Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the present article is to describe how the local environment affects people and how people can have an impact on their local environment. Using the sports movement as an example, the article discusses the importance of getting citizens to participate and to play an active role in decision processes concerning physical planning for the local environment. How we design our outdoor environments largely determines how our children develop in terms of their motor coordination and self-image, and thereby also their mental status, concentration ability, and academic aptitude as well as our children’s resources for engaging in one or several athletic activities that promote life-long amusement, good health and well-being. For young people, the opportunity to spontaneously use their local environment is a basic need, one that has received too little attention in city planning, e.g. fill in projects. Politicians are sensitive to public expressions of opinion. If it unites its power, the sport clubs and sport federations should be able to ensure high quality play environments for children and spaces for spontaneous sports activities for youth. The new trend towards private-public-partnership means a great deal of negotiations between the developer and the city leadership in which citizens have no access. It takes place behind closed doors and the child perspective is often forgotten. The sport clubs and sport federations have a chance to take the initiative here by formulating goals for children’s and young people’s motor, social and cognitive development and by pushing its own proposals for developing the local community.

- In this study data are drawn from ethnographic research combined with audio-recordings of everyday peer interactions in a multiethnic elementary school in Sweden. The analysis is based on longitudinal work among five preadolescent girls with low income and mixed ethnicities. Special attention is given to the social process (conflict talk, accounts, insults, threats, forms of membership categorization-work) of social exclusion in a girl group. The analysis combines ethnography with examination of talk-in-interaction (CA) and ethnomethodological concerns for membership categorizations (MCA). As will be demonstrated the targeted girl was affiliated with multiple negative categorizations such as “bad friend”, “bad girl”, ”friendless”, “insane” and “bullied”, and eventually socially excluded from the girl-group. In constructing such categorizations the girls’ engaged in relational talk in which they deployed diverse forms of judgmental work (complaints, accusations, justifications, insults, recycling, accounts, negative person descriptions). As a result, the girls arranged social relations of power, indexed social identities, policed gender-deviant behaviours and justified social exclusion. Overall the analysis provides a critical perspective on peer victimization that accounts for the complexities, dynamics and contradictions inherent in girl-bullying and feminine morality.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article discusses the importance of personal sporting skills in PE Teacher Education. The article is based on interviews with a group of teachers in PE Education. They were interviewed about how they perceive the needs of skills in PE Students. The article also discusses the diminished importance in PE Education of the need of physical literacy. A particular focus is on the discussion of personal skills in dancing and in ball games. The results show that there is a difference between how the PE educators talk about personal skills in dance and in ball games. There is consensus concerning the importance of the need for good personal ability in dancing, which also permeates the exams that the students are doing. In ball games, on the other hand, the discussion underlines the importance of general skills in coaching and leadership rather than personal skills in various ball games, in order to create good learning situations for different groups of pupils.

- En angelägen fråga i dagens samhälle är huruvida det finns rum för barn. Om vi lät barns och ungdomars perspektiv ligga till grund för fysisk planering och skolors närmiljö, skulle vi då kunna skapa ett bättre samhälle för barn och unga?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- With its background in research on the development of the second language and the language use of immigrant children as portrayed in political discourse, this article discusses the significance of the mother tongue in the access of newly-arrived pupils to teaching in school subjects while the development of their second language is in its earliest stages. The starting point for the project is a socio-cultural perspective of teaching and the development of knowledge, and that language is discourse. If one sees citizenship as an expressed goal of education with the aim of stimulating inclusion and critical thought, language plays a decisive role in how all voices can make themselves heard. Two preparatory classes in Malmö were invited to problem-solving work sessions in the technical workshop at the School of Education. The student teachers acted as supervisors and observers alternately, and documented the conversations that took place. Sequences of conversation were recorded for analysis. The study illuminates and problematises the content of the conversations during problem-solving, what initiatives to conversation are taken by pupils and students, what the possibilities of problem-solving using the mother tongue are, and what the pupils’ texts contain and if they are functional, in the sense that it is possible to understand what the pupil wants to mediate to the reader. Excerpts from the recordings show that both children and students use a variety of “strategies” in the conversations and this has a number of consequences for the processes of knowledge.

- The purpose of this article is to analyze the importance and meaning of education within one of the Swedish horse riding organizations – Ridfrämjandet. The organization was formed in 1948, and shortly after its establishment it is clear that it attracted especially young people and children. Ridfrämjandet, as many other sports associations, achieved governmental subsidies for their youth activities and a large amount of their work was devoted to courses. The sociologist Tomas Peterson has used two concepts to characterize the educational strivings within the sports associations: education for competition and education for citizenship. Furthermore he has demonstrated that the courses arranged by the Swedish Football Association soon after their introduction developed competitive characteristics. By contrast, the courses arranged by Ridfrämjandet focused on citizenship education. In order to characterize the educational strivings in Ridfrämjandet, another concept has to be used as well – education for caretaking. It is possible that the caretaking characteristics in the equestrian organization can be connected to the process of feminization.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper young people’s use of and relation to dance, theatre and aesthetic practices is investigated. In what ways can aesthetic practices play an important role in young people’s career expectations and identity formation? The empirical material consists primarily of a case study of an amateur theatre group in a Swedish suburb and complementary interviews. The focus is on the one hand on the different learning processes taking place, and on the other hand on the intersection between the practices of theatre, the schooling system and a multicultural context. Consequently, this is also a study of young people’s career patterns and lifestyles. The results imply that the aesthetic practices create openings for experimenting with identities and for hybridity, that is, for the complex combination of different types of identities. By developing an intermediate area in which the stable is dissolved, “traditional” distinctions are partially erased and reconstructed. The multicultural context and the societal structures are not that present. This is rather a study of self-development, individualization and an ongoing neo-liberal transformation of schools, learning processes and identities.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This report compares and analyzes a selection of item banks with regard to the proposed purposes of a future item bank for Swedish compulsory school. Several purposes are presented, but the formative purpose, with its potential to support schools and teachers in their efforts to help the students reach the national goals, is seen as the most important. The item bank can realize this purpose by making the goals clearer and more specific. Furthermore, an item bank can aid the students in reaching the national goals by providing high-quality tasks; assessing students’ strengths and weaknesses. An item bank can also contribute to increased agreement between different assessors, with regard to student fulfilment of the national goals, by showing how the national goals can be assessed. This, however, might be restricted to the tasks provided by the item bank. On condition that the proposed item bank includes resources for developing teachers’ assessment competence in a more general way, both formative and summative purposes for classroom assessment can be favoured. That the item bank could indeed have this function is shown by the analysis of international experiences.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I denna artikel jämförs och analyseras ett urval av provbanker i relation till de föreslagna syftena för en framtida provbank i grundskolan. Flera syften presenteras, men det formativa syftet, med dess potential att stötta skolor och lärare i deras arbete med att hjälpa eleverna nå de nationella målen, ses som det viktigaste. Provbanken kan uppnå detta syfte genom att förtydliga och konkretisera målen. En provbank kan dessutom hjälpa eleverna att nå de nationella målen genom att bistå med uppgifter av hög kvalitet samt stöd för att bedöma elevernas styrkor och svagheter. En provbank kan även bidra till ökad likvärdighet i bedömningen genom att visa hur de nationella målen kan bedömas. Denna effekt riskerar dock vara begränsad till de uppgifter som finns i provbanken. Om den föreslagna provbanken även inkluderar resurser för att vidareutveckla lärarnas bedömningskompetens, kan emellertid effekten eventuellt överskrida de uppgifter som tillhandahålls i provbanken, vilket visas genom analyser av internationella erfarenheter.
