A Tentative approach towards a Consensus between Theories about Science Education and Practices in Comprehensive Schools : A comparative study of five post-millennial dissertations
- 2012

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A comparative study has been undertaken of five post-millennial dissertations in Science Education in order to discuss the possible implications of their theoretical perspectives on practices in comprehensive schools. These theories include individual constructivism, sociocultural constructivism, social constructivism, theory of variations and combinations of these theoretical approaches. Even if these theories mainly are focused on learning, they might render tentative hints on acts of teaching. The theory of variations shows how questions might open up for activities which are not directly apparent for a teacher and the theory points out that it is fruitful to present the content of the subject matter in different ways. The sociocultural constructivistic theory focuses on communication between participants and shows how utilization of artefacts might create possibilities for enhancement of learning. The theory for individual constructivism sheds light upon processes of intrapersonal learning. Three different paradigms, emanating from these dissertations, are discussed in relation to school context, they are: acquisition, participation and constitution. It might thus be fruitful for teachers in comprehensive schools to study the contents of these dissertations and to reflect upon how these aspects of didactics could shed light upon teaching and for example to be able to take into account the differences between first and second order perspectives. The future development of didactics seems to lead towards hybrids of these Grand Theories in which for example a change from a dualistic towards a non-dualistic perspective on the relation between subject and object might be fruitful to take into account.

The introduction of Design into Technology Education

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Since 1994 the curriculum for technology education in Sweden aimed at teaching technology from five perspectives: a historical and international perspective; an interactional perspective taking into account the interaction between man, technology and nature; a functional perspective taking into account the ability of technology for storage, transportation, transformation and control; a perspective regarding infra-systemic aspects between components and a system a perspective of making practical constructions and achieving solutions to different technological problems. Since the beginning of the year 2003 a perspective of communication has been tentatively added to these perspectives, as we introduced an aspect of design into our courses at Göteborg University. We thus analyze and apply these six perspectives when we teach design and technology. We regard design as a product and as a process in our course on technology and design. Designing is not only applicable to materialistic products but in an increasing amount to products in the virtual cyber world, which is, to a certain extend, becoming increasingly more integrated with our real life world.

Lärande ur ett neurovetenskapligt perspektiv

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Erfarenheter från två forskarutbildningskurser i neurovetenskap med inriktning mot undervisning och lärande har genomförts och påvisat det fruktbara i att utveckla de tablerade pedagogiska och didaktiska teorierna om lärande till att även omfatta en neurovetenskaplig aspekt. De diskussioner och tankar som utbytts under kursens gång har på ett påtagligt sätt berikat insikten om hur hjärnan bearbetar information och om hur lärande går till på den neurala nivån. En sådan ansats kan leda till praktiska tillämpningar i undervisningen och förtjänar därför att uppmärksammas inom lärarutbildningen i Sverige. Det genombrott som, genom studier av hjärnans funktion med modern scanningteknik, har skett på det neurovetenskapliga forskningsfältet kan skapa nya och potentiellt fruktbara möjligheter för forskning om hur lärandeprocessen skulle kunna förbättras.
