Abstract

Artiklen undersøger udviklingen af professionelle værdier blandt danske folkeskolelærere i mødet med organisatoriske forandringer i forbindelse med skolereformen fra 2014. Hvor eksisterende forskning ofte behandler værdier som stabile kognitive strukturer, anlægges her en pragmatisk tilgang, der analyserer værdier som kvaliteter, der både former og formes af praksis. Gennem et longitudinelt casestudie vises, hvordan lærere afviste nye undervisningsstandarder, men omfavnede de teamstrukturer, der skulle implementere dem. Analysen demonstrerer, at mens værdier om ”god undervisning” forblev stabile, udviklede forståelsen af ”at være professionel” sig via erfaringer med teamsamarbejde fra individuel autonomi til kollektivt ansvar. På den baggrund udvikles teoretiske indsigter i, hvordan professionelle værdier, viden og organisatoriske strukturer koordineres omkring kerneopgaven gennem roller og rutiner i praksis. Artiklen peger på, at velfærdsreformer må give rum for, at det professionelle arbejde kan udvikle sig med udgangspunkt i professionelles eksisterende værdier.
