Digital tools in schools : a qualitative analysis of prerequisites and use among students in fourth grade (English)
Abstract [sv]

Sverige har en ambition om att bli bäst i världen på att tillvarata digitaliseringens möjligheter, en central del i detta är att tidigt säkerställa digital kompetens hos unga. Därav att det görs satsningar på att barn ska ha tillgång till digitala verktyg av olika slag i skolmiljö. Av intresse är därmed att erhålla förståelse för hur de använder sig av de tillhandahållna digitala verktygen och vad deras åsikter kring det är, vilket är vad denna studie ämnar undersöka. Datainsamlingen har gjorts i form av fyra observationstillfällen som fördelats på två klasser tillhörande årskurs fyra. Fördelat på dessa skedde ett urplock av sex respondenter som det genomfördes intervjuer med, det användes även av informanter i form av deras klassföreståndare och en lärare/IT-samordnare. I arbetet med att analysera datan gjordes en innehållsanalys i vilken kategorier tillämpbara både för observation och intervju fastställdes. Resultatet visade att digitala verktyg var något som användes i hög grad och att det finns ett spektrum av vilka som förekom. Överlag har det konstaterats att eleverna huvudsakligen ser fördelar med det, men har en medvetenhet om baksidan med detta också. Det framkom bland annat att en vanlig uppgift var att skriva texter, något som uppskattades att göra på datorn då det inte framkallade smärta i handen likt användandet av papper och penna kunde göra. För att kunna dra slutsatser om detta fördes en diskussion kring tidigare forskning i relation till erhållet resultat.

Abstract [en]

Sweden has an ambition to become the best in the world in making use of the opportunities of digitalization, a central part of this is to ensure early digital competence among young people. Therefore, investments are being made to ensure that children have access to digital tools of various kinds in the school environment. It is therefore of interest to gain an understanding of how they use the digital tools provided and what their opinions are about it, which is what this study intends to investigate. The data collection has been done in the form of four observation sessions which are distributed between two classes belonging to year four. Distributed among these, a selection of six respondents took place with whom interviews were conducted, informants in the form of their class teachers and a teacher/IT coordinator were also interviewed. In the work of analyzing the data, a content analysis was made in which categories applicable to both observations and interviews were established. The result showed that digital tools were something that was used to a high degree and that there is a spectrum of which tools occurred. Overall, it has been found that students mainly see advantages to it, but have an awareness of the downside of this as well. Among other things, it emerged that a common task was to write texts, something that was appreciated to be done on the computer as it did not cause pain in the hand like the use of paper and pencil could. In order to be able to draw conclusions about this, a discussion was held about previous research in relation to the results obtained.
