The purpose of the study is to se how coherent certain parts of four textbooks is with the curriculums Lpo 94 and Lgr 80.
The study will examine Christianity and Islam in four textbooks. The aforementioned books are high school textbooks. To help us conduct the study we will use Hellspongs qualitative analysis method that?s allows us to conduct a profound analysis. The results are then compared to the curriculums to give us our answers. The comparisons are based on three different parts. The first part is the analyzed material. The second part is the earlier research that we present in the paper and it is the studies scientifical platform. The third part is the curriculums.
The result of the study is that the textbooks show flaws in the comparisons to the curriculum. We find parts that are influenced by the authors in form of generalizations, a patriarchal view of women and the textbooks tend to use Christianity as the norm for other religions. A positive thing is that the newer books that are based on Lpo 94 show a clear approach against prejudice. They contextualize certain hot spot topics and problematize others and by doing this the books create a platform for better understanding.
