Abstract [en]

Our study is about values education and the teachers’ work with it. The purpose with the study have been to develop our knowledge about schools’ work with values education, but also get an insight in differences and similarities among teachers. We have figured out how teachers can work with values and how this work can be connected with identity. A big part of the students’ identity is created during their childhood and time in school and the teachers’ job is to give those students the right tools to develop both emotionally and in terms of knowledge. By performing interviews we have been able to construct a basis for discussion about the teachers’ work with values education connected to previous research and theory such as Erik Homburger Eriksons concepts about values and identity. Our study shows that teachers’ values education is largely integrated into the basic education plan. The teachers use tools such as media and values exercises but the most important thing is the communication between teacher and student. Both the teachers and students are supposed to be role models for each other and in the classroom an open and forgiving basis for discussion is of importance. Students’ creation of identity and values education goes hand in hand. Through the work with values students’ identities are developed
