Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Swedish National Graduate School for Digital Technologies in Education (GRADE) is a cooperative venture between six Swedish universities established during 2018. Within the field of educational sciences and in the area of digital technologies in education, GRADE aims to strengthen the expertise in the area and to increase national and international cooperation in research training activities.Over a number of years, and from multitude of sources (cf. Brown & Davis, 2004; Fisher, Higgins & Loveless, 2006; Kafai & Resnick 1996), research has stressed that increased digitalization in schools leads to a complexity that needs to be taken into account on different levels, from different perspectives and with different designs, methodologies and theoretical perspectives (cf. Olofsson, Lindberg, Fransson & Hauge, 2015; Price, Jewitt & Brown, 2013; Tondeur, Valcke & van Braak, 2008). At a micro-level, the learning situation of students, teachers and school-leaders changes and it becomes important to deepen the knowledge about the impact digital technologies has on the fundamental conditions for teaching and learning of different school subjects (cf. Chun, Kern & Smith 2016; Leung & Baccaglini-Frank, 2017). On a macro-level, conditions for education as such changes and digital technologies becomes an important object of study as agents of change (Wong & Li, 2008). The digitalization of K-12 schools has long been highlighted in policy as a necessity (cf. Kirkman et al, 2002; OECD, 2010). However, research and evaluations (cf. Fransson et al, 2012; OECD, 2015; Wastiau et al, 2013) show that many substantial challenges remain. One of the fundamental pillars of GRADE is the interdisciplinary approach. Several disciplines are present (Applied IT, Curriculum studies, Education, Informatics, Technology and Learning, Educational work, Work-interated Learning) in researching digital technologies in K-12 schools with the ambition to contribute to the continued implementation, integration and use of digital technologies in Swedish K-12 schools that stems from the evidence-based knowledge produced within the activities of GRADE. The research within GRADE will be characterized by close cooperation with stakeholders from school practice, with the aim to contribute to concrete school development. In GRADE, a multi-level approach that involves multiple layers or levels of school activities will be encouraged. When possible, studies will be longitudinal. This will imply studies from an organizational and management perspective, e.g. studies of school leaders and other members of senior management positions responsible for digital technology use and implementation. Also implied are studies of teachers' teaching practices and didactical considerations, as well as studies of the students in classrooms and their learning using digital technologies. This will also imply that several issues with a bearing on the digitalization of education, for example regarding school policy, teaching, learning, assessment and professional development will be researched from different perspectives and with different methodological approaches. In this paper, these points of departure will be explored based on the expectations and experiences of the first twelve admitted doctoral students and their supervisors.

Quality management systems as indicators for stability and change in customer-supplier relationships

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: This paper extends the discussion on stability and change through focus on specific relationship characteristics. Quality management systems prescribe established routines for supplier selection and monitoring, and may thereby designate the nature and longevity of customer-supplier relationships. The purpose of this paper is to describe and discuss the effects of quality management systems on stability and change in different forms of customer-supplier relationships.Design/methodology/approach: A number of illustrative examples based on participatory data and interviews help to capture different types of customer-supplier relationships (private/public; certified/non-certified) related to quality management systems.Findings: While certified customers in most sectors only need to prove that their suppliers have procedures in place, many customers equate this with requiring that their suppliers should be certified. The paper further shows that customers replace deeper understandings for their suppliers' procedures with the requirement that they be certified.Originality/value: The paper contributes to the existing literature through integrating quality management systems literature with the business network approach. For business network studies, the discussion on quality management systems as constricting regimes is interesting and provides practical insights to the business network studies as such quality management systems increase in importance and spread.

Hur nås höga kursutvärderingar? : En studie av korrelationen mellan kursutvärderingar, nedlagd tid och studenters resultat på kurser
- 2009

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Kursutvärderingar har blivit allt viktigare. De fyller idag inte enbart en funktion av att utgöra underlag för förbättringar inom utbildningen, utan används även för att utvärdera lärarens insatser. I och med detta skulle det också kunna uppkomma intressen att försöka styra undervisningen för att uppnå höga kursutvärderingar. Diskussioner har bland annat handlat om att höga krav på studenterna påverkar kursutvärderingar negativt (se exempelvis Bjuremark, 2008) samt om det går att få bättre kursutvärderingar genom att ge studenter höga betyg. Syftet med detta papper är att undersöka sambanden mellan det betyg studenterna ger en kurs, deras studiearbetstid och det slutbetyg studenterna erhållit från kursen. Inom Linköpings universitet används det elektroniska kursutvärderingssystemet KURT där man bland annat frågar efter hur studenterna bedömer kursen som helhet på en femgradig skala och där studenterna ska ange genomsnittlig studiearbetstid under kursen. Genom att jämföra dessa värden med studenternas studieresultat avser pappret att besvara följande frågor: Finns det något samband mellan studenternas slutbetyg och det betyg de ger kursen?, Finns det något samband mellan nedlagd studietid och studenternas slutbetyg? Och, finns det något samband mellan nedlagd tid och det betyg studenterna ger kursen? Som underlag för undersökningen använder vi data från 230 kurser inom ekonomi på teknisk fakultet vid Linköpings Universitet. Vi drar slutsatsen att medan det inte finns någon signifikant korrelation mellan nedlagd tid och studieresultat eller mellan kursutvärdering och studieresultat, så finns positiv korrelation mellan nedlagd tid och kursutvärdering. Dessa slutsatser är intressanta att lyfta fram kopplat till diskussioner om kursutvärderingar och studieprestationer, då de indikerar att (i) det inte lönar sig att ge enkla kurser för att få en bra kursutvärdering, (ii) en hög arbetsinsats primärt premierar kursen, medan studenten faktiskt inte når en bättre prestation, och (iii) att ge höga betyg till studenter inte premierar kursutvärderingen.
