Abstract [en]

The present study examines how teachers in school-age educare view their profession in terms of job tasks and work situation as well as their need for and attitude towards teaching assistants. The study was conducted in two stages. The first part consisted of an online survey answered by 61 school-age educare teachers. Based on the results of the survey, eight employment advertisements were constructed with different job descriptions. During a staff development day, 44 school-age educare teachers prioritized the various announcements based on their needs for an additional resource. The priorities were then discussed in seminar form. The results show that there is large variation in all the tasks performed within the framework of the school-age educare teachers professional practice which is reflected and discussed from a professional theoretical perspective. The profession’s area of responsibility is extensive, ranging from certified teaching duties to simple practical tasks that are often time-consuming. The work is, therefore, often experienced as stressful and fragmented. Clearly there are different directions of will in regards to the professional development and positioning. From the data, three types of school-age educare teachers were formed. Common to the three types that have been presented is that the task as a substitute in the school is not desirable.

Abstract [sv]

I föreliggande undersökning studeras hur lärare i fritidshem ser på sin profession i termer av arbetsuppgifter och arbetssituation samt deras behov av och inställning till lärarassistenter. Undersökningen utfördes i två steg. Den första delen bestod av en webbenkät som besvarades av 61 fritidshemslärare. Utifrån resultatet av enkäten konstruerades åtta platsannonser med olikartade arbetsbeskrivningar. Vid en studiedag prioriterade 44 fritidshemslärare de olika utlysningarna utifrån sina behov av en extra resurs. Därefter diskuterades prioriteringarna i seminarieform. Resultatet visar att det är en stor variation på alla de arbetsuppgifter som utförs inom ramen för fritidshemslärares yrkesutövning vilket speglas och diskuteras ur ett professionsteoretiskt perspektiv. Professionens ansvarsområde är vidsträckt och rör sig mellan kvalificerade undervisningsuppdrag och enkla praktiska göromål, som inte sällan är tidskrävande. Arbetet upplevs därför många gånger som stressigt och splittrat. Att det finns olika viljeinriktningar när det gäller den professionella utvecklingen och positioneringen är tydligt. Ur undersökningens data formerades tre typer av fritidshemslärare där inställningen till fritidshemslärarens profession och lärarassistenter varierade. Gemensamt för de tre typer av fritidshemslärare som presenterats är att uppgiften som avlösare eller vikarie i skolan inte är önskvärd. Här kräver fritidshemslärarna möjligheten till tid för att planera sin undervisningsinsats i fritidshemmet.
