Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In schools and in society it is argued about the importance of living a healthy life. The discus-sions are often focusing on different kinds of food. In this paper the focus is on students’ knowledge about the human body and how this is related to their thoughts about living a healthy life. 88 students in 9:th grade, in one Swedish school, were involved in the study. The study contains drawings and written questions, both open and multiple- choice, and interviews with students and teachers. We report that it is possible for the pupils to transfer knowledge from one context to another, (sandwich and painkiller) concerning pathways in the digestive system. But it is harder for them to connect different organ systems in their explanations, e.g. water's path through the body. More than half of the interviewed pupils believed that there is nutrition in water, but most of them were unable to specify what this nutrition consists of. It was also found that a few students believed that the body stores nutrition and energy when they skip a meal.

Physics and the possibility of a religious view of the universe : Swedish upper secondary students' views
- 2007

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study is addressing both upper secondary students’ views of whether it is possible to combine a scientific view of the universe with a religious conviction, and their views of miracles. Students are asked about their own views as well as the views they associate with physics. The study shows that in some cases the students’ own views differ from the views they associate with physics. This we consider to be a possible problem for these students. Through looking at how the students explain the views they associate with physics concerning the issues above, we show that these views are for many of the students intertwined with and linked to other views, that in the students’ views, are part of the worldview of physics. It is common that the students associate scientism with physics. We question whether these kinds of views are necessary for the building of scientific knowledge. Consequences for the teaching and learning of science are discussed.

Swedish upper secondary students' views of the origin and development of the universe

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article is addressing how students reason about the origin and development of the universe. Students’ own views as well as their descriptions of physical models are analysed. Data consists of written surveys, and interviews of a subset of the students. Most of the students relate to the Big Bang model when describing the origin of the universe. The study however shows that this can mean different things to the students. The article also addresses views of whether or not the universe changes and of the origin of the elements. When comparing students’ own views with their views of the physics view this study shows that there are students who have a different view of their own than the view they connect with physics. This shows that students, in the area of cosmology, do not necessarily take the view they connect with physics to be their own. Examples of students who handle the physics view in different ways are discussed. There are students who relate not only to science but also to a religious worldview when describing their own view. This shows that when discussing cosmology in class, also a religious worldview can be relevant for parts of the student group.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den här studien är en del i ett större forskningsprojekt som startade våren 1997 då eleverna var 6-7 år. Jag har genomfört riktade undervisningsinslag som byggt på vardagsfenomen kring vatten och dess fasändringar. Eleverna har intervjuats före och efter vår undervisning. Elevernas förklaringar har analyserats tillsammans med filmade undervisningstillfällen mot bakgrund av den teoretiska ramen för att söka få en helhetsbild av varje elev och följa hur de utvecklar sina uppfattningar. Det jag ser är att eleverna får en bättre förståelse av begreppen avdunstning och kondensation.
