Interculturalism, ethnicity, and multilingualism in upper secondary school: an analysis of social pedagogical identities during pedagogical work with students newly arrived in Sweden
- 2023
-
In: Intercultural Education. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 1467-5986 .- 1469-8439. ; 34:2, s. 180-198
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of the present study is to attain new knowledge about interculturalism, ethnicity, and multilingualism in the upper secondary school context in conjunction with pedagogical work with students who are newly arrived in the country. The empirical material for the studies was collected in the upper secondary context in Sweden and consists of documents, field notes written up from fieldwork, and qualitative ethnographic interviews. Analysis shows that a distance relationship is created and recreated in the interactive flow between the newly arrived students and the teachers–institution when ethnic social pedagogical monitoring and control are represented in writing by the institution (the upper secondary school) and verbally in the observed and recounted situations. Social pedagogical identities are produced and reproduced in the interactive dynamic, in which the newly arrived student is represented as a successful student, developing in the social pedagogical meaning. However, the newly arrived student also is represented as a humiliated, weary, excluded student who, through demonstration of moral dissolution, displays an ethnified victim student identity that is in opposition to the teachers and institution (upper secondary school). This represented humiliation, weariness, and exclusion of the newly arrived student constructs and reconstructs the image of a disadvantaged student. The effect is likely a negative impact on the aims of the upper secondary school to include and integrate newly arrived students into the school community and society at large.

Välfärdspolitik i praktiken : om perspektiv och metoder i forskning
- 2007
-
Editorial collection (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Förändringar av människors villkor i samhället kräver nya sätt att forska. I den här antologin presenteras olika redskap för kvalitativ forskning om välfärd. I antologin utgår forskarna från redan välkända traditioner inom samhällsvetenskaplig forskning, men argumenterar inte bara för etablerade forskningsmetoder och teoretiska perspektiv inom välfärdsforskningen utan också för nya. Antologin har arbetats fram inom ramen för Nordiska Sommaruniversitetet och därmed influerats av olika forskningstraditioner som förekommer vid universitet och högskolor i Norden. Nya forskningsmetoder där människornas egna utsagor och upplevelser tillvaratas kan tolkas utifrån redan etablerade teoretiska perspektiv som fenomenologi, hermeneutik och interaktionism. De forskningsansatser som presenteras möjliggör att människor även själva är med och formulerar bilden av sina livsvillkor. I antologin visas hur forskning med dessa ansatser kan ske tillsammans med människor i olika åldrar och livssituationer. I antologin visas också att komparativa ansatser kan öppna för nya insikter om olika dimensioner i välfärdsystemet som en kulturell praktik.

Learning as social practice: Beyond education as an individual enterprise
- 2021
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This book studies learning as a social enterprise, contextually situated, organized and assessed. It gives a broad theoretic grounding for an understanding of learning which goes beyond a common reductionist approach. The book discusses four related approaches to learning which share a social perspective: social semiotics and multimodality; a design-theoretic approach to learning; a socio-cultural perspective; and a perspective of mimetic learning.

Ledarskapsteorier
- 2022
-
In: Lärarens ledarskap - professionell pedagogisk praktik. - Malmö : Gleerups. - 9789151107172
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Ledarskap är mångfasetterat och går att betrakta från flera olika synvinklar. Hur man än väljer att se på ledarskap fångar man bara ett fåtal aspekter. Detta har medfört att ledarskapsforskning är ett av de mest omfattande forskningsområdena och dessutom ett av de mest omtalade. Enigheten kring vad ledarskap är, är ganska låg. Så vad är ledarskap egentligen? Svaret på den frågan kan beskrivas med någon av alla de ledarskapsteorier som finns. Ju fler ledarskapsteorier man tar del av, desto bättre förstår man fenomenets komplexitet. I detta kapitel presenteras ett urval av ledarskapsteorier med relevans för lärares undervisning. De representerar en rad olika synsätt för att du som läsare både ska kunna se bredden inom ledarskapsforskning och kunna fördjupa dig i de teorier som du finner användbara.

Nursing students' experiences of assessment by the Swedish National Clinical Final Examination
- 2013
-
In: Nurse Education Today. - : CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE. - 0260-6917 .- 1532-2793. ; 33:5, s. 536-540
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Swedish National Clinical Final Examination (NCFE) was established in 2007 in order to examine nursing students' clinical competence upon completing their Bachelor's degree in nursing. The NCFE constitutes an innovative method of examination, divided into two parts: a written and bedside test. The aim of this study was to evaluate nursing students' experiences of being assessed by means of the NCFE, in order to obtain information that could be used to improve the examination. A survey was conducted using a questionnaire with open-ended questions concerning the written and the bedside part of the NCFE. The answers from 577 third-year nursing students were analysed using content analysis. The nursing students regarded the NCFE as promoting further learning and as an important means of quality assurance. Its comprehensive nature was perceived to tie the education together and contributed to the students' awareness of their own clinical competence. The strengths of the NCFE especially highlighted were its high degree of objectivity and the fact that it took place in a natural setting. However, the students felt that the NCFE did not cover the entire nursing programme and that it caused stress. It thus appears to be important to reconsider the written theoretical part of the examination and to standardise the bedside part. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Nurse professional competence (NPC) assessed among newly graduated nurses in higher educational institutions in Europe
- 2019
-
In: Nordic Journal of Nursing Research Vol. 39(3) 159–167. - : SAGE Publications. ; 39:3, s. 159-167
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abstract Nursing education will play an important role in further advancing healthcare transformation in the future. The aim of this study was to assess and compare nursing education and self-reported professional competence among nursing students graduating with a bachelor’s degree from higher education institutions in Europe. Data were collected using the Nurse Professional Competence Scale including 88 items and eight competence areas. In total, 752 nursing students at 11 higher education institutions in Europe participated in the study, with a response rate of 88.7%. The highest measured mean scores were found in the competence areas ‘Value-based nursing care’ and ‘Medical technical care’ and the lowest were found in ‘Legislation in nursing and safety planning’ and ‘Education and supervision of staff and students’. Nursing students in central Europe scored significantly higher on seven out of the eight competence areas than nursing students in northern and southern Europe. In order to standardize and further develop nursing education in Europe, the assessment of nursing-related competences is of crucial importance.

Lessons Learned from Teaching Nursing Students about Equality, Equity, Human Rights, and Forced Migration through Roleplay in an Inclusive Classroom
- 2020
-
In: Sustainability. - Basel : MDPI. - 2071-1050. ; 12:17
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Inclusive education, sustainable development, and core nursing values all share common goals of promoting diversity, equity, social justice, and inclusion. However, prevailing norms of exclusion may shape health systems and healthcare workers’ attitudes and threaten inclusive patient care. Ongoing global conflicts and violence resulting in growing patient diversity in terms of ethnicity and migration status have led to questions regarding healthcare systems’ preparedness for inclusive nursing. Diversity-rich classrooms and collaborative learning methods, like role play, are inclusive strategies that may be useful in nursing education. The purpose of this paper is to present lessons learned from incorporating role play about forced migration in inclusive nursing classrooms. Various diversity-rich nursing student groups participated in a two-hour role play on forced migration facilitated by youth volunteers from the Swedish Red Cross Society between 2017 and 2019. This study is based on the amplified analysis of qualitative data materials, in the form of notes and summarized feedbacks, obtained from evaluating the role play as a teaching-learning activity. Three themes were identified, specifically, knowledge exchange, existential reflections, and empathy evoked. Findings suggest that working collaboratively in an inclusive environment may improve nursing students’ understanding of the vulnerabilities created by forced migration and to be better prepared for promoting social justice for this group in health care settings.

Care and Social Sustainability in Early Childhood Education : Transnational Perspectives
- 2022
-
In: Sustainability. - : MDPI AG. - 2071-1050. ; 14:9
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article explores how the notion of care is conceptualised and described in early childhood education policies across countries in the majority (Ethiopia, Kenya and Zambia) and minority (New Zealand and Sweden) world. A central focus is the relationship and balance between care and education. The authors examined whether there are trends and tendencies to strengthen or weaken the care/education component at the expense of the other. Grounded in local and national knowledge, the authors employed a cross-national collaborative inquiry approach and interrogated the notion of care while extrapolating its implications for the endeavour to design socially sustainable early childhood education. The results revealed that care has remained ingrained within policies in the minority world, while there is a tendency to view it as separate from education in the majority world. Although quantitative goals for early childhood education and care still dominate the majority world, the importance of care and sustainable development are present in all policy documents across the five nations. The authors concluded that strengthening these promising policy endeavours paves the way towards effective educare approaches, which lay the foundation for social sustainability in early childhood education.

Leadership and Pedagogical Skills in Computer Science Engineering by Combining a Degree in Engineering with a Degree in Education
- 2020
-
In: 2020 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE). - : IEEE. - 0190-5848. - 9781728189611 ; , s. 1-9
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this full paper on innovative practice, we describe and discuss findings from dual degree study programmes that combine a master's degree in engineering with a master's degree in education. This innovative study programme design has emerged in Sweden due to an alarming demand for more Upper Secondary School teachers in STEM subjects. Studies on alumni from these programmes indicate that the graduates are highly appreciated not only as teachers in schools, but also in business and industry, e.g. in roles as IT consultants and computer science engineers. Data indicate that the breadth of the combined education, and especially leadership and pedagogical skills, are important factors for these graduates' success as engineers.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- What do different research methods and approaches do in practice? The article seeks to discuss this point by drawing upon socio-material research approaches and empirical examples taken from the early stages of an extensive case study on an interdisciplinary project between two multidisciplinary fields of study, education and computer sciences. The article examines how divergent disciplinary hinterlands influence the enactments of research methods, and how the choice of research approach affects the types of knowledge and realities produced in the research process.

(Re)thinking teacher education in the Anthropocene. Perspectives from South Africa and Sweden
- 2022
-
In: Science and Technology Teacher Education in the Anthropocene. - New York : Routledge. - 9781032039947 ; , s. 55-73, s. 55-73
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study is a critical inquiry on how teacher education programmes respond to the contemporary Anthropocene era and associated challenges. Theoretically, the study is framed within critical inquiry framework. Data is generated through comparative analysis of four teacher education programmes in South Africa and Sweden: University of Gothenburg, Karlstad University, University of the Witwatersrand and University of Limpopo. The analysis is anchored around these four aspects: essence of the programme, views of knowledge, goals and learning outcomes and core competence emphasised. Although there are some varieties, findings indicate that across the four programmes, there is an emphasis on: mastery of content, subject specialisation, theoretical knowledge, teaching methods/didactical competence, assessment and leadership competence. While these knowledge and skill areas remain vital, we argue that there is an inevitable need to challenge and even demystify education at large, and teacher education in particular, in today's precarious Anthropocene era. Given impending catastrophe, we argue that it is high time for teacher education to pose and address these existential questions pertaining to Anthropocene and prepare teacher trainees accordingly.

The Nurse Professional Competence (NPC) Scale: A tool that can be used in national and international assessments of nursing education programmes.
- 2019
-
In: Nordic Journal of Nursing Research. - : SAGE Publications. - 2057-1585 .- 2057-1593. ; 39:3, s. 137-42
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abstract The quality of basic nursing bachelor programmes nationally and internationally must regularly be assessed to ensure that they fulfil requirements and are appropriate in relation to developments and changes in societies and healthcare systems. There is a need for instruments in helping to assess this. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the Nurse Professional Competence (NPC) Scale could serve as a tool to measure and detect possible differences between universities/university colleges regarding nursing students’ self-reported competence. Totally, 543 nursing students who had just completed their academic three-year nursing bachelor programmes at 10 universities/university colleges in Sweden participated in the study (response rate 71%). The students answered the NPC Scale with its 88 items constituting eight competence areas (CAs) and two overarching themes. The results from using the NPC Scale by the students were then compared between the 10 universities/university colleges. Significant mean score differences were found between the universities/university colleges on all CAs and on both themes. The highest mean score differences were found for the CAs ‘Medical and technical care’ and ‘Documentation and information technology’. The lowest mean score differences were found for the CAs ‘Value-based nursing care’ and ‘Leadership in and development of nursing’. It is concluded that the NPC Scale can serve as a useful tool in national and international assessments of nursing bachelor programmes.

Technology-Enhanced Learning of Human Trauma Biomechanics in an Interprofessional Student Context
- 2022
-
In: Teaching and Learning in Medicine. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1040-1334 .- 1532-8015. ; 34:2, s. 135-144
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Phenomenon This study aimed to investigate how students can develop their understanding of trauma biomechanics by means of technology-enhanced learning-an interactive visualization tool developed to enhance understanding of the biomechanics underlying an injury via dynamic imaging sequences. Approach: Students were invited to explore the content as a learning resource during an interprofessional clinical placement on an orthopedic ward. Thirty volunteer medical, nursing, and physiotherapy/occupational therapy students participated in 10 interprofessional groups of three participants. They were video recorded while interacting with learning software that was divided into five sections: Work Up, General Information, Biomechanical Case Study, Biomechanical Risk Assessment, and Treatment. Investigators probed students' learning experiences via four focus group discussions. A sociomaterial perspective was adopted, directing the analytical focus to how students' made use of talk, gestures, bodies, and material objects to understand the visualized phenomena. Findings: When connecting the visualization to a patient case, certain features of the technology stood out as important for promoting engagement and understanding trauma mechanisms. Decreased tempo, showing the directions and dynamics of trauma biomechanics in slow-motion, and color coding of the strain on the affected structures were especially important for evoking the emotional responses. The visualization tool also supported students' explorations of causal relationships between external forces and their biomedical effects. These features emphasize the sociomaterial relation between the design of the technology and the student activities. Insights: Dynamic visualization of biomechanical events has the potential to improve the understanding of injury mechanisms and specifically to identify anatomical structures at high risk of injury. Dynamic visualizations for educational purposes seem to promote possibilities for learners to contextualize visual representations relative to one's own body. Educational methods and practice need explicit attention and development in order to use the full potential of the visualization technology for learning for the health care professions.

Learning about environmental issues with the aid of cognitive artefacts
- 2008
-
In: SSKKII Publications. - 1653-8420.
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- When looking at the issue of learning about environmental problems many difficulties stem from their inherent abstractness which causes difficulties because humans have a problem understanding information that is not directly perceivable. We primarily create our lives on perceivable information and by imitating other people. This paper will examine the limitations of the human mind and it will discuss environmental problems that we can't grasp, but on the other hand it will discuss our cognitive capacities and the kind of tools we can use, and how these might be handled by educators. The tools discussed are: models and miniatures, metaphors and analogies, tracking, key questions, and (participatory) stories. The cognitive science approach is just one way of looking at the issue but it can be useful when dealing with educational challenges.

Nursing students' experiences of a pedagogical transition from campus learning to distance learning using digital tools.
- 2021
-
In: BMC nursing. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1472-6955. ; 20:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The use of distance education using digital tools in higher education has increased over the last decade, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aimed to describe and evaluate nursing students' experiences of the pedagogical transition from traditional campus based learning to distance learning using digital tools.The nursing course Symptom and signs of illness underwent a transition from campus based education to distance learning using digital tools because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This pedagogical transition in teaching was evaluated using both quantitative and qualitative data analysis. Focus group interviews (n=9) were analysed using qualitative content analysis to explore students' experiences of the pedagogical transition and to construct a web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire comprised 14 items, including two open-ended questions. The questionnaire was delivered to all course participants and responses were obtained from 96 of 132 students (73%). Questionnaire data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comments from the open-ended questions were used as quotes to highlight the quantitative data.The analysis of the focus group interviews extracted three main dimensions: didactic aspects of digital teaching, study environment, and students' own resources. Social interaction was an overall theme included in all three dimensions. Data from the questionnaire showed that a majority of students preferred campus based education and experienced deterioration in all investigated dimensions after the pedagogical transition. However, approximately one-third of the students appeared to prefer distance learning using digital tools.The main finding was that the pedagogical transition to distance education reduced the possibility for students' social interactions in their learning process. This negatively affected several aspects of their experience of distance learning using digital tools, such as reduced motivation. However, the heterogeneity in the responses suggested that a blended learning approach may offer pedagogical benefits while maintaining an advantageous level of social interaction.

- Abstract: Children’s early engagement in design of outdoor spaces can form the basis of laterattitudes and responsible action for sustainability. The present study is part of a participatoryaction research project in an urban multi-ethnic preschool in Sweden,involving children, parents, preschool staff and management with a focus on improvingthe preschool playground. The methodology involved children taking pictures ofthe outdoor space, informal participant observation by one researcher and conversationswith children and teachers. Analyses completed of selected fieldwork excerptsfocus on learning opportunities for children and adults, children’s participation,cooperation and leadership for sustainability. Deeper awareness and confidence, andpractical pedagogies for staff in preschools are required for effective sustainabilityeducation. A joint frame of reference on pedagogical practices and processes forreflection is needed within and across early childhood institutions. More continuoustraining of staff and preschool leadership would be of benefit. However, such commitmentis ultimately a matter of policy to invest in giving preschools the means todevelop and realise ambitions for environmental and sustainability education.

An industry experiment of academic performance and drop-out in gamified distance education
- 2021
-
In: CEUR Workshop Proceedings. - 1613-0073.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In an experimental study with 1780 adults who participated in distance education, it was shown that gamification did not have an effect on performance, drop-out rate and pass-rate compared to a control group. Although no effect was shown, descriptive survey data suggests that the students were positive towards having similar gamification in other courses and would likely recommend the course due to the design. While previous research on gamification in online education indicates that gamification can have a positive effect, gamification researchers highlight the importance of context and design for successful implementations. The present study supports the need for context considerations and psychological design in gamifying online education. Furthermore, the present study highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of engagement measures in gamification research and for more practical frameworks regarding the successful application of gamification in online education.

Coherent triads and successful inter-professional collaboration : narratives of professional actors in the Swedish child welfare system
- 2019
-
In: Nordic Social Work Research. - : Taylor & Francis. - 2156-857X .- 2156-8588. ; 9:3, s. 235-249
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this study is to analyze how and when the professional actors within the Swedish child welfare system portray successful cooperation and determine which discursive patterns are involved in the construction of this phenomenon. The empirical basis for this study is formed by 147 recorded interviews with institution-placed youths, their parents, and different occupational categories within the social services and the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care. Analytical findings with the following themes are presented: (1) coherent vision triad, (2) coherent rhetorically accepted triad, and (3) coherent exclusive triad. The personal interactive aspect of cooperation among professional actors in the care of children is important for successful collaboration. This aspect also appears to be significant for producing and reproducing joint collaboration identities. However, joint collaboration identities and the coherence triad can limit the sphere of cooperation to the entities involved in the care of youths and the juvenile or his/her parents are left out.

There are perceived expectations for bodies in physical education to be ‘healthy bodies’*for teachers to be ‘appropriate’ physical, fit, healthy and skilful ‘role models’ and for students to display a slim body that is equated with fitness and health. In teachers’ monitoring of students with the intention of regulating health behaviour, however, the surveillance of students’ bodies and associated assumptions about health practices are implicated in the (re)production of the ‘cult of the body’. In this paper, we consider issues of embodiment and power in a subject area where the visual and active body is central and we use data from Australian and Swedish schools to analyse the discourses of health and embodiment in physical education. In both Swedish and Australian physical education there were discourses related to a fit healthy body and an at risk healthy body. These discourses also acted through a range of techniques of power, particularly regulation and normalisation.

Feel good—be good : subject content and governing processes in physical education

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: In this paper a study of both subject content and governing processes in Swedish physical education is presented. The reason why an analysis of both content and processes is of special interest is that it makes it possible to understand the encounter between the institutional level and the practice of education.Purpose: The purpose of the paper is threefold: (1) to analyse the subject content in physical education through identifying discourses embedded in its practice; (2) to illustrate how the subject content is created/re-created in physical education practice through various governing processes; and (3) to discuss how governing processes also become content through thesocialization of students in terms of becoming a certain type of social citizen.Research design and data collection: The empirical material used is collected in connection with a national evaluation of physical education in Sweden, commissioned by the Swedish Government and the Swedish National Agency for Education. This paper uses local curriculum documents from 72 schools and 15 video-recorded physical education lessons from five schools. A starting point for the methodological framework is discourse theory and the governing perspective developed by Michel Foucault (1978/1991, 1980, 1982/2002). The governing perspective is used as a methodological tool, and we work with two overarching analysis themes: one oriented towards what pupils are governed, in terms of discourses embedded in physical education, and the other how the identified discourses are created/re-created in the practice of physical education. We also use the methodological framework as a tool to discuss how the governing processes also become content—a content of socialization.Findings: The results show that physical exertion and active participation are the main threads that run though the analysed material. In connection with physical exertion and active participation, pupils are also encouraged to cooperate with others and to compete. The content of socialization is primarily directed towards different components of willingness, for example a will to do one’s best and a will to try, where the pupils are expected to be participatory, take responsibility and govern their own actions in the direction of that which is most reasonable.Conclusions: A clear message is communicated in physical education in Sweden—be active and work up a sweat. This is also concerned with fostering good character, i.e. creating correct attitudes and approaches through physical activity—be an active and willing person. Physical education is consequently a place where both political volition and the creation of today’s citizens are staged. It is thus not only physical exertion—the physiological effects of exercise and involvement in sports and physical education—that is in the foreground of the activities we study in physical education. It is also about becoming a certain type of social citizen.

Uppdragsutbildning - Ett ömsesidigt lärande i samverkan
- 2022
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Uppdragsutbildning bedrivs vid många lärosäten som en lite undanskymd verksamhet vid sidan om grunduppdragen utbildning och forskning. Vid Högskolan för lärande och kommunikation, Jönköping University har uppdragsutbildning under många år fungerat som en sorts fönster ut mot de verksamheter vi utbildar våra studenter för. Lärarutbildare som håller i våra uppdragsutbildningar vittnar om möten med yrkesverksamma som stimulerar och leder till reflektioner som inte är möjliga med studenter som ännu saknar denna erfarenhet. Detta ger även en fördjupad förtrogenhet med det som våra studenter kommer möta efter sin utbildning hos oss. I den här boken delar kollegor vid högskolan med sig av de erfarenheter de fått i olika möten med yrkesverksamma. Detta är något vi tar med oss in i våra utbildningar och kan ses som en kunskapsproduktion i termer av högskolans beprövade erfarenhet och vetenskapliga grund.

Involving External Stakeholders in Project Courses
- 2018
-
In: ACM Transactions on Computing Education. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 1946-6226. ; 18:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Problem: The involvement of external stakeholders in capstone projects and project courses is desirable dueto its potential positive effects on the students. Capstone projects particularly profit from the inclusion ofan industrial partner to make the project relevant and help students acquire professional skills. In addition,an increasing push towards education that is aligned with industry and incorporates industrial partners canbe observed. However, the involvement of external stakeholders in teaching moments can create friction andcould, in the worst case, lead to frustration of all involved parties.Contribution: We developed a model that allows analysing the involvement of external stakeholders inuniversity courses both in a retrospective fashion, to gain insights from past course instances, and in aconstructive fashion, to plan the involvement of external stakeholders.Key Concepts: The conceptual model and the accompanying guideline guide the teachers in their analysisof stakeholder involvement. The model is comprised of several activities (define, execute, and evaluate thecollaboration). The guideline provides questions that the teachers should answer for each of these activities.In the constructive use, the model allows teachers to define an action plan based on an analysis of potentialstakeholders and the pedagogical objectives. In the retrospective use, the model allows teachers to identifyissues that appeared during the project and their underlying causes. Drawing from ideas of the reflectivepractitioner, the model contains an emphasis on reflection and interpretation of the observations made bythe teacher and other groups involved in the courses.Key Lessons: Applying the model retrospectively to a total of eight courses shows that it is possible toreveal hitherto implicit risks and assumptions and to gain a better insight into the interaction betweenexternal stakeholders and students. Our empirical data reveals seven recurring risk themes that categorisethe different risks appearing in the analysed courses. These themes can also be used to categorise mitigationstrategies to address these risks pro-actively. Additionally, aspects not related to external stakeholders, e.g.,about the interaction of the project with other courses in the study program, have been revealed. Theconstructive use of the model for one course has proved helpful in identifying action alternatives and finallydeciding to not include external stakeholders in the project due to the perceived cost-benefit-ratio.Implications to practice: Our evaluation shows that the model is viable and a useful tool that allowsteachers to reason about and plan the involvement of external stakeholders in a variety of course settings,and in particular in capstone projects.

Evaluation of integration of sustainable development in higher education in Sweden
- 2020
-
In: International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 1467-6370 .- 1758-6739. ; 21:4, s. 685-698
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose Since 2006, higher education institutions (HEIs) in Sweden, should according to the Higher Education Act, promote sustainable development (SD). In 2016, the Swedish Government asked the Swedish higher education authority to evaluate how this study is proceeding. The authority chose to focus on education. This paper aims to produce a report on this evaluation. Design/methodology/approach All 47 HEIs in Sweden were asked to write a self-evaluation report based on certain evaluation criteria. A panel was appointed consisting of academics and representatives for students and working life. The panel wrote an evaluation of each HEI, a report on general findings and recommendations, and gave an overall judgement of each HEI in two classes as follows: the HEI has well-developed processes for integration of SD in education or the HEI needs to develop their processes. Findings Overall, a mixed picture developed. Most HEIs could give examples of programmes or courses where SD was integrated. However, less than half of the HEIs had overarching goals for integration of SD in education or had a systematic follow-up of these goals. Even fewer worked specifically with pedagogy and didactics, teaching and learning methods and environments, sustainability competences or other characters of education for SD. Overall, only 12 out of 47 got a higher judgement. Originality/value This is a unique study in which all HEIs in a country are evaluated. This provides unique possibilities for identifying success factors and barriers. The importance of the leadership of the HEIs became clear.

The Conscious Use of Relationship - How Teachers Promote Student Health in Their Everyday Teaching
- 2023
-
In: European Conference on Educational Research, ECER.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- IntroductionThis study explores the role of the teacher in working with student health in high school. Teachers have been identified as crucial in promoting student health and wellbeing but it is traditionally not considered a teacher task. The article presents findings from an empirical study in which the views of the teachers are in focus.School is considered a suitable and vital arena for working with the health of children and young people. This can be done by implementing various programmes and initiatives lead by teachers or other professionals, or in a more informal way in the everyday school practice.Student health has been and still is a concern for the Student Health Services (SHS). It is however with the teacher that the students spend most of their time in school. A good relationship with the teacher, support from the teacher in meeting academic demands and classroom participation has proven beneficial to student health. There is also a well-documented reciprocal relationship between health and academic achievement. Overall, the same factors which promote learning, also promote health.In Sweden, where the study is set, student health work “shall be primarily preventive and promoting” (Education Act, 2010:800). Teachers are not explicitly tasked with health promotion but stipulated to cooperate with the SHS regarding student health. While the teacher is not presented as a central actor in the Education Act, other guiding documents highlight the teacher as important for student health. Teachers thus have a role in working with student health but what this role entails is not clear in the governing documents.The aim of the article is to contribute knowledge about how Swedish high school teachers describe their role(s) in working with student health.Brief Previous ResearchStudent health work has been empirically explored before but the role of the teacher in this work is a field in need of further empirical investigation. Much of the research regarding teachers’ involvement in student health work examines various programmes and initiatives implemented at the respective schools. The focus of this article is how teachers describe their role in the informal, everyday student health work, not in a programme or an initiative.Teacher involvement in health promotion has been criticized. Student mental health promotion can be regarded as an additional task to the existing abundance of teacher tasks. Expanding the role of the teacher is criticized as it can cause added stress and pressure. Lastly, teachers’ increased awareness of mental health problems among children and adolescents, can result in teachers starting to identify many behaviors and experiences previously deemed ordinary or understandable, as indicative of mental health problemsThis study contributes knowledge about how teachers describe their roles in student health promotion. This knowledge can be used to improve student health promotion further and contribute added understanding of the complex professional role of the teacher.Theoretical Points of DepartureThe study is based on theories of social constructivism in which social phenomena are understood and become active deeds by means of human interaction; people interpret, reinterpret, negotiate, and use various strategies to influence which interpretation takes precedence, thereby influencing how a phenomenon is understood.Methodology, Methods, Research Instruments or Sources UsedThe empirical data used in this article was collected in connection with a larger qualitative study conducted in two Swedish high schools. Ten teachers participated in the study, with teaching experience from between four and 22 years.The data was collected using semi-structured individual interviews where six open-ended questions guided the interviews. Follow-up questions were formulated in order to gain a deeper understanding of their answers. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim.The data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. After the interviews were read through several times, sections of the interviews pertaining to the aim of the article were selected. These sections were read again and meaning units, i.e. statements that uncovered something related to the aim, were extracted. The extracted meaning units were condensed and coded, resulting in 102 codes. These codes were then grouped into themes, in an iterative process involving, re-reading of the selected interview sections as well as the whole interviews. The groupings were based on the relationship and underlying meanings regarding differences and similarities.Conclusions, Expected Outcomes or FindingsThe teachers clearly recognize and describe their work with student health in the everyday teaching.Tentative results show one main theme and four themes describing the different internal roles of the teacher as health promotor. The main theme is Conscious use of relationship to facilitate health and learning. The themes are The role of a caring adult, The role of a coach, The role of a student centred pedagogical leader and The role of security creator. The purpose of all the internal roles mentioned above, is to create a professional relationship with the students which is health promoting.There are no colclusions yet, but it is clear that the teachers consider health promotion a teacher task, not in conflict with their professional role but rather integrated with it.References Burr, V.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss the findings from a study investigating the potential of an aesthetic approach to an inclusive pedagogy. Research questions: •How can we design aesthetic methods to assist high school students, who need scaffolding, socially as well as mentally, with engaging in group activities and individual learning processes? •How may aesthetic methods assist these specific high school pupils with deeper self-understanding and confidence according to their sense of shortcomings and failures? •How do these pupils experience and think of the aesthetic methods practiced in the study? Aesthetic learning activities in this study are designed to provide pupils with opportunities to express themselves, to get to know each other and learn something about themselves and to communicate in different ways. One of the methods used was photo elicitation, which is a visual method where you use photos and images to elicit views, storytelling, personal meanings and values. This method was combined with performing art and drama exercises. In the study I used a variety of data sources and analysis methods: Classroom observations, photo elicitation, interviews and aesthetic products of pupils. Findings indicate that these aesthetic methods help these specific high school students to participate on their own conditions and help them communicate. Furthermore their self-confidence will increase.

Learning About And Through Sustainability: Relational Pedagogy And Storyline As A Teaching Foundation
- 2022
-
In: International Journal of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences Studies, ISSN: 2582-1601. - 2582-1601. ; 7:4, s. 45-58:4, s. 45-58
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- : This article studies how environmental sustainability is integrated in a Storyline, which include learning about and through sustainability, conducted in two primary school classes, Grade 2 (children’s age 8- 9) in Sweden. It examines the significant aspects of the Storyline approach in relation to democratic values and young pupils’ sense of agency. In addition, it examines how pupils comprehend the concept of sustainability, and the Storyline approach itself. The empirical material consists of classroom observation and individual semistructured interviews with 20 pupils and 2 teachers. Theories of relational pedagogy are used to analyze the material. The results show that Storyline work depends on a skilled, compassionate and caring teacher, who creates an open climate in the classroom. It is argued that both a pedagogical theoretical foundation, such as relational pedagogy, and a deliberate teaching and learning approach, such as Storyline, are crucial when implementing issues of sustainability in primary school education.

In: Storyline i ungdomsskolen og i videregående opplæring En pluralistisk og kritisk tilnærming til bærekraft. - Oslo : Universitetsforlaget. - 9788215060941 ; , s. 178-195
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denne historiske storylinen tar for seg faktiske hendelser som skjedde under andre verdenskrig, fra krigsutbruddet da Nazi-Tyskland gikk inn i Polen høsten 1939, holocaust og til slutt frigjøringen 8. mai 1945. Storylinen lar elevene oppleve noe av det som skjedde ved at elevene gjør et dypdykk inn i andre verdenskrig. Gjennom hendelser, fagsløyfer, diskusjoner og praktiske og teoretiske oppgaver blir elevene drevet framover i historien og tilegner seg kunnskap på ulike måter. Hensikten med storylinen er å få oppleve hvordan det kan være å bli utsatt for diskriminering, undertrykkelse, mangel på ytringsfrihet, hat og umenneskelig behandling, og dermed utvikle dybdekunnskap om andre verdenskrigs brutalitet, stigmatisering og rasisme. Kapittelet er delt inn i 4 deler: Først beskrives storylinens forankring i fagfornyelsen (LK20) og planleggingsfasen. Deretter kommer etablering av storylinens tema og rollefigurer. Hendelsene er skrevet inn som episoder som utgjør hovedlinjene i denne storylinen. Avslutningsvis ønsker vi å fremme noen pedagogiske refleksjoner ved arbeid med kontroversielle temaer i skolen.

Lärande och lärandeteorier - Om den intentionella människan
- 2016
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Mänskligt lärande är ett komplext fenomen. Det påverkas av såväl mentala/individrelaterade faktorer som interaktiva/sociala faktorer. Den här boken försöker integrera dessa olika perspektiv på lärande som annars brukar ställas emot varandra. Det är berättelsen om människan som en social och kognitiv varelse. I boken drivs tesen om den intentionella lärande människan. Lärande och lärandeteorier presenterar lärandeteorier från olika perspektiv och historiska perioder. Några viktiga kärnbegrepp i boken är: intentioner, social kognition, motivation, minne och kunskap, kommunikation, återkoppling, grupper och organisationer samt kulturella faktorer. Men den diskuterar även mindre vanliga teman såsom transfer, kreativitet, personlighetsdrag, tillit, nätverk och kunskapsdelande.

Strategies for inclusion and equality - 'norm-critical' sex education in Sweden
- 2020
-
In: Sex Education : Sexuality, Society and Learning. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1468-1811 .- 1472-0825. ; 20:2, s. 154-169
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article examines the tactical (counter) politics of inclusive and 'norm-critical' approaches in Swedish sex education, focusing on the enactment of this critical agenda in sex education practices and how teachers interpret and negotiate the possibilities and pitfalls of this kind of work. The analysis draws on participant observation in sex education practices and in-service teacher training, as well as interviews with educators. Three recurrent strategies lie at the centre of the analysis: the sensitive use of language to achieve inclusion; the organisation and incorporation of 'sensitive' content to resist stigmatisation; and the use of different modalities to produce a specific knowledge order. The analysis shows how these strategies are grounded in norm-critical ideals, which become partly inflicted with tensions and discomforts when acted out in practice. The analysis further shows how an inclusive and norm-critical agenda runs the risk of becoming static, in the sense of providing students with the results of critique rather than engaging them in it.

Teachers’ Views on the Use of Empathic Robotic Tutors in the Classroom
- 2014
-
In: 23rd IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, Edinburgh, Scotland. - : IEEE.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper, we describe the results of an interview study conducted across several European countries on teachers' views on the use of empathic robotic tutors in the classroom. The main goals of the study were to elicit teachers' thoughts on the integration of the robotic tutors in the daily school practice, understanding the main roles that these robots could play and gather teachers' main concerns about this type of technology. Teachers' concerns were much related to the fairness of access to the technology, robustness of the robot in students' hands and disruption of other classroom activities. They saw a role for the tutor in acting as an engaging tool for all, preferably in groups, and gathering information about students' learning progress without taking over the teachers' responsibility for the actual assessment. The implications of these results are discussed in relation to teacher acceptance of ubiquitous technologies in general and robots in particular.

Newly arrived parents and collaboration in Swedish school context: an interactionally and ethnomethodologically inspired analysis
- 2021
-
In: Education. - Mobile, Alabama, USA : Project Innovation. - 0013-1172. ; 141:3, s. 127-144
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to analyse 1) newly arrived parents’ accounts of collaboration in Swedish school context and 2) depicted triads and alliance constellations presented during interviews with recently arrived parents regarding the collaboration in Swedish school context. The study’s analysis is based on secondary empirical material (empirical sequences from previously published qualitative analyses). Its analytical discoveries are presented as three themes: (1) collaboration identity through distancing, (2) invitation to collaboration alliance, and (3) home- and school-focused collaboration. Analysis shows that the parents dramatise the need for collaboration between teachers and parents and construct and reconstruct collaborative alliances and triads in their narratives. Members who appear in these interactions are parents, children, and teachers. In the parents’ narratives about the collaboration, a picture emerges of an invitation to teachers to form an alliance partnership. The alliance partnership seems to strengthen stability in the triad with the objective of creating a successful collaboration in the children’s best interests and to draw attention to the importance of parents’ participation in collaboration in the school context. Successful collaboration in the school context seems to be a basic prerequisite for the successful involvement and integration of parents from different ethnic backgrounds into general society.

Lärarens ledarskap - professionell pedagogisk praktik
- 2022
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Att läraren är en ledare, det är nog alla överens om. Men vad handlar ledarskapet egentligen om? Den här boken tar sig an det komplexa ledarskapet och dess praktik genom att belysa lärarens ledarskap ur en rad olika aspekter. Lärarens ledarskap är en förutsättning för att undervisningen ska leda till lärande. I undervisningssituationen ska läraren på samma gång balansera undervisning, relationer och ordningsfrågor. Detta förutsätter att den enskilde läraren har didaktisk och relationell kompetens samt kompetens att leda grupper. Samtidigt behöver läraren kunna avläsa och förstå de system som skolan omfattar, och vilka faktorer utanför lärarens dagliga verksamhet som kommer att påverka möjligheterna för läraren att leda och att utveckla sitt ledarskap. I den här boken får läraren redskap för att utveckla ett gott ledarskap genom praktiknära exempel, kopplade till forskning inom varje område. I bokens olika delar speglas det komplexa samspelet mellan elever, lärare och den kontext de befinner sig i samt hur läraren kan navigera sitt ledarskap för att åstadkomma ett hållbart lärande hos eleverna. I ett antal innehållsrika forskningsbaserade kapitel med praktiknära resonemang belyser bokens författare flera olika aspekter av lärarens pedagogiska ledarskap. Här kan läsaren ta del av kapitel som bland annat behandlar ledarskapsteorier, relationellt klassrumsledarskap, konflikthantering, pedagogiskt ledarskap online och lärares ledarskap i en mångkulturell skola.

Konsten att hålla ihop : Om lärande och organisering i rockband
- 2020
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Rock bands are foundational for modern day music life. These small groups provide well-being and self-fulfillment to its members, as well as fuel for the cultural life and the increasingly highlighted creative industries. Rock bands, however, are particularly difficult to organize. Bands face a range of challenges in keeping together and developing as a group.The aim of this doctoral thesis is to develop knowledge on rock band formation and development over time. Based in the discipline of education, the thesis mainly contributes to the fields of organization studies, social theories of learning, and music and cultural life research.The thesis uses the theory of situated learning to explore rock band formation and development. The methodology is qualitative and ethnographic, and the research design builds on three studies: an interview study with three rock bands and two case studies. All five bands are Swedish and have found different degrees of success and popularity.The thesis investigates band activities and courses of events, band members’ identities, and challenges faced. The findings indicate that a rock band’s activities shift between a production mode – i.e. highly productive times associated with public performances, record releases and marketing, and behind the scenes processes of creating, recording and planning – and a contrasting less active hibernation mode without bigger public projects or goals. The amount of time spent in production mode depends on the band’s degree of “membership” in the music industry. Moreover, a band member forms and actualizes identities of colleague, creator, entrepreneur, friend, hobbyist and professional, in differing combinations, situations and modes. Furthermore, the members’ most significant challenges relate to identity dilemmas.Based on these findings, the thesis formulates a model for a rock band’s learning trajectory and argues that a band may develop as it approaches, or becomes a more central member in, the music industry. This development demands increased public success and organizational ability: the band members’ ability to form business-oriented practices, to participate uniformly in an overarching community of practice, and to be flexible as they must identify with, and ascribe meaning to, a variety of activities in different and sometimes contradictory ways.The thesis concludes that the challenges of persistence as a rock band or similar group relates chiefly to group member difficulties in identifying with different activities and situations that are necessary to sustain and develop as a collective. Eventually, individual members tend to handle the experience of uncertainty and ambivalence by holding on to one singular identity, which may prevent group development, foster intra- and interpersonal tensions, and ultimately can lead to significant conflicts and/or a band’s breakup.

Teachers' involvement in children's mathematizing - beyond dichotomization between play and teaching
- 2018

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The focus of this article is on mathematics teaching in a play-based and goal-oriented practice, such as preschool, and on how different lines of actions may impact children's learning opportunities. Video recordings of authentic play activities involving children and nine teachers from different preschools were analyzed qualitatively to answer the following research questions: (1) What lines of action do teachers use when they teach mathematics in play? and (2) What implications may different ways of teaching have for children's learning opportunities? The analysis revealed four different categories: confirming direction of interest; providing strategies; situating known concepts; and challenging concept meaning. As these differ regarding both the mathematics content focused on and the kind of knowledge emphasized, they have implications for children's learning opportunities.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The purpose of this study is to present new knowledge about the oral representations of the health promotion, prevention, and remediation efforts of professional actors working with young people who use alcohol and narcotics. The narrative empirical material is based on 36 interviews with professionals working with this population of young people within the context of upper-secondary school activities and outpatient treatment units in Sweden. In their oral representations, professional actors depict themselves as having an interactive advantage in relation to the verbal category of “young people who use alcohol and narcotics”. These verbal patterns seem to cement the professional actor as a superior who sets the agenda for placing these young people within a prevailing normative order. The analysis indicates that an inclusive approach by professionals is crucial to achieving several important aims. An inclusive approach also imposes demands, however, on how upper-secondary schools and outpatient treatment units collaborate with each other in this work with young people. This approach also plays a role in determining the support and room for manoeuvring that professional actors have relative to normatively right and deviant actions and to laws and policies that to some extent govern this practical work. Good relationships between young people and professional actors constitute an important dimension in which the social pedagogical recognition is based on caring, trust, and mutual interactions. It is crucial for professionals to take an approach of inclusion of young people (students) in the school and treatment contexts, with attention to their ability to develop and change in a social pedagogical and educational sense.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This survey, "Life and Health—Young People 2005," included all 15/16-year-old adolescents in mainstream schools in the county of Örebro, Sweden. Just students with a slight/mild or moderate hearing loss were included. There were 56 (1.9%) "hard-of-hearing (HH) students with multiple disabilities," 93 (3.1%) students who were "just HH," 282 (9.7%) students with some "other disability than HH," and 2,488 (85.2%) students with "no disability." "HH with multiple disabilities" reported considerably higher scores for mental symptoms, substance use, and school problems than the "no disability" group. Those with "just HH" and those with "other disability than HH" had more mental symptoms and school problems than the "no disability" group but no significant differences in substance use. In conclusion, the combination of a hearing loss and some other disability strongly increases the risk for mental symptoms, school problems, and substance use. This group, thus, is an important target for preventive measures.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article reports on a participatory design project conducted with K-12 schools in the US and Sweden to create an international collaboration on Marine Biology using video production as a tool for learning and representation. The aim of the project was to explore teachers' challenges and strategies due to digitalization and new curricular demands through a lens of sociocultural perspectives. Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) was used to understand and support participating teachers' development as well as the design process. Using the CHAT model as a design tool enabled teachers to grasp a complex learning environment and frame contradictions and tensions in the activity. Challenges in terms of curricular demands and media literacy could be identified and addressed as part of interacting activity systems, and the process enabled expansion of knowledge and ideas for both design and future work practice.
