Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Mid Sweden University and Kalmar University have organised studies on reading skills among students in grade 8 during 2002 – 2007 in Nacka, Sollentuna, Tyresö and Upplands-Väsby. All students in grade 8 in the municipalities have participated in the studies. In total 16 287 students participated. These studies have included a reading test and information collected from the teachers about students’ age, gender, mother tongue, participation in remedial education, participation in mother tongue education and participation in education in Swedish as a second language. The results from these studies are used to compare the reading skills of the Swedish students and the students of immigrant origin. The analysis take age and gender into consideration. A comparison is made between Swedish students and students of immigrant origin receiving remedial education. Within the group of students of immigrant origin a comparison is made between those who have participated in education in their mother tongue and those who have not participated in such education. A comparison is also be made between those who have participated in education in Swedish as a second language and those who have not participate in this education. The purpose of these comparisons are to find out whether: - the same gender differences in reading skills can be found among Swedish students and students of immigrant origin? - the same age differences in reading skills can be found among Swedish students and students of immigrant origin? - there are differences between Swedish students who participated in remedial education and students of immigrant origin who participated in remedial education? - there are differences between the students of immigrant origin who participated in mother tongue education and the students of immigrant origin who did not participate in mother tongue education? - there are differences between the students of immigrant origin who participated in education in Swedish as a second language and the students of immigrant origin who did not participate in education in Swedish as a second language? The results are further discussed and related to findings from other surveys, both national and international.

Reading and education for students of immigrant origin in a number of Swedish municipalities : Paper presented at European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) in Gothenburg, in September 2008
- 2008
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Mid Sweden University and Kalmar University have organised surveys on reading skills in a number of Swedish municipalities. All students in grade 8 in these municipalities have participated in the surveys, in total 16 287 students. These surveys have included a reading test and information collected from the teachers about the students, including participation in instruction in Swedish as a second language and in their mother tongues. Students of immigrant origin in Sweden are offered the possibility to participate in instruction in Swedish as a second language and in their mother tongue. Collected data from the municipalities are used to see whether the percentage of students of immigrant origin participating in these types of instruction is increasing or decreasing. The data are also used to look at differences between those students of immigrant origin who participate and not participate in these types of instruction. Are there differences in the results on the reading tests? Are different language groups participating to the same extent in these types of instruction? Are there gender differences related to the participation in these types of instruction? The results will be further discussed and related to findings from other surveys, both national and international.

Reading and remedial education among students of immigrant origin in a number of Swedish municipalities
- 2008
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Mid Sweden University and Kalmar University have organised studies on reading skills in a number of Swedish municipalities. All students in grade 8 in these municipalities have participated in the studies, approximately 24 000 students. These studies have included a reading test and information collected from the teachers about the students, including participation in remedial education. Students of immigrant origin face two problems in relation to remedial education. One problem is that these students receive remedial education because the teachers wrongly assume that the students’ reading problems are related to general reading difficulties instead of problems related to weak understanding of Swedish. The other problem is that students of immigrant origin may not get the remedial education they should have because their reading problems are not discovered as teachers assume that their problems are related to weak understanding of Swedish. In order to analyse this the students of immigrant origin will be compared with the Swedish students in respect of participation in remedial education and reading test results. The results will be further discussed and related to findings from other surveys, both national and international

Student self-assessment and reading
- 2008
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It is interesting to examine students´ self-assessment and reading for two reasons. One reason is to get an idea about how reliable students self-assessment is and another reason is that self-assessment in itself is an important skill needed as a part of the competence to learn as such. During the period 1997- 1999 were 20,000 students in grade 3 and 15,000 students in grade 8 in Stockholm tested in reading. The students had to complete a reading test, but also complete a questionnaire in which, among other questions, students were asked to make a self-assessment of their reading skills. The younger students were also asked to make a self-assessment of their reading based on how they judged their ability to read subtitles on TV. The surveys included all students in grade 3 and 8 in Stockholm in these years. Participation in the survey was compulsory for all schools with students in these grades. The paper will examine the correlation between results on the reading test and the students´ self-assessment of their reading skills. These correlations will be further analysed taking age, gender and other variables into consideration.
