Despite much research on feedback in teaching placement, there is a limited number of interaction studies. Moreover, how student teachers respond to critical mentor feedback remains quite unmapped. This article aims to explore this interactional aspect through the analysis of 12 post-observation sessions.<p> <p>Critical feedback sequences are analysed by face-work theory (Goffman, 1967). Findings ...

Learning science outdoors can enhance the understanding of theoretical scientific content taught in the classroom. However, learners are rarely afforded the opportunity to go outdoors to learn chemistry. This study investigates how problem-based learning outdoors can facilitate the understanding of basic chemistry in teacher education. A teaching unit was designed according to which student teachers ...

Formålet med artikkelen er å få innsikt i studenters oppfatninger av god og dårlig praksisveiledning i barnehagelærerutdanningen, noe som er avgjørende for å utvikle praksisveiledningens kvalitet. Studentperspektivet på praksisveiledningens kvalitet er lite fremtredende i nordisk forskning på barnehagelærerutdanning. Studien er basert på fire fokusgrupper, der studenter fra 1.-3. studieår i ...

In this chapter, we present a self-study project (Zeichner, 2007) about student-centered education for student teachers. The aim was to explore in what way student-centered education might increase students’ engagement and learning in adapted education. We used social-cultural theory and a dialogical framework (Dysthe, 1996) both as the basis for planning education and analysis of the data. We built ...

In this paper, weoperationalise ...

Students need help understanding what is happening during the trial and information on how they can protect themselves from strong emotions.

The article focuses on Teacher Time Outs (TTOs) in rehearsals and co-enactments as part of a practice-based approach to professional development, aiming to support teachers’ learning of ambitious mathematics teaching. Ambitious teaching requires teachers to be responsive to students’ ideas in-the-moment of instruction. This is complex and places enormous demands on the teacher. We examine how TTOs ...

Artikkelen diskuterer hvordan syn på flerspråklighet kan være diskursive vilkår for barnehagens samarbeid med foreldre til flerspråklige barn. Med utgangspunkt i neksusanalyse (Scollon og Scollon 2004) studerer jeg barnehagelærernes og foreldrenes syn på flerspråklighet ved å analysere deres språklige praksiser slik de kommer frem i intervjuer. Jeg undersøker hvilke syn på flerspråklighet barnehagelærere ...

<p>Vi mangler kunnskap om ledelsens rolle i å støtte innføring av systematisk etikkarbeid i kommunal helse- og omsorgstjeneste.
