Chafing borderlands : Obstacles for Science Teaching and Learning in Teacher Education
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A major Western concern is that young people avoid science and technology programs. At various times, and in different countries, governments, funding agencies and businesses have made large investments in recruitment campaigns with the objective to increase students’ interest and attract new groups of students to these disciplines. In particular, girls and women have been the target group for many of these campaigns. The assumption is that if young people understood how exciting and interesting science is, they would choose these subjects. In other words, the problem is that young people "don’t understand what is best for their own good". In addition, research has shown that primary and pre-school student teachers often feel alienated by science education (Appleton & Kindt 2002) and that it may be difficult for these students to reconcile the role of teacher of young children with the role of science teacher in their identity formation (Danielsson & Warwick 2012). However, feminist science educators suggest that students’ lack of interest is caused by character and image of the disciplines (Brickhouse 2001; Scantlebury 2012). Feminist philosophers’ of science have challenged the view of natural sciences as objective, and argue that knowledge production is human activities that are socially and culturally situated (Haraway 1988; Harding 1986). A noted problem with science is its elitist image. Science is portrayed as difficult and demanding, and as requiring a special talent from those who study or engage with the discipline. A feminist pedagogical stance is to visualize and discuss cultural, social, and historical dimensions of science. This has also proved advantageous for the acquiring of science content knowledge (Sible et al 2006). Therefore, we argue, that one important aspect of science teacher education is to problematize science (education), e.g. by including feminist critiques of science (Capobianco 2007; Mayberry 1998).In this paper we explore the impact of a feminist teaching intervention within teacher education, focusing on the research question: What occurs when students are situated in the encounter between feminist critique of natural sciences and teacher education? What kind of obstacles can be identified and how will these effect pre-service teachers’ pedagogy of science? The intervention, data collection and analysisIn an ongoing research and intervention project we are studying how an increased awareness of gender issues in science and in science teaching among student teachers influences their identities as teachers, and their teaching of science. We have followed a cohort of approximately 120 pre-service teachers (early years to lower secondary) from two universities in Sweden, through their first year of science courses. As an integral part of these science courses our intervention has introduced critical perspectives on gender and science as related to the culture of science and a feminist critique of the sciences. The project as a whole is framed theoretically by Hirdman's (1990) and Harding's (1986) theories of gender order in society, where gender is constituted on different levels: the structural, the symbolic and the individual (Harding 1986; Hirdman 1990; Rubin 1975). Hirdman (1990) describes this pattern from two perspectives: first, the separation of the two sexes and second, the superior status of the male standard. The formation of gender consolidates differences between the sexes and the female gender is always subordinate the male one, independent of status, class, time, and space.

Elaboration and negotiation of new content : The use of meaning making resources in multilingual science classrooms
- 2017
-
Ingår i: NFSUN Nordic Research Symposium on Science Education 2017. ; , s. 17-20
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This presentation reports results from a study aiming at examining multilingual students’ meaning-making in science when instructed through Swedish. Focus is on how new content is elaborated and negotiated through various semiotic resources such as written and spoken language, still and moving images, gestures and physical artefacts. Data consist of video and audio recordings and digital photographs from two multilingual physics classrooms (students aged 11-12 and 14-15 respectively) and one biology classroom (students aged 14-15 years). Theoretically, the project takes its stance in social semiotics and pragmatist theory. Data are analysed through systemic functional linguistics, multimodal analyses and Dewey’s principle of continuity. The results show that the teachers and the students were engaged in meaning-making activities involving a variety of semiotic resources in ways that sometimes matched both students’ linguistic and scientific level. However, some observations indicate classroom practices that might constitute a hindrance for meaning-making. The study has implications for ways of promoting multilingual students’ meaning-making in science, including learning science, competent action, that is, norms about how to act in the science classroom, and communicating through different modes.

-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present results from a study aiming at investigating multimodal classroom interaction and its contribution to multilingual students’ meaning-making in science. The focus is on how science content is elaborated and negotiated through various semiotic resources. Data consist of video and audio recordings and digital photographs from three multilingual classes: a middle school physics classroom during the unit “measuring time”, a lower secondary physics classroom during the units “sound and light” and a lower secondary biology classroom during the unit “human body”. The project takes its stance in social semiotics and pragmatist theory. Data are analysed through systemic functional linguistics, multimodal analyses and Dewey’s principle of continuity. The results reveal that teachers and students were engaged in meaning-making activities involving a variety of semiotic resources with a potential to develop multilingual students’ scientific literacy. However, the teachers’ scientific starting points and perspectives on scientific literacy as well as their use of semiotic resources to some extent vary, affording different entries to science meaning-making. The study has implications for ways of promoting scientific literacy, including learning science, competent action, and communicating through different modes.

- Lärare i skolans olika ämnen har ett gemensamt ansvar för att ge eleverna möjligheter att utveckla sitt skrivande för olika syften och i olika sammanhang. Men hur det ska gå till är inte givet. I den här artikeln presenteras en modell för detta arbete, nämligen skrivhjulet. Modellen bygger på att skrivande innebär att vi utför skrivhandlingar, att skrivande alltid har ett eller flera syften, och att skrivande medieras i skriftspråk och andra modaliteter.

Textskapande i grundskolan : utveckla funktionella skrivpraktiker
- 2020
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att utveckla elevers förmåga att skapa texter är ett område som av tradition kopplas till svenskämnet. Samtidigt vet vi att elever skapar olika former av text i de flesta av skolans ämnen. Forskning har också visat att elever utvecklar såväl förmågan att skapa funktionella texter som ämneskunskaper genom att få arbeta med text i skolans olika ämnen på ett meningsfullt sätt.Textskapande i grundskolan beskriver ett perspektiv på textskapande som har fokus på texters funktion. I boken visar författarna hur textundervisningen kan organiseras i klassrummet och hur läraren kan stötta eleverna i arbetsprocessen. Med hjälp av tankar och modeller som utgår från forskning och beprövad erfarenhet presenterar de förhållningssätt som låter lärare skapa en funktionell skrivundervisning tillsammans med sina elever. En sådan undervisning är inriktad på elevernas möjlighet att kommunicera erfarenheter i de texter som de skapar och därmed utveckla sin identitet som kunnig.Boken riktar sig till såväl studenter inom lärarutbildningen som till lärare i grundskolans olika årskurser och ämnen.

Validity considerations in the study of language learning aptitude
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Language learning aptitude is a hypothesized psychological construct that has been used to explain differences in how fast and how well people can acquire a second language (L2). It is generally assumed that language learning aptitude is a multidimensional phenomenon, meaning that it consists of sub-constructs that are not necessarily interrelated. Research on language aptitude and its relationship with language learning outcomes has been undertaken for at least 70 years but much still remains unknown about the nature of this construct. Key to understanding the effects of a hypothesized latent trait like language aptitude is to ensure that it can be meaningfully quantified, and also that whatever real world observations that the trait is supposed to be linked to (in this case, L2 acquisition) can be measured with sufficient accuracy. The present thesis set out to explore issues in the measurement of both language learning aptitude and its predicted outcome (L2 acquisition), specifically applied to a context in which the L2 is Swedish. The validity of an increasingly popular test of language aptitude, the LLAMA, was examined in detail and a test of Swedish receptive vocabulary for L2 learners (the SweLT) was developed with the aim of efficiently serving various research purposes, including the study of language aptitude effects. In addition, theoretical and methodological issues in the assessment of individual differences in second language acquisition were outlined. The results from the empirical studies suggest that the LLAMA suffers from imprecision but that it may still be useful in research if due care is given to the interpretation of the obtained test scores. For quick assessment of general proficiency in Swedish, the SweLT seems to be a promising candidate but further refinement of this test is called for. Finally, some possible implications of aptitude research are discussed, including future use of aptitude tests as practical tools for individual adaptation of educational programs for adult L2 learners of Swedish. The findings of this thesis make it clear that the LLAMA would not be suitable for this purpose.

Resolving puzzling phenomena by the simple particle model: examining thematic patterns of multimodal learning and teaching
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Learning: Research and Practice. - : Informa UK Limited. - 2373-5082 .- 2373-5090. ; 6:1, s. 70-87
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines the roles of multimodality and thematic patterns in the teaching of the particle model of matter. Although the particle model is a fundamental topic in science education, there is no consensus on (1) whether or not the model should be introduced in early grades and (2) how to introduce the model to students for the very first time. Drawing from teacher development projects in Sweden (Grade 3) and in Hong Kong (Grade 7), we suggest that the learning and teaching of the particle model can be facilitated by utilising a variety of modes. With multimodal scaffolding, Grade 3 students were able to demonstrate aspects of the particle model related to the expansion of gases in a warmer environment. The paper illustrates teaching episodes from the two projects in terms of (i) aspects of the particle model that were constructed using different semiotic modes, (ii) shifts in the salience of different modes in the teaching and learning process, and (iii) a thematic pattern that the classroom interactions adopted to explain puzzling phenomena. For a theoretical advancement, we suggest that thematic analysis should be extended to multimodal interactions.

Analysing interaction in science classrooms – a comparative study of two discourse analysis frameworks

-
Ingår i: Educare. - : Malmo University Library. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; 2023:1, s. 1-32
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- One central issue for research in classrooms is to provide insights concerning characteristics of classroom interaction that can help teachers improve their teaching. In the present study, we analyse spoken interaction in one elementary physics classroom by the use of two different frameworks, targeting similar aspects of social communication, namely how discourse patterns shape the relations between participants. The two frameworks utilized are on the one hand analyses of the communicative approach according to Mortimer and Scott, combined with analyses of discourse patterns such as IRE-patterns, and on the other hand analyses related to the interpersonal meta-function in Halliday’s systemic-functional grammar, SFG. The aim was to highlight possibilities and limitations of the different frameworks. Our analyses reveal that the two analytical frameworks have partly the same, partly different affordances concerning what they can reveal about classroom interaction. The analyses of the communicative approaches have the potential of elucidating discursive patterns and power relations at a general level, while the analyses based on SFG can provide more details about the power relations in terms of how the participants actually structure their utterances. The results are also discussed regarding implications for education.

Beginners Read Aloud : High versus Low Linguistic Levels in Swedish Beginners' Oral Reading
- 2003
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aims of this thesis were to examine the utilisation of various linguistic levels in the oral reading of running texts among Swedish beginning readers, and specifically to question the supposedly predominant role of lower (i.e. sub-lexical) linguistic levels by also examining possible evidence of the utilisation of information at the syntactic or semantic levels, as well as textual context. The investigation is based on a corpus constructed from the oral reading of running texts and includes a number of studies using both quantitative and qualitative error analyses.The analyses confirm that other linguistic levels than the sub-lexical have an impact on reading. This was shown both in the linguistic acceptability of errors and the extent to which errors were corrected depending on linguistic acceptability. Although the natural point of departure seemed to be the graphemic level, analyses revealed that graphemic complexity or word transparency alone could not explain error frequencies. In quite a few cases, qualitative analyses revealed, for instance, that higher linguistic levels or knowledge of the world could explain both why words did and did not result in reading errors. However, phonological quantity appeared to be a major difficulty throughout the study, which is clearly related to the graphemic or phonological level.Some differences regarding the developmental perspective were observed. One study indicated that the readers might develop stepwise regarding their utilisation of various linguistic levels, in the sense that they appeared to rely mainly on lower linguistic levels early in reading development. Later they seemed to be dependent on higher linguistic levels, and ultimately they seemed to be sensitive to, rather than dependent on, higher linguistic levels.An interesting result was that the readers seemed to use different strategies for different kinds of words throughout the investigation, using a direct decoding strategy for frequent words, but using a letter-by-letter decoding strategy for less frequent or graphemically complex words.

Designs for learning and changing texts - demands for future of education : Pupils' positioning during joint multimodal text creation
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Designing Futures. - London.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In a project with an overall aim to explore ‘what’s happening’ and ‘what’s possible’ in terms of how pupils made meaning about different subject content and what signified their interaction with each other and with the tools provided, we let young pupils create multimodal texts in small groups in different subject areas. In one sub-study, we analysed how the pupils positioned themselves and each other (e.g., by taking leadership over one’s peers, or by refusing to take part in the activity) through their multimodal interaction when jointly creating fairy tales by use of different tools, such as papers, pencils and crayons, or a digital application for making animations. In the study, we followed the process when pupils in a grade 2 classroom during three different small-group activities i) created handwritten fairy tales, ii) drew images, and then, iii) transformed them into animated multimodal texts by using a digital application. Data was generated through video-recordings, pupils’ multimodal texts (writing and drawings), teaching materials, and lesson plans. The study is theoretically grounded in the designs for learning (DFL) perspective and the Learning Design Sequence Model was used as an analytical tool (see for example Björklund Boistrup & Selander 2022, Kress & Selander 2012, Selander 2008). One aspect of the model concerns how students are positioned and how they position themselves during the teaching and learning activities. The teacher’s design for learning - including her planned activities and the resources made available for the pupils - appeared to have a great impact on what happened and what became possible for the pupils in their design in learning and what competencies the pupils could (and chose) to draw upon in the different activities. An important result was that the pupils positioned themselves and each other in quite different ways during small-group activities, e.g., if someone took a leading position while others acted as followers, or if their positions were more equal. The ways that these positions differed between activities could partly be explained by the different affordances of the resources provided, as well as the teacher’s design.

Gains and losses : Pictorial language in chemistry classrooms
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Proceedings from the ISEC conference, 2014, National Institute of Education, Singapore. - Singapore.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper reports on findings from two data sets in chemistry learning; one from a multidisciplinary project on teacher lead whole-class teaching, and one from a small-scale study on teacher students’ animations of chemical reactions. The data was analysed as to the use of pictorial language in relation to atoms and ion formation with an intention to shed light on students’ scientific understanding as well as their enculturation into the disciplinary discourse (e.g. Halliday & Martin, 1993; Lemke, 1998; Rogoff, 1990). Theoretically we draw on social semiotics (e.g. Halliday, 1978; Kress, 2003) allowing analyses of language use in its widest sense, comprising verbal language, images, action, gestures, etc. (e.g. Kress et al., 2001; Lemke, 1998), though here with a main focus on verbal language. In both learning contexts, we identified common disciplinary metaphors as well as more occasional metaphors. By the use of SFG-analyses (Halliday and Matthiessen, 2004) we also noted more “hidden” metaphoric use, with particles, atoms, and ions being humanised with intentions and feelings. Also, we identified interesting patterns as to the ways students use metaphors to sort out difficulties in understanding chemical processes. The study has implications for the design of classroom practices, not the least as regards possibilities to use meta-discussions to enhance a more reflective use and understanding of the gains and losses around analogies; both as regards teaching material and student-generated analogies (see Haglund, 2013).

- This chapter reports on findings from classroom communication insecondary chemistry teaching and learning. The data was analyzed qualitativelyregarding the use of metaphors and analogies in relation to atoms andion formation, with an intention to shed light on students’ scientific understandingas well as on their enculturation into the disciplinary discourse. Theoretically we draw on social semiotics, which allows analyses of languageuse in its widest sense, comprised of verbal language, images, action, gestures, and more. In our data, we identified common disciplinary metaphors inscience, as well as metaphors connected to everyday life. Through the analyses based on systemic functional linguistics (SFL), we also identified anthropomorphic metaphors, with particles, atoms, and ions being humanized with intentions and feelings. Linguistic choices signaling metaphoric language were mainly noted in relation to quite obvious metaphors whereas no such signalsor explanations were noted in connection to anthropomorphic metaphors. The study has implications for the design of classroom practices, including the use of discussions to enhance a more reflective use and understanding of the gains and losses around metaphors.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Vi presenterar en nystartad studie rörande elevers skriftspråkspraktik, vilken ingår i projektet Kemitexter som redskap för naturvetenskapligt lärande. Enkomparativ studie av undervisningspraktiker i svenska och finlandssvenska klassrum. Vi redovisar tidigare forskning inom fältet, såväl nationellt som internationellt. Utifrån vår teoretiska anknytning, till dels inriktningen New Literacy Studies, dels den SFL‐baserade genrepedagogiken söker vi svar på följande frågor: I vad mån och i vilka situationer används text i undervisningen? Vilka attityder till textanvändning har man? Vilka texter aktualiseras och hur kan dessa texter beskrivas? Hur använder och förhåller sig lärare/ elever till läroboken och/eller andra texter? Hur arbetar läraren med elevernas insocialisering i naturvetenskaplig genre och hur svarar eleverna på detta? I vilken mån förekommer klassrumsaktiviteter med outnyttjad potential för arbete med insocialisering i den naturvetenskapliga genren? Vidare redogörs för materialinsamling och det planerade materialets art och omfång. Men störst utrymme ges analysmetodiska frågor, och särskilt analyser av lärobokstexter ägnas uppmärksamhet. Utifrån tidigare prövade infallsvinklar urskiljer vi två perspektiv. Det ena gäller texternas utformning med avseende på begriplighet, det andra vilka läs‐ och lärmål texterna kan tänkas styra mot. Resultaten vill vi ställa i relation till klassrumsaktiviteter, elevernas läs‐ och skrivstrategier samt lärarnas och elevernas förhållningssätt till läroböcker och andra texter.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Elever på alla skolans stadier och studenter i högre utbildning rör sig mellan olika ämnen med olika innehållsligt fokus. Denna rörelse blir också en förflyttning mellan olika språkliga världar: ämnenas olika praktiker innebär att vi ”vill” olika saker med språket i dessa olika ämnesvärldar. I kapitlet presenterar vi begreppet ämneslitteracitet närmare. Vi gör det utifrån en vidgad syn på språk, där vi utöver verbalt språk (tal och skrift) inkluderar sådant som hur bilder och andra resurser används på ämnesspecifika sätt. Teoretiskt bygger kapitlet på socialsemiotik, vilket är en funktionell syn på språk och språkande som här också innefattar ett multimodalt perspektiv på språk och interaktion (Halliday, 1978; Kress, 2010). Vi presenterar också ett par didaktiska modeller som lärare kan använda för att dels själva få syn på ämnets språk, dels arbeta på sätt som ger elever möjlighet att utveckla ämneslitteracitet parallellt med sitt ämneskunnande.

Learning Chemistry : Text Use and Text Talk in a Finland-Swedish Chemistry Classroom
- 2010
-
Ingår i: IARTEM e-journal. - 1837-2104. ; 3:2, s. 1-28
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article draws on the notion that the process of gradually becoming part of new social contexts always involves a gradual enculturation into the discourse of the field, and also that the responsibility of the educational systems is to give students opportunities to develop their literacy competence in various subject areas. The article also argues for an explicit text focus in science classrooms, due to the complexity of texts used in the area, especially regarding multimodality. For the purpose of discussing these issues, an analysis of literacy events in a chemistry classroom has been done. The starting point was to investigate what semiotic resources connected to a multimodal concept of texts were used, and how, with a special interest in meta-textual classroom discussions. The results of the analysis reveal that the students come across a number of different texts in the chemistry classroom, but that longer running texts neither are read nor written in the classroom and that almost no meta-textual discussions take place. Pedagogical implications of the results are discussed.

Lärares rörlighet i text och praktik : En studie av kollegialt lärande

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Skolverkets omfattande fortbildningssatsning Läslyftet, bygger på lärares kollegiala lärande. Sedan starten, 2014-2015, har ett mycket stort antal lärare involverats i denna satsning. I dagsläget finns inga systematiskt genomförda studier om lärares klassrumsarbete med Läslyftet. Med den här fallstudien vill vi bidra med kunskap om hur en lärare omsätter Läslyftet i den egna praktiken. Fallstudien har genomförts inom ramen för ett lärarlags arbete modulen Skriva i alla ämnen, åk 4–6 (2015), som har utarbetats under ledning av Institutionen för svenska språket vid Linnéuniversitetet.Syftet med studien är tudelat. För det första att undersöka vad som kännetecknar den kollegiala interaktionen under arbete med det inspirationsmaterial som presenteras i modulen. För det andra att undersöka vad i inspirationsmaterialet en av lärarna tar fasta på och hur det omsätts i klassrumspraktiken i den efterföljande undervisningsaktiviteten.De överordnade teoretiska ramverken är dialogistiska och socialsemiotiska perspektiv (Bakhtin 1986, Halliday 1978, Kress 2010) och diskursanalys (Gee 2015). Analyserna i studien bygger på en vidareutveckling av textrörlighetsbegreppet hos Langer (1995) och Liberg m.fl. (2002).Data består av videofilmade gruppdiskussioner i lärargruppen och en videofilmad lektion då en av lärarna genomförde undervisningsaktiviteten, samt de tavelanteckningar och elevtexter som skapades under lektionen. Data genererades genom att vi följde en grupp lärare som arbetade med modulen för att analysera vad som händer under den här typen av kollegialt lärande, både i lärargruppens diskussioner och under den lektion som planerades och genomfördes av en av lärarna i samband med modularbetet.Resultaten visar att lärarna delvis rörde sig transaktivt i relation till inspirationsmaterialet och då relaterade till sin undervisning, men att de i relativt hög utsträckning också rörde sig associativt, bort från texten. Ett viktigt resultat var hur några deltagare förde tillbaka samtalet till en textnära och transaktiv textrörlighet efter sekvenser av associativ textrörlighet och att handledaren genom sina frågor styrde samtalet i riktning mot olika textrörlighetstyper. I undervisningsaktiviteten ledde läraren eleverna främst mot en textbaserad textrörlighet med fokus på form, vilket kan tolkas som att att läraren främst inspirerats av inspirationsmaterialets resonemang om multimodalitet, något som ledde till att denna lärare prövade nya arbetssätt, där film och bild fungerade som utgångspunkt för elevernas eget textskapande.

Modes and meaning in the classroom – The role of different semiotic resources to convey meaning in science classrooms
- 2016

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study is framed within social semiotic perspectives on multimodality, and it has a twofold aim. The primary aim is to analyze the ways in which teachers draw on different semiotic resources when introducing a new scientific concept in secondary school science classrooms, and to link the results to modal affordance. A secondary aim is to try out parallel analyses of different modes in multimodal meaning making using the ideational meta-function of the SFL framework. Analyses are based on instructional episodes when chemistry teachers introduced the atom as a scientific phenomenon. The main focus of the analyses is on processes used in different modes and how these depict the atom as either static or dynamic. The framework proved fruitful, and analyses revealed important patterns as to what aspects of the atom were given through what mode(s), something which could partly be linked to modal affordance. The results are discussed in relation to its implications for research and education.

Multimodal texts in disciplinary education : A comprehensive framework
- 2021
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This open access book provides an introduction to multimodality and the role of multimodal texts in today’s education. Presenting a comprehensive framework for analysing and working with multimodal texts in disciplinary education, it serves as a tool for researchers and teachers alike. The second part of the book focuses on sample analyses of a variety of educational texts for different age groups and from different disciplines, including games and online resources. The authors also comment on the specific challenges of each text, and how teachers can discuss such texts with their students to enhance both their understanding of the content and their multimodal literacy. The book is intended for researchers in fields like education and multimodal studies, and for teacher educators, regardless of school subject or age group. With the combined perspectives on text analysis and implications for education, the book addresses the needs of teachers who want to work with multimodal aspects of texts in education in informed ways, but lack the right tools for such work.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Under de senaste årtiondena har vi i forskning och skola sett en allt större insikt om att varje ämnesområde har sitt specifika sätt att språkligt uttrycka innehållet. Den insikten gäller inte minst lärare som arbetar med elever som lär sig på ett annat språk än sitt modersmål. Vad som varit mindre uppmärksammat är hur centralt också multimodalitet är i meningsskapandet, det vill säga att vi använder en mängd olika resurser i samspel i all kommunikation –inte ”bara” ord, utan också bilder, gester, symbolspråk och liknande. Därför är det viktigt för alla lärare att ha kunskap om multimodalitet, inte minst för dem som undervisar elever som lär sig på ett annat språk än sitt modersmål, både för att medvetet kunna utnyttja de möjligheter som ligger i ett multimodalt perspektiv på meningsskapande, och för att öka sin medvetenhet om vilka särskilda utmaningar det kan innebära.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I allt textskapande görs ett antal val som gäller hur texten ska formuleras och vilka resurser som då ska användas, som bilder, tabeller, skrift och så vidare. De här valen hänger ihop med textens funktion, tänkta läsare och ämnesområde. I det här kapitlet diskuteras detta i relation till begreppet multimodalitet, som bland annat handlar om hur olika (text)resurser samverkar för att skapa en helhet. Efter en introduktion av begreppet multimodalitet diskuteras elevers textmöten och textskapande och hur man som lärare kan tänka kring textarbete i klassrummet utifrån ett multimodalt perspektiv.

- Kapitlet bygger på ett samarbete mellan en lärare och en forskare som gemensamt planerat och analyserat skrivundervisning som läraren genomfört i en språkligt heterogen klass i årskurs ett. Genom kapitlet vill vi ge ett exempel på hur en inkluderande undervisning kan se ut, där unga elever arbetar med att skapa multimodala texter bestående av ord och bild. Kapitlet utgår ifrån en funktionell syn på textskapande. Textarbetet genomfördes under temat "vatten". Analyserna av undervisningen bygger på modellen lärdesignsekvenser som utvecklats inom det teoretiska perspektivet design för lärande.

Pupils creating digital animations in the early years of schooling

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The use of computers and other digital tools such as tablets, smartboards and game consoles is rapidly becoming a reality in early-childhood educational settings and the early years of schooling. Thus, an important question is what potential digital tools and digital resources has - when integrated in educational practices - to increase pupils’ meaning making. Therefore, the aim of this project is to explore ‘what’s happening’ and ‘what’s possible’ when pupils (6–8 years) are part of teaching and learning practices involving digital tools, in this case when jointly creating multimodal digital animations to communicate ideas and tell stories in the subjects Mathematics, Science, and Swedish.The theoretical base is Designs for Learning (DfL) (Björklund Boistrup & Selander 2022), where teaching and learning are seen as a form of multimodal design. According to that perspective, the teacher designs learning activities, giving the pupils access to different resources to enable meaning making, while the pupils’ meaning making process is seen as a kind of re-design, based on, e.g., available resources, interests and previous experiences. In our analysis, we utilize the Learning Design Sequence (LDS) model, developed within DfL. To enable fine-tuned detailed analysis of pupils’ multimodal interaction, classroom activities with pupils working in pairs were video-recorded. Moreover, the pupils’ multimodal texts (writing, drawings, digital animations, etc.) were collected. The analysis revealed, e.g., that the different material resources provided in the teachers’ design for learning (e.g., paper, pencils, crayons, or digital tools) to a great extent steered what happened and became possible for the pupils in terms of negotiating, contributing, making suggestions, and making conscious choices of signs to use in their multimodal texts (both paper-based and digital).

- The re-conceptualisation of texts over the last 20 years, as well as the development of a multimodal understanding of communication and representation of knowledge, has profound consequences for the reading and understanding of multimodal texts, not least in educational contexts. However, if teachers and students are given tools to “unwrap” multimodal texts, they can develop a deeper understanding of texts, information structures, and the textual organisation of knowledge. This article presents a model for working with multimodal texts in education with the intention to highlight mutual multimodal text analysis in relation to the subject content. Examples are taken from a Singaporean science textbook as well as a Chilean science textbook, in order to demonstrate that the framework is versatile and applicable across different cultural contexts.The model takes into account the following aspects of texts: the general structure, how different semiotic resources operate, the ways in which different resources are combined (including coherence), the use of figurative language, and explicit/implicit values. Since learning operates on different dimensions – such as social and affective dimensions besides the cognitive ones – our inclusion of figurative language and values as components for textual analysis is a contribution to multimodal text analysis for learning.

- This study reports on a case study about multimodal work in a primary physics classroom focusing on forces. Previous research reports that students benefit from multimodal work in science classrooms. Yet, few systematic studieshave been performed to reveal how students represent their experiences and ideas of science phenomena over time within and across different semiotic modes (e.g., through action, speech, writing, and image, including multimodal ensembles). The design of the lessons was built around a number of experimental activities, starting with a puzzling phenomenon and where students for each experiment predicted, observed, described, and tried to come up with explanations. Based on social‐semiotics, we combined analysis at an overall level (long timescale and large grain size) and a detailed level (short timescale and small grain size) to shed light on how the science content was represented within and between modes over the teaching and learning period, and what content was expressed in these representations. Our findings reveal how students moved from focusing on attributes such as a “heavy” regarding artifacts used in the experiments, towards the central physics processes, such as one object exerting force on another object. Furthermore, we were able to detect that such “signs of learning” were shown in students’ small‐group discussions and multimodal texts following a carefully orchestrated multimodal exposition by the teacher. Hence, such a careful multimodal orchestration appeared to be critical for the students’meaning‐making about the science content.

Signs of Learning : Multiple Modes as Support for Interaction in a Linguistically Diverse Physics Classroom
- 2022

Ingår i: Education Sciences. - : MDPI AG. - 2227-7102. ; 12:10, s. 1-23

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Students’ and teachers’ meaning making in science classrooms is dependent on language in a broad, multimodal, sense, comprising specialized lexicogrammar and ways of using semiotic resources such as models, diagrams, and subject specific symbols. Altogether, the multimodal demands of science can be challenging, in particular for students learning the language of instruction in parallel with the subject content. Yet, multimodal perspectives are scarce in research concerning science learning in linguistically diverse classrooms, where several students are educated in their second language. Drawing on designs for learning theory, the interaction in a linguistically diverse physics classroom was analyzed through the Learning Design Sequence model to investigate the teacher’s design for learning for students’ meaning-making about ‘sound’. Thereto, students’ ‘signs of learning’ regarding subject content and how to communicate content in line with the discourse of science was analyzed. The teacher’s design for learning gave the students opportunities to interact about content by use of different semiotic modes, with gradually higher demands regarding both content and how to express the content which appeared to support students’ development of content knowledge and competency to express this knowledge in line with the discourse of science. However, some of the teacher’s choices appeared to be a hindrance for the students.
