Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Critique plays an important role within the educational field; yet it seems to function within a framework that is considerably limited by the presuppositions of its objects. Studying the debate on critique that takes place within the sociological field makes it possible to understand the forms and roles critique can take, and how to handle its immanent contradictions. It is argued that while social science can make way for critique by using totalizing theories, actors can be critical by referring to lived experience. But the latter form of critique risks to be neutralized by institutional instances of expertise. The theoretical framework presented is illustrated by an analysis of how two educations in pedagogy on an advanced level interpret their cause to equip their students with an ability to think critically. The comparison shows that one education tends to focus on expertise, and the other one is critical in a more reflexive manner. The article is concluded with a reflection on the need for a radical critique within the educational field.

Läsning som passion och social praktik : Om läspraktiken i en bokcirkel

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Den här artikeln bygger på forskning om läspraktiken i en bokcirkel med vardagliga läsare. Bakgrunden är det växande gapet mellan professionell läsning inom akademin, som ofta beskrivs som kritiskt distanserad och analytisk, och vardagliga läsares läsning, som ofta karaktäriseras som uppslukande, naiv och okritisk. Bristen på forskning på detta område har noterats av flera forskare (Felski, 2008, Miall, 2006; Persson, 2011). Syftet med studien är att förstå de karaktäristiska dragen i bokcirkelns läspraktik och det meningsskapande som sker i den. Fallstudien genomfördes i en bokcirkel med sju kvinnor som träffades regelbundet för att samtala om fiktion. Materialet består av dokumenterade träffar, intervjuer med samtliga deltagare och observationsanteckningar förda i när anslutning till träffarna. Resultatet visar en mångfacetterad läspraktik, å ena sidan präglad av uppslukande läsning kopplad till starka känslomässiga upplevelser, å andra sidan av reflektion och kritisk analys av både fiktionen och världen utanför den. Läspraktiken påverkar deltagarnas reflektioner över det egna livet och det samhälle de lever i på ett många gånger avgörande sätt. Resultatet kan ge värdefulla insikter också i ett litteraturdidaktiskt perspektiv.

Musikalitetens roll i teaterpedagogiken: Konstnärlig kunskapsbildning genom intermediala begreppslån
- 2018
-
In: Educare - Vetenskapliga Skrifter. - : Malmo University Library. - 1653-1868. ; :1, s. 170-200

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Artistic research is a comparatively new academic field, displaying multiple epistemological and methodological approaches. Through a concrete exemplification, this article studies how knowledge formation and learning may take place in artistic fields by way of intermedially borrowed concepts. The prominent use of the concept of ’musicality’ as a prestige word in the field of spoken theatre is investigated, analysed and discussed through a hermeneutic approach, based on extensive qualitative interviews with artists and educators in this field. In conclusion, the cognitive and normative functions of this usage are pointed out as urgent themes for future educational research.

Japansk populärkultur bland unga i svensk kontext: Lolitastilen som förhandling om ålder och genus
- 2016
-
In: Educare. - 1653-1868. ; 2016:1, s. 180-200
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An increasing interest in Eastern Asian popular culture can be discerned among Swedish youth. When cultural elements are used in new contexts, meanings are partly transformed and reenacted in new ways. This article explores how the Japanese fashion style Lolita is negotiated in a Swedish context. The data are based on observations and interviews at Swedish conventions for Eastern Asian popular culture, and a group interview with five teenagers using Lolita style. For analysis, we use concepts relating to age, gender and gaze. The re-sults show that Lolita style offers possibilities for the young people in our study, female as well as male, to explore a certain form of feminine girlishness. How-ever, this process involves negotiation about age, gender and bodies in public spaces, and by its use of childish femininity, the Lolita style seen through a spectator’s gaze may generate ridicule. Its radicality and provocation seem to lie in the way Lolitas challenge norms about gender, age and expectations about “growing up”.

Educational history in the age of apology : The Church of Sweden's "White book" on historical relations to the Sami, the significance of education and scientific complexities in reconciling the past
- 2019
-
In: Educare. - Malmö : Malmo University Library. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; :1, s. 69-95

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Reconciliation processes – wherein governments and other organizations examine their past institutional practices to understand contemporary problems in relation to minorities or indigenous groups – have become a widespread international phenomenon in recent decades. In Sweden, such an ongoing process is the reconciliation work between the Church of Sweden and the Sami. In this process, which recently resulted in the publication of a scholarly anthology (or a “white book”), educational history has come to play a vital part. The present article uses the Church of Sweden’s White Book as an empirical object of study to examine in more detail the role and significance of knowledge of educational history for this specific reconciliation process. By focusing on various scientific complexities and epistemological tensions that tend to arise in these kinds of undertakings, this paper also aims to problematize the white book genre itself as a path to historical knowledge. By doing this, this article’s overall ambition is to contribute to future scholarly work in reconciliation activities, white papers and truth commissions. This study applies a qualitative content analysis and connects theoretically to the growing field of transitional justice research.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim, in this qualitative semi- structured interview study, is to analyze whatmodalities a primary s chool teacher in a multicultural school context stresses when assessing her third grade students’ meaning making in their multimodaltext productions. The study has a socio-cultural perspect ive and the theoreticalpoints and analysis tools are based in the socio semiotic multimodal theories, and in the multiliteracies research. The results show that the teacher on theone hand mainly focuses o n the semiotic resources, image, color and writing, and to some ext ent squares, symbols and speech bubbles in student petitions, but on the other hand her statements points out the complexity of the task formulation gives rise. It proves to be problematic for the teacher to allow stu-dents to freely interpret and independently design their task where she at thesame time intends to make an overall assessment o f how the content is pre-sented. In practice, the teacher more often are focused on assessing abilities that show how thoroughly and carefully the students are documenting thandeveloping the knowledge. It points to the difficulty of reconciling assessment requirements in the context of a multimodal text production.

Kropp, blick och plats – konstruktioner av dans- och vokalundervisning
- 2019

In: Educare - vetenskapliga skrifter No 2 (2019): Aesthetics, learning and education - Part I. - 1653-1868. ; :2, s. 73-92
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By focusing on dance and on the voice as a music instrument, and applying a gender perspective, this article problematizes constructions of dance and music education – arenas where girls and women are in the majority. The result is based on the meta-analysis of a common issue found in four qualitative studies, three conducted at the aesthetic programs at upper-secondary schools in Sweden and one conducted in higher music education. The studies were produced through participatory observation, video-documented teaching situations, discussions with teachers about critical incidents, focus group discussions and group interviews. The meta-analysis shows that dance and vocal studies’ have similar subject constructions based on the traditions and conventions of the performing arts. Furthermore, the result points to the need to highlight how the body, the gaze, and the place are constructed in teaching and learning to clarify what norms and values surround the subjects. The article contributes to the discussion of how quality is understood in dance and music education and increases the knowledge of widening participation in these subjects.

Läroplansimplementering och korstryck i fritidshemmets arbete
- 2018
-
In: Educare. - Malmö : Malmo University Library. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; :2, s. 107-132
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- I svenska fritidshem pågår i en daglig verksamhet för cirka en halv miljon barn. Den präglas av en komplexitet omfattande exempelvis förändringar av styrdokument, brist på en accentuerad pedagogik och en förändrad profession. Mot denna bakgrund fokuserar denna studie på fritidspedagogers uppfattningar om läroplansimplementering och eventuell genomslagskraft i den fritidspedagogiska praktiken. Empirin består av individuella intervjuer, fokusgrupper och fältstudier. I studien flätas teorier om läroplansdidaktik och organisationsteori samman. Som analytiska begrepp används läroplansimplementering och korstryck. Resultatet visar att värden och uppgifter som pedagogerna betonar i relation till styrdokumenten är sociala färdigheter, professionell ambivalens samt fritidshemmets status. Strategier personalen använder är hög ledarskapsstruktur, reaktiv bekräftelse av läroplansskrivningar samt traditionella fritidshemsverksamheter. Begränsningar är fritidshemsverksamhetens låga status i jämförelse med traditionell skolverksamhet, brist på tid för implementering, ”skolifiering” samt oklarheter i styrdokumentens innehållsbeskrivningar. Därmed upplevs flera stressande korstryck i olika bemärkelser i arbetet, vilket försvårar realisering av läroplanens intentioner.

Lärares lek och barns arbete: Litteracitetsaktiviteter i förskoleklassen
- 2018
-
In: EDUCARE. - : Malmo University Library. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; 2:4, s. 69-91
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The study stems from practice at the inter-section between subject-oriented activities and play of the preschool class. The specific interest is children’s early literacy development, grounded in two different views: the bottom-up or phonics perspective, which emphasizes reading and writing primarily as a skill; and the top-down or whole language perspective emphasizing the communicative function and meaning of written language. The aim is to explore how literacy activities are performed in a preschool class. Specifically, the focus is on how the teachers and the children interact in a literary activity, where an educational television program is used as part of the teaching tools. Theoretically, the study is underpinned by a sociocultural perspective on learning and the method consists of video documentation. The analysis focuses on how the interaction is framed by institutionally based perspectives on both learning and play. The results show that play is introduced in the activities but becomes transformed into an interaction pattern akin to schooling, in which the phonics tradition takes precedence. The teachers solve the dilemma between play and work by framing the activity in a playful way, inspired by the television program, while the children’s work develops into accomplishing a task.

Multimodala bedömningspraktiker och lärares lärande
- 2018
-
In: Educare. - Malmö : Malmö universitet. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; , s. 43-68
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The article reports on a study where teachers in early primary school were presented to tools to approach texts and meaning-making from a multimodal perspective. The study aims to develop knowledge of enabling and constraining factors for the development of a multimodal assessment practice. To do so, we examine how teachers’ understanding of quality in students’ multimodal texts is manifested in assessments, and how this relates to available tools. The findings are discussed with the help of Bernstein's (1990; 2000) theoretical frame-work and focus on the conditions for teachers' work and learning. The study demonstrates teachers’ attention to multimodal text quality as ability to follow writing conventions, organize text and communicate content with several interacting resources. Available tools shape and broaden what is noticed. However, to give content to the meta-language further knowledge on the use of different semiotic resources is needed. The study hereby raises the importance of interdisciplinary perspective on multimodal assessment.
