- The purpose of this study is to contribute to the knowledge about the importance of listening in modern sound technology and the importance of tradition in reception analysis of literary conversations. The object of inquiry is The poetics of the talking book, a dissertation about how different groups of listeners understand the reception of audio books in literary conversations. The problem explored is: What is the significance of listening in this dissertation? This text analysis has two points of departure. The first point of departure concerns the language used in the dissertation. Results from the study show that the language used is mainly influenced by literary reception and reader response theory, and is therefore misleading to the reader when it comes to listening reception of the talking book. The second point of departure concerns the analytical conceptions used in the dissertation. Results from the study show that the conceptions used comes solely from literary reception and reader response theory, which means that the authors twelve references from listening reception and listening theory are never used in the analysis. The conclusion is that the dissertation seems to be a contradictory representation of a modern expression of audio books, listening research and sound technology and, at the same time, a traditional expression of the western tradition, dominating discourse and literature reception.

- Documentation is a wide spread activity in all parts of society. During the last two decades the demand for teachers to write different documents has increased and concerns all students, not only those in need of special support. Documentation is never neutral; it is a way of creating reality or, a part of what Foucault calls the “production of truth”. Society is drawn in to what can be described as documentality. The aim of this article is to contribute to the understanding of the role of documentation practices in contemporary Swedish schools and the repercussions on the learning processes and the understanding of the nature of knowledge.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article presents results of a study made in the context of introducing bilingual instruction in Swedish and Arabic. Classroom interaction was videotaped in grades one to four at two urban schools. Based on the video material, an inventory was made of how Arabic was used by the bilingual teachers, and how it related to the corresponding Swedish content. Simplified language use, code-switching and relations between use of Arabic and Swedish were analysed with respect to potential impact on learning affordances. Results indicate that, despite the introduction of bilingual instruction, Swedish still appeared as the dominant school language. Subject matter was frequently introduced in Swedish and then translated into Arabic. Considering that the schoolchildren were bilingual, many of the translations became repetitive rather than explanatory. Arabic syntax in teacher presentations was simplified. Frequent code-switching within utterances further contributed to simplifying both syntax and content. In other instances, however, open questions and relating written forms to their own expressions developed the pupils’ skills in Arabic. Involving the pupils’ personal experience increased engagement and motivation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Throughout the 20th century, the nature of intelligence has been a hot topic and an intensely debated issue. It is the measuring and testing of intelligence, in particular, that has aroused the strongest reactions from defenders and protesters alike. The discussion on intelligence tests have frequently revolved around questions such as whether these tests will lead to an increased social mobility and liberation or, on the contrary, to exclusion and discrimination of certain groups. The focus of the present article, however, is not the consequences of intelligence testing but rather the debate concerning the testing within the research community. This debate is approached from three different perspectives: a historical perspective, a psychological perspective, and a perspective allowed for by discourse analysis. Having done this, I discuss one other tentative way of dealing with intelligence testing that does not necessarily have to involve narratives of liberation or of oppression. This is done with the help of Michel Foucault’s concept ‘governmentality’.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper expressions that children themselves use to describe rela- tionships between phenomena in the world, is - when placing a mathe- matical gaze on them- viewed as everyday mathematical concepts. The aim of the paper is to illuminate children ́s use of everyday mathematics in their social interaction. More specifically, the aim is to show in detail how four- to five-year-olds use everyday mathematical concepts to de- scribe, argue and negotiate order of turn, in this case in their interaction around a computer at a Swedish preschool. The case study is based on five 4 to 5 year old children ́s activities involving a computer at a munici- pal preschool in Sweden. The children ́s interaction around the computer was video recorded and analyzed in detail from a participant-oriented perspective on interactional conduct. The analysis shows that the chil- dren use various expressions that can be interpreted as everyday mathematical concepts as communicative cultural tools in their social interaction. Furthermore, the results show that the children have actual use for these concepts in their argumentation for order of turn, and that the concepts they use seem to be most sufficient in their argumentation in this situated activity. A conclusion is that the everyday mathematical concepts used in the analyzed activity can form a foundation for develop- ing more formal mathematical concepts.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, the mathematics needed for citizenship is discussed in relation to the Swedish curriculum. The article considers two approaches for discussing mathematics as demanded by, or developed within, a society: mathematical literacy and ethnomathematics. These approaches provide an alternative un-derstanding for school mathematics in relation to citizenship. In reconsidering the expectations upon the future citizen produced from implementing the cur-riculum, an argument is made for the curriculum to include elements from critical and socially responsible mathematics education, which include ele-ments of ethnomathematics and mathematical literacy. Such reconsideration is necessary because the transfer of mathematics from school to the outside world is not a straightforward matter. Therefore, it is essential that more focus is directed at citizens in the curriculum, and the transitions they undertake during their trajectories in life, to and from school.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The mathematics performance of Swedish deaf and hard‐of‐hearing students was compared to that of hearing students to relate the situation in Sweden to recent international research results. Quantitative analysis of performance on the national subject test in mathematics and questionnaire on demographic variables for the deaf and hard‐of ‐hearing students were used. Analyses showed significant differences overall between deaf and hard‐ofhearing students and their hearing counterparts, but more importantly, gave insight into specific areas in which deaf and hard‐of‐hearing students may succeed or falter. In the study no significant differences in mathematics performance appeared between the deaf and hard‐of‐hearing students if sign language or spoken language was used as the language of instruction. No significant differences appeared depending on investigated background variables between the two groups, students mainly taught in sign language (class for the deaf) and students mainly taught in spoken language (class for the hard‐of‐ hearing). Demographic variables investigated were students’ gender, hearing status, additional functional disability, born is Sweden or not as well as parents’ hearing status, level of education, born is Sweden or not. The study serves as a basis for further investigations to develop deaf and hard‐of‐hearing students’ performance in mathematics.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article describes how the process of writing a fictional narrative, “My Story”, transforms and emerges over a period of five days in a Swedish early childhood classroom. Our purpose is to explore and describe how this method-driven writing project emerge in relation to material and discursive conditions, and to provide an empirically based understanding of the forces, flows and processes at work. This entails understanding processes of writing as an effect of complex relationships between the individual (the teacher and the student), the learning outcome, the affect, the talk, the motion, the body and the material. The results show how the writing project on some occasions come to a stop, sometimes take new directions or activate unforeseen affects and open for new becomings. The article also discusses how methods on the one hand has an explicit and formalized side, possible to articulate and predict. But on the other hand, is embedded in and driven by affects that changes both the method, the text production and the writing-learning subject. The article ends with a discussion of implications and possibilities understanding teaching methods of writing as dynamic processes that continually open for a variety of assemblages, flows and forces.

Good to Be Different? : On Cosmopolitanism, Pluralism and 'the Good Child' in Swedish Educational Policy

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Being a part of a larger project on subject positions of the child in policy documents and teaching materials, this article focuses on the role of undecidables in the fabrication of the so-called good child in the Swedish curriculum for the compulsory school. Within a framework of governmentality, the curriculum represents technologies of government, providing an undecidable terrain open for interpretation and decisions by subjects. Through the lens of education for sustainable development, I have selected five school subjects of particular interest for analysis: biology, civics, geography, home and consumer studies, and physical education and health. By focusing on the undecidable olika, meaning ‘different’, in the five syllabi, a pattern of features designating the good child emerges: (1) science-based categorization, (2) the lifelong learner, (3) the informed consumer, and (4) celebration of diversity. These four features represent a political rationale characterised by a contradictory amalgamation of cosmopolitanism and value pluralism. In combination with an increased emphasis on measurement and assessment in Swedish education, this reinforces abjection processes in school, separating ‘the good child’ and ’the child left behind’.
