”Det är ett tufft yrke att åldras i” – En studie om musiklärares uppfattningar av sin yrkesidentitet och hur den konstrueras
(2019) LAMP72 20191Malmö Academy of Music
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med studien är att undersöka musiklärares uppfattningar av sin yrkesidentitet. Vidare syftar studien till att utforska vilka faktorer som bidrar till formandet av musiklärarnas yrkesidentitet. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ metod. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem behöriga musiklärare på ett gymnasium. Empiriska data som ligger till grund för analysen och resultaten, består av ljudinspelningar och transkriptioner. Resultaten indikerar att musiklärarnas uppfattningar av yrkesidentitet kan kategoriseras i fyra teman: (1) musikläraren som lagledare, (2) musikläraren som praktiker, (3) musikläraren som specialist, och (4) musikläraren som ”lärare-i-sig”. Vidare tyder resultaten på att musiklärarnas yrkesidentitet... (More)

Vidare tyder resultaten på att musiklärarnas yrkesidentitet har formats av flera faktorer. Dessa faktorer inkluderar musiklärarnas tidigare erfarenhet av att vara musikelev och musiklärarstudent samt musiklärarnas erfarenhet av att vara en verksam musiklärare. Resultaten bidrar till kunskap om läraridentitet och har särskild relevans för musiklärarutbildningsinstitutioner samt blivande och verksamma musiklärare. (Less)
- Abstract
- The aim of the thesis is to investigate conceptions of teacher identity among upper secondary school music teachers. Furthermore, the study aims to explore which factors contribute to the construction of music teachers’ professional identity. The investigation was conducted using a qualitative method. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with five qualified upper secondary school music teachers. Empirical data, which form the basis for the analysis and findings, consist of audio recordings and transcriptions. The results indicate that the teachers’ conceptions of professional identity can be categorized into four themes: (1) the music teacher as team leader, (2) the music teacher as practitioner, (3) the music teacher as specialist,...

Furthermore, the findings suggest that the teachers’ professional identities have been formed by several factors. These factors include the teachers’ own previous experience of being a music pupil and subsequently a university music student, as well as the teachers’ experience of being a professional music teacher. The findings will add to the knowledge base of studies on teacher identity and have particular relevance for music teacher education institutions and pre- and in-service music teachers. (Less)
