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. ...

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 ...

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). 

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 ...
