Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- On one hand, the Swedish governing discourse on equity in the context of digitizing education portrays modernization, progress and democracy as a foundation in the equity work. On the other hand, in the context of digitized tests, equity is rather framed within a neoliberal logic while related to all individuals’ possibilities of choosing a ‘good life’, and to compete on equal terms. Not all disadvantaged groups are the target, though. It is mainly boys who are supposed be given better grades, and, in addition, students with disabilities who are supposed to (as far as possible) be able to have the opportunity to show their knowledge during the test. Language or socioeconomically diverse settings are not mentioned with regard to digitized national tests.

Knowledge re/production in governing
- 2007
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In order to analyze shifting forms of educational governing we focus on the tools of government action. We direct our interest to different phases of the educational political process – that is policy making, mediation, realization and evaluation – and the instruments used within them. At the end of the 20th century we witnessed a shift in governing from so called centralization to decentralization.Through examples from studies on different forms of instruments – such as the politics of naming, freedom of choice, differentiation, quality reports and different kinds of assessment tools – we describe and analyze the conditions of educational politics and governing in Sweden.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENTS IN EDUCATION AS STEERING AND COMMUNICATION MEDIA.In Swedish educational research, tests, exams, grades and evaluations are often regarded as different kinds of phenomena. In line with international research we discuss them in terms of ”assessment in education”. Our interest is directed towards what unites rather than divides these phenomena, and in this article we focus on how assessment produces information on students’ performance that can be used in the governance of education. Using historical examples we argue for a view of knowledge assessment as part of the curriculum. The argument is advanced with reference to Basil Bernstein’s concept message system and Jürgen Habermas’s theory of steering and communication media
