Living Away from Blessings : School Failure as Lived Experience
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This dissertation seeks to unveil and describe students’ experiences of school failure. Traditionally, research in the field has tended to approach school failure from a societal perspective, often construing school failure as a drop-out problem. Consequently, adults have been authorized to define how the notion of school failure is to be understood, and have usually attributed it to inadequate grades, and/or cognitive shortcomings on the part of the students. Moreover, scientific and governmental reports regularly provide us with statistics concerning drop-out rates. What these statistics do not tell us, however, is how the students themselves define and experience school failure. Parallel to the drop-out research, classroom research has traditionally focused on the teacher-student interaction, mainly from a “teacher-thinking” perspective. This dissertation offers an alternative understanding of the notion of school failure: it examines students’ lived experiences of school failure in the classroom. Former students in an individual program and inmates in juvenile institutions shared their lived experiences of a school failure. The students were asked to write down their recollections of a specific moment when they felt that they had failed in school. In addition to the written experiential accounts, the students’ experiences were explored further in interviews. The lived-experience descriptions show that the students view school failure as having little to do with cognitive inadequacy; rather, they understand school failure as a behavioral deficiency on their part. Thus, the center of attention is not on the student-learning perspective, but the student-teacher relationship. The phenomenological, thematic analyses show that the experience of school failure is a complex phenomenon that reaches far beyond grades and dropping out. The temporal, spatial, and relational dimensions of experiencing school failure include feelings of disappointment, non-recognition, loneliness, boredom, shame, marginalization, stigmatization, inferiority, and worthlessness. A subsidiary aim of the dissertation is to contribute to the development of the phenomenological research method “phenomenology of practice.” The method, developed by Max van Manen and inspired by the scholars of the Utrecht school, integrates phenomenology, hermeneutics, and semiotics. The “phenomenology of practice” approach, which aims to disclose taken-for-granted attitudes, and has proved beneficial for exploring practical, pedagogical issues, such as experiences of school failure.

Udenfor : börns oplevelser af nederlag i skolen
- 2013
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hvordan kan vi forstå børns oplevelser af nederlag i skolen? Og hvordan kan vi bruge den viden i en pædagogisk kontekst? I denne bog giver forfatteren sine bud på veje til at opnå en dybere forståelse af de elever, som oplever at falde udenfor i skolen. Gennem elevernes egne beskrivelser af øjeblikke, hvor de følte, at de mislykkedes i skolen, bliver det klart, at spørgsmålet om nederlag i skolen ofte ikke handler om elevernes kognitive viden og evner – eller mangel derpå – men om de pædagogiske relationer og situationer i klasselokalet.Elevernes oplevelser skildrer blandt andet skuffelse, ensomhed, skam og følelsen af at blive marginaliseret og være værdiløs. Ved at italesætte disse temaer maner forfatteren til refleksion og eftertænksomhed i den pædagogiske praksis. Læreren må se bagom den problematiske adfærd og have hele elevens hverdag og verden for øje for at kunne opnå en mere nuanceret forståelse af den enkelte elevs bevæggrunde. Ud fra denne helhedsforståelse kan læreren så justere sin pædagogiske tilgang til eleven.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- BACKGROUNDNeurosurgical resection is an important treatment option in the multimodal therapy of brain metastases (BM). Perioperative imaging is established in primary brain tumors to assess the extent of resection. However, structured guidelines on the use of perioperative imaging for BM patients are so far missing.METHODSThe European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) Youngsters committee designed a comprehensive questionnaire on the use of perioperative imaging. The survey was distributed to physicians with neuro-oncologic focus via the EANO and the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) network.RESULTS120 physicians from non-European countries and European countries responded to the survey. 76/120 neurosurgeons, 18/120 radiation oncologists and 17/120 neurologists participated. 89/120 participants worked at academic hospitals and 39/40 participants worked in high patient volume centers as defined by >50 BM cases per year. Local standard operating procedures for perioperative imaging were applied by 94/120 physicians. The preferred preoperative imaging method represented MRI for 112/120 (93.3%) participants. Postsurgical imaging was routinely performed by 106/120 physicians. 77/120 participants indicated MRI as the preferred postoperative imaging method, however, only 71/120 performed postoperative MRI imaging within 72 hours after resection. No correlation of postsurgical MRI and localization at an academic hospital (58/79 [73.4%] vs. 19/27 [70.4%], p>0.05) or patient volume (49/71 [69%] vs 25/40 [62.5%], p>0.05) was evident. The most frequently indicated reason for postsurgical imaging was the assessment of extent of resection as participants indicated to adjust the radiotherapy plan or even considered re-surgery to achieve complete resection. CONCLUSIONS: This EANO survey indicates that preoperative MRI is the preferred imaging technique for the majority of physicians, whereas a high variability of postoperative neuroimaging routines including CT and MRI was observed. International guidelines for perioperative imaging with special focus on postoperative MRI are warranted in order to optimize perioperative treatment modalities for BM patients.

Eight weeks of exercise reduced knee adduction moment during one-leg rise in patients with early knee osteoarthritis
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- BackgroundReduced functional performance is a risk factor for development of knee osteoarthritis, and peak knee adduction moment is associated with radiographic progression. Knee adduction moment can be reduced by high tibial osteotomy. The effect of dynamic stabilization through increased muscle performance is not known.AimsTo study the effect from exercise on external peak knee adduction moment during one-leg rise, and the relationship between peak knee adduction moment during one-leg rise and maximum number of one-leg rise.Methods13 patients, aged 48–63, with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis underwent 8 weeks of supervised exercise, aiming at increasing neuromuscular control and lower extremity strength. The maximum number of one-leg rise from a stool (48 cm), 3-dimensional gait analysis and self-estimated knee symptoms were assessed before and after exercise intervention. Peak external knee adduction moment during one-leg rise and gait was calculated using a Vicon system. The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was used as assessment of knee symptoms. Patients defined their most symptomatic knee as index knee.ResultsPeak knee adduction moment during one-leg rise was reduced for the index knee from 0.57 Nm/kg at baseline to 0.51 after 8 weeks of exercise (p=0.04). The change for the opposite knee was not significant (from 0.58 to 0.56 Nm/kg, p=0.23). No significant changes were seen for index or opposite knees in peak adduction moment during gait (p>0.40). A higher maximum number of one-leg rise was correlated to a lower peak adduction moment for the index knee at baseline (rs =-0.35, p=0.24) and follow up (rs = -0.65, p=0.03). For the opposite knee the correlation was similar at baseline (rs= -0.47, p=0.10), and no correlation was seen at follow up (rs = 0.13, p=0.70). Correlations for change over time were poor (-0.43 to -0.03) and not significant (p>0.20). Patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis had higher peak adduction moment in their opposite knee, than patients without symptoms at baseline (0.72 (0.09) vs. 0.50 (0.11), p=0.01) and follow-up (0.66 (0.14) vs. 0.51 (0.07), p=0.04). The differences for the index knee pointed in the same direction, however not significant (p>0.28).ConclusionPeak knee adduction moment in the most symptomatic knee of middle-aged patients with early signs of knee osteoarthritis can be reduced by exercise. Improved muscular performance might reduce the risk of radiographic progression of knee osteoarthritis. It seem of importance to reduce pain prior to starting exercising. A lower maximum number of one-leg rise is associated with higher peak knee adduction moment and has the potential to serve as a surrogate in studies where 3-dimensional analysis is not feasible.
