Abstract

Ifølge Kunnskapsløftet skal skolen bidra til å utvikle elevers skriveferdigheter fra skolestart. Tidligere forskning har imidlertid vist at lærere ikke opplever at lærerutdanningen forbereder dem i tilstrekkelig grad til å undervise i skriving på småtrinnet. Målet med denne studien var derfor å undersøke fra hvilke kunnskapskilder lærere på 1. trinn har utviklet sin kunnskap om skriveopplæring. Det empiriske grunnlaget for analysen var intervjuer med 116 lærere på 1. trinn ved 54 skoler. Lærerne fikk spørsmål om fra hvilke kunnskapskilder de har lært mest om skriving i begynneropplæringen. Materialet i studien var lydopptak og transkripsjoner fra intervjuene. Funnene viser blant annet at lærerne i hovedsak trekker fram kolleger, kurs/prosjekter og erfaring som kilder til kunnskap om skriveopplæring i begynneropplæringen, og at de i mindre grad trekker fram sin formelle utdanning. I artikkelen drøftes funnene og hvilke implikasjoner de kan ha for lærerutdanning og for andre som jobber med læreres læring når det kommer til skriveopplæring. ENGLISH ABSTRACT First-Grade Teachers’ Sources of Knowledge about Writing Instruction According to the Knowledge Promotion Reform, schools should contribute to developing students’ writing skills from the start of school. However, previous research has shown that teachers do not feel that teacher education prepares them sufficiently to teach writing in the early grades. Therefore, the goal of this study was to investigate from which sources of knowledge first-grade teachers have developed their knowledge about writing instruction. The empirical basis for the analysis was interviews with 116 first-grade teachers at 54 schools. The teachers were asked about the sources of knowledge from which they have learned the most about writing in beginner instruction. The material in the study consisted of audio recordings and transcriptions from the interviews. Findings suggest that the teachers primarily cite colleagues, courses/projects, and experience as sources of knowledge about writing instruction in elementary school and that they to a lesser degree refer to their formal education. The article discusses the findings and what implications they may have for teacher education and for others working with teacher learning when it comes to writing instruction.
