Experimental Document Analysis—an analytical framework for document design
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)In this paper I will present an analytical framework for future documents, an experimental document analysis providing support for document design. The American economist, Herbert A. Simon outlined how to design an artificial object in his work "The Sciences of the Artificial" (1969, 1996) and described how this can be done in a systematic way, by a science of design. Simon describes the design ... -
Gifted Students’ Actualization of a Rich Task’s Mathematical Potential When Working in Small Groups
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-31)This article examines gifted students’ (ages 13–16) groupwork on a rich task in mathematics. This study was conducted in Norway, which has an inclusive education system that does not allow fixed-ability grouping. The purpose of this study was to better understand how to cultivate mathematical learning opportunities for gifted learners in inclusive education systems. The analysis was conducted ... -
The UN Security Council: legitimacy and organized hypocrisy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-31)The authority of the UN Security Council (UNSC), perhaps also its legitimacy, may have been brought into question by recent events. The war in Ukraine and the inferno in the Middle East challenges its role as preserver of international peace and security, and poor or highly selective responses to mass atrocities challenges its capacity to provide protection to populations when states fail. This ... -
The Queen of the Arctic: Louise Arner Boyd
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-18)Louise Boyd (1887–1972) was a female pioneer in Arctic research whose legacy includes the exploration of north-east Greenland. In this Perspective piece, we use a broad interdisciplinary approach to investigate her career as a photographer and expedition leader. When documenting glacial retreat during the 1930s, she was at the forefront of the development of glaciology as a research discipline. ... -
How (not) to look for meaning composition in the brain: A reassessment of current experimental paradigms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-10)When we use language, we draw on a finite stock of lexical and functional meanings and grammatical structures to assign meanings to expressions of arbitrary complexity. According to the Principle of Compositionality, the meanings of complex expressions are a function of constituent meanings and syntax, and are generated by the recursive application of one or more composition operations. Given ... -
Aspect processing across languages: A visual world eye-tracking study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-10)The study employed a combination of a picture selection task and Visual World eye-tracking to investigate the processing of grammatical aspect (perfective vs. imperfective) in three languages: Russian, Spanish and English. In order to probe into the cognitive representations triggered by the aspectual forms we contrasted visual representations of dierent temporal portions of telic events—a ... -
ConBaT+: Possibilities and challenges in preparing student teachers in English for plurilingual education
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-28)In this short article, I highlight some of the possibilities and challenges I have experienced as a teacher educator for English in employing ConBaT+, which is an approach that combines content-based teaching and plurilingual pedagogy. The approach aspires to promote interdisciplinary teaching, deep learning, and multilingualism as a resource by exploring a subject matter/content from different ... -
Policing, Undercover Policing and ‘Dirty Hands’: The Case of State Entrapment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024)Under a ‘dirty hands’ model of undercover policing, it inevitably involves situations where whatever the state agent does is morally problematic. Christopher Nathan argues against this model. Nathan’s criticism of the model is predicated on the contention that it entails the view, which he considers objectionable, that morally wrongful acts are central to undercover policing. We address this criticism, ... -
CLILiG als Chance für den Deutschunterricht in Norwegen: Wunschdenken oder realisierbares Konzept?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-31)Während CLIL mittlerweile einen festen Platz in der europäischen Bildungslandschaft hat, scheint sich in Norwegen die Umsetzung des Konzeptes auf vereinzelte Angebote in englischer Sprache zu begrenzen. Gleichzeitig ist die Förderung fächerübergreifenden CLIL-Unterrichts ein wichtiges Ziel der europäischen Sprachenpolitik. Unser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Rahmenbedingungen eine ... -
From data to theory: An emergent semantic classification based on the large-scale Russian constructicon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)The semantic classification of over 2,200 constructions in the Russian Con- structicon has emerged objectively from empirical analysis. The resulting semantic classification comports with and goes beyond frame semantics, revealing complex patterns of related constructions verified against corpus data and by a panel of native speakers. Our model of a constructicon can inform and complement existing ... -
Seeking a Strength-Based Approach to Assessment in a Multicultural Context: A Participator Approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-06)In this paper we present our reflections on collaborative tests in mathematics as a strength-based approach to assessment in upper secondary school. Our reflections are based on analysis of studentstudent interactions during collaborative test situations and post-test interviews with the students. The participating students are from a town in Northern Norway and the surrounding areas, where the ... -

Grepene som virker - Anerkjente læreres erfaringer fra tidlig innsats i matematikk
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-10-31)Tidlig innsats har hatt stort fokus i den pedagogiske debatten gjennom de seneste tiårene. Ønsket er å øke læringsutbyttet for elevene, redusere behovet for spesialundervisning og minske frafall i videregående skole. Målet for denne forskningsoppgaven var derfor å finne ut hva de lærerne som lykkes i arbeidet med tidlig innsats i begynneropplæringa i matematikk gjør, og vår problemstilling ble da ... -
Hvordan skiller sluttårsakene i Forsvaret seg fra de i sivile arbeidsplasser?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-11-30)Forsvaret har gjennom mange hundre år levert offiserer og ledere til det sivile arbeidsmarkedet. Internt i Forsvaret er det en opplevelse om at organisasjonen mister kompetent personell for tidlig. Dette har ført til at Forsvaret har satt fokus på å finne ut hvilke sluttårsaker militært personell har. Forsvarets forskningsinstitutt (FFI) har i de siste årene gjennomført årlige undersøkelser om ... -

(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2023-03)STEP will develop research- and experience-based knowledge on transition from Master Initial Teacher Education (M-ITE) into the teacher profession to influence on further development, implementation and institutionalization of the Norwegian national framework for induction and mentoring Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs). -
Theory at Sea: Some Reflections from the Gunwale
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Fishing was the main source of livelihood in the area where I grew up. In my village, as at other places along the Arctic coast of northern Norway, it had been for centuries carried out from a boat called nordlandsbåt (literally, ‘northland boat’). Though the oar and sail powered boat varied in size, from 4.5 to 14 m, the construction was essentially the same: an open and clinker-built keeled vessel ... -

(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)This paper presents study results regarding digital tools and work methods which early childhood pre-service teachers consider using in their future pedagogical activities with children. These results are part of wider international research regarding the digital competencies of the students-future early childhood teachers. The purpose of the presented results is to compare students' attitudes towards ... -
Early career teachers’ role in school development and professional learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-23)School improvement efforts rely on teachers’ capacity for professional development and learning. We investigate the kind of roles taken by early career teachers (ECTs) with a master’s degree from a research-based teacher education programme in relation to professional learning and school development in Norwegian schools after five years in the profession. The conceptual framework includes research ...
