Skolinspektionens konstruktion av skolan som realiseringsarena

Abstract

School inspection is a re-formulation of education as a realization of the school policy. When the Swedish Schools Inspectorate assesses schools’, they in practice formulate a new policy. By using the concept of a realization arena and analyzing quality audit reports, I intend to study how the Swedish Schools Inspectorate constructs its audit object and its consequences. In this study I assume a discursive approach. In the Inspectorate’s construction, the student is only expected to receive the stipulated knowledge and consume teaching. It is the teacher’s job to sell and adapt the presentation of the material to the students.
