder trygghet, omsorg och sociala relationer. De värdesätter en lärarroll som är relationell, flexibel och besitter personliga egenskaper, som ofta anses viktigare än deras formellakompetens. Betoning ligger på att fritidshemmet som miljö ska vara en trygg, social och en lekfull utvecklingsmiljö, hellre än en formell kunskapsarena.

Abstract [sv]

Background:

Over the years, societal developments have had a significant impact on the role and function of after-school care. This development has led to extensive reorganizations that have affected the mission, content and goals of after-school care. This has in turn had an influence on the after-school care profession and its staff, as well as changed the lifestyles of families and children. From the 19th century workhouses to afternoon care homes and finally to today's after-school care homes, the lives of caregivers have been affected and have given rise to different perceptions of after-school activities.

Purpose:

The purpose of the study has been to contribute increased knowledge to research on after-school care homes. More specifically, the purpose of the study was to investigate how caregivers perceive teachers in the after-school care profession in their work with care, learning and development. The following questions have been answered in the study:

- How do guardians perceive the work of after-school care teachers in providing care to their children?

- How do guardians perceive the work of after-school care teachers in children's learning and development?

Method:

The study is based on a qualitative interview study where we conducted nine semi-structured interviews with guardians. The theoretical starting point is inspired by discourse theory and uses thematic analysis to answer the purpose of the study.

Results:

The results indicate that guardians appreciate when the after-school center offers security, care and social relationships. They value a teacher role that is relational, flexible and possesses personal qualities, which are often considered more important than their formal competence. The emphasis is on the after-school center as an environment to be a safe, social and playful development environment, rather than a formal knowledge arena.
