Teachers
in
focus
–
Experiences
regarding
demands
of
accountability
from
influencing
actors
Lately
there
has
been
an
ongoing
debate
about
the
Swedish
school
system
due
to
falling
student
results
and
increased
documentation.
There
are
many
actors
that
perform
control
on
teachers,
implying
that
teachers
receive
demands
of
accountability
from
many
directions.
In
turn,
this
may
have
an
affect
on
teachers’
willingness
and
ability
to
account.
How
do
teachers
experience
the
demands
of
accountability
from
different
actors?
The
aim
of
the
study
is
to
provide
an
understanding
of
teachers’
experiences
regarding
demands
of
accountability
directed
to
them
from
different
actors.
The
study
will
thereby
provide
a
holistic
view
of
the
teachers’
experiences.
The
study
was
conducted
with
a
qualitative
approach
since
it
focuses
on
getting
the
teachers’
experiences.
This
consisted
of
semi-‐constructed
interviews
performed
with
20
fulltime-‐employed
teachers
in
different
secondary
schools
in
Gothenburg.
The
study
came
to
the
conclusion
that
the
teachers’
experiences
regarding
their
accountability
differ
depending
on
several
factors:
teaching
subject,
socio-‐economic
factors
in
the
district,
and
length
of
experience
of
the
teacher.
In
general,
teachers
perceive
each
control
as
reasoned,
but
sometimes
they
experience
incoherent
demands
from
the
different
actors,
which
could
have
impact
on
their
willingness
and
ability
to
account. | sv |
