Chalmersutbildning kan ge högre lärarstatus

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Läraryrket behöver en uppvärdering och stora pensionsavgångar samt svårigheter att konkurrera om studenter till lärarutbildningen kräver åtgärder och nytänkande. Chalmers vill därför starta ämneslärarutbildning i data, fysik, kemi, matematik och teknik så att studenten kan få både en lärarexamen och en ingenjörsexamen, skriver bland andra Samuel Bengmark, programansvarig för Chalmers lärarutbildning.

Combining engineering and teacher education – ideas and experiences from Chalmers University of Technology
- 2021

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In response to the lack of STEM teachers in Sweden, Chalmers University of Technology offers a double degree program in engineering and education. This article investigates which ideas behind the program’s design have been of particular value in implementing the program and their added value. The five main ideas are: involve skilled schoolteachers called master teachers in the education, having many entrances to the program but only one exit, using interviews as part of the admission process, using a competency model to ensure coherence in the education, focusing on concrete work skills at the beginning of the education and later move on to theory and further development. We invite other universities to consider double degree programs in engineering and education and be inspired by these five ideas in their implementation.

Pragmatic Research on Educational Practice
- 2023

Ingår i: Proceedings Chalmers Conference on Teaching and Learning 2023. - 9789188041548 ; , s. 56-59
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- During a round table discussion at a collegial conference on teaching and learning, a focus group with 12 teachers from a technical university discuss challenges with studying their own teaching practice. Furthermore, a concept called PREP – Pragmatic Research on Educational Practice, with the goal of engaging engineering educators in studying, documenting, and sharing their initiatives to improve teaching practices, is introduced and discussed. Among the main obstacles to researching their own teaching practice, the participants pointed to a lack of time, know-how, and motivation. They expressed that there is potential in the collegial part of PREP and the time efficiency of using what can be studied during a course. The role of PREP studies, in relation to regular educational research, is also discussed, and that PREP may be perceived as a devaluation of educational science was problematized. Some participants felt that it was very likely that they would participate in a PREP group next academic year if given the opportunity.

PREP – en kollegial process för att forska på sin egen undervisning.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Många av oss ingenjörsutbildare prövar olika pedagogiska idéer i vår undervisning och försöker förstå om de fungerar bra. Dock är det oftast svårt att lyckas driva analysen hela vägen, inte sällan på grund av tidsbrist, osäkerhet om hur man skall gå till väga eller bristande motivation. Vi tror därför att det behövs en ny form av kollegialt samarbete med målet att stödja undersökningar av egen undervisningspraktik som hjälper lärare att överkomma dessa utmaningar. Vi föreslår därför en kollegial process, som vi kallar PREP, Pragmatic Research on Educational Practice, som innebär att en grupp kollegor, gärna från olika universitet, stöttar varandra att genomföra studier av sina undervisningsaktiviteter. Vårt syfte med denna workshop är att berätta lite om våra erfarenheter med PREP så långt, samt att du skall få smaka på PREP och se om denna process kan vara till hjälp för dig. Samtidigt önskar vi få ta del av dina åsikter om vad i denna process som är mest värdefullt och vad som kan förbättras.

PREP- Pragmatic Research on Educational Practice
- 2023
-
Ingår i: SEFI 2023 - 51st Annual Conference of the European Society for Engineering Education : Engineering Education for Sustainability, Proceedings - Engineering Education for Sustainability, Proceedings. - : SEFI. - 9782873520267 ; , s. 163-172

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We investigate a concept called PREP - Pragmatic Research on Educational Practice, with the goal of engaging engineering educators in studying, documenting and sharing their initiatives to improve teaching practices. This concept is compared to other methodologies where the researcher and educational practitioner sometimes coincide. The study is based on a pilot, with six participants following the PREP program for three months, which we study autoethnographically. We also carried out a focus group discussion (n=12) to investigate to what extent university teachers regard the ideas from the PREP program as helpful for studying educational activities and sharing what they do and find.

What graduates want in teacher education
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research. - 0031-3831 .- 1470-1170. ; In press
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To understand what to improve in initial teacher education to better prepare teachers for their profession, we asked alumni (N = 93) from three Swedish initial teacher education programs, what in their education they thought had benefited them the most in preparing them for a teaching career, and what they thought was lacking given their professional needs. Questionnaire responses yielded seven categories: leadership, practicum, didactics, teaching methods, assessment, and personal development. Our results show that the practicum is seen as very valuable and that alumni wish they had been taught more about leadership in the classroom, and teaching methods. On the other hand, there is little evidence that the alumni value the theoretical parts of their programs, including scientific inquiry, in contrast to what research says is essential and what national regulations demand. Differences in replies between the three programs are also discussed and related to the features of the programs.

A developmentally descriptive method for quantifying shape in gastropod shells

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The growth of snail shells can be described by simple mathematical rules. Variation in a few parameters can explain much of the diversity of shell shapes seen in nature. However, empirical studies of gastropod shell shape variation typically use geometric morphometric approaches, which do not capture this growth pattern. Wehave developedaway toinfera setofdevelop-mentally descriptive shape parameters based on three-dimensional logarithmic helicospiral growth and using landmarks from two-dimensional shell images as input. We demonstrate the utility of this approach, and compare it to the geometric morphometric approach, using a large set of Littorina saxatilis shells in which locally adapted populations differ in shape. Our method can be modified easily to make it applicable to a wide range of shell forms, which would allow for investigations of the similarities and differences between and within many different species of gastropods. © 2020 The Authors.

Fermat Pedagogy – a method to help students make effective lecture notes
- 2018
-
Ingår i: 6:e utvecklingskonferensen för Sveriges ingenjörsutbildningar Göteborg, 2017-11-22 - 2017-11-23, s. 61-65. ; , s. 61-65

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We have developed and implemented a form of lecturing, which we call Fermat Pedagogy, that promotes analternative form of student note-taking. We did a comparative study in a basic calculus course if about 300 students randomly divided into two groups, one taught with Fermat Pedagogy and one control group. We used a diagnostic test and the final test to collect data. We report both the students thoughts about note-taking and also about the level of knowledge in both groups in the beginning andin the end of the course. The main three opinions about note-taking that we find in the students response are that note-taking help to keep focus, that the notes provide an shorter text and but that note-taking makes it harder to listen.The quantitative results indicates that Fermat Pedagogy can help the more motivated students to get a higher grade, but seem also have the effect that the weaker students do worse than they otherwise should have. These indications are not conclusive and need more studies to be verified. This may never the less make a foundation for a discussion on how we might look at our own lectures and how they are perceived, and documented, by our students.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Läraruppdraget är en mycket komplex uppgift. Fokus måste därför ligga på att 1. göra läraryrket attraktivt så att vi lockar de mest drivna studenterna att söka sig till yrket, och 2. se till de som är verksamma som lärare rustas för att fungera i den komplexa rollen.
