Performans och text – entextualiseringar av dans och rytmik i idrottsundervisningen i en högstadieklass

Abstract [sv]

Artikeln, som är en del av en längre etnografisk studie om skrift- och bedömningspraktiker i idrottsämnet, undersöker skriftliga texters roll under ett undervisningsblock i dans och rytmik i en högstadieklass i Sverige. Närmare bestämt undersöks för vilka ändamål skriftbaserade texter används och vad de använda texterna handlar om, det vill säga vilket specifikt ämnesinnehåll som entextualiseras (Bauman & Briggs, 1990). Därmed fyller artikeln en empirisk lucka i forskningen om literacy i idrott och hälsa. I studien ses literacy som situerade sociala praktiker, vilket innebär att man kan tala om olika ”literacies” i olika domäner. Här undersöks literacy i förståelsen skriftbruk i idrott och hälsa med hjälp av begreppen skrifthändelse och skriftpraktik. Resultaten visar att texter används för mångfasetterade syften, så som planering och introduktion av undervisningen, utvärdering och reflektion, kunskapsredovisning och bedömning och som redskap i såväl teoretiska som praktiska undervisningsaktiviteter. Rörelse framstår som det mest frekvent men också det mest nyanserat entextualiserade ämnesinnehållet.

Abstract [en]

As part of a longer ethnographic study on literacy and assessment pratices in Physical Education and Health (PEH), this article investigates the functions of written texts in a PEH-class in lower secondary school in Sweden. The paper aims at identifying the purposes and content of texts as part of teachers’ and students’ actions in PEH-class spaces. It specifically addresses the question of what specific subject content that is entextualized (Bauman & Briggs, 1990), i.e. lifted out of its interactional setting and recentered as a text in a new setting. In the study, literacy is understood as situated social practice associated with specific domains. In order to investigare the specific literacy in PEH, literacy event and literacy practice are used. The results show that the texts are used for a wide array of purposes such as the planning and introduction of formal instruction, evaluation, reflection, assessment, and as tools for theoretical as well as physical activities. Movement is shown to not only be the most frequently entextualized subject content but also the subject content which is entextualized in the most nuanced ways.

Abstract [en]

In Physical Education and Health (PEH), a previously almost entirely practical subject, the use of written texts has increased considerably, which can be assumed to have consequences on the subject and on students’ meaning making. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the functions of written texts in PEH. Three research questions are answered: 1. How, when, and why are texts used in instructional practices in PEH?; 2. What text themes are most dominant in the used texts, and what specific subject content is entextualized?; and 3. What disciplinary identities do PEH-texts offer the students?

The main theoretical framework is New Literacy Studies (NLS), and an ecological approach to literacy as social practice is employed. Text ethnographic methods are used for data collection and analysis along with concepts from discourse and genre studies. Texts and ethnographic data are collected during a three-semester-long field study of a PEH-teacher and a class in a lower secondary school. In addition, interviews with five PEH-teachers are performed.

Article 1 shows that texts are used for a wide array of purposes, and as tools for theoretical as well as physical learning activities. Movement is shown to be the most frequently entextualized subject content. Written assessment comments, investigated in Article 2, most often acknowledge subject specific knowledge in students’ written assignments. In Article 3, the most prominent genres identified address measuring and training of the body. The students are mainly positioned physiologically, but also in relation to ideas from the humanities and social sciences. In Article 4, the use of texts is legitimated as practical, timesaving and a well-known tool for instruction and assessment. However, writing and text practices steal time from embodied learning and may not suit all students.

In summary, the thesis shows that it is possible to use texts and still maintain the focus on embodied learning. If they are used functionally and strategically, texts can contribute to and develop instruction in PEH, rather than threaten the subject.
