Abstract [sv]
Lärare är en av de viktigaste skolrelaterade faktorerna angående elevers akademiska lärande. Akademiskt ledarskap inom lärarprofessionen har enligt tidigare forskning en väsentlig del i elevers skolresultat. Kunskaper om ledarskap, och dess innebörd, skapar behovet av att införskaffa mer kunskap om hur akademiskt ledarskap utbildas inom en idrottslärarutbildning. Studiens syfte var att undersöka vilka kunskaper om ledarskap, och dess innebörd, som lärarstudenter inom en idrottslärarutbildning på ett universitet i södra Sverige har införskaffat samt saknat under utbildningen. Kvalitativ intervjustudie var undersökningens metod med en tillhörande semistrukturerad intervjuguide. Sju deltagare intervjuades och efter intervjuernas genomförande utfördes en tematisk innehållsanalys av deltagarnas svar som genererade identifiering av teman samt kategorier som besvarade studiens syfte samt frågeställningar. Studien resulterade i att införskaffade kunskaper om ledarskap inom idrottslärarutbildningen innefattar professionella kunskaper, didaktik och friluftsliv. Studieresultaten om kunskaper inom ledarskap som saknas i utbildningen innefattar interpersonella kunskaper, intrapersonella kunskaper, bindning av kunskaper och engagemang. Studiens slutsats förklarar att kunskaper om ledarskap, och dess innebörd, behöver i framtida forskning fortsätta undersökas inom två olika nivåer: institutionell nivå och lärarmässig nivå.
