Abstract
This essay is a qualitative action study that through interviews studies how teachers and
students in an aesthetics program in highschool defines and thinks about the term “personal
expression” and what the student should do to meet the expectations for fulfilling the
requirements concerning that particular grade. The purpose is to increase the knowledge
about what differences and similarities there are, learn about the students perspective and
suggest pedagogical actions based on the results that can favor the communication about the
assessment between students and teacher. A review of the literature shows that this subject
has not been researched above bachelor level, has omitted the student perspective and has
found difficulties... (More)
This essay is a qualitative action study that through interviews studies how teachers and

requirements concerning that particular grade. The purpose is to increase the knowledge
about what differences and similarities there are, learn about the students perspective and
suggest pedagogical actions based on the results that can favor the communication about the
assessment between students and teacher. A review of the literature shows that this subject
has not been researched above bachelor level, has omitted the student perspective and has
found difficulties in defining the term. This together with my own experience of teaching this
class is the background for this study. The results together with previous papers indicate that
personal expression has different sub themes. This study found three sub themes that all
participants mentioned. These three were how a vocalist sings, their body language and facial
expressions. The descriptions of these sub themes were somewhat different between the
participants. The biggest difference between the students and the teachers was that the teacher
emphasized how the student reasoned and argued for their artistic choices about how to
perform a particular song. The students thought that emphasis was on the performance itself.
The pedagogical actions that were suggested were to hold a jointed class or classes around
this subject where the teacher could tell and show the students what to do to meet these
requirements along with an open discussion about the topic of personal expression. The
results also indicated difficulties in differentiating the term with related terms such as musical and artistic expression. Therefore, definitions including both overlap and distinctions based on the result of this study together with previous ones also where proposed. (Less)

Denna uppsats är en kvalitativ aktionsstudie som genom intervjuer undersöker hur lärare och

Denna uppsats är en kvalitativ aktionsstudie som genom intervjuer undersöker hur lärare och
elever på ett estetiskt program resonerar kring och definierar begreppet “personligt uttryck”
samt vad de tänker ska utföras för att uppfylla kunskapskravet innehållande begreppet. Detta i syfte att öka kunskapen i huruvida samsyn råder eller inte, öka förståelsen kring hur eleverna definierar och resonerar kring innebörden av personligt uttryck samt utifrån resultatet, föreslå pedagogiska åtgärder som kan underlätta kommunikationen kring bedömningen av kunskapskravet mellan lärare och elever på ett estetisk program. Litteraturgenomgången visar att ämnet inte undersökts mer än på kandidatnivå, har funnit svårigheter i att definiera begreppet samt har utelämnat elevernas perspektiv. Detta tillsammans med mina erfarenheter av att undervisa i kursen är bakgrunden till undersökningen. Resultatet tillsammans med tidigare undersökningar indikerar att personligt uttryck har olika underteman. Denna undersökning fann tre teman som alla informanter var eniga om. Dessa var hur en vokalist sjunger, dennes kroppsspråk samt ansiktsuttryck. Beskrivningar av dessa underteman råder viss oenighet om. Resultatet fann även att den största skillnaden mellan lärare och elevers tankar om vad som bedöms i kunskapskravet rörande personligt uttryck var att lärarna betonade hur elever resonerar och motiverar sina val i hur den vill framföra en viss låt. Eleverna trodde emfas var på framträdandet i sig. De åtgärder som föreslogs baserat på resultatet var att hålla gemensam(a) lektion(er) där begreppet och kunskapskravet
diskuterades samt att lärarna talar om och visar hur eleverna bör göra för att uppfylla
kunskapskravet. Resultatet indikerade även svårigheter att skilja begreppet från besläktade
begrepp såsom musikaliskt och konstnärligt uttryck. Därför föreslogs även definitioner
inkluderande både överlapp och distinktioner baserat på resultatet samt tidigare
undersökningar. (Less)
