Transforming Biographical Experience Into Occupational Accountability: Paraprofessional Integration Workers’ Efforts to Professionalise Integration Support in Sweden

CODE	DEFINITION	EXAMPLES FROM THE EMPIRICAL FINDINGS IN THIS STUDY
Deixis	When pointing to a particular issue in terms of a problem. Nomination of topics for discussion.	PP integration workers are drawing attention to a problem in one PowerPoint slide. For example, saying to the other IW, coordinator or expert: ‘but’, ‘this picture is not a good picture’, ‘It isn’t showing’, ‘you can’t see’.
Definition and Delineation	How the problem raised is elaborated upon. Such as in the uptake of others in terms of how the following are warranted and made relevant: Asking for the provision of examples and justifications, further details and contextual parameters.	The PP integration workers collectively engage in identifying the problem with the PowerPoint slide in front of them. Using spontaneous concepts to give more details, explanations or justifications such as ‘my mother wouldn’t’, or ‘this would not be helpful for me’.
Deliberation	Identifying negotiations around their task, and how some working consensus on what is a collective, proper ‘explanation’ emerges.	Negotiation around whether their biographical experience as a spontaneous concept is a generally ‘good’ justification for changing the information. Do the others accept the justification used and what it is used for? Does it work as an account for several of the IWs or not? ‘I agree’ ‘that’s true’.
Departure	Identifying a shift towards qualitatively different positions in terms of the formulation of emergent problems.	This code was used in observing whether the PP integration workers reached a solution about a changed PowerPoint image that corresponded with their defined (‘new’) purpose of providing the societal information that would better match their spontaneous concept.
Development:	Identifying new ways of working: significant reformulation of their practices.	When the whole task of developing quality in CO changed due to IW achievements when using their spontaneous concepts.
