Description
Summary:The aim of this essay is to analyze teacher’s thoughts about Sami culture, religion and history. How do teachers shape their teaching in these topics? Teachers in secondary school and the subjects religion and history has been the basis of the survey. To complete this work, these methods have been used; qualitative research interview, surveys and hermeneutics. When you conduct a study that involves people you have to include ethical principles. In this essay, these principals have supported the methods to fulfill the study. The Sami topic has been visible in the field, in different ways. Regarding its visibility in school, it is clear that Sami has been overlooked in teaching materials and by previous research in different school levels and subjects. The supporting theory in this essay is a curriculum-based theory that has looked deeper into the subjects religion and history curricula for elementary school and secondary school. This essay shows that Sami neither takes up a large or a small part in the teaching. Instead the Sami culture, religion and history appear as an example in other areas of these subjects.
