Students should learn about the Sami people’s traditional knowledge and approach to nature in science education. Science teachers, therefore, must become proficient in Sami culture and traditions. Sami traditional practitioners have expertise, and it is important to bring out their voices. In this case study, six reindeer owners are interviewed, and the results show that the siida welcomes student ...

Background Impulsivity is a transdiagnostic feature linked to severe clinical expression and a potential target for psychopharmacological strategies. Biological underpinnings are largely unknown, but involvement of immune dysregulation has been indicated, and the efects of psychopharmacological agents vary. We investigated if impul‑ sivity was associated with circulating immune marker levels and ...

This paper describes three examples of Sámi mathematics. These examples, which are associated with different cultural contexts, show similarities to what Western mathematics calls 'combinatorics’. All examples are cultural practices that show descriptive use of mathematical knowledge. These are not mathematical problems and thus there is no need to find an exact number of possibilities. We describe ...

Formålet med denne masteroppgaven var å forhøre meg med lærere på 5-10.trinn i kvensk kjerneområde om hvilke meninger de hadde rundt det å inkludere kvensk kulturelt innhold i matematikkundervisningen. Jeg ønsket å få innsikt i hvilke fordeler og utfordringer dette kunne medføre, og dermed utformet jeg problemstillingen: - Hva mener lærere i kvenske kjerneområder om å inkludere kvensk ...

I denne masteroppgaven undersøkes sammenhenger mellom uteskole som læringsarena og det psykososiale miljøet i skolen. Temaene er valgt med bakgrunn i aktualiteten av uteskole og psykisk helse, som del av det psykososiale miljøet. I tillegg var en interesse for å oppnå økt forståelse for temaene også innvirkende.

As part of a larger participatory research project, we examine storylines about mathematics education and students from minoritised cultures and/or languages in Norwegian news media. We identify some of the positionings construed in this public discourse to consider what kinds of positionings are made available in relationship to education and mathematics education. In particular, we focus on one ...

Teachers at Guovdageaidnu lower secondary school cooperated with researchers in translating Bishop’s mathematical activities from English into North Sámi. In this paper, we conduct a investigation of how the Sámi translations of mathematical activities work, and we explore whether the suggested verbs are sufficient. The context in our study is a teaching unit in lávvu—a traditional Sámi dwelling—where ...
