Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, teacher educators had to change the delivery mode of their teaching to online environments. In this article, we explore the changes and challenges to teacher educators' professional practices during emergency remote teaching. Since teacher educators act as both teachers, peers and role models to their students, their professional practices involve the teaching of how to be a professional body, i.e. a 'teacher body'. Central to professional practices are interactions consisting of both speech and bodily actions. In interviews, teacher educators express how their professional practices of teaching has been changed and challenged in relation to how they communicate with their students and how they can support them in their learning. Due to the restrictions in body language and gaze in emergency remote teaching, teacher educators do not recognise their professional body. Moreover, because of the destabilisation of their 'teacher body', the teacher educators find it difficult to sufficiently convey to their students what it is to be a teacher.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores how newly arrived young students created meaning, communicated, and expressed themselves using digital technology in the subject of Swedish as a second language (SSL). The qualitative case study presented in this article focuses on how the orchestration of teaching contributed to opportunities for digital meaning-making in the SSL subject in four classrooms at three schools in a city in Sweden. The notion of language as being fluid, which involves a critical approach to languages as separable entities, considers linguistic and embodied meaning-making, including digital technology, in social processes. This approach recognizes the roles of technology and digital meaning-making in young students’ second language acquisition. Moreover, technological innovations facilitate immediate and accessible communication. In today’s language studies, ethnicity only is not considered an adequate focus of analysis. Furthermore, the meaning-making practices of newly arrived primary school-aged students remain under-investigated. In the present study, data collected in classroom observations and teacher interviews revealed three themes regarding the students’ utilization of digital technology to develop their multilingual skills. One insight was that the newly arrived students used digital technology strategically when they engaged in meaning-making activities with peers and teachers. When the students took the initiative in computer-assisted language learning, they displayed agency in meaning-making by being their own architects. The findings of this research provided insights into how the orchestration of teaching in Swedish as a second language to newly arrived students affects their opportunities to use multilingualism in meaning-making while employing digital technology.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examined upper secondary school students’ citations of self-selected online sources in their essays. Students (n = 140) conducted online inquiry about either effects of social media on people’s quality of life (SM) or allowance of genetic manipulation of organisms (GMO). Students, working either individually or in pairs, explored online sources with the help of a graphic organizer, after which they composed their essays. To capture the quality of citations identified in the essays, they were evaluated in terms of accuracy and richness of source features. Further, regression analysis was used to examine the effect of topic, grade level and work mode on the number and quality of citations. Results showed that students seldom cited sources in their essays, and when they did, citations were mostly accurate but less often rich in source features. When writing about SM, students most frequently cited media sources, while sources with ideological, political or religious motives were frequently cited in GMO essays. Students’ grades and work modes predicted the number of citations and number of accurate citations.

Sourcing on the internet : Examining the relations among different phases of online inquiry
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Computers and Education Open. - : Elsevier. - 2666-5573. ; 2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examined students’ engagement in sourcing throughout online inquiry, that is, when they specified the information need, formulated search queries, evaluated online texts, and composed a written product. Participants were 167 upper secondary school students. Students completed an online inquiry task in a restricted online environment that utilized authentic online texts. Students’ prior topic knowledge and reading fluency was measured and controlled for in the analysis. The results showed that students engaged in sourcing even in the earliest phases of online inquiry. A sequential regression analysis indicated that the more frequently students engaged in sourcing in specifying the information need and in search querying, the more frequently they engaged in sourcing when judging the credibility of online texts. Further, the more frequently students engaged in sourcing in their credibility judgments, the more frequently sourcing also was observed in their written products. The results suggest that students would benefit from instruction emphasizing that sourcing is a continuous process throughout online inquiry.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We explored potential profiles of interest, attitudes, and source evaluation by performing cluster analysis in a sample of Norwegian upper-secondary students. Differences among the profile groups with regard to multiple-document use were examined. The profile groups were partly consistent with the default stances described by the cognitive-affective engagement model of multiple-source use (List & Alexander, 2017), resulting in critical analytic, evaluative, and disengaged profiles. However, the model’s assumption that interest and attitude constitute one affective engagement dimension was not confirmed. There were no statistically significant differences between the profile groups in the processing of a set of multiple documents; yet there was a tendency for students who adopted a critical analytic stance to engage in a more thorough text selection process. Those students also included more information units from the selected texts in their written products and integrated information units across the texts more frequently compared to the other profile groups.

Pre-service teachers’ conceptions of online learning in emergency distance education : How is it defined and what self-regulated learning skills are associated with it?
- 2022
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We investigated pre-service teachers’ conceptions of online learning during the transition from face-to-face to emergency distance education in Italy, Sweden and Iran. Conceptions of online learning were conceptualised based on how pre-service teachers defined online learning, the self-regulated learning (SRL) skills associated with it and how they compared it to face-to-face education. The participants were asked about the characteristics of their online courses, yielding information about the online learning conditions and experiences. Conceptions of online learning were found to be underdeveloped. Pre-service teachers should develop a flexible approach to SRL that takes into consideration the demands of the specific educational setting.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- An important issue in teaching and research is how newly arrived students best can develop their linguistic resources in learning. The overall aim of the dissertation is to contribute with in-depth knowledge of the context for newly arrived primary school students' digital meaning-making in Swedish as a second language (SSL) when the subject is studied in parallel with Swedish. The context includes the orchestration and content of the teaching, resources for meaning-making, reading and writing processes, and texts; all aspects are essential for the students' scope for meaning-making. This dissertation contains four articles, each aiming to answer the over-arching research questions. I have chosen to divide the context of newly arrived primary school students' digital meaning-making into three levels: conceptual, didactic, and production level. The levels are three different layers rather than a hierarchical system; the levels interact with each other and can move upwards or downwards in the system. The first level, which I chose to call conceptual, concerns teachers' experiences teaching newly arrived students with digital technology in Swedish. Through fieldwork and interviews, I study how teachers manage linguistic complexity involving increasingly digitized teaching. I investigate how teachers' reason whether digital technology can support or hinder learning Swedish as a second language. Here, I focus on the teachers' experiences and perceptions of using technology to help newly arrived students' learning. The second level-the didactic level -focuses on teaching with digital tools and how digital technology affects the organization of teaching in the classroom. How linguistic and spatial boundaries are challenged and handled in teaching with digital technology is studied through observations of teaching. I explore how teachers' teaching orchestration contributes to newly arrived students' opportunities for digital meaning-making, how teachers scaffold newly arrived pupils' digital text activities, and how the teachers use the students: multilingual resources. The third level, the production level, focuses the context surrounding students' text creation and agency in the writing process. In the dissertation, the production level is studied via written text activities, as part of students' meaning-making. I have observed teachers' writing instructions and analysed student texts to explore how newly arrived students create meaning, communicate, and express thehemselves with digital technology and how they can use their multilingual potential in digital writing within different text types. types. This thesis takes its point of departure in sociocultural perspectives that are an overarching term for several closely related human learning (Vygotsky, 1978). By studying how people use tools or tools to understand, act and interact in the outside world and how people adopt, or appropriate, the mediating tools, it is possible to approach how people learn (Salji:i, 2020). Language is a mediating tool, a dynamic and constantly evolving sign system that interacts with other forms of expression (Saljo, 2020). The thesis also has a multimodal perspective (Kress & Van Leeuwen, 2006; Selander, 2017). Multimodality focuses on the different symbols people use to communicate with each other and express themselves (Kress, 2009). Different modalities can give room for multilingual ways of expression. In the thesis, I study how students use modalities in digital meaning-making processes and how students and teachers interpret and get involved in meaning-making. In analyzing students' digital meaning- making and their digital compositions, it is essential to notice how different modalities can contribute to how students use their multilingual palette.The overall methodological approach in the thesis is an ethnographic case study. I chose the case study approach to capture the complexity and activities of a school subject (Cohen, Manion, & Morrison, 2011, p. 128). Inspired by Yin (2009), I intended to create broad empirical material to understand and analyze the context of newly arrived primary school students' digital meaning-making in SSL. Levy and Moore (2018) argue for qualitative methods to investigate how language teaching uses technology. Through qualitative research, learning processes can be studied moment by moment via the alternating use of an outside and an inside perspective. The thesis's most important results are that teachers had an inclusion focus on digital technology, where newly arrived students, together with teachers and other classmates, explored digital meaning-making through multilingualism and translanguaging. However, multilingual components were nothing the newly arrived students could build on in digitally mediated narrative and retelling texts.One of the main contributions of the thesis is how it empirically visualized the context for newly arrived primary school students as well as opportunities and limitations in digital text activities in the Swedish subject. The study results contribute to developing teaching with a multilingual perspective regarding how technology is used, the orchestration of educati9n, and how students are scaffolded.

”Jag brukar söka typ på Siri” : 7-åringars förståelse av information på internet

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- En majoritet av sjuåringar i Sverige använder internet varje dag. Sjuåringars läsförmåga är dock begränsad, vilket försvårar för dem att hitta information, att avgöra varifrån information härstammar eller med vilken intention den är publicerad. Det innebär också att det är svårt är att avgöra trovärdigheten i den funna informationen. I det centrala innehållet för svenskämnet för årskurs 1-3 framgår att elever ska förstå hur texters avsändare påverka innehållet. Det finns med andra ord ett behov av att stödja barn i att förstå hur information når internet så att barnen kan utvärdera trovärdigheten i den information de finner. Utifrån forskningsfrågorna hur gör barn med begränsad läsförmåga när de söker information och hur tror de att information når internet? har vi genomfört en pilotstudie med 23 barn i årskurs 1 (pojkar = 8, flickor = 15). Intervjuerna genomfördes i grupper om tre under skoldagen. Resultaten från innehållsanalys visar att elevernas tankar om och erfarenhet information på internet präglas starkt av användning av Youtube. De visar hur de kan söka fram fritidsrelaterade bilder och videor genom Siri och Youtube och beskriver hur det ser ut när exempelvis videoklipp laddas upp till Youtube. Angående informationens trovärdighet uttrycker de att allt som visas på Youtube inte är sant eller fungerar att genomföra. De gör också skillnad mellan fakta och fiktion, och vet om att vissa saker kostar pengar. En mer abstrakt och kritisk förståelse för hur information landar på internet och har specifika avsändare med en viss intention saknas.
