Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Swedish research politics there are, at the moment, several actions taken to enhance existing and develop new research infrastructures (Axelsson and Schroeder 2007). As one example, the Swedish National Data Service (SND, http://www.snd.gu.se), an operative key actor, is currently working on coordinating existing data resources and increasing deposition of research data to the national data service and re-use of those data. SND has, as a part of this endeavour, recently conducted two survey studies, targeted at professors (N=549) and doctoral students within social sciences and humanities departments (N=1147) at Swedish universities and university colleges, in order to obtain knowledge regarding existing use and re-use of digital research data and archiving practices as well as obstacles to increased digital research data sharing. This paper focuses on the doctoral students’ data and the results are compared with the results from the parallel study of the professors and from a recent survey targeted at professors in various social sciences and humanities disciplines at Finnish universities (Kuula and Borg, 2008). The results from the current study show that doctoral students in general expressed a great uncertainty about questions of amounts of reusable digital data and effective interventions to enhance accessibility to digital research data. They identify research ethics as an important barrier to sharing digital research data, while professors emphasize lack of resources for researchers to document and make their data accessible to others as the most important obstacle. Concerning interventions to enhancing re-use of digital data, the majority of the doctoral students and the professors thought it should be effective to receive more information about accessible research data in data archives or databases. Nearly 100 % in both groups reported that also more of training in research methods, digital research databases and information about accessible e-tools would be effective interventions. The most effective interventions for enhancing accessibility to digital data were reported in terms of that research grants should include funds for preparing the data for sharing and archiving and that archiving data for use by the scientific community is acknowledged as a scientific merit. Surprisingly, when it comes to the degree of urgency in sharing their own data, the professors seem to be a bit more eager to share data than the doctoral students.

Swedish National Data Service's Strategy for Sharing and Mediating Data. Practices of Open Access to and Reuse of Research Data – The State of the Art in Sweden 2009.
- 2009

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper begins with a description of the current key actors in Sweden, which are promoting research infrastructure and accessibility to research data, put into context. The Swedish National Data Service’s (SND) organization, mission and strategy to promote data sharing is also described. SND’s strategy is a combination of top-down and bottom-up activities. An example of a top-down activity is to influence research financiers to put higher demands on future open access data when completion of studies or to to support researchers through the whole research process by providing guidelines on ethical and legal issues. Examples of bottom-up activities are to be present in different research contexts and to inform about the benefits of sharing data. One example of this is a joint project with SND and four university libraries. SND has conducted a national inventory survey, initiated in the fall of 2008, of existing databases and database research as well as attitudes towards data sharing among researchers and university managements within Social Sciences and Humanities departments at Swedish universities and university colleges. In addition, to the inventory process, two survey studies have been carried out in the spring 2009, one targeting professors and the other doctoral students in the same domains of disciplines at Swedish universities and university colleges. The questionnaire contained 80 items covering the researchers’ affiliations, domain of discipline, gender, age, familiarities with research policies and ventures, and use, re-use, archiving practices of digital research data. Furthermore, there were questions about possible reasons for not using digital data, interventions and barriers to enhanced re-use and accessibility to data, possible agents in overcoming barriers and willingness to engage in promote alternations in this area and to share their digital research data. The surveys were carried out through email-questionnaires sent to professors (N=549) and doctoral students (N=1147). The results from the surveys show that doctoral students in general expressed a great uncertainty about questions of amounts of reusable digital data and effective interventions to enhance accessibility to digital research data. They identifies research ethical aspects as important barriers to sharing digital research data, while professors emphasize lack of resources for researchers to document and make their data accessible for others as the most important obstacle. Concerning interventions to enhancing reuse of digital data, the majority of the doctoral students and the professors thought it should be effective to get more information about accessible research data in data archives or databases. Nearly 100 % in both groups reported that also more of training in research methods, digital research databases and information about accessible e-tools would be effective interventions. The most effective interventions for enhancing accessibility to digital data were reported in terms of that research grants should include funds for preparing the data for sharing and archiving and that archiving data for the use by the scientific community is acknowledged to be scientific merit. Surprisingly, when it comes to the degree of urgency in sharing their own data, the professors seem to be a bit more eager to share data than the doctoral students. The results are compared with the results from the parallel study of the professors and from a recent survey targeted at professors in various Social Sciences and Humanities disciplines at Finnish universities (Kuula and Borg, 2008).

- The aim of the study is to examine process dimensions in a model regarding family-oriented services in early intervention. Professionals in habilitation from different parts of Sweden participated (n=237). A hypothesized model was tested with Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling procedures and resulted in a hierarchical model with two main factors: a relationship dimension and an involvement/information-exchange dimension. The process of intervention comprises efforts in building relationships, enhance effective information exchange between parents and professionals, and finally find different ways of involving parents/families. The findings call for a distinction between relational and participatory elements when referring to family oriented services.

- The aim of this study was to examine process dimensions in a model regarding family-oriented services in early childhood intervention. The purpose was to capture a broad picture of Swedish habilitation services from a professional point of view. Professionals in habilitation from different parts of Sweden participated (n-237). A hypothesized model was tested with confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling procedures. The resulting hierarchical model had two main dimensions, the first having to do with relationships, and the second concerning involvement/information-exchange. The process of intervention comprises efforts in building relationships, enhancing effective information exchange between parents and professionals, and finding different ways of involving parents/families. The findings of this study call for multiple perspectives in order to work effectively in a family-oriented way, and they also call for a distinction between relational and participatory elements when referring to family- oriented services.

Dropouts and pursuers from the teacher programs – a local study
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The presentation summarizes and discusses results from a survey in 2013 directed to students who dropped out from the Teacher program at Uppsala University. Students from two cohorts were included in the study (students which started their studies in the fall 2006 and in the fall 2011). From the population of 366 students, 181 completed questionnaires were returned, which corresponds to a response rate of 49 %. However, it was clear that 30 % already had completed the teacher program, but not yet had ordered their diploma officially. 9 % had graduated from another program. In total the dropout rate was 42 % in the 2011 cohort and 50 % in cohort 2006, based on administrative registration data from the university. But, by taking the new information in account from the survey, the dropout rate from cohort 2006 could be reduced to 37 %. The main reasons for dropping out were; 1.realizing that they had made a wrong choice of professional education (38 %) and 2. that they had got behindhand in their studies (25 %), 3. They were uncertain about their choice when they applied for admission (25 %), 4. Low quality on teaching in the program (20 %), 5. Not motivated/tired of studying (20 %) and 6. Lack of more help in students counselling or better teaching (20 %). Paper only available in Swedish

Exploring pathways in university education
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the paper is to analyse enrollment patterns among students in seven first-cycle study programmes with professional qualifications using microdata from Statistics Sweden. The study programmes were for the years 2001-2002 in Architecture, Medicine, Nursing, Law, Social work, Psychology and Engineering (n=15,749). Using the theoretical framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology, the enrollment patterns were analysed with Specific Multiple Correspondence Analysis. The results showed that the most important factors that account for differences between coherent intensive and scattered extensive enrollment patterns were study programmes, gender, mother’s socioeconomic index, parents’ educational level, and type of university. Other notable factors in deviation were grades, student’s nation of birth, and parents’ nations of birth, father’s socioeconomic index, parents’ work sectors, and preparatory studies in municipal adult education.Regarding efficiency in earning credits, the most important factors were study programme and type of university. Other important factors were gender, study programmes, grades, student’s nation of birth, mother’s nation of birth, preparatory studies in municipal adult education, income, and parents’ work sectors. The factors most important for graduation pursuing were gender and type of university. Other factors that were important were study programme, grades, income, parents’ work sectors, student’s nation of birth, and parents’ nations of birth.

Exploring pathways in university education - study patterns among students in undergraduate programs with professional qualifications
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper summarises an analysis of study patterns among students at university in Sweden. The study is using a database, built on retrievals from national official register data from Statistics Sweden SCB (micro data, individual level of statistics). Students enrolled in seven first-cycle study programs with professional qualifications are included such as Architecture, Medicine, Nursing, Psychology, Law, Social work and Engineering (n=27999). Two academic year cohorts are included 1993/94, 2001/02. The data covers individual student enrolment such as: registries on freestanding courses and programs with professional qualifications, dropouts, pauses and length of pauses in studies, earned HE credits, mobility between different types of universities etc. Other information about age, sex, income, family situation/parenthood, parents’ occupations and educations, ethnic background, grades from upper secondary school, further qualification test during their studies (national university aptitude test) and graduation certificate, have also been used. The theoretical framework is based on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology and the analysing methods are Geometric data analysis especially Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Euclidian Clustering. In the analysis administrative data has carefully been coded into variable that enables analysis of intersections between class, ethnicity, age and gender in relation to students’ pathways within and from the university system.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Mål Ett övergripande mål för projektet ”Grusade förhoppningar eller lyckade nyorienteringar. Högskolestuderandes ändrade studieplaner och avhopp inom högre utbildning 1977 – 2007” har varit att undersöka mönster i högskolestuderandes studievägar. Fokus har varit på ett antal yrkesprogram och de studenter som ändrar inriktning eller avbryter sina högskolestudier i förtid. Ett viktigt område att undersöka har varit studiemönstrens karaktär och frekvens, dvs. hur vanligt det är med olika typer av kursändringar och avhopp inom olika yrkesutbildningar samt hur dessa kan relateras till studenter med olika bakgrund eller andra strukturella faktorer.I tre delstudier har projektets mål brutits ned till följande delmål: 1) att få kunskap om antagningsmönster, effektivitet och genomströmning inom ett knippe svenska yrkesprogram samt hur dessa mönster kan relateras till studenters sociala, ekonomiska och kulturella resurser; 2) att få kunskap om såväl riskfaktorer som skyddande faktorer avseende studieavbrott inom lärarutbildning samt om studenters perspektiv på att vara eftersläntrare och slutligen 3) att kritiskt undersöka hur statistik om avhopp och genomströmning är uppbyggd och om vad som händer med den vetenskapliga kunskapsproduktionen inom forskningsområdet kring genomströmning och avhopp inom högre utbildning när forskare använder internationell statistik som skapats i uppföljningssyfte för europeisk politik. I denna rapport fokuseras resultat från den första delstudien.Resultat i korthet• Högskolestudenters studiemönster skiljer sig åt i intensitet, effektivitet och genomförande. Två huvudtyper har identifierats: ett sammanhållet intensivt studiemönster respektive ett utspritt extensivt studiemönster. Till dessa mönster hör två ytterligare dimensioner rörande hög och låg effektivitet samt grad av examensbenägenhet.• Studiemönstren var främst beroende av; typ av utbildningsprogram och lärosäte samt av föräldrars socioekonomiska status och utbildningsnivå. Andra viktiga faktorer var kön, gymnasiebetyg, deltagande i studier på Komvux, inkomst, studenters och föräldrars födelseland samt föräldrars yrkessektor.• Studenter vars föräldrar har låg utbildningsnivå börjar högskolestudier senare, har ofta egen familj och läser sin utbildning koncentrerat inom ett utbildningsområde utan pauser – ett så kallat sammanhållet intensivt studiemönster.• Studenter vars föräldrar har hög utbildningsnivå använder högskolan friare och mer, dvs. de väljer längre utbildningar, men tar också pauser över både en och flera terminer från den utbildning man är antagen på och rör sig över flera utbildningsområden. Denna utbildningsstrategi kallas ett utspritt och extensivt studiemönster. Detta mönster är också vanligare hos studenter som påbörjar högskolestudier tidigt och som har höga eller medelhöga betyg.
