- This paper investigates the potential aspects of visual literacy that might appear when visual analytics and students interact in social science secondary classrooms. Interacting with visual technology likely demands new forms of literacy as various dimensions of complexity emerge in such learning activities where reading imposes order and relevance on what is displayed. However, only a few studies have evaluated how these visual processes emerge. Applying a socio-material semiotic approach, this paper examines the interactions between teachers, students and a visual analytics application, clarifying what strengthens or weakens the socio-material relations at work in emerging visual literacy. Methodologically, a design-based research approach is chosen. Notably, it is the early stages of the designed-based research cycle that are applied. Interventions were designed and conducted in five classes in three secondary schools in Sweden (97 students). The visual analytics application introduced was Statistics eXplorer. For each class, two to three lessons were video recorded to capture how the students interacted with the application. The socio-material analyses show that the interactions between the visual analytics and the students were both strengthened and weakened by different social as well as material forces. The actions were directed by visual properties such as movement, highlighting, and color, properties that often resulted in quick vision or locked vision. This paper argues that there needs to be a close didactic alignment and deeper knowledge of how visual interfaces attract students’ attention and how students’ visual literacy emerges in that relationship.

- This paper aims to explore how visual literacy emerges when visual analytics and students enact in social science secondary classrooms. Interacting with visual technology likely demands new forms of literacy as various dimensions of complexity emerge in such learning activities, where reading become a way to impose order and relevance on what is displayed. However, there is a lack of research how these visual processes emerge. By applying a socio-material semiotic approach, the interactions between teachers, students and a visual analytics application are followed. The paper clarifies what might strengthen or weaken the socio-material relations at work in emerging visual literacy. This design-based study was conducted in five classes in three secondary schools in Sweden, with 97 students. The visual analytics application introduced was Statistics eXplorer. Each class were followed two to three lessons by a video recording program that captured both the students and the actions at the computer screen. The socio-material analyses show that the enactments between the visual analytics and the students were both strengthened and weakened by different social as well as material forces. The actions were directed by visual properties as movement, highlighting and color. Connecting to the students these often produced a quick vision or a "locked" vision. The paper argues for close didactic alignment and deeper knowledge of how the visual interface attracts human (students’) attention and how students’ visual literacy ablilites may emerge in that relation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, a visual analytics application is put into practice in Swedish secondary school social science classrooms. The application offers support to analyse vast amounts of data through interactive data visualizations. Previous studies have demonstrated that the visual interactive interface challenges the traditional practice in school, where students usually demonstrate their knowledge by means of written texts. Thus, this study examines what happens if students work with more malleable, adaptable, or fluid modes when attempting to express their conclusions from work with interactive data visualizations. It aims to detect patterns in how knowledge visualizations are produced and arranged multimodally. Inspired by design-based research, the study conducted two classroom interventions followed by video captures. It employed a socio-material semiotic approach, which enables the study of interactions between both social and material actors. Three patterns emerged when students’ insights were translated into knowledge visualizations – exploring, gathering, and inserting. It became obvious how different actors taking part of such a digital multimodal writing activity affect and change every actor/everyone/everything, which in turn transfers, relocalizes, reformulates, and re-presents the communicated message. Knowing how knowledge visualizations are produced might strengthen students’ visual abilities when transforming insights multimodally.

Towards Visual Literacy in School : Interactions between Students and Interactive Visualizations in Social Science Classrooms

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This compilation thesis explores how the double aspect of visual literacy is enacted in secondary schools’ social science classrooms when interactive data visualizations are employed. The aim is to map what characterizes ‘reading’ interactive data visualizations and ‘writing’ knowledge visualizations, as well as implications for a didactic design supporting students’ visual literacy. The interactive visualization introduced by this thesis is the visual analytics application Statistics eXplorer, which offers support in analyzing vast amounts of data. Such information-rich interfaces provide possibilities for students to find correlations and draw conclusions, but they also generate complexities regarding interactive and multimodal texts and require modes other than the written when insights are to be demonstrated. The thesis is positioned under the umbrella of actor–network theory, thereby a socio-material perspective guides the study of interactions between actors (students, teachers, lesson plans, visualizations, written texts, etc.) Applying design-based research, an intervention is designed and conducted in seven social science classrooms comprised of four teachers and 152 students. The empirical material consists of zoomed-in webcam recordings capturing the students’ faces, voices, and gestures as well as the activities on the screens. It also includes wide-angle captures, field notes, and one focus group. Material discursive analysis guides the analytical work. The findings reveal a reading characterized as intense, performative, collaborative, and dynamic. The reading process is distinguished by searches for a starting point, a production of reading direction, and a continuously changing reading surface. The writing of knowledge visualizations is characterized by exploring, gathering, and inserting visuals as carriers of information. Furthermore, by identifying critical issues in the classrooms a didactic design framework is constructed, which demonstrates how teachers can support the development of students’ visual literacy.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study qualitatively examines synchronous online encounters in Swedish teacher education, learning from the distance and hybrid mode triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, conceptualized as emergency remote teaching. The separation of bodies in such online teacher education challenges participants’ sensory involvement and how they can be “present” to one another. The aim of this study is to scrutinize body-sensory dimensions of presence to enlighten online encounters in teacher training in circumstances of emergency remote teaching, as well as in contemporary and future online teacher education, generally. Online encounters were documented by video recordings during online seminars and lectures, and by diary entries and focus groups with eight teacher educators and their students. With inspiration from a posthumanist problematization of communication and post-qualitative methodology, the analytical process puts the concepts alterity and attunement to work with the data. Results show that online teaching encounters provides an altered body-sensory situation to which participants sensorily attune in different ways, bringing both positive, and troublesome affects. Different sensory attunements further involve exploiting some body-sensory dimensions (i.e. vision) when others are concealed. When performing teacher training of all levels through emergency remote teaching/online teacher education, awareness of how the material setting of online encounters affects the body and thus the didactic conditions for building meaningful relationships in the study environment, is important. Since the lived body has a key role in teachers’ professional becoming, the study suggests a critical, creative consideration of its full sensory, along with further, qualitative expansion of online teacher education.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- När covid-19-pandemin skakar utbildningssystemet i grundvalarna angrips inte bara elever och lärare utan också de pågående processer som skapas i utbildningens relationella spänningsfält. Syftet med denna text är att belysa lärares förmåga att ta in och agera i den unika fysiska och digitala kontext som uppstår. Studien genomfördes mellan 19 mars och 19 april 2020. Genom dagboksanteckningar och reflektionsnoteringar dokumenterade fem svensklärare sin skolvardag under denna tid. Med hjälp av begreppet respons- och ansvarskapabel pedagogik analyseras de förändrade processerna och lärares agerande. Studien visar att de komplexa händelserna aktiverar lärares känslighet för sina inneboende förmågor och sin moraliska kompass. Med andra ord, de sociala, politiska och materiella relationer som uppstår påverkar lärares etisk-politiska praktik. Det blir än mer centralt att vara uppmärksam, nyfiken och agera ansvarsfullt. En sådan respons- och ansvarskapabel pedagogik förstärks alltså när den gängse lärarpraktiken delvis är satt ur spel. Avslutningsvis diskuteras hur undervisningen ska bedrivas framöver. Hur ska vi tänka när skolan fortsätter att innebära en turbulent tillvaro?

How digital activities become (im)possible in Swedish school-age educare centres
- 2023

Ingår i: Journal of Childhood, Education & Society. - 2717-638X. ; 4:1, s. 84-94

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores how digital tools play a part in the practices of Swedish school-age educare centres (SAEC). The aim is to contribute knowledge about opportunities and/or obstacles in and with digital activities in SAEC practices. Data is produced using observations and conversations at five SAEC centres. The SAEC practice is found to be characterized by three different approaches to digital tools and their use: 1) A permeating practice, where digital tools are an integrated part of the whole day, 2) A happening practice, where digital tools are present on special occasions, and 3) A neglecting practice, where digital tools are absent. These differences can be connected to how teachers interpret their assignment but also to differences in competence, access, and interest in relation to digital tools. This entails that SAEC pupils are given unequal opportunities to develop digital skills.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the last three decades, the development of digital technology, and not least the Internet, has affected how we communicate, make meaning, and learn, both on an individual and on societal levels. Changes in communication patterns also coincide with increased globalization, changes in production and economic conditions. What drives what is difficult to ascertain, but all factors impact the educational system and contribute to the changing conditions for teaching and learning. Teaching nowadays involves the use and incorporation of digital technologies where learning increasingly becomes a matter of student-active participation, collaboration and sharing. Moreover, students need to be able to interpret information from a diversity of sources and media, formulate questions for this content and solve problems (Binkley et al., 2012; EU, 2017; Godhe et al., 2020). This special issue aims to showcase digital approaches to communication with the help of case studies that illuminate how text, information and multimodality in the digital age shape and influence education.Article Details

Kvalitativ (digital) kompetens : En studie av multimodalitet i svenskundervisningen på högstadiet och gymnasiet
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vari består egentligen digital kompetens i relation till skolans undervisning? Kan en sådan definieras på en generell, ämnesövergripande nivå eller behöver begreppet nyanseras i interaktion med skolans olika ämnen? I den här boken adresserar vi didaktiska frågor som uppstår i relation till en pågående, global och till stora delar digitalt driven förändring av samhället och därmed skolan. Denna förändring påverkar om inte innebörden av, så i alla fall de praktiska uttrycken för en tänkande, kunskapsskapande individs mest grundläggande förmågor: att läsa och skriva; att kommunicera; att hantera olika typer av text i olika typer av sammanhang. Ett begrepp som inte sällan dyker upp när mötet mellan dessa förmågor och samhällets förändring diskuteras är just digital kompetens. Begreppet har ofta använts, exempelvis i olika policy-, strategi- och styrdokument (Utbildningsdepartementet, 2017) med ett kvantitativt fokus på att digitala verktyg ska tas i bruk i undervisningen, helst i alla lärares klassrum och helst så mycket som möjligt. Den implementering som skett av en mängd olika digitala verktyg i skolan har också fått till följd att digitala resurser ofta diskuteras i dikotomi med andra, analoga och redan befintliga resurser: den digitala (moderna) skolan ställs ofta mot (gårdagens) ”papper och penna-skola” (jfr Biesta, 2022). Detta, menar vi, är olyckligt då det skapar en falsk föreställning, som skymmer sikten för hur olika resurser – digitala såväl som analoga – kan fungera på olika sätt, erbjuda olika möjligheter i olika situationer, för olika personer och i relation till olika syften, såväl i som också utanför skolans värld.
