”Thinness and muscles” : Upper Secondary School Students’ perceptions of teaching about body ideals (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte och frågeställningar: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur svenska gymnasieelever upplever undervisningen i Idrott och hälsa 1 med fokus på kroppsideal samt belysa eventuella skillnader eleverna emellan.

-        Hur upplever gymnasieelever att undervisningen om kroppsideal har berörts i Idrott och hälsa 1?

-        Vad karaktäriserar de olika svaren om kroppsideal från elever av olika kön?

Metod: Med en mixed method konstruerade författarna en webbenkät som elever från olika gymnasieskolor fick besvara. Alla respondenter hade slutfört kursen IDH1 innan de svarade på enkäten. Totalt svarade 248 elever från fem olika skolor. Den insamlade kvantitativa datan analyserades i SPSS och presenterades sedan i tabeller. Den kvalitativa datan från de öppna frågorna i enkäten analyserades tematiskt.

Resultat: Resultaten visar att respondenterna har blandade upplevelser av hur mycket IDH1 har berört ämnet kroppsideal. Majoriteten av de respondenter som fått undervisning om kroppsideal beskriver att undervisningen främst varit teoretisk. Det finns också ett antal respondenter som uppger att undervisning om kroppsideal inte förekommit alls i IDH1. Vidare visar resultaten att majoriteten av respondenterna anser att undervisning om kroppsideal är viktigt, eftersom det är relevant i dagens samhälle och diskuteras mycket i sociala medier. Det verkar finnas en signifikant skillnad mellan tjejer och killar hur viktigt de tycker undervisning om kroppsideal är, men generellt finns det inget som tyder på att svaren korrelerar med respondentens kön.

Slutsats: Elever i svenska gymnasieskolor anser i stor utsträckning att undervisning om kroppsideal i IDH1 är viktigt. De uppger också att undervisningen i stor utsträckning är teoretisk. Dessa resultat kan dock inte generaliseras till alla gymnasieelever i Sverige, eftersom de valda respondenterna är av ett litet bekvämlighetsurval. Förhoppningsvis kan denna studie ändå bidra till vidare forskning om ämnet.

Abstract [en]

Aim: The purpose of the study is to investigate how Swedish upper secondary school students experience the teaching in Idrott och hälsa 1 (IDH1) with a focus on body ideals and to highlight any differences between students depending on their gender. The study addresses two main questions:

-        How do students in upper secondary school experience that the teaching of body ideals has been touched upon in IDH1?

-        What characterizes the different responses about body ideals from students of different genders?

Method: Employing a mixed method, the authors constructed a web survey for students from different upper secondary schools to answer. All respondents had passed the course IDH1 before answering the web survey. In total, 248 students from five different schools answered the web survey. The gathered quantitative data was analysed in SPSS and presented in tables. The qualitative data from the web surveys open questions were thematically analysed.

Results: The results show that the respondents have a mixed experience regarding how much IDH1 has teached about body ideals. The majority of the respondents who have had teaching about body ideals describe that the teaching has been mostly theoretical. There are also a number of respondents who state that the teaching about body ideals have not occurred at all in IDH1. Furthermore, the results show that the majority of respondents believe that teaching about body ideals is important because it is relevant in today’s society and discussed in social media. It seems like there is one significant difference between girls and boys in the matter of how important they think teaching about body ideals is, but in general there is nothing that states that the answer has a correlation with the gender of the respondent.

Conclusion: Students in Swedish upper secondary school consider, to a large extent, that teaching about body ideals in IDH1 is important. They also say that the teaching is largely theoretical. However, these results cannot be generalized to all upper secondary school students in Sweden since the chosen respondents come from a small, convenient sample. Hopefully, however, this study can contribute to further research on the subject.
