  • Reading Among Students in Sweden : Recent Research and Present Trends in an International Perspective
  • 2006
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A number of studies have been organised in Sweden, internationally on students ́ reading skills. IEA has organised the Six Subject Survey Study in 1970, the Reading Literacy Study in 1991 and PIRLS in 2001. The OECD has organised the PISA studies in 2000 and 2003.There have also been a number of studies undertaken only in Sweden. The Swedish National Agency for Education has published evaluation reports, covering the years 1992, 1995 and 2003, in which reading skills have been included. Karin Taube has been the project leader for a number of studies in different Swedish municipalities. These projects include testing of reading skills of all students in grade 3 in Stockholm 1993 –1999 and in grade 8 in Stockholm 1997 –2000.All these data some published and some not yet published, provide an opportunity to analyse questions related to students ́ reading. The data covers several years from 1970 to 2006 and concerns students in grades 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9. Some of the studies on reading allow comparisons over time. The studies organised within the framework of IEA make it possible to compare students’ reading skills in 1970, 1991 and 2001. The national assessments published by the Swedish National Agency for Education compare reading skills in 1989 (?), 1992, 1995 and 2003. The studies organised in Stockholm allows comparisons over the years 1993 to 1999 in grade 3 and 1997 to 2000 in grade 8. Also the PISA study may contribute, but only with two assessments in 2000 and 2003.Is it possible to speak about general trends based on the information available from the different studies? What may be the directions of these trends? Have reading skills among children and young people improved or do they read worse now than they used to do? How may changes in reading skills relate to changes in education policy and general changes in society during these years?

  • Methodologies to optimize the impact of ICT on teaching and learning
  • 2009
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The European eLearning Forum for Education 2 (ELFE2) is a project initiated by the ETUCE (European Trade Union Committee on Education). The project builds on the conclusion of its predecessor ELFE 1, where the use of ICT in education was found to bring a number of benefits to learning and teaching in the studied schools. It was found that the schools stressed motivation, skills, independence and team work as part of learning and learning processes. Regarding teaching processes and teachers it was found that enthusiasm and collaboration seemed to increase when using ICT. However, many existing barriers prevent these benefits from evolving into a solid added value for teaching and learning. ELFE 2 aims, as ELFE 1, to contribute to a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of using ICT in education. The project deals particularly with identifying the methodologies used to optimize these benefits of ICT in education. In order to further explore how ICT can be used to support teaching and learning two schools each in five European countries (Denmark, England, Latvia, Poland, and Slovenia) were selected. These schools were selected based on information that indicated that they were regarded nationally as schools with an advanced ICT practice. The idea behind this selection is that by studying schools with what is experienced as an advance practice it will be possible to get some hints about developments, problems and challenges other schools will be faced with in the future. The collected data in ELFE2 indicates that a number of methodologies are used in the visited schools to optimize the positive impact of ICT on teaching and learning. Most of these methodologies are perceived by teachers and students as positive, but there are also factors that make the picture more complex. Some factors seem to be an obstacle for the introduction of ICT in the schools. There are also factors that seem to be a threat to a sustainable use of ICT and also to transferability of good experiences from the involved schools to other schools. The final report of the ELFE2 project will be presented in September 2009 and will form the basis for the paper. Methods/methodology The schools visited in the ELFE2 project were selected by the national teacher organizations as examples of secondary schools where the use of ICT in the schools should be aimed at pedagogical methods and/or addressing new curricular goals. The schools should be regarded as advanced in respect of ICT use in their countries. The selected schools can be regarded as ten case studies. Questionnaires on school ‘facts and figures’, interviews of various categories using interview checklists were used as the research instruments accompanied by walking around in the school and investigating school documents. The school principal was interviewed and also asked to complete a questionnaire. The schools ICT coordinator was asked to complete a questionnaire with information about the schools technical equipment. Focus groups of teachers and students were met and interviewed to identify the perceptions of ICT in school by various stakeholders.

  • Reading among students of immigrant origin in a number of Swedish municipalities: Analysing differences in reading skills between students of immigrant origin and Swedish students and differences related to age, gender, participation in remedial education, participation in education in Swedish as a second language and participation in mother tongue education. : Paper presented at the AILA - Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée ( International Association of Applied Linguistics) World Congress, Essen, August 2008

  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Mid Sweden University and Kalmar University have organised studies on reading skills among students in grade 8 during 2002 – 2007 in Nacka, Sollentuna, Tyresö and Upplands-Väsby. All students in grade 8 in the municipalities have participated in the studies. In total 16 287 students participated. These studies have included a reading test and information collected from the teachers about students’ age, gender, mother tongue, participation in remedial education, participation in mother tongue education and participation in education in Swedish as a second language. The results from these studies are used to compare the reading skills of the Swedish students and the students of immigrant origin. The analysis take age and gender into consideration. A comparison is made between Swedish students and students of immigrant origin receiving remedial education. Within the group of students of immigrant origin a comparison is made between those who have participated in education in their mother tongue and those who have not participated in such education. A comparison is also be made between those who have participated in education in Swedish as a second language and those who have not participate in this education. The purpose of these comparisons are to find out whether: - the same gender differences in reading skills can be found among Swedish students and students of immigrant origin? - the same age differences in reading skills can be found among Swedish students and students of immigrant origin? - there are differences between Swedish students who participated in remedial education and students of immigrant origin who participated in remedial education? - there are differences between the students of immigrant origin who participated in mother tongue education and the students of immigrant origin who did not participate in mother tongue education? - there are differences between the students of immigrant origin who participated in education in Swedish as a second language and the students of immigrant origin who did not participate in education in Swedish as a second language?   The results are further discussed and related to findings from other surveys, both national and international.

  • Reading and education for students of immigrant origin in a number of Swedish municipalities : Paper presented at European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) in Gothenburg, in September 2008
  • 2008
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Mid Sweden University and Kalmar University have organised surveys on reading skills in a number of Swedish municipalities. All students in grade 8 in these municipalities have participated in the surveys, in total 16 287 students. These surveys have included a reading test and information collected from the teachers about the students, including participation in instruction in Swedish as a second language and in their mother tongues.   Students of immigrant origin in Sweden are offered the possibility to participate in instruction in Swedish as a second language and in their mother tongue. Collected data from the municipalities are used to see whether the percentage of students of immigrant origin participating in these types of instruction is increasing or decreasing. The data are also used to look at differences between those students of immigrant origin who participate and not participate in these types of instruction. Are there differences in the results on the reading tests? Are different language groups participating to the same extent in these types of instruction? Are there gender differences related to the participation in these types of instruction?   The results will be further discussed and related to findings from other surveys, both national and international.

  • Reading and remedial education among students of immigrant origin in a number of Swedish municipalities
  • 2008
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Mid Sweden University and Kalmar University have organised studies on reading skills in a number of Swedish municipalities. All students in grade 8 in these municipalities have participated in the studies, approximately 24 000 students. These studies have included a reading test and information collected from the teachers about the students, including participation in remedial education.   Students of immigrant origin face two problems in relation to remedial education. One problem is that these students receive remedial education because the teachers wrongly assume that the students’ reading problems are related to general reading difficulties instead of problems related to weak understanding of Swedish. The other problem is that students of immigrant origin may not get the remedial education they should have because their reading problems are not discovered as teachers assume that their problems are related to weak understanding of Swedish. In order to analyse this the students of immigrant origin will be compared with the Swedish students in respect of participation in remedial education and reading test results.   The results will be further discussed and related to findings from other surveys, both national and international

  • Reading and students’ well-being
  • 2006
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Mid Sweden University and Kalmar University have organised studies on reading skills among students in grade 8 in Ekerö, Härnösand, Kristianstad, Nacka, Sollentuna and Tyresö. These studies have included a reading test and a questionnaire where the students have been asked to give information about themselves, their schooling and their motivation. Some of the questions have dealt with the students feeling of well-being in relation to their schools, the school work and their class mates. This data is analysed from the perspective of how students’ well-being and reading test results relate to each other. The data is also further analysed from a perspective of gender, students’ mother tongue and ethnical background.
