”Det allenarådande syftet är att få eleverna att utvecklas” – En studie om fyra svensklärares skriftliga respons till elevskrivna texter på gymnasiet

Sammanfattning

“The Sole Purpose is to Foster Student Development” The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate how four teachers work with written feedback within the subject of Swedish in the upper secondary school. To achieve the aim, two methods have been used: firstly an analysis of four teachers' written comments on student texts, secondly an interview study according to the method stimulated recall. The analysis was based on the concepts and models presented by Hattie and Timperley (2007), Løkensgard Hoel (2001) and Shao (2015). The analytical tools have been modified and developed partly with inspiration from Hellmark (2024). The result of the analysis revealed that there are both common features and clear differences in the teachers' comments, and therefore it is justified to say that the teachers have different feedback styles. During the interviews, it emerges that these feedback styles seem to be closely linked to the teachers' didactic beliefs and experience, but also that the teachers' feedback practices are influenced by external factors such as lack of time, high workload and the evolution of artificial intelligence.
