Den nödvändiga kreativiteten?
Om den eventuella nödvändigheten av ett gymnasiegemensamt forum för kreativitet, kulturell bildning och eget skapande för att nå samtliga av läroplanens mål.
The swedish education system in general and the swedish gymnasium in particular is at the point of a thorough reform of the guidelines in education. One major difference given in the guidelines is that the former core subject of arts education is abandoned in favour of making history a mandatory class. This despite the curriculum outlined in 1994 remains. Through comparativ text analysis of the documents and reports outlining this reform and defining the curriculum as well as the guidelines for the education system this study aims to point out the reasons for this change. Through in depth interviews with teachers, educators and authorities in addition to readings of contemporary research on arts in education the study will depict a larger picture of the scheme of things. Furthermore it revives the question of the necessity of arts in education and whose responsability it is to secure that the students will be able to achieve the goals expressed in the curriculum.
