Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In vocational education, the learning content is often considered as concrete and specific, and the vocational learning involves physical work and interactions between participants and artefacts. Furthermore, one teacher has the overall responsibility for several students during classes in the vocational workshop at school, which means that the teacher has limited time for every single student and that the few minutes they meet become very important. However, the documented knowledge about how vocational learning is constituted in the vocational classroom and what learning content is focused on in the interaction between teachers and students is very sparse. In this study, we focus on how the enacted object of learning and its critical aspects are made relevant, when a student and teacher in a plumbing workshop session negotiate the conducting of a task in Swedish vocational education. This will be done by using CAVTA (Conversation Analysis and Variation Theory Approach) to make a close and detailed analysis of video recordings of the interaction between the student and teacher when a task is introduced in the workshop session. The results show a complex process, where the teacher alternates between parts and wholeness, using several semiotic resources at hand when highlighting the learning content.

Hur allt smälter samman i handlingens centrum : En yrkesämnesdidaktisk studie av transformation, variation och interaktion i svetsundervisning
- 2023
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Föreliggande licentiatuppsats är en yrkesämnesdidaktisk studie som behandlar praktiska lärandemoment på det industritekniska programmet, med inriktning svetsteknik.Det övergripande syftet med licentiatuppsatsen är att bidra med kunskap om undervisnings- och lärandeprocesser när lärare systematiskt transformerar ämnesinnehåll och yrkeskunnande till svetsundervisning. Faktorer som påverkar undervisning av praktiska moment i svetsteknik behandlas med stöd av begreppet transformation och i studien utforskas hur svetslärare kan synliggöra lärandeobjekt och stimulera elevers uppvisande av förståelse och färdigheter i undervisningssituationer av praktiska moment. Studien har samlat empiri från ett praktiknära forskningsprojekt som har vilat på det teoretiska ramverket CAVTA, en kombination av samtalsanalys och variationsteori. Projektet har designats med inspiration av learning study. Olika perspektiv av det övergripande syftet behandlas i de två delstudier som innefattas i licentiatuppsatsen. Delstudie 1 utforskar undervisnings- och lärandeprocessen när svetslärare dels transformerar ämnesinnehåll och yrkeskunnande genom synliggörande av ljud och hörselintryck i förhållande till lärandeobjektet, inställningar av utrustningen i svetsmetoden MIG/MAG, dels stimulerar elever att uppvisa förståelse och färdigheter av undervisningsinnehållet i undervisningspassens interaktion. Delstudie 2 behandlar synliggörande av ett lärandeobjekt och elevers uppvisande av förståelse och färdigheter i svetsmetoden TIG. Denna delstudie fokuserar användandet av CAVTA och modellen learning study i teknisk yrkesutbildning. I resultaten framträder hur ett ämnesinnehåll, som är vagt definierat i kursplaner, bland annat genom svetslärares yrkeskunnande transformeras till undervisning av praktiska moment i svetsteknik. Studien visar hur undervisningen systematiskt utvecklas med stöd i det teoretiska ramverket CAVTA och ansatsen learning study. Ett snävt urval av lärandeobjekt och ett tydligt avgränsat fokus ger den undervisande läraren möjlighet att i variation synliggöra aspekter i undervisningssituationer och samtidigt stimulera den enskilde eleven att på olika sätt uppvisa sin förståelse och sina färdigheter i undervisningspassens interaktion. Förslag över hur modellen learning study kan utvecklas för användning i studier rörande praktiska moment i svetsundervisning förs fram. Implikationer från studien rör framför allt undervisning av praktiska moment i svetsning där resultaten av systematisk integrering av variation i interaktion verkar lovande, även om vissa utmaningar lyfts fram. I ett större perspektiv kan resultaten vara intressanta för utveckling av lärandeobjekt av praktiska moment inom annan teknisk yrkesutbildning.

Att stärka bron genom reflektion : Lärarutbildares lärande i arbetet med att överbrygga klyftor mellan universitet och VFU
- 2021

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I yrkesutbildning talas det ofta om klyftor, mellan det lärande som sker på skola/universitetet och det lärande som sker i Arbetsplatsförlagt lärande (APL) eller Verksamhetsförlagd utbildning (VFU). Användandet av digital teknik kan vara ett sätt att överbrygga sådana klyftor. Tidigare studier visar att digital teknik kan öka insynen i elevers eller studenters praktik (Cattaneo & Aprea, 2018; Enochsson m fl. 2020; Kilbrink m fl. 2021; Motta m fl., 2014; Schwendimann m fl., 2015). I föreliggande projekt fokuserar vi på yrkesutbildningen till lärare och att belysa lärarutbildarnas eget lärande och hur deras läraridentitet utvecklas och transformeras när de arbetar med digital teknik för att koppla samman olika lärandearenor.Under sin VFU i en kurs på en yrkeslärarutbildning har studenterna fört en multimodal digital loggbok kring några på förhand bestämda uppdrag, som hänger samman med aktuella kursmål. I projektet har upprepade intervjuer genomförts med lärarutbildarna om deras erfarenheter av att införa och låta studenterna arbeta med loggböckerna, i syfte att koppla samman lärandet mellan den universitetsförlagda delen av kursen och VFU.Av resultaten framkommer att loggboken fungerar som en bro mellan universitetet och VFU. Samtidigt som lärarutbildarna får större insyn i vad studenterna gör och lär sig på sin VFU får de också större insikt i den verksamhet de utbildar sina studenter för. För även om många lärarutbildare själva har en lärarutbildning är det ofta ett tag sedan de själva var verksamma i skolan. Resultaten visar också att då lärarutbildarna reflekterar över studenternas lärande och den nya teknikens roll så sker ett lärande även hos dem.

Learning pathways between university, school and working life when student teachers use digital multimodal logbooks to cross boundaries
- 2021
-
In: <em>Pathways in Vocational Education and Training and Lifelong Learning</em>. ; , s. 45-50
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study aims to provide insight into the learning processes that take place when vocational student teachers work with multimodal digital logbooks at the campus and between school and placement. The study will highlight vocational student teachers’ experiences of using logbooks between university and practicum as well as between school and pupils’ practicum. It will also highlight how student teachers learn when working with logbooks. The data consist of transcripts from eight interviews with vocational student teachers about their experiences of working with a digital, multimodal course logbook in their placement course and 19 essays about working with digital, and sometimes multimodal, logbooks between secondary school and practicum. A thematic analysis was conducted based on the key concepts in a previously developed model (Kilbrink et.al., 2021) to find out how student teachers experience the use of digital multimodal logbooks and their own learning processes during it. The analyses also show that both kinds of logbooks worked well for the students as a means of both advancing and showing their professional development. There are as many learning examples as there are essays, and the student teachers learn from failure as well as success. When the Identification model is applied to the data, pedagogical aims seem to play a greater role than the choice of digital technology. In addition, how the technology is used becomes a crucial factor for which level of communication is reached. By using the Identification model to analyse vocational student teachers’ experiences of using digital, multimodal logbooks as boundary objects between university and practicum as students and between school and practicum as teachers, as well as their experienced learning processes in relation to the use of the logbooks, the study provides insight into some of the learning processes that take place across learning institutions and practicums.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the vocational education classroom settings, teaching and learning are done in interaction between teacher and students. This study is a part of a larger VR-funded project (dnr 2017-03552) which explores vocational learning in technical upper secondary vocational education. In our study we aim to shed light on how learning takes place in a vocational classroom at the handicraft programme (hair- and makeup stylist) in actual teaching situations. When studying how learning takes place in a vocational and educational training classroom, we can reach more in-depth knowledge about the teacher-student interaction in a narrower scale. The purpose is to contribute with knowledge regarding how learning takes place and can be made visible with support of the concepts critical aspects features within variation theory (cf. Marton, 2015) and how learning is done in interaction (Sahlström, 2012) between the teacher and the student(s) in the learning settings. Methods/Methodology Our empirical data consists of video material of lessons in the Handicraft programme. Conversation Analysis and Variation Theory (CAVTA) are the basis of this study described by Kilbrink and Asplund (2020). To reach a more comprehensive knowledge of the what- and the how-aspects of learning, Conversation analysis and Variation Theory are merged into one common approach (cf. Emanuelsson & Sahlström, 2008). CAVTA is used as the analytical tool when analyzing the video material. Expected outcomes In the data we can see that it takes about 3-7 rounds of interactions where the student gets guidance step by step, before the student reach the learning content regarding the whole makeup procedure. The teacher comes back to the students learning process and negotiates continuously during the lesson. Learning occurs through negotiating when using artefacts, embodied movements, mirrors and tools.

Using the Mirror as a Working Tool in Handicraft Education
- 2023

In: The 40th International Pupils’ Attitudes Towards Technology Conference Proceedings 2023, 1(October). - Liverpool.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In interaction between students and vocational teachers, technical artefacts constitute an essential part for the development of vocational students’ future professional knowledge. Although vocational learning has been an under-researched area, there has been an increased interest within the vocational education research to examine the teaching and learning processes that take place when vocational students and teachers interact in vocational school settings. The presence of physical objects such as tools, machines and material in the teaching and learning processes within vocational education, which encompass a central aspect of a vocational subjects’ specific characteristics, is a dimension which is often overlooked. In the Handicraft programme (specialization hair- and makeup stylist) at Swedish upper secondary vocational education, a large part of the practical work that students are engaged in is to view their work through the mirror. Therefore, the focus in this study is what learning content is made relevant when teacher and student(s) are interacting in front of the mirror. The data for the study consists of video recorded lessons from the Handicraft Programme, and the study is based on CAVTA (Conversation Analysis and Variation Theory). Based on CAVTA, the process of learning includes what is being learned and how learning is done in interaction between the teacher and student(s) in the authentic and enacted teaching session. At the conference, we will present results from detailed analysis of sequences when the teacher and the students interact in front of the mirror and what vocational knowledge is made possible to learn in these interactions.
