- Purpose This paper aims to enrich our theoretical understanding of the phenomenon of sensemaking where a conceptual shift was provoked by a serendipitous encounter. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical framework consisting of three elements of reflexivity: the cognitive, the social, and the normative, all of which support the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the investigation of a serendipitous Episode that occurred in a larger research project. This Episode took place at a meeting between a social welfare officer and a psychologist in which they discussed the treatment of a psychiatric patient. When the psychologist left the meeting for a brief period, the researchers, unexpectedly, were able to interview the social welfare officer alone. Findings This interview revealed a deviation from the institutionalised patient treatment procedure that was explained to the researchers in earlier interviews. The study shows that shifts in sensemaking are possible when researchers are open to serendipitous encounters. This shift in sensemaking in this Episode was strategic because it concerned the most important element of the actor’s decision making: the cooperation around the patient in making diagnoses and in prescribing treatment. Research limitations/implications It is recommended that researchers use the theoretical framework of reflexivity to test their sensemaking processes as well as remain open to changes in planned, traditional methodological approaches. Originality/value The study applies a post-hoc analysis with reflections on serendipitous events that may guide researchers when they encounter unanticipated events and make anomalous discoveries.

- Purpose This study examines, within the context of professional practice and learning, how designers collaboratively working in international teams experience practice-based learning and how such occasions contribute to professional development. Design/methodology/approach The paper introduces the Cooperation Project between TTC-Furntech and its workshop context organized as practice-based learning. Participants’ learning context consisted of a mixture of professional practices allowing different logics and different cultures make up an innovative working site. Qualitative analysis of semi-structured interview data suggest that three phenomenographic hierarchical categories constitute the learning process; (a) getting a recognised professional identity; (b) perceiving new elements and expanding knowledge; (c) seeing new aspects of design work and new steps of development in profession. Findings Cooperative practice-based learning is understood as social practice in a community of practice, and as continuous changes of the learning object due to that new aspects are discerned by the learners. These categories illustrate how participants’ meaning making and understanding of the learning object, were expressed in cooperation as doings and sayings, as translation, and as situated activities in a community of practice. Accordingly, it contributed to participants’ professional development in spite of their different professional educations and professional experiences. Practical implications More studies of practice-based learning environments in work places are needed that could help societies and companies to advance integrative efforts of new employees and new immigrants into an increasingly diverse globalized labour market. Originality/value The results suggest that understanding as well as content structure and meaning making of the learning object are intertwined constituent aspects of practice-based learning.

Reinvestigating the theory and practice gap in Participatory Educational Research
- 2020

Ingår i: International Journal for Lesson and Learning Studies. - 2046-8253. ; 9:1, s. 1-10

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose/aim - The aim of this paper is to open a reinvestigation of the theory and practice gap and its consequences for teachers’ participation in research into their own practice. Further, to explore if the gap is partly an artefact of the underlying epistemology made visible in the institutional practices of education and teacher training and in participatory educational research. Accordingly, the overarching purpose is to gain deeper understanding of classroom teaching as participatory educational research. Design/methodology/approach - By revealing contrasting features of different theoretical frameworks applied in case studies, the paper contributes to the illumination of how to bridge the gap between theory and practice and reveals how some of the case studies accomplish research with teachers and research on teachers in varying degrees in research processes. Findings - Teachers’ roles in case studies vary due to (a) the applied theoretical research approach and (b) due to different phases of the research process. Findings suggest that the theory and practice gap is complex and that classroom teaching is a multi-disciplinary activity related to a great number of contextual factors. The gap is possible to bridge in some of the steps in the research process. Findings from a meta-study of 45 lesson studies (Whitney, 2019) indicate that results from these studies were shared with few teachers and schools outside the local school context. Originality/value - The paper provides insights into participatory educational research from teachers’ perspectives and researchers’ varying perspectives.

Gendered communicative construction of patients in consultation settings

- This study aimed to explore the communication in consultations between patients and health care staff from a gender perspective. We used 23 tape-recorded consultations between patients with Atrial Fibrillation and 5 nurses and 5 physicians at cardiac outpatient clinics at 6 different hospitals in southern Sweden during autumn 2009 to explore the verbal gendered constructions of patients. Through critical discourse analysis, we revealed that the male patients tended to describe their ailments with performance-oriented statements, whereas the female patients usually used emotional-oriented statements. The staff downplayed the male patients' questions and statements, while they acknowledged concern toward the female patients. Both the patients and the staff made conclusions according to a mutual construction. Male patients were constructed as competent, and female patients as fragile through gender-stereotypical communication. Open-ended statements and questions enabled consultations to be less limited by gender stereotypes.
