Av normen är du kommen - En mixed methods-studie av användandet av ett nytt normkritiskt metodmaterial för körer

- Abstract (Swedish)
- I denna studie undersöker vi upplevelser och effekter av vårt eget nyskrivna metodmaterial för körer. Tidigare forskning har visat att många körer idag ger uttryck för restriktiva könsnormer vilket gör verksamheten mindre inkluderande för de som bryter mot dessa normer, särskilt transpersoner. Vi har därför konstruerat ett metodmaterial med syfte att tillgängliggöra normkritiskt och normkreativt arbete för körer, med särskilt fokus på genusnormer, för att se om det hade kunnat åstadkomma någon förändring. Materialet består av övningar som vävs in i ordinarie praktik under tre repetitionstillfällen.

Tidigare forskning har visat att många körer idag ger uttryck för restriktiva könsnormer vilket gör verksamheten mindre inkluderande för de som bryter mot dessa normer, särskilt transpersoner. Vi har därför konstruerat ett metodmaterial med syfte att tillgängliggöra normkritiskt och normkreativt arbete för körer, med särskilt fokus på genusnormer, för att se om det hade kunnat åstadkomma någon förändring. Materialet består av övningar som vävs in i ordinarie praktik under tre repetitionstillfällen.
Denna mixed methods-studie ämnar besvara frågor kring hur körer upplever materialet, dess tillgänglighet, mäta dess effekt på attityder kring normkritik och genusnormer, samt jämföra resultaten mellan de olika körerna. Två körer, bestående av körledare och korister, har genomfört materialet, dock behövde den ena kören avbryta innan sista tillfället kunde genomföras på grund av externa faktorer. Data samlades in genom två enkäter, en som samlade in kvantitativa data om koristernas attityder kring genusnormer och normkritik i retrospektiv post-test-design, samt en som samlade in kvalitativa data om körledarnas upplevelser från arbetet med metodmaterialet.
De kvalitativa resultaten tyder på att materialet gett upphov till många givande diskussioner om vad som antas baserat på normer, vad en kör implicit kommunicerar, och genusnormers påverkan på sociala grupper. De kvantitativa resultaten visar en viss positiv trend för koristernas svar, men är över lag inkonklusiva, vilket kan bero på enkätens utformning. Författarna rekommenderar vidare forskning på hur inkluderingsarbete kan göras tillgängligt och relevant för körer. (Less) - Abstract
- In this study, we investigate the experiences and effects of our own original pedagogical material for choirs. Previous research has shown that many choirs today still hold onto restrictive gender norms that make the activity less inclusive for people who do not fit into these norms, especially transgender people. We have therefore constructed a pedagogical material with the aim of making norm-critical and norm-creative work, with a particular focus on gender norms, accessible for choirs, and to see if this could bring about any change in attitudes. The material consists of exercises that are interwoven into regular choir practice during three rehearsals.

The material consists of exercises that are interwoven into regular choir practice during three rehearsals.
This mixed methods study aims to answer questions about how choirs experience the material, its accessibility, measure its effect on attitudes towards critical pedagogy and gender norms, and compare the results between the different choirs. Two choirs, consisting of choir directors and choristers, have implemented the material, however, one had to conclude before the last session could be completed due to external factors. Data was collected from both choirs using two surveys, one that collected quantitative data on the choristers' attitudes towards gender norms and critical pedagogy with a retrospective post-test design, and one that collected qualitative data on the choir directors' experiences of working with the pedagogical material.
The qualitative results indicate that the material has yielded many fruitful discussions about what is assumed based on norms, what a choir implicitly communicates, and the impact of gender norms on social groups. The quantitative results show some improvement in choristers’ attitudes but are overall inconclusive, which may be due to the design of the survey. The authors recommend further research on how work related to inclusion can be made accessible and relevant for choirs. (Less)
