Abstract [sv]

Denna studie undersöker hur musikteorilärare på gymnasieskolor och folkhögskolor upplever att de arbetar för att förbereda sina elever för högre studier, där ett särskilt fokus riktas mot musikhögskolornas antagningsprov. För att undersöka det här har tre olika musikteorilärare från olika förutbildningar, samt en musikteorilärare från en musikhögskola, intervjuats. Resultatet visar att det högskoleförberedande arbetet är komplext och innehåller många varierande element såsom praktiska övningar, praktisk kunskap, metoder för inlärning, stresshantering, motivation och elevansvar. Utöver detta arbete lyfts även lärarnas syn på kommunikationen mellan gymnasieskolan och musikhögskolan. För att analysera det pedagogiska resultatet har variationsteori använts som teoretisk utgångspunkt. Genom att undersöka variationer i lärarnas sätt att undervisa har olika aspekter av högskoleförberedande pedagogik kunnat formuleras.

Abstract [en]

This study explores how music theory teachers at upper-secondary schools and pre-college (folk) schools perceive their work in preparing students for higher education, with a particular focus on the admission tests for music colleges. To explore this, three different music theory teachers from various preparatory programs, as well as one music theory teacher from a music college, were interviewed. The results show that preparation for higher education is complex and involves many varied elements, such as practical exercises, practical knowledge, learning methods, stress management, motivation, and personal responsibility. In addition to this work, the teachers’ views on relationships and communication with other schools are highlighted, along with how such collaborations could contribute to the field. Variation theory has been used as the theoretical framework for analyzing the pedagogical results. By examining variations in the teachers’ methods, different aspects of higher-education preparatory pedagogy have been articulated.
