    Tjejers och killars läsning: En undersökning av högstadieelevers syn på läsning2013Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this study is to examine secondary school pupils’ views on reading in general, followed by a specific focus on fiction. The purpose is to identify similarities and differences between girls and boys, where the questions at issue are related to the pupils’ views on reading and the didactic value of findings based on the result. The essay is founded on two theories, which are literacy and gender.

    Concepts of value, literacy and gender are presented before the background. According to the gender theory, girls and boys are regarded as a group of individuals rather than two separate groups. The background concentrates mainly on reading connected to school; previous research on literature and education, with a gender perspective.

    The research material consists of three research groups from three different schools. Each group consists of one class from year 7 and one from year 9 who have answered a survey. Two girls and two boys have been interviewed from each class. The research material therefore represents 114 questionnaires and twenty-four interviews that focus on students’ views on reading, both in terms of reading during leisure time and at school.

    The result shows that "girls and boys reading" should rather be referred to as "individual reading" because reading is very widespread with respect to, and no matter of, sex. There are some general differences between the sexes and ages, where the joint between the informants is that, during leisure time, they read from the computer, whereas literary reading is personal.

    A didactic conclusion suggests that the literary reading in school should be mainly personal. This, given the differences between individuals, makes it impossible to motivate everyone to read a collective book. The discussion is based primarily on the results and the theoretical starting point.

    Platta kontra bok: En undersökning av elevers medieupplevelse av respektive medium2012Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this thesis is   to investigate pupils’ experience of the media – reading with a tablet, an   iPad, and a traditional book, as the reading experience may be influenced by   the experience of medium. The research questions concern didactics and possible   differences between the media and what kind of possible pedagogical   consequences that may have.  

    The background focuses on   reading, language, and the medium. The starting point begins with a historical   perspective, which naturally leads to the present time where the perspectives   of gender and pedagogy are actualized.

    The investigation is based on a   survey and interviews related to three focus groups from two schools. The   pupils’ that are included in this research are studying at secondary school,   as statistics regarding reading indicates that reading decreases for this age   group. This occurs in both terms of time spent reading and the actual reading   abilities. The investigation concentrates on the research questions concerning   experience of medium and reading experience related mainly to school and   teaching.

    The results indicate that a   difference in experience between tablets and book exist. The pupils’ often   prefer the traditional book rather than the tablets despite the fact that the   majority of the pupils’ observed several advantages of especially the iPad.   The experience of medium may be a result of habit.

    General conclusions are problematic to state since the focus groups are not sufficient in terms of numbers. Moreover the investigation indicates that boys seem to find the tablet more appealing than girls in general. The discussion is divided in two parts: discussion of the result and a more general discussion.
