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.

European Women in Mathematics -- Proceedings of the Eighth General Meeting
- 1999
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Proceedings of the eighth general meeting [held at] the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy, 12-17 December, 1997. The book contains reports from three sessions, one on p-adic Numbers, organized by Catherine Goldstein (with talks by Capi Corrales Rodrigàñez, Francoise Delon, Catherine Goldstein), one on Representations of Groups, organised by Michele Vergne (with talks by Maria Welleda Baldoni, Pascale Harinck, Idun Reiten, Christine Bessenrodt), and one interdisciplinary session on Symmetries, organised by Ina Kersteii and Sylvie Paycha. The latter one was organised in the spirit of the interdisciplinary session at Madrid; it contained two invited talks (by Ljudmila Bordag and Tsou Sheung Tsun) and talks suggested by participants in Trieste (by Emilia Petrisor, Tatiana Ivanova, Inna Yemelyanova, Ufuk Taneri, Valentina Goloubeva).

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under Vetenskapsfestivalen i Göteborg 2001 bjöd matematiska institutionen på Chalmers och Göteborgs universitet på matematiska experiment för skolklasser. I en av aktiviteterna var det funktionslådor som eleverna fick undersöka. En elev spelar funktionens roll och de andra experimenterar med den och försöker lista ut vilken funktionen är. Målet är att eleverna på ett aktivt och lekfullt sätt ska få möta funktioner.

Group assignments for contact and communication in distance education
- 2022
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In 2021, we designed and used new group assignments in the first math course of online version of the Foundation Year (Swedish: Basåret.) Besides learning the mathematical content and introducing mathematical software, the goals of the group assignments were: • To give students an opportunity to meet each other • To train cooperation and communication in mathematics • To confront student with open-ended questions • To widen student’s view of how to study mathematics Students were randomly assigned to a new group of 4 or 5 each week, and asked to take a specific role in the discussion (e.g. discussion facilitator, illustrator, scribe, connection maker). Both the format, the formulation of assignments and the use of roles for group collaboration are inspired by research in Mathematics Education. We collected the assignments that were turned in, peer response and a student evaluation, as material for further development and research. In our talk, we will discuss design, benefits and challenges of using this type of group assignments.
