- 2024
-
Ingår i: Educare. - : Malmö universitet. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; :1, s. 1-10
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This special issue consists of five position papers, four articles and two essays covering diverse aspects of the theme Culture on the Move that foregrounds language and literature both as pedagogical tools and disciplinary fields necessary for learning to live and work in a culturally diverse world. The contributions stem from the initial activities within the graduate school “Culturally Empowering Education through Language and Literature” (CuEEd-LL). Centre-staging teaching and learning in Swedish education, the texts in this issue present a range of inroads into how language and literature can be used to support cultural diversity among pupils, students and teachers since cultural diversity is steadily gaining attention both as a resource and a challenge in education and society.

Musikalitetens roll i teaterpedagogiken: Konstnärlig kunskapsbildning genom intermediala begreppslån
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Educare - Vetenskapliga Skrifter. - : Malmo University Library. - 1653-1868. ; :1, s. 170-200
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Artistic research is a comparatively new academic field, displaying multiple epistemological and methodological approaches. Through a concrete exemplification, this article studies how knowledge formation and learning may take place in artistic fields by way of intermedially borrowed concepts. The prominent use of the concept of ’musicality’ as a prestige word in the field of spoken theatre is investigated, analysed and discussed through a hermeneutic approach, based on extensive qualitative interviews with artists and educators in this field. In conclusion, the cognitive and normative functions of this usage are pointed out as urgent themes for future educational research.

Educational history in the age of apology : The Church of Sweden's "White book" on historical relations to the Sami, the significance of education and scientific complexities in reconciling the past
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Reconciliation processes – wherein governments and other organizations examine their past institutional practices to understand contemporary problems in relation to minorities or indigenous groups – have become a widespread international phenomenon in recent decades. In Sweden, such an ongoing process is the reconciliation work between the Church of Sweden and the Sami. In this process, which recently resulted in the publication of a scholarly anthology (or a “white book”), educational history has come to play a vital part. The present article uses the Church of Sweden’s White Book as an empirical object of study to examine in more detail the role and significance of knowledge of educational history for this specific reconciliation process. By focusing on various scientific complexities and epistemological tensions that tend to arise in these kinds of undertakings, this paper also aims to problematize the white book genre itself as a path to historical knowledge. By doing this, this article’s overall ambition is to contribute to future scholarly work in reconciliation activities, white papers and truth commissions. This study applies a qualitative content analysis and connects theoretically to the growing field of transitional justice research.

What Are Literary Studies For? : A Review of English Teacher Education in Sweden
- 2020

Ingår i: Educare. - : Malmo University Library. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; 3, s. 110-157

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The present article addresses the nature and purposes of literary studies in secondary and upper secondary English teacher education programmes in Sweden. It is based on a study of syllabi from all programmes nationally and for the academic year 2017-2018. The article maps the goals formulated for literary studies as well as the literary and disciplinary repertoires foregrounded in these documents, and so provides a snapshot of the kinds of literary studies that student teachers of English had access to. It situates literary studies in the context of steering documents for English teacher education, and it shows that, whilst literary studies were a given part of English teacher education in the studied period, they relied on a narrow conception of the discipline. Literary studies mainly attended to twentieth and twenty-first century prose fiction and regarded literature primarily as a source of worldly knowledge. Indeed, the repertoires mediated seemed based on their potential to cover curricular ground in relation to steering documents for Swedish schools. Given the relative freedom institutions had to define the subject-specific content of teacher education, the results prompt a discussion about the knowledge repertoires that student teachers need as part of their higher education and as preparation for professional practice.

Development of critical thinking and language proficiency among undergraduate Swedish online EFL students

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Critical thinking (CT) is considered important in second language (L2) learning. Previous studies have in- vestigated and confirmed a correlation between critical thinking and L2 learning in face-to-face (f2f) learn- ing. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between CT and L2 proficiency in an online learning environment. The participants in this study were undergraduate Swedish students taking part in an online EFL course at a Swedish university. Students’ CT skills were measured by the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST). As previous studies confirm that vocabulary size correlates with general lan- guage proficiency, it was seen as a suitable measure of students’ L2 proficiency. Hence, the Vocabulary Size Test (VST) was used to measure students’ vocabulary size. The present study was designed as a pre-test post-test study aiming to investigate the correlation between the processes of CT development and L2 learning during one semester of four months. Contrary to previous studies, no correlation between CT and L2 proficiency could be detected. Moreover, students in this study made no statistically significant improve- ment of CT and L2 proficiency. The results must be interpreted in light of students’ already high levels of CT and L2 proficiency and the relatively short testing period.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Several Swedish reforms in the early 2000s had the goal of implementing a more solid research foundation for teacher education. In this study, we investigate how external mechanisms contribute to and counteract the establishment of new research areas related to the teacher profession, through the example of the L1 subject Swedish. The study explores how the materialistic and intellectual landscape of the academic field has evolved in terms of new academic positions with new content and merit assessment. Through the investigation of a corpus of job announcements, from 1990 to 2022, we have been able to follow the development of a new research area, regarding career paths. The development of a new research area can be described in terms of a fight between different opponents for what is considered a valuable cultural capital (Bourdieu, 2000). The analysis of how the research area is formed relates to Bernstein’s (2003) distinction between singularities and regions.
