Litteraturdidaktiska förhållningssätt i läromedel för gymnasieskolan : En analys av två läromedel i Svenska 3, med fokus på skönlitteratur.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the literature didactic approach in two learning materials for the upper secondary school. The empirical material includes two books: Svenska impulser 3 and Svenska 3 helt enkelt. Theories about teaching literature, and systematic text condensation are used for the analysis. In the learning materials literature is emphasized and plays an important role.The results indicate that the main function of literature didactics is to teach students to analyze literature, but also to create a curiosity and interest in literature, to develop students' knowledge of literature and to present a variety of literary works. Furthermore, students are expected to adopt an objective perspective while working with the chapters of literature. This result is indicating that teachers who use these learning materials also need to add more aesthetic reading into the literature lessons. The books also mediate that literary understanding largely is a social process.
