Interprofessional collaboration : - A study in collaboration between teachers’ professions in relation to special educational needs in mathematics (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med denna studie är att synliggöra det interprofessionella samarbetet mellan specialllärare i matematikutveckling, specialpedagog och matematiklärare i relation till särskilda utbildningsbehov i matematik, SUM. Studien belyser samarbbetet genom begreppen interprofessionellt lärande, inkludering och tillgänglig lärmiljö. Som teoretiskt ramverk för studien har Engeströms (2001) aktivitetsteori använts. Tre verksamheter i två olika kommuner användes som studieobjekt. En kvalitativ forskningsansats valdes som metod för studien och datainsamlingen genomfördes med hjälp av fokusgruppsintervjuer samt observationer av samtal mellan matematiklärare, speciallärare i matematikutveckling och specialpedagog. Sammantaget framkommer att samarbete mellan professionerna förekommer i stor utsträckning. Dock sker samarbetet ofta mer genom information och enskilda lösningar där professionerna arbetar skilt från varandra än genom gemensam undervisning. Det upplevs mer effektivt att ta ut elever ensklit än att båda professionerna samarbetar i klassrummet samtidigt för att på så sätt lära av varandra och arbeta med en tillgänglig, inkluderande lärmiljö i relation till SUM. Samarabetet stannar på individnivå för såväl professionerna som eleven och utvecklar således varken professionerna eller den inkluderande lärmiljön i stort.
Abstract [en]
This study aims to identify interprofessional collaboration between special educational needs teachers in mathematics, special educational needs coordinators and mathematics teachers in relation to special educational needs in mathematsics. The stdy has focused on collaboration from the perspective of interprofessional learning, inclusion and an accessible learning enviroment. The research apporoach is qualitative and interviews in focus goups have been conducted as well as observations. The activity theory has functioned as the theoretical framwork through this study. Three public schools from two different municipalities were chosen for this study. The results show that collaboration between the different professions occurs frequently. However, the collaboration tends to relate more to presenting information or producing individual solutions where professins work side by side rather than together in the classroom. It is considered more efficient to extract students frpm ordinary education to provide extra support, than to collaborate within the classroom to develop the learning environment towards inclusion and learn from other professions in relation to special educational needs in mathematics. Thus, the collaboration remains on an individual level both professionally and for the students as opposed to generating new knowledge within the professions as well as an inclusive, learning environment.
