Abstract [en]

In this article we draw conclusions from a research project in which a unique model for a fiction-based approach to ethics education was developed and used in three Swedish schools. Nine lessons were carried out during the 2019-2020 school year in five school classes: two in Grade 5 and three in Grade 8. Participating teachers worked with the researchers before and during the project to reflect on and develop the model. Moreover, five classes and teachers with their ordinary ethics education were engaged in the project. Theoretically, the project draws on the works of Martha C. Nussbaum in its choice to employ fiction reading in ethics education, and has a foundation in a sociocultural theory on moral development elaborated by Mark B. Tappan. The article’s aim is to critically reflect on the results and design of the project in relation to the theoretical underpinnings, with the purpose of offering reflections on ethics education for further development in both research and educational practice.

Abstract [sv]

I den här artikeln drar vi slutsaster från ett forskningsprojekt där en unik modell för en skönlittearatur-baserad etikundervisning utvecklades och användes i tre svenska skolor. Nio lektioner genomfördes under läsåret 2019-2020 i fem skolklasser, med två klasser från årskurs 5 och tre från årskurs 8. De medverkande lärarna arbetade tillsammans med forskarna före, under och efter projektet med reflektion över och utveckling av modellen. Fem ytterligare skolklasser och deras lärare med sin reguljära undervisning var engagerade i projektet. Teoretiskt bygger projektet på Martha C. Nussbaums arbeten för valet att andvända skönlitteratur i etikundervisning, och har sin bas i den form av socio-kulturell teori för moralutveckling som utvecklats av Mark B. Tappan. Artikelns syfte är att kritiskt reflektera över projektets resultat och design i förhållande till de teoretiska ansatserna, för att bidra med reflektion för fortsatt utveckling av forskning och undervisningspraktik när det gäller etikundervisning.
