Skolen er, og har vært, en viktig premissgiver for forestillingene om vår nasjonale identitet. Samfunnsfaget har som en særlig oppgave å fortelle oss hvem nordmenn er og hva Norge er. Denne boka problematiserer regionale og etniske aspekter ved den norske nasjonale identiteten slik disse framstår i et utvalg lærebøker i norgeshistorie. – Beskrives regionen Nord-Norge som en integrert del av ...

<p>Many teachers like to take their classes on field trips. So why do we usually confine chemistry lessons to the laboratory or classroom? The benefits of outdoor teaching are well documented (Malone & Waite, 2016; Dillon et al., 2006), and include both cognitive and skills-based aspects. It’s also well known that, for most students, solving puzzles is more exciting than reading textbooks or listening ...

Bearbeiding av data fra praktiske forsøk og feltkurs har en sentral plass i naturfagundervisninga i lærerutdanninga. Regneark er her et naturlig hjelpemiddel; spesielt ved bearbeiding av store datamengder. I min undervisning på Naturfag for ungdomstrinnet ved Universitetet i Tromsø erfarer jeg at de fleste studentene trenger opplæring for å kunne bruke regneark på en hensiktsmessig måte. I ...

The empirical material in this study is derived from the implementation of the national project “Ungdomstrinn i utvikling” (UiU). Through UiU, we have worked with school development in six municipalities, where we have facilitated future stories or scenarios in the ...

In this article we develop some arguments from a research project where the researchers were also participants in the making of a multiplayer online game. The “Siida” project emerged as a challenge to the static and monolithic vision of Indigenous Saami culture and history. It seeks to create an arena for learning founded on new approaches to research-based historical pedagogy. This involvement ...

The results of the individual semistructured interviews and a thematic analysis revealed a weak connection between research-based ...

Dataene blesamlet inn som en del av et større prosjekt om flerspråklige ungdommerog familier, og i denne artikkelen analyserer jeg ...

H. C. Andersen’s ‘The Snow Queen’ (1844) and its self-professed adaptation Frozen (2013) both maintain a combined focus on origins and development. I approach the two texts as narratives that explain aspects of human life by showing how they came into being – as accounts that, although not primarily historical, are still bound up with genealogical ways of thinking: how, and from what beginnings, do ...

The public and political debate about Islam and Muslims in Norway have revolved around issues like topics of integration and “radicalisation” and the compatibility of Islam with democracy and “Western values”. Clothing related to Muslims – i.e. Muslim women – such as hijab, niqab, and burqa are in the public and political debate often referred to as examples that Islam is not compatible with “Norwegian” ...
