“…Discourse analysis is a useful method to increase or even create awareness of assumptions and perceptions taken for granted and underpinning the governing of health and social care (Bacchi, 2009), with consequences for older people and their informal carers. Discourse means ‘practices that systematically form the objects of which we speak’ (Foucault, in Bergström and Ekström, 2018). This study focuses on what we call ‘the digital technology solution’ discourse.…”

Keeping the older population and their informal carers healthy and independent using digital technology: a discourse analysis of local policy

The general discourse in health and social care policy purports digital technology as necessary to meet growing demands for long-term care and health care as a result of an ageing population. This needs critical investigation since public policy influences people's health and wellbeing. This study aims to interrogate critically what we call the ‘digital technology solution’ discourse in local Swedish health and social care policies. The main concern of our analysis is the discursive constructions of older people and their informal carers and how the concept of health is constructed. A discourse analysis was conducted of 61 local policy documents using the ‘What's the Problem Represented to Be’ method. Our analysis revealed that so-called ‘e-health strategies’ were rarely concerned with health. Health was often referred to as an activity and seen as a means to achieve independence among older people. The norm advocated independence, with the responsibility placed upon the older person, supported by digital technology. Informal carers were constructed as a resource within an older person's environment and largely taken for granted. We argue that the digital solution discourse ignores older people's agency and capacities as contributors to society, not least with regards to being providers of informal care.

“…There is also a need for empirical as well as theoretical exploration of how agency and existential aspects linked with Nordic social studies teaching, knowledge and understanding contribute to enlarged thinking, agency, student engagement and responsibility, qualified belief, moral, and value-based judgment in society, in their own lives, and in relation to the educational situation of social studies subject teaching. Insight is also needed abouy of the different ways in which these processes can matter in elementary and secondary students' lives in and outside of school, in society and in the world (Ammert et al, 2022;Bergström & Ekström, 2015;Björkgren et al, 2019;Bladh et al, 2018;Bråten & Skeie, 2020;Børhaug, 2023;Christensen et al, 2017;Christensen & Mathé, in press;Christensen, 2011;Gullberg, 2014;Iversen, 2019;Jägerskog et al, 2022;Larsson & Ledman, 2023;Nordgren, 2023;Osbeck et al, 2023;Sandahl et al, 2022;Skjaeveland, 2020;Solhaug et al, 2020).…”

“…För att skolchefen ska kunna förhålla sig till politiken och fungera som ett stöd för rektor är det viktigt att skolchefen är insatt i hela komvux komplexa uppdrag. I studier om skolchefers uppdrag poängteras också att spänningar mellan de olika yrkesområdena kan uppstå när det saknas en gemensam samsyn om uppdragets innebörd (Bergström & Ekström 2016, Jakobsson 2007). Dessa spänningar blir tydliga i komvux, då den av politikerna styrde skolchefen i sin tur har en underställd som också är chef, det vill säga rektorn.…”

“…Tolkningen påverkas av olika faktorer såsom kommunstorlek och vilken nämnd vuxenutbildningen hamnar inom. Att inte till fullo känna till komvux uppdrag kan leda till både juridiska dilemman och konflikter mellan rektor och skolchef eftersom rektor, enligt lag, måste verka för alla delar av detta komplexa uppdrag (Bergström & Ekström 2016, Jakobsson 2007. I en studie om rektorer i komvux förekommer exempel på rektorer som uppger att de får utbilda skolchefen om komvux uppdrag (Portfelt, 2021).…”

Superintendent in Municipal adult edcuation - Between Politics and Principal in the Governance Chain. Swedish education policy often emphasises that the superintendent, in the form of the representative for the municipality authority, must take more responsibility for the quality of education. This also applies to municipal adult education (MAE), a form of schooling that differs from the rest of the school system regarding governance. However, there has been limited research conducted on it. Based on Bacchi’s (2009) WPR approach, this study scrutinises how governance is produced in superintendent’s talk about their relationship with the principal and politics. Delegated steering is supported by two different logics of responsibility and economics. The superintendent’s duties and responsibilities are often emphasised, and reference is made to the chain of command. Responsibility is partially shifted to the principal and/or politicians in certain municipalities. This affects the superintendent’ discretion and has both direct and indirect effects on the education offered by the municipality, ultimately impacting the students as well.
