Abstract [en]

The aim of this thesis is to provide new knowledge about the design of explicit story teaching in early primary school. It focuses on graphical models and metalanguage of the school subject Swedish, using a socialsemiotic framework of Design for Learning, genre theory, and concepts relating to interaction in formalteaching contexts. The study examines the social dimensions of making story elements explicit and functional in grade 1 and grade 2 classroom practices through a micro-analytical approach. The research spans from the contextualizing arena of policy documents and teaching resources to the education–practicalarena of teacher and student practical interactions in formal teaching. The central concept is story teaching design, which involves using graphical models and subject-specific metalanguage. It explores how teaching resources and teachers’ orchestrations of these resources can guide students’ engagement with story elements in a formal teaching context. The data consists of curricula for early teaching of Swedish pertaining to stories, incorporating written, drawn, and embodied modes of teachers. The collection focuses on video and multimodal analyses, audio recordings, and the collection of students’ writing processes and products.

The project contributes new metadiscursive insights into the orchestrated modes used in designing story teaching in early primary school. The main findings indicate that the orchestrated graphical models focus mainly on story elements at a global text level and vary in focus of particular story elements. Teachers’ orchestrations can focus on either story-specific elements or general narrative traits, framing the reconstructing negotiations of a story with either a goal-oriented or a more explorative approach. Students tend to re-design teaching resources to build tension in their own written stories by re-designing characterdialogue to realize several narrative functions. Teachers’ use of metalanguage, such as “red thread” and “descriptions,” in story teaching creates broad text expectations for written stories, extending beyond the global text level. These concepts are also prevalent in feedback on student texts. The findings underscore the value of an intermodal perspective to understand teachers’ efforts to make explicit knowledge about stories accessible for students, since they combine orchestrated modes to highlight the same story element.

Abstract [en]

This study explores how graphical models, teaching resources and language arts curricula for primary school in Sweden represent features of narrative genre. Furthermore, it provides a conceptual and methodological approach for studying the recontextualization of genre knowledge in different educational contexts. We selected two particular models (the Story Face and the Obstacle Chart) because they are promoted by the Swedish National Agency of Education. We analyzed the models, curricula, and related teaching resources through Bernstein's concept of recontextualization fields, Martin's genre theory, and Kress and van Leeuwen's visual grammar. The results show that both graphical models use metaphors to evoke students' everyday experience and break down a narrative text to key story elements. Aligning with Swedish language arts curricula, the models de-emphasize the need to manage tension in narra-tives. Finally, the results show that the models' different ways of representing key story elements may be difficult for teachers and students to decode.(c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.

Abstract [en]

Although the teaching of narrative texts in primary school is well researched, there is a lack of insight into how visual models and multimodal prompts are used by teachers to convey genre-specific knowledge. Therefore, we conducted a multimodal study of the teaching practices in two first-grade classrooms during joint re-tellings of the folktale Little Red Riding Hood and subsequent interactions around narrative genre. In both cases, the teachers used the graphical model The Story Face as well as a whiteboard canvas in their orchestrations. Data was collected in the form of audio and video recordings. Underpinned by a social semiotic framework combined with Bernstein’s concept framing, the analyses revealed that both teachers focused on story events and the story’s macrostructure while displaying different orientations in the use of verbal language and visual representations. This resulted in different emphases on either story-specific or more general features of narrative genre. Furthermore, the students showed an interest in iconic and suspense-building story dialogue, but this aspect was generally de-emphasized by the teachers’ use of verbal language and visual resources. Based on these findings, we discuss the significance of studying teachers’ differing orchestrations through overlapping modes.

3. Narrativt skrivande i årskurs 1: En fallstudie om elevers re-design av berättelseelement

Abstract [sv]

I denna fallstudie analyseras narrativt parskrivande i två skrivsituationer med sju elever från årskurs 1. De två situationerna utmärker sig genom olika iscensatta läranderesurser för att uppmärksamma eleverna på flera berättelseelement. Utifrån ett designteoretiskt ramverk undersöks hur elevernas situerade intresse promptas mot berättelseelementen och hur eleverna i samtal och skrivande re-designar berättelseelement.

Analysen är genomförd i tre faser där 1) berättelseelement identifieras, 2) prompt­ningarna av elementen i de olika läranderesurserna, modelltext och två grafiska modeller, sätts i relation till varandra, och 3) berättelseelementens möjliga funktioner i ett narrativ problematiseras. Underlaget består av tre läranderesurser, transkriptioner av elevernas samtal under skrivprocesserna, deras skrivna texter och transkriptioner av efterföljande parintervjuer där eleverna reflekterar över sitt skrivande och berättelser.

Resultaten visar att de olika läranderesurserna erbjuder eleverna olika uttryck för berättelsestrukturer. Strukturerna re-designas med en variation av en- och flerepisodisk struktur i de olika skrivsituationerna. Eleverna visar också ett genomgående intresse för att bygga spänning och stöper om berättelseelement som karaktärsdialoger för att uppnå detta. Berättarperspektiv, som enligt tidigare forskning brukar skifta i unga elevers berättelser, är konsekvent i tredjeperson. Det speglar hur läranderesurserna modellerar berättarperspektiv i båda skrivsituationer. Trots att röd tråd begreppsliggörs i en av de grafiska modellerna har eleverna svårt att specificera hur en röd tråd realiseras i en berättelse. Deras förslag är i stället exempel på sagor utan en röd tråd. Likt tidigare studier påvisas också att elevernas skrivprocesser präglas av ett starkt fokus på lokal textnivå, trots att läranderesurserna uppmärksammar andra berättelseelement.

Abstract [en]

I svensk skrivforskning finns konsensus om att tidig skrivundervisning utmärkersig genom fokus på formalia på olika textnivåer. Metaspråksbruket för berät-tande texter varierar mellan studier som betonar olika textelement och derasfunktioner. Denna metaspråkliga glidning utgör en central utgångspunkt idenna artikel. Vi har undersökt tre grundlärares konstruktioner av textförvänt-ningar på narrativt skrivande genom textnära återkoppling med den grafiskamodellen Berättelseansiktet och lärarnas reflektioner. Vi analyserade lärarnassyn på narrativt skrivande och vilka utsnitt ur elevernas texter som lärarna anserrepresenterar olika berättelseelement. Resultatet visar att lärarna tillämpar me-taspråkliga metaforer som åsyftar olika textsegment och kommunikativa funk-tioner. Begrepp ur svenska styrdokument som ”händelser”, ”beskrivningar”och ”röd tråd” används av lärarna med skiftande fokus mellan olika textnivåeri elevernas berättelser. Vidare visar resultatet att lärarnas reflektioner präglasav ett underliggande funktionellt perspektiv på skrivande som inte fullt ut blirsynligt i deras formaliafokuserade återkoppling till eleverna.
