Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores low performing upper secondary school students’ mathematical reasoning when solving non-routine tasks in pairs. Their solutions were analysed using a theoretical framework about mathematical reasoning and a model to study beliefs as arguments for choices. The results confirm previous research and three themes of beliefs are used by the student. These themes are safety, expectations, and motivation. The results also show a connection between beliefs and imitative reasoning as a way to solve non-routine tasks.

- European higher education has been highly influenced by theBologna-process, entailing coordination and standardisation frompolicy to teaching practices. This led to increased demands onuniversity teachers. Courses in university pedagogy are requiredas part of competence development and have become decisivefor employment. Constructive Alignment has become a popularmodel, being in line with Bologna-process ideals. Emerging is aninstrumental view of higher education that risks excavatinguniversity pedagogy of its pedagogical dimensions and reducingthe autonomy of the university teachers with focus onstandardisation and emphasis on effective output.This paper proposes a Didaktik-approach to university pedagogy.We argue that Didaktik can help revive relational and emancipatoryelements of higher education. By viewing the relationship betweenteachers and students as a gathering around common interests, wemaintain that Didaktik emphasises teachers’ reflections regardingthe subject, the students, and other educational dimensions.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det finns didaktiska utmaningar och möjligheter relaterade till ett tvärdisciplinärtämnesområde som det miljövetenskapliga. En central fråga är hur miljövetenskapligutbildning kan utformas för att ge studenterna förutsättningaratt handskas med komplexa, idag möjligen okända, miljöfrågor i en kommandeyrkesverksamhet. I en svensk definition av didaktik är frågeorden Vad, Huroch Varför är centrala, vad bör en miljövetenskaplig utbildning innehålla,hur ska undervisningen genomföras och varför organiseras den som den gör?Det miljövetenskapliga ämnets framväxt har skapat läraktiviteter såsom: case,rollspel, debatt, och projekt. Alla har olika syfte vad gäller bearbetning av innehålloch färdighetsträning. Verklighetsanknuten undervisning är ett viktigt målinom det miljövetenskapliga utbildningsområdet och genom en genomtänktdesign kan studenterna få stöd för lärande inför de arbetsuppgifter de kommeratt möta i teori och i praktik.

Vår stad 2030 och efterföljande rådslag : om kapacitet för utbildning och delaktighet
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report is the result of an external assessment based on qualitative interviews with 5 city planners, 9 teachers and 22 pupils participating in the project in 2015 and 2016.The empirical evidence indicate an appreciated project where city planners highlight the ability to reach out to young city dwellers, usually a difficult group to engage in city planning; teachers that stress the projects concrete but at the same time flexible design as a valuable resource in their present and future work; least but not last the pupils talk about the project as something that was real which in turn spurred their commitment to reach for quality in their work. At the end of the project these pupils expressed increased knowledge and engagement in sustainable development. Especially the social dimensions and the local perspective were seen as fresh and inspiring. At the same time teachers highlighted the solid frame of the project giving them more time to cooperate with each other and attend to supervise the pupils along the way.The assessment also finds that the different time-scales that guide the practices of city planners’, teachers’ and pupils’ pose a challenge for cooperation between the groups, as they work together for the first time. Here teachers has to become brokers between the longer time-horizons of the city planners and the much shorter time-horizon providing meaning to the pupils. Another obstacle is the institutional structures of the education system. Firstly it concerns the information infrastructure. The interviews show that the invitation reached teachers via informal channels and thus only reached teachers that was already known to be engaged in education for sustainable development. Secondly, and especially at the Gymnasium level, the organisation around courses prevented interdisciplinary approaches to education for sustainable development.Looking ahead the assessment finds a consensus among the participants that it has been a valuable experience. That all participating city planners and teachers seek for ways to repeat the project in one way or the other might be the best evidence for the projects quality. The results presented in this report are shortly framed and discussed in relation with some scientific studies concerned with learning, relevance and function of education and connections between education and societal development. The discussions points out the importance of social inclusion, personal fulfilment and education for all as capacities for urban planning and transformative approaches in societal and educational development.As the project moves on to new cities the assessment points to a few possible options for development. It could be valuable to develop strategies for reaching a broader range of teachers, ways to improve administrative support within the institutional structures of the participating schools. Thirdly, one way to strengthen the connection between the pupils increased interest and broader socio-political discussion could be to invite political and non-governmental organisations to participate either at the Rådslag* or in the preparations for it. This might be valuable since the engagement in sustainability issues has mainly been channelled into action at the individual level, mainly to consumption. Many participants have also asked for support for upcoming versions of Vår stad 2030. Developing support for the difficult step that would take Vår stad 2030 from an event to a part of the ordinary practices could perhaps be a valuable step to take in further development.

Teacher autonomy and responsibility variation and association with student performance in Didaktik and curriculum traditions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The primary objective of the study was to empirically test theoretical claims made about differences between Didaktik and curriculum traditions concerning teacher autonomy (TA) and teacher responsibility (TR). It tests the hypothesis that TA and TR are higher among Didaktik than curriculum countries. The second objective was to explore associations of TA and responsibility measures with students’ science performance? Nationally representative data from 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), collected through a two-step random selection process were used. For TA individual items Mann–Whitney rank-sum test was employed, while a difference of proportion test was used for TR items to examine the differences. Hierarchical linear modelling (HLM) was used to examine association of TA and TR items with students’ science performance in PISA 2009. Overall and contrary to the initial hypothesis, teachers in curriculum countries enjoy both more autonomy and responsibility than teachers in Didaktik countries, but differences were substantively weak. Furthermore, within-country associations of autonomy and responsibility measures with students’ science performance were found in a few countries. Further research is recommended to address TA and responsibility and complexities that accompany them in current stakeholder-crowded school contexts.

Didactic modelling for socio-ecojustice
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In northern Europe and Scandinavia, there is a tradition called Didaktik. It can be seen as both the art of teaching and as the “science for teachers”, helping us teachers answering didactic questions about WHY?, WHAT? and HOW? to teach (and support learning). Many areas of subject-specific Didaktik have in recent decades evolved from mainly practice-based methodology to quite independent research areas. This applies, for example, to the field of science-Didaktik (i.e., Science Education). Part of this field has a special interest in educational activities for socio-ecojustice. For instance, it can include complex issues used in teaching to build bridges across different curriculum subjects, among them STEM-subjects, in support of sustainability, reflexive Bildung and socio-political activism. The focus in this paper is on so-called didactic models and modelling aiming at actions for socio-ecojustice. In particular, the paper presents a model for eco-reflexive Didaktik, an example of a didactic model. Didactic modelling is the name for the processes when didactic models are used and developed, often by researchers in collaboration with practitioners. The didactic model in focus here is based on philosophical ideas and orientations, such as holism, critical realism, egalitarianism, altruism, reconstructionism and critical pedagogy.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reports on a participatory design project conducted with K-12 schools in the US and Sweden to create an international collaboration on Marine Biology using video production as a tool for learning and representation. The aim of the project was to explore teachers' challenges and strategies due to digitalization and new curricular demands through a lens of sociocultural perspectives. Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) was used to understand and support participating teachers' development as well as the design process. Using the CHAT model as a design tool enabled teachers to grasp a complex learning environment and frame contradictions and tensions in the activity. Challenges in terms of curricular demands and media literacy could be identified and addressed as part of interacting activity systems, and the process enabled expansion of knowledge and ideas for both design and future work practice.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing on the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the article highlights various conceptions of violence at a Swedish boarding school and is based on a critical discourse analysis of different educational and media documents. The investigation indicates that ambitions to protect childrenfrom violence need to overcome the dichotomy of private and public in order to protect children affected by violence in the borderland between the private and public spheres.

- Metrics Reprints & Permissions PDFAbstractThe European Convention on Human Rights has been signed by both the UK and Sweden as well as other European states, providing legal justification for accommodating the educational needs of religious minorities. This legal entitlement is explored in the paper, with particular reference to parental choice for schools based on an Islamic ethos. How the UK and Sweden have responded to accommodate the religious convictions of Muslim families is the focus of discussion, drawing on historical and policy backgrounds. The paper also draws on the theoretical work of Kumashiro and the concept of ‘Education for the Other’, examining the positioning of minority groups within the broad context of a multicultural society and the challenge of accommodating religious convictions in a climate of increasing support for cultural assimilation.
