När det är muntligt så är man väldigt lämnad åt sig själv - En empirisk studie om svensklärares bedömningar av muntlig framställning i Svenska 1

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate how upper secondary teachers in the Swedish language grade oral presentations in the national test. The study uses two methods to reach the aim. In the first method the teachers were shown five oral presentations which they graded using the grading criteria for the national test. In the second method the teachers were interviewed about their teaching and grading of oral presentations in the first course of upper secondary Swedish. The primary results were firstly that the three teachers weren’t unanimous in their grading. Secondly they consider oral communication being one of the most important criteria to become democratic members of society. Two teachers were teaching to the test by preparing their students for the national test through an identical test before the real exam. The curriculum for upper secondary school says that students need to learn how to interact with others and that the grading should be equivalent, an aim which can be fulfilled through co-assessment. The teachers in the study utter that there is not enough time or ability to do so, but they believe that it would contribute to a more likeworthy assessment.
