Time, space and young people´s agency in vocational upper secondary education : a cross-cultural perspective
- 2010
-
In: European Educational Research Journal. - Oxford, United Kingdom : Symposium Journals Ltd. - 1474-9041. ; 9:2, s. 245-256
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article is based on ethnographic studies in the context of vocational education: two in Sweden and one in Finland. The Swedish data originate from the Vehicle programme and the Child and Recreation programme; the Finnish data originate from the social and health-care sector. In this sense, the authors’ perspective is cross-cultural. The article focuses on temporal and spatial dimensions of these three educational contexts and analyzes how young people exhibit their agency when negotiating their time and constructing their own space. The authors’ analysis elucidates how time–space paths in the context of vocational education are classed and gendered. In the female-dominated fields of vocational upper secondary education, disciplinary practices related to time and space are more visible than in the male-dominated fields. Moreover, it is argued that the political atmosphere in Sweden has been more favourable for promoting equality than that in Finland. Despite this, divisions between students and pigeonholing exist in everyday school life.

Lärosätenas organisering av samverkan och modeller för resursfördelning
- 2015
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Projektet har syftat till att kartlägga modeller för hur lärosäten premierar strategisk samverkan i sin interna resursfördelning mellan lärosätesledningen och fakulteter/verksamhetsområden och i nästa led till institutioner eller andra aktiviteter. Som bakgrund till våra analyser har vi kartlagt hur lärosätena organiserar sitt arbete med extern samverkan såväl ledningsmässigt, akademiskt som administrativt. I projektet har även analyserats principer för resursfördelning och metoder för att samla in nödvändig information. En central frågeställning har varit i vad mån förutsättningar inom olika discipliner och utbildningsinriktningar kan jämföras. Ett av resultaten visar att lärosätenas modeller för resursfördelning samtidigt är både jämförbara och unika. Det förekommer sällan tydligt riktade satsningar på samverkan. Genomgången visar samtidigt att aktörer på olika nivåer inom universiteten visar stor skicklighet och uppfinnings ‐ rikedom när det gäller att indirekt påverka den interna fördelningen av fakultetsmedel för såväl utbildning som forskning och forskarutbildning. Ett betydande gemensamt lärande kan åstadkommas genom fortsatt samarbete mellan universitetsledningar och förvaltningar men även mellan fakulteter och institutioner vid respektive lärosäte.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Studien, som redovisas, lyfter fram betydelsen av styrdokumentens och lokala arbetsplaners utformning samt lärares undervisning för att utveckla elevers kommunikativa förmåga uttryckt i förberett tal. I studien görs en retorisk analys av en elevtext, ett manus till ett förberett tal, från en sydafrikansk kontext. I manuset kan tre topos urskiljas, byggnader, samhälle/familj och kroppen, vilka utgör ramen för den retoriska analysen. Vidare visar analysen att eleven i sin text, My name is HIV, tydligt använder sig av retoriska grepp på ett övertygande, intressant och associativt sätt. Avslutningsvis för jag en didaktisk diskussion om undervisning i tal i en svensk kontext, där jag menar att ett kritiskt reflekterande över skrivande och i synnerhet tal måste övervägas.

Privatisation of public education? : The emergence of independent upper secondary schools in Sweden
- 2011
-
In: Journal of education policy. - London : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group. - 0268-0939 .- 1464-5106. ; 26:2, s. 225-243
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores the upper secondary (or post-16) school market. The study on which it is based, funded by the Swedish Research Council, was entitled 'Upper-secondary education as a market'. Empirical data include official statistics, policy documents, school publications, company reports and school visits. Printed and other news media were also scrutinised to identify how the marketisation of education is represented in public discourse. A number of themes emerged from the study which included mapping the expansion of the school market, chains of ownership and influence, marketing strategies, choice and the school market and issues raised in the media. These imply that there is a new market discourse which represents a clear break with previous social democratic education policies primarily aimed at enhancing citizenship and wider democratic values within an inclusive public school. However, critiques have also emerged including a call for strengthened regulations of and control over independent schools and concern about an education market equated more with shares and profits rather than pedagogy and student citizenship. Keywords: upper secondary education; independent schools; Sweden; privatisation; marketisation; education funding; profit-maximisation; discourse

Market competition in upper secondary education: : Perceived effects on teachers’ work
- 2011
-
In: Policy Futures in Education. - Oxford : Symposium Journals. - 1478-2103. ; 9:2, s. 193-205
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The development and expansion of market solutions is one of the mostimportant changes in Swedish education in the last 30 years. The aim of the article is todescribe and analyse how students and staff in upper secondary schools perceive the impactof market competition on teachers’ work. Three groups of actors in two Swedish regionswere interviewed: students, teachers and principals. The interviews were carried out at eightschools in five municipalities, at both public and independent schools. The results show thatcompetition relations are more complex than is often assumed. Intensification of teachers’work is a common theme in the interviews. Traditional professional values and identities arechallenged by the market competition and a market-oriented teacher is shaped – whetherthe teachers like it or not. The extension of teachers’ tasks is increasingly about marketing. Anew type of service-minded and flexible teacher is created. Regarding the effects ofcompetition on teacher performance, the results are contradictory. The quality discourse isproblematised as there is no evident link between winners in the school competition and thequality of teaching and student outcomes. The Swedish case is interesting in theinternational literature as an example of a rapidly growing upper secondary school marketwhich is closer to the logic of the market than many other nations’ school systems.

Globalization and classroom practice : insights on learning about the world in Swedish and Australian schools
- 2013
-
In: Nordidactica. - Karlstad : CSD Karlstad. - 2000-9879. ; :1, s. 104-130
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Globalization and global education implies changes to practices at the classroom level to adapt to new imperatives associated with technology use and awareness, and environmental sustainability. It also implies much more. It implies that teachers apply their classroom pedagogy to take account of students’ new found global understandings of which they, and the school community, is largely unaware. This article addresses and discuses three key consequences of globalization for classrooms worldwide; an increased diversity of experience of the students within the classroom, an increased competitiveness of educational outcomes between national states and subsequently some standardisation of curriculum across nations to enable this, and an increased emphasis on teaching skills and values associated with intercultural understanding. Young children’s map knowledge and their resultant, and associated, interpretations of the world from a comparative study a from Swedish and Australian primary classrooms is used as examples of some of these implications of the impact of ‘global culture’ and ‘global issues’ on current and future classroom practice.

Ännu icke godkänt : lärares sätt att erfara betygssystemet och dess tillämpning i yrkesutövningen
- 2004
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This thesis reports results from a study that focuses on how teachers experience the criterion-referenced grading system and how they say they use it in their professional work. The empirical study was carried out as semi-structured audiotaped interviews with thirty qualified teachers, in the subjects English, Maths and Swedish. The outcome of the qualitative analysis consists of four parts. In the first, the theme analysed was teachers' ways of experiencing the grading system as a phenomenon. This theme has an phenomenographic approach. The results are described in four hierarchically arranged categories. In the second theme, teachers' ways of using the grading system in their professional work was examined. Six situations were identified. In the third theme, teachers' experience of what aspects they discern in the student's grade, was in focus. Even here six categories were established. Finally, four different examples of attitudes towards the grading system and the grading process are presented as a fictional composite. The results show that the new criterion-referenced grading system in secondary schools in Sweden seems to funciton unsatisfactorily. Teachers seem not to have grasped the assumptions underlying the grading system. The change from grading based on quantitative aspects of knowledge to qualitative ones, was evidently too big a step. Instead teachers' assessment and grading follow ingrained habits.

Introducing assessment into Swedish leisure-time centres : pedagogues' attitudes and practices
- 2010
-
In: Education Inquiry. - Umeå : Umeå University. - 2000-4508. ; 1:3, s. 197-209
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article analyses the findings of a survey exploring Swedish leisure-time pedagogues' experiences of assessment in school and leisure-time centres. It aims to boost knowledge of how assessment, as a prominent example of changed education governance, is entering the work of leisure-time pedagogues and how it is perceived by them. It is concluded that leisure-time pedagogues often assess the development of children’s social competencies, activities in their centre and the leisure-time pedagogues’ own contributions. Possible explanations of why these assessments are mainly based on informal observations without any documentation are discussed, as are the leisure-time pedagogues' ambiguous attitudes to them.

Därför läser vi litteratur
- 2016
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Att läsa skönlitteratur på gymnasiet är en mångfacetterad verksamhet. Läraren ska skapa och vidmakthålla läslust och intresse för skönlitteraturen samtidigt som analytiska perspek-tiv ska anläggas på den genom introduktion av litteraturvetenskapliga begrepp och littera-turhistoria. Undervisning i skönlitteratur ska å ena sidan anpassas till elevernas erfarenhet i allmänhet och av litteratur och fiktion i synnerhet. Å andra sidan ska den ge ny kunskap om litteratur och dess utveckling både i Sverige och i världen i stort. Det krävs därför kunskap-er och begrepp om närläsning av litterära texter, men också om hur man kan tänka vad gäller urval av litterära texter. Vidare behöver läraren reflektera över förhållandet mellan kulturarv och ungdomarnas vardag samt kunskaper om hur man kan genomföra undervis-ning i aktiviteter som litteratursamtal, litteraturhistoria och litterär analys. I denna modul kommer dessa aspekter att diskuteras på olika sätt och på olika nivå, ibland konkret nära undervisningen i klassrummet, ibland mera övergripande och reflekterande. Vi börjar med den grundläggande frågan om hur vi motiverar skönlitteraturens ställning i skolan och i svenskämnet.

Fiction-based ethics education in Swedish compulsory school – reflections on a research project
- 2022
-
In: Nordidactica. - Karlstad : Karlstads universitet. - 2000-9879. ; 12:2, s. 84-107
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this article we draw conclusions from a research project in which a unique model for a fiction-based approach to ethics education was developed and used in three Swedish schools. Nine lessons were carried out during the 2019-2020 school year in five school classes: two in Grade 5 and three in Grade 8. Participating teachers worked with the researchers before and during the project to reflect on and develop the model. Moreover, five classes and teachers with their ordinary ethics education were engaged in the project. Theoretically, the project draws on the works of Martha C. Nussbaum in its choice to employ fiction reading in ethics education, and has a foundation in a sociocultural theory on moral development elaborated by Mark B. Tappan. The article’s aim is to critically reflect on the results and design of the project in relation to the theoretical underpinnings, with the purpose of offering reflections on ethics education for further development in both research and educational practice.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- They come from the north-east. On competition between schools, and student identity in Swedish as a Second Language. Current educational policy in Sweden is characterized by individual choice. Many students who opt for city-centre schools are students with a first language other than Swedish, choosing a school where the majority of students speak Swedish as their first language. Our aim is to analyse the discursive practices discernible in the discourse about students of Swedish as a Second Language (SSL) in a city-centre school. The data are collected from an ethnographic inquiry undertaken in a compulsory school attended by children aged 10–12. The results show how a child’s identity as an SSL student is linked to a market view of education. The SSL student is not just one who has recently immigrated, as is stated in descriptions of the subject. Nor are all students offered education in SSL, since teachers and school leaders claim a lack of resources. In this discourse, SSL students are described as belonging to a category separate from the supposedly normal student. Students from suburban schools are described as substitutes for those living nearby. This has created a dilemma for the school, which risks losing its symbolic value as a “Swedish” school.

Human Rights Education as Democratic Education The Teaching Traditions of Children's Human Rights in Swedish Early Childhood Education and School
- 2019
-
In: The International Journal of Children's Rights. - Pa Leiden : Brill Academic Publishers. - 0927-5568 .- 1571-8182. ; 27:4, s. 694-718
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines the teaching traditions of children's human rights in four levels of education in Swedish early childhood education and school by drawing on a three-year long didactic (Didaktik) research project on the teaching and learning of human rights. The purpose of the article is threefold. First, the aims, content and methods used in the teaching of the four levels are compiled. Second, the main characteristics of the observed teaching are analysed. Third, the question of why rights are taught is examined using Roberts' concept of curriculum emphases (1982). The article identifies the aims, content and methods used within each level of education and the main characteristics of the teaching of human rights and shows that the teaching of human rights often consists of the content themes interaction and the life conditions of others. When further analysed, the main conclusion is that the teaching tradition of human rights is strongly rooted in the fundamental and democratic values on which Swedish education is based (Education Act, 2010) - a democratic curriculum emphasis.

NTA som skolutvecklingsprogram : utvärdering av effekten av kompetensutveckling på lärarna och deras värderingar samt effekten på kommun- och rektorsnivå
- 2007
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- För de flesta lärare är det viktigaste med NTA att det ger inspiration, glädje och lust i arbetet med naturvetenskap och teknik i de tidigare skolåren. På de skolor där man arbetar med NTA får många elever en undervisning i naturvetenskap och teknik som inte bara handlar om naturen och människokroppen. För en del elever betyder det också att de får mer undervisning i dessa ämnen. För en del lärare ger NTA en möjlighet till ökad reflektion över sin undervisning samtidigt som de utvecklar en pedagogisk kompetens som de kan använda i andra ämnen. Både lärare med och utan naturvetenskap i sin utbildning uppskattar NTA. Den nästan obefintliga kritik som finns mot lådorna och utbildningarna kommer från några lärare med utbildning i naturvetenskap.I skolutveckling kan NTA fungera genom att undervisningen i naturvetenskap och teknik på skolan ökar i omfattning och blir kvalitativt bättre. NTA kan vara ett led i att höja den pedagogiska kompetensen och likaså ett led i arbetet med lokala arbetsplaner, språkutveckling och individuella utvecklingsplaner. Det finns exempel på hur NTA kan vara ett medel att öka kontakterna med det omgivande samhället.En slutsats är att arbetet med NTA utvecklas olika beroende på lärares grundläggande kompetens och på de möjligheter de ser i utveckling av materialet. NTA kan vara en viktig kugge i skolutveckling beroende på vilken skolutveckling som prioriteras och vilka möjligheter och förutsättningar skolledarna ser och utnyttjar.
