Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to enlighten and discuss dance as a form of expression for hard of hearing children, from a starting point of dance educational praxis. In every special educational setting communication is challenged. Traditionally, training these children's spoken language has been the common way of developing communication skills. We will present our starting points for using dance as an alternative communication, to offer different forms of expression. A good self esteem is in our opinion the ground for communication. One challenge in this respect is to take care of the initiatives of the children. Another aspect is to use the body in a communicative context and learn how it works in relation to other human beings. Also important is to catch how the children participate in the activities, from their specific circumstances. One part is how they imitate the teacher, the classmates and themselves. We also want to enlighten how the teacher relates to the children and their learning in this context. Finally we want to discuss different ways of developing this project, and how it is possible to use in other special educational settings.

The relation between tools used in Action Research and the Zone of Proximal Development
- 2005
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to discuss whether it is possible to use the theories about the Zone of Proximal Development as understanding the value of using tools in action research as a way to challenge teacher’s thinking and acting in practice. Vygotskij’s theories are enlightened in a group perspective of learning and are applied in a school development context. In the project three tools are introduced; shadowing, writing, and facilitating. The argumentation is focusing the importance of using a variation of tools and taking different roles in a changing process; the person who gives and receives response concerning their own practice.
