Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Utgångspunkten i detta abstract är att beskriva processen och resultatet i ett pågående utvecklingsarbete riktat mot att utveckla studenters kommunikativa förmågor inom Grundlärarprogrammet vid Göteborgs universitet. Studenters kommunikativa förmågor är en levande fråga i Grundlärarprogrammets tre inriktningar vilket också betonas i examensmålet ”studenten ska visa kommunikativ förmåga i lyssnande, talande och skrivande till stöd för den pedagogiska verksamheten”. De blivande lärarna behöver därför utveckla språkliga repertoarer för att möta elever, föräldrar och kollegor. De ska också förberedas för att skriva vetenskaplig text. Många av programmets studenter har emellertid liten eller ingen erfarenhet av akademiska studier och akademiskt språk och en del av dessa har även svårigheter med att genomföra sin utbildning. Studenterna behöver därför stödjas i syfte att utveckla såväl sina språkliga repertoarer som att författa vetenskapliga texter. En arbetsgrupp bestående av kursledare, språkhandledare och studeranderepresentant fick i uppdrag att, utifrån examensmålet ovan, skapa en progression som kan bidra till utveckling av studenternas kommunikativa kompetenser mellan de olika kurserna under de två första två terminerna i lärarutbildningen. I syfte att studera hur den befintliga progressionen såg ut analyserades länkningen mellan lärandemål och examinationer samt progressionen inom och mellan de två första (olika?) kurserna på utbildningen. I detta arbete, där framförallt Blooms taxonomi men i viss mån även SOLO-taxonomin (Biggs & Tang, 2011) användes, analyserades först kursplanernas lärandemål genom att lärandemålens aktiva verb identifierades. Därefter analyserades de muntliga och skriftliga uppgifter samt examinationer som studenterna enligt kursguiderna skulle arbeta med under kurserna. Språkhandlingarna i uppgiftsformuleringarna identifierades, men även olika typer av stöttande strukturer och modaliteter undersöktes. Med modaliteter avses de olika förhållningssätt till en text som studenten förväntas visa såsom skriftligt, muntligt och/eller gestaltande. Analysen visade att länkningen mellan lärandemålens aktiva verb, språkhandlingarna, och det som studenterna får öva på och utföra i olika typer av aktiviteter inte alltid stämmer överens. Utifrån analysen blev det viktigt att uppmärksamma de olika kursernas kursledare på hur examinationsuppgifternas anvisningar, i form av språkhandlingar, skulle kunna tydliggöras för att studenterna lättare ska förstå innehållet i de muntliga och skriftliga uppgifter de förväntas utföra. Inför samtalen med kursledarna användes matriser där olika språkhandlingar i kursuppgifter och kursmål synliggjordes. Matriserna visade vilka olika texttyper, såsom rapporter, argumenterande texter och beskrivande texter som studenterna förväntades skriva i kursen. Matriserna visade också vilka modaliteter som efterfrågades i examinationerna. Utifrån matriserna blev det då möjligt att tillsammans med kursledarna studera, diskutera och förändra progressionen mellan kurserna med avseende på de språkhandlingar som ingår. Slutligen diskuterades även progressionen beträffande studenternas kompetens i referenshantering med målet att de ska kunna bemästra detta efter första årets kurser inom lärarutbildningen.

On using concept-maps to study school-children's understanding of leisure-time

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In striving to organise learning experiences it is important to understand how children perceive and relate to the learning environments they are presented and confronted with. It is important therefore to study how children perceive the notion of 'leisure' as an abstract concept. An example of how concept-mapping can be used to study children's conception of 'leisure-time' is presented. Forty-three Swedish 5th (n = 18) and 9th (n = 25) class children (average ages: 12 and 16) were presented with otherwise blank A4 pages with the root concept 'leisure-time' encircled and were asked to draw a spontaneous concept-map. For a sub-sample (quasi-experimental design) some additional concept-nodes, based on research findings (levels of location practice), were indicated in their maps. How maps may be analysed using numerical and content analysis, and ranges of hierarchical organisation of descriptive terms is described. About 1000 concepts (with repetitions) were inscribed. On the basis of one map per subject, numerical analysis was used to search for differences in width, depth and hierarchical structure (no age-group (school class) or gender differences were found). Content analysis was used to show how deep gender differences in conceptualisations could lie hidden behind statistical similarities. It is concluded that concept-maps may be used successfully to study abstract concepts such as of children's notions of leisure.

Dissolving the Dichotomies Between Online and Campus-Based Teaching : a Collective Response to The Manifesto for Teaching Online (Bayne et al. 2020)
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Postdigital Science and Education. - : Springer. - 2524-4868 .- 2524-485X. ; , s. 271-329
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article is a collective response to the 2020 iteration of The Manifesto for Teaching Online. Originally published in 2011 as 20 simple but provocative statements, the aim was, and continues to be, to critically challenge the normalization of education as techno-corporate enterprise and the failure to properly account for digital methods in teaching in Higher Education. The 2020 Manifesto continues in the same critically provocative fashion, and, as the response collected here demonstrates, its publication could not be timelier. Though the Manifesto was written before the Covid-19 pandemic, many of the responses gathered here inevitably reflect on the experiences of moving to digital, distant, online teaching under unprecedented conditions. As these contributions reveal, the challenges were many and varied, ranging from the positive, breakthrough opportunities that digital learning offered to many students, including the disabled, to the problematic, such as poor digital networks and access, and simple digital poverty. Regardless of the nature of each response, taken together, what they show is that The Manifesto for Teaching Online offers welcome insights into and practical advice on how to teach online, and creatively confront the supremacy of face-to-face teaching.

Contested Architectures of Mentoring : Support, Supervision or Collective Self-Development
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we describe contested practices of mentoring within and between Australia, Finland and Sweden. Our study is based on national policy documents and empirical data from participants involved in mentoring. The theoretical framework will build on practice theory (Kemmis & Grootenboer, 2008; Kemmis & Heikkinen 2012). The aim is to demonstrate three archetypes persisting in literature and practices: mentoring as supervision, support and collective self-development. In Australia, we find the three kinds of mentoring jostling with one another. In Finland, the perspective of collective self-development is emphasized. In Sweden, the traditional model of mentoring (support) has been typical since 1995, with a current reform of teacher induction which turns mentoring more into supervision.Our paper will show (1) that the meanings of 'mentoring' are contested within and between the countries involved; (2) that the three forms of mentoring identified represent three different projects: (a) assisting newly qualified teachers (NQTs) to pass through probation or (b) traditional mentoring of NQTs by more experienced teachers or (c) peer-group mentoring (PGM); and (3) that these three projects, that could be simultaneously present, also involve and imply quite different practice architectures in the form of different materialeconomic, social-political and cultural-discursive arrangements.

Leadership and Pedagogical Skills in Computer Science Engineering by Combining a Degree in Engineering with a Degree in Education
- 2020

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this full paper on innovative practice, we describe and discuss findings from dual degree study programmes that combine a master's degree in engineering with a master's degree in education. This innovative study programme design has emerged in Sweden due to an alarming demand for more Upper Secondary School teachers in STEM subjects. Studies on alumni from these programmes indicate that the graduates are highly appreciated not only as teachers in schools, but also in business and industry, e.g. in roles as IT consultants and computer science engineers. Data indicate that the breadth of the combined education, and especially leadership and pedagogical skills, are important factors for these graduates' success as engineers.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the article highlights various conceptions of violence at a Swedish boarding school and is based on a critical discourse analysis of different educational and media documents. The investigation indicates that ambitions to protect childrenfrom violence need to overcome the dichotomy of private and public in order to protect children affected by violence in the borderland between the private and public spheres.

Discussant in the Symposia "Research on Practices of Teacher Induction Part II"
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The symposium consists of two consecutive sessions (Research on Practices of Teacher Induction I and II). In the first paper of the first session (Part I), a theoretical framework was introduced, and the two following papers studied the practices of induction from two different empirical viewpoints. The second session of the symposium (Part II) will introduce three more empirical research projects about teacher induction. The session will continue on the direction which has been indicated in the first part of the symposium, addressing the research ruestion: how are the practices of teacher induction constituted in the three aforementioned dimensions: (1.) physical spacetime, (2.) semantic space and (3.) social space (Kemmis & Grootenboer 2008; Kemmis & Heikkinen 2012). The speakers come from countries with different culture and history, teacher education and induction systems which enriches the quality of information gathered within the symposium. The first presentation from Norway will focus on examining mentors’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) which is constituted of content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. This presentations is focused on the (2.) semantic space of induction. It addresses the meaning-making processes of teachers through asking how mentors themselves define their professional content knowledge. The second paper will introduce an emerging practice of teacher induction, Peer-Group Mentoring model (PGM) which is currently being disseminated throughout Finland. Based an empirical analysis of qualitative and quantitative data, experiences of the national program will be introduced. The third presentation is based on the work of the European PAEDEIA network (Pedagogical Action for a European Dimension in Educators' Induction Approaches) and introduces a comparative research design about three parallel models for induction: one in Finland, one in Turkey and one in Sweden.
