Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The competitive university has brought about changes in structural conditions and created contradictions which are embedded in institutions. The present study is based on interviews with 42 early career researchers in the field of education sciences in Sweden. We analyse how members of this group handle career possibilities and limitations in relation to gender and to the structural ambivalence embedded in the higher education system. Our results illustrate that the structure of education sciences contains power relations and processes of differentiation, which give researchers different access to resources that can be used to handle structural ambivalence. This is illustrated in how, for example, women researchers, more than men, lack resources to solve the experienced tensions surrounding them, and therefore often work in areas where they are able to cope. Men researchers can often solve their career ambivalence by avoiding traps and gaining recognition, and are therefore able to advance.

Doktorander som kreativa brobyggare. Centrum för utbildningsvetenskap och lärarforskning. Tema: Läraryrkets Praktik.
- 2013
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna skrift är en presentation av ett projekt i form av en workshop som genomförts inom temat Läraryrkets praktik vid CULs forskarskola vid Göteborgs Universitet. Deltagare i projektet har varit två temaledare och tolv doktorander. Projektet har syftat till att utveckla, och än mer komplettera, utbildning på forskarnivå till att inte bara svara på de innehållsliga och inomdisciplinära krav man har att tillgodogöra sig såsom forskarstuderande, utan till att också ge doktorander möjligheter att systematiskt tillägna sig kunskaper som rör kommunikation, arbete i grupp tillsammans med andra forskare, samt delta i nätverk – också över nationsgränser. Det vill säga, färdigheter som den moderna forskarrollen kräver. Men projektet har också syftat till att ge doktorander möjligheter att fördjupa sina kunskaper om en vald forskares arbete inom området lärarprofessionen ur ett nordiskt perspektiv. Skriften inleds och avslutas med ett ramverk där temaledarna, Karin Rönneman och Peter Erlandson, presenterar utgångspunkterna för, och arbetet med, workshopen. Men framför allt behandlar skriften doktorandernas reflektioner över läraryrket, kopplat till de doktorsavhandlingar de läst, analyserat och diskuterat med avhandlingarnas inbjudna författare. De frågor som behandlas är på många sätt centrala både för forskningsfältet pedagogiskt arbete och för lärarrollen och dess villkor i samtiden. Frågor som behandlas är till exempel: lärarprofessionen och kommunaliseringen av skolorna, ansvar i profession och praktik, lärare och praktikgemenskapens möjligheter, systemteoretiska perspektiv på undervisning och didaktik, lärarprofessionen i olika nordiska kontexter, samt dialogens möjligheter för att utveckla och bedöma lärarkompetens. Vi hoppas att denna skrift skall ge inspiration till dem som är intresserade av utbildning på forskarnivå och av att utveckla denna, för forskare och doktorander intresserade av pedagogiskt arbete, liksom för aktiva lärare som söker nya perspektiv på sin yrkesroll.

A taxonomy of motives to cite
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, we explicate citing behavior in the writing of scientific papers by presenting a taxonomy of motives to cite. The suggested taxonomy consists of four main categories, which are purely descriptive: Argumentation, Social Alignment, Mercantile Alignment, and Data. These categories are divided into a suggested set of subcategories. We argue that the complexities of citing practice show how little can be assumed about actual citing behavior when studying a finished paper. The discussion supports the claim that it might be misleading to treat all citations as equal in quantitative citation analysis.

Academic misconduct in teaching portfolios
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Within academia, clear and standardised communication is vital. From this point of departure, we discuss the trustworthiness of teaching portfolios when used in assessment. Here, misconduct and fraud are discussed in terms of fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism, following the literature on research fraud. We argue that the portfolio’s unclear academic status and confusing standards makes it difficult to define misconduct. We see a risk that the practice of portfolio writing for assessment can lead to misconduct, including downright lies about accomplishments. We conclude that the trustworthiness of teaching portfolios is a responsibility for the academic community as a whole.

Theories as Maps: Teaching Psychology Beyond Mind and Behavior

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- It is a challenge for psychology education to teach students about the possibilities and limitations of psychological theories. In the present article, we attempt to meet this challenge by employing the metaphorical expression “theories-are-maps” as a didactic tool for exploring the dynamics between psychology as a scientific project and the nature of the phenomena observed. Using mental illness as an example, we use the map metaphor to discuss the various difficulties involved in teaching theories in psychology, in such terms as the risk of confusing maps and terrain. While using theories-are-maps as a tool does add complexity to psychology education, it also helps illustrate how the relationship between theory and the “reality” that theoretical devices are describing can be envisaged. We see this as a contribution to the discussion on critical thinking in psychology, particularly in the teaching of psychology.

A fair game - the neoliberal (re)organisation of social and relational practices in local school settings
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we use data from ethnography-inspired studies of eight Swedish schools. We describe and analyse how a number of neoliberal-inspired economic and political processes have (re)organised social and relational practices in local school settings. There is an increased focus on individuality in the everyday working lives of teachers, where result-centred practices, relations and professional identities have replaced notions of equality and compensatory interventions. In our study, the teachers describe an increasing focus on performativity, competition and hierarchisation. We use fairness as a lens for illuminating these changes in social relations, changes in the organisation of teachers' practices, and teachers' struggles with these changes. The purpose of this study is to analyse how the current reforms are enacted and how they affect the working lives of teachers, and thereby to contribute to the current discussion on how the last decades of political and administrative changes have affected educational practice.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Universities have their own particular ways of doing things. They have their own histories, their titles, their policy documents to attend to, and their own practices that have often evolved and taken form over centuries. The overall aim in this article is to illustrate an individual's complex growth into becoming a proficient university teacher from being a novice. With a phenomenological point of departure I analyze the embodied working conditions that a newcomer to university teaching carries around and gradually becomes familiar with - and even relatively proficient in - over a period of about three years. The focus in the article is the newcomer's reflective struggle with understanding her/himself and the social and cultural demands and possibilities that s/he is confronted with.

From trust to control – the Swedish first teacher reform

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, the implementation of the Swedish first teacher reform, where especially skilled teachers get an opportunity to advance in their careers, is examined. The scene is an upper secondary school, Baxter High, in the southwest of Sweden. In this particular school, a new system with first teachers replaces an old system of so-called head teachers. The teachers’ response to this is multilayered: at the same time as it reveals an unwillingness to change everyday work rhythms, it is also a response to cultural change, and to change in the discourse of political life in Baxter High. The implementation of the first teacher reform results not only in a change in administrative categories, but also in a change in ideology, intertwined with and embedded in the cultural and social life of the school. In this article, the authors connect the first teacher reform to the neoliberal transformation process that the Swedish educational system has undergone over the last three decades.
