- This exploratory article represents an attempt to examine and problematize the links between the COVID-19 crisis and interculturality for education. Aiming at teacher educators, we review problems with the notion of interculturality in light of the crisis. We argue that these problems were not created by the crisis, but that the crisis unveiled them. In the first part of the article we suggest that these issues should be approached by looking into interculturality (and companion terms such as “democracy” and “equality”) as an ideology that deserves deconstructing, unthinking, reconstructing and rethinking. We also describe the problems triggered by this ideology: the need to shift from “dead imagination” (culture, difference, etc.) to unearthing the “groundwater” of the economy and globalization in the way interculturality functions. We then propose a set of three principles that could be used by teacher educators to train future teachers to deal with interculturality afresh: “Beyond comparison”, “The mirror: turning inward”, and “Questioning the unquestionables”.

- Today, school fires, vandalism, graffiti and bullying in school environments are common occurrences in Sweden. As a result, schools are faced with significant tangible and intangible costs for different types of measures, of which surveillance technology is one.This paper presents a study of newspaper articles mapping the occurrence and representation of surveillance cameras in Swedish schools and the stated arguments for and against such usage.The results indicate that the use of Surveillance technology has not always been critically appraised or evaluated; discussions about the underlying causes of problems are rare, and the developments seem to be part of a risk discourse in which a wider range of behaviour is criminalized; that young people are represented as risk factors, particularly in socioeconomically segregated areas; and an increased use of surveillance technology is only a limited remedy in what is in actual fact a much more complex societal context.

What Do We Want? A Study of the Role of Self-Efficacy in Inclusive Education: Special Educators’ Attitudes Towards Community Building
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The overall aim of this study was to describe the role of self-efficacy for inclusive education as a predictor of Swedish special educators’ attitudes towards participation by students with ID in the community outside the school building. Consequently, our research question was the following: To what extent does self-efficacy for inclusive education predict Swedish special educators’ attitudes towards participation by students with ID in the community outside the school? 148 special educators filled out questionnaires about their self-efficacy beliefs and other personal variables. We found that special educators are overwhelmingly positive towards more community building. However, self-efficacy for education of students with ID was, on average, negatively associated with attitudes towards more community building. We conclude that our findings should have consequences for teacher education programmes in special education.
