Betyg, det är bara en guldklimp i kanten - en kvalitativ studie om motivation hos tjejer i skolan på behandlingshem
(2018) PSYK11 20172Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med denna studie var att utifrån en hermeneutisk ansats tolka och förstå tjejer på behandlingshem, deras upplevelser av motivation och skola, då skolan har stor betydelse för motivation och hur denna skapas och formas (Davidsson & Flato, 2010). Ett bekvämlighetsurval användes för att välja behandlingshem och tjejernas medverkan i studien utgjordes av ett strategiskt urval. Semistrukturerade personliga intervjuer genomfördes med tjejer i åldrarna 15- 20 år som befann sig på behandlingshem och som gick i skola. Intervjuerna tolkades med hjälp av tematisk analys och för att stärka tolkningen användes sedan misstankens hermeneutik. Resultatet visade att erfarenheter av tidigare skolor till stor del påverkade tjejernas motivation. För... (More)

Intervjuerna tolkades med hjälp av tematisk analys och för att stärka tolkningen användes sedan misstankens hermeneutik. Resultatet visade att erfarenheter av tidigare skolor till stor del påverkade tjejernas motivation. För höga krav, lärares bristande förståelse och tidigare misslyckanden var faktorer som minskade motivationen. Vidare visade resultatet att tjejerna främst drevs av yttre motivation. Fokus på att få betyg som belöning var mest förekommande. Mötet med lärare och personal påverkade tjejernas motivation i stor utsträckning. Upplevelsen att bli sedd och bekräftad genererade motivation. Brister i mötet bidrog till en ökad psykisk ohälsa vilket minskade motivationen hos tjejerna. Med kunskap om vad som motiverar tjejer på behandlingshem och hur motivation kan påverkas, kan lärare och personal arbeta för att höja motivationen. (Less)
- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to interpret and understand girls at treatment homes, their experiences of motivation and school, as the school is of great importance for motivation and how it is created and shaped (Davidsson & Flato, 2010). To interpret this, the study used a hermeneutic approach. A convenience sample was used to select treatment homes and the girls participating in the study were strategically selected. Semi- structured personal interviews were conducted with girls between the ages of 15 and 20 who were in a treatment home and attended school. The interviews were interpreted based on the hermeneutics of suspicion along with a thematic analysis. The results showed that experiences of former schools largely affected the... (More)

The interviews were interpreted based on the hermeneutics of suspicion along with a thematic analysis. The results showed that experiences of former schools largely affected the girls’ motivation. Too high demands, teachers lack of understanding and past failures were factors that reduced motivation. Furthermore, the result showed that the girls were driven by external motivation. Focus on getting grades as reward was most prevalent. The meeting with teachers and staff influenced the girls' motivation to a large extent. The experience to be seen and confirmed generated motivation. Deficiencies in the meeting contributed to increased mental health which reduced the motivation of the girls. With knowledge of what motivates girls in treatment homes and how motivation can be affected, teachers and staff can work to improve girls´ motivation. (Less)
