Att utmana erfarenheter : Kunskapsutveckling i en forskningscirkel
- 2007
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis aims at describing and analysing the process and content in knowledge development within a research circle. The participants in this circle are seven teachers who work with multilingual children diagnosed within the autism spectrum, and me as a researcher.The study is conducted within the tradition of participatory-oriented research. The research issue concerns the questions these teachers ask themselves in their everyday work. The study, consisting of twelve meetings, was carried out during 2004-2005. In the final meeting material collected in the circle was analysed together by all participants. The knowledge-content analysis disclosed four main themes: mother-tongue issues, disabilities and diagnoses, the issue of frames and matters related to working with parents and other professionals. The results show that once a child is diagnosed within the autism spectrum the diagnosis “takes over” and mother-tongue instruction is seldom discussed.The participants in the circle found it difficult to collaborate with the various authorities involved in working with a child and its family. They also found it difficult to communicate with parents, due to language barriers, different cultural contexts, and the observation that interpreters did not translate properly. The participants noted an existing hierarchy in relation to doctors and psychologists, regarded as having the mandate to assess a child’s ability and suggest placement in class.A conclusion is that the work of the teachers entails a high degree of complexity, and that knowledge meetings and collaboration between parents, teachers, and the various authorities are needed. During the circle process emancipating collective knowledge was constructed transcending what any participant had from the start. Experiences discussed in continuing dialogues, and in an on-going process, seem to be essential for generation of knowledge. When experiences were challenged, potentials for different actions were revealed.

Challenging assessing practice in schools for students with intellectual disabilities

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Within the Swedish special school for children with intellectual disability (ID) issues concerning the improvement and formative assessment of knowledge appropriation are largely unexplored. The teaching practice has generally been organized by means of simple, repetitive tasks with a minimum of variation and a tempo that tends to inhibit, fragmentize and simplify the whole. Thereby contemplated knowledge remains inaccessible and to a simpler assessment practice. However, new demands from the government make teachers face requirements to create more complex assessment practices. This presentation is based upon data from seven case studies focusing teachers experiences from teaching and assessing literacy. The case studies were designed as research-circles, focus groups interviews, or as research and development projects. 120 teachers from different special schools together with researchers were involved. Theoretically, the projects are framed within the Cultural-Historical Activity Theory and focus on two main issues: What is the object of teachers´ assessment work concerning literacy? How do teachers handle a changed teaching assignment – from a simpler to a more complex practice? Results indicate that teachers seem to be hindered by their taken-for-granted assumptions about assessing, i.e. to shift perspective from focusing on what simply could be assessed to what would be worth assessing. By challenging these assumptions, potential changes in assessment practices could be discussed.

Collective Remembering - Möjlighet till synliggörande av en förändrad bedömningspraktik
- 2018
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Bedömning av kunskapsutveckling har länge varit lågprioriterat i grund- och gymnasiesärskolan. Enkla uppgifter med ett minimum av variation har tenderat att fragmentarisera undervisningen och lett till en förenklad bedömningspraktik. Nuvarande läroplaner innebär krav på mer komplexa bedömningspraktiker - dock saknas fördjupade uppföljningsstudier. Tillsammans med studenter verksamma i grund- och gymnasiesärskolan genomfördes vårterminen 2017 en studie inom speciallärarutbildningen, specialisering mot utvecklingsstörning, för att undersöka förändringar över tid i grund- och gymnasiesärskolans bedömningspraktiker. Studien inspirerades av tidigare arbeten med gruppsamtal inom ramen för Collective remembering (Konkola, 2000; Berthén, 2007; Berglund & Lindberg, 2015). Samtalen genomfördes med studenterna under ledning av två lärare/forskare. En tidslinje, som visualiserade den kronologiska ordning i vilken deltagarna anställts i särskolan, användes som redskap för att organisera samtalet där korta berättelser fokuserade lokala förhållanden gällande bedömning och bedömningsredskap i särskolans undervisning. Studenterna genomförde därefter gruppsamtal på motsvarande sätt med kollegor på sina arbetsplatser. Analysarbetet genomfördes gemensamt utifrån en verksamhetsteoretisk ansats och innehållet organiserades kronologiskt. Lärdomar av projektet:- studenterna kunde urskilja tydliga spår av kvarvarande traditioner och även skönja förändringar som skett i samband med läroplansreformerna.- studenterna uttryckte att genomförandet av Collective remembering med kollegor erbjöd ett redskap att tillsammans utforska den egna praktiken och tydliggjorde behovet av kollegialt utvecklingsarbete.
