    • Refugees' Encounters With Nordic Rural Areas - Darkness, Wind and "Hygge"! 

      Paulgaard, Gry; Herslund, Lise Byskov (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-15)
      The paper investigates how refugees settled in rural Norway and Denmark experience and interact with their new rural places of residence. Theoretically, the paper finds inspiration in “phenomenology of practices” (Simonsen, Prog. Hum. Geogr., 2012, 37, 10–26), which emphasizes the bodily and sensory experiences of daily life that spur feelings of, for example, “orientation” or “disorientation”. The ...

      Olsen, Rigmor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-05)
      FoU-veiledning er en veiledningssituasjon i norsk grunnskolelærerutdanning (GLU) som er viet liten oppmerksomhet i forskning. Formålet med studien er å få innsikt i samhandlingen der studenter, praksislærer og universitetslærer deltar i triadisk FoU-veiledning. Det er økende behov for triadisk samhandling i norsk lærerutdanning, og FoU-veiledning har potensial til å imøtekomme dette. Veiledningssamtaler ...

      Madsen, Siri Sollied; Thorvaldsen, Steinar; Sollied, Sissel (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021-03-04)
      The 21st century is quite different from the 20th in regard to the skills people need for work, citizenship, and self-actualisation. Proficiency in the 21st century differs primarily due to the emergence of sophisticated information and communication technologies. In this chapter, we will discuss whether teaching students are sufficiently prepared regarding the need for 21st century skills and ...

    • Bullying Victimization and Trauma 

      Idsoe, Thormod; Vaillancourt, T; Dyregrov, Atle; Hagen, Kristine Amlund; Ogden, Terje; Nærde, Ane (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-14)
      Bullying victimization and trauma research traditions operate quite separately. Hence, it is unclear from the literature whether bullying victimization should be considered as a form of interpersonal trauma. We review studies that connect bullying victimization with symptoms of PTSD, and in doing so, demonstrate that a conceptual understanding of the consequences of childhood bullying needs to be ...

      Kleemann, Carola (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-24)
      The coastal areas of Finnmark have deep Sámi roots. With the Norwegian assimilation policy—Norwegianization—the transition to the Norwegian language has been extensive here, placing the region outside Sámi core areas. Nevertheless, indigenous Sea Sámi identity still exists, and language vitalization and raising awareness of culture are shown in Sámi institution building. Within these frames, ...
    • Functional Outcomes of Children Identified Early in the Developmental Period as at Risk for ASD Utilizing the The Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa)
