Legemedier

ResuméGennem denne artikel undersøges, hvordan en konceptualisering af læremidler som legemedier kan bidrage til nye forståelser af læremidlers rolle, når der arbejdes med legende tilgange til undervisning på læreruddannelsen. Gennem analyse af empirisk materiale fra et designbaseret forskningsprojekt viser artiklen, hvordan denne konceptualisering fungerer som et produktivt begreb mod tendensen til at naturalisere læremidler i undervisningen. I artiklen vises, hvordan legemediebegrebet i stedet åbner for tre centrale bidrag i forhold til læremidlers funktion og brug: 1) at bryde med umiddelbare brugsmønstre gennem eksperimenterende praksis, 2) at udvide forståelsen for studerende af, hvad der kan inkluderes som læremidler, samt 3) at synliggøre, hvordan læremidler aktivt former deltagelse og forståelse i undervisningssituationer. Der argumenteres for, at denne konceptualisering er særligt aktuel i læreruddannelsen, hvor studerende skal udvikle kompetencer til at skabe varieret og engagerende undervisning i deres kommende professionelle praksis.

Through analysis of empirical material from a design-based research project, the article demonstrates how this conceptualization acts as a productive concept against the tendency of naturalizing learning materials in education. This article shows how the concept of play media instead opens for three key contributions in relation to function and use: 1) breaking with immediate patterns of use through experimental practices, 2) expanding the understanding for students of what can be included as learning materials, and 3) making visible how learning materials actively shape participation and understanding in teaching situations. It is argued that this conceptualization is particularly relevant in teacher education, where students need to develop competencies for creating varied and engaging teaching in their future professional practice.
