Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The main purpose of our study is concerned with the pervasive concept of validation of knowledge and competencies extensively used in Europe today. We believe that the wide diversity of the methods used as well as their theoretical supports is many times confusing and sometimes contradictory.The OECD formulated in 1996, a strategy to make the lifelong learning a reality for all. That included, the creation of new instruments for validation of knowledge and competencies. The European commission supported this strategy for lifelong learning in their memorandum from 2000. The Commission stressed the need for a lifelong learning strategy; build on, active citizenship, increased employment, and mobility within Europe. The strategy is expected to facilitate the development of systems and methods that assert education and competencies as necessary tools for development, accepted by workplaces and institutions. Since that period strategies and methods for validation have been extensively developed and tested in the European arena.Within the European Universities Lifelong Education Network, EUCEN we are, together with many European partners, involved in an Observatory of validation. Our work consists of gathering information, scrutinizing validation processes and assessing different texts about validation. In our understanding validation, neither as a concept nor as a phenomenon, is interpreted in a common way among people who are in a professional way working with validation.Despite or maybe because of the broad variety of “validation processes” going on in Sweden there is confusing understanding of what validation really consists of. There are many reasons why individuals want to be submitted to validation, risking to loose job, wanting a new job, to start to study or even to get a higher income. We have also seen that sometimes the ambition to validate candidates comes from the industry, especially when a certain job has a low status. We are asking the question whether all these experiences really can be identified and labelled as validation?The aim of our study is to conduct a critical analysis of validation as concept and phenomenon. In the text we will present two or three different processes of validation and interpret them in relation to both the Swedish official definition of validation and also related to the two goals declared by The European commission, and mentioned above. A main question for our study is: Can validation be seen as a solution to all problems or do we need more sophisticated concepts, that are giving support and guidance for a true and substantial validation?

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall aim of this thesis is to explore freedom of speech and aspects of credibility related to the Internet. The phenomenon freedom of speech is seen and examined principally from a communicative perspective. Theoretically the thesis is based on three key concepts: Internet, freedom of speech, and credibility. Four studies are included; each of them focuses on the main problem from different angles using different methods.In the first study, two websites on the Internet, both having reference to the Holocaust, are examined. The aim is to identify some kind of hypertextual dialogue between Living history [Levande historia], representing a serious project about human respect and democracy, and True history [Sann historia], a plagiator expressing a revisionist opinion. The second study examines a media debate about freedom of speech and censorship related to the Internet found in newspaper articles published during 1997-1999, to see which issues these newspapers emphasise, and how the role of the Internet is described. The third study focuses on how university students writing essays assess the credibility of scientific information in web-based environments. In a questionnaire, the students estimate the importance they attach to 24 different elements. The fourth study seeks to increase the understanding of the function and dynamics of Wikipedia as a collaboratively shaped wiki-encyclopaedia. In e-mail interviews, active users are asked about their impressions and experiences.Based on the studies, some reflections on what could be considered as special with the freedom of speech on the Internet are presented. These reflections, in terms of seven aspects, are referred to as the hypertext structure, the collage effect, boundless identities, shift in responsibility, parallel worlds and hyper reality, the compensating effect, and the leaching effect. A concept, denominated the hypertextual dialogue, has emerged during the work on this thesis. This concept has a technical, an intertextual and a discursive level.The discussion deals with the news media’s approach towards the Internet, what their possible agenda could be, and the impact they have on people. Internet’s pluralism and its consequences are discussed. Wikipedia could serve as a model by showing how committed individuals interact to create a competitive product. When users interact with and within the hypertextual structure, the construction of meaning, as well as the responsibility for the consequences, would move from the texts’ original authors to the users. Perhaps the Internet requires the involvement of some kind of homo navigare who is able to function within, outside and between digital arenas.
