Studien belyser även hur fyra ämneslärare i svenska förhåller sig till de nya kursplanerna och om deras arbetssätt har förändrats angående litteratur och läsning i och med de nya kursplanerna. I studien har tre metodstrategier använts för att besvara frågeställningarna; två typer av textanalyser, en kvantitativ och en komparativ, samt en kvalitativ intervjustudie. Resultaten av textanalyserna uppvisar både skillnader och likheter mellan kursplanerna. Detta resultat stöds av lärarintervjuerna..

Denna studie har undersökt sex gymnasielärares uppfattningar och upplevelser av den nya läroplanen, kopplat till deras erfarenheter ifrån den föregående läroplanen. Utifrån kvalitativa intervjuer har lärarna fått svara på frågor kring betygsättning och bedömning i Gy11. Studien har utgått ifrån ett läroplansteoretiskt ramverk, där Lindes (2006) arenor och Bernsteins (2003) begrepp, klassifikation och inramning, kopplats till lärarnas svar för vidare analys. Studiens resultat visade att lärarna ansåg att den nya läroplanen var tydligare i många avseenden, men att vissa formuleringar och begrepp fortfarande var svårtolkade och ledde enligt deras åsikt till ojämn bedömning mellan skolorna. Lärarna var även av uppfattningen att den nya betygsskalan ledde till mer rättvis bedömning för eleverna.
