Our paper aims to find out more about the connections between science teachers’ orientation toward the textbook and the enabling of inquiry-based teaching. It will be important to map this connection better in improving how to facilitate inquiry-based education. The textbook has a strong position in the Norwegian school ... -
The Impact of Cyberbullying and Cyber Harassment on Academic Achievement
(Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2016)Cyberbullying is commonly measured by either an inventory of manifest variables (i.e. cyber harassment) or the use of global items covering cyberbullying in general.

Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to build recursive models including variables of academic achievement, traditional and cyber ... -

Intelligent design and natural theology
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-15)Natural Theology is an attempt to provide arguments for the existence of God based on reason and ordinary experience of nature. It became quite popular with both orthodox Christians and Deists between about 1650 and 1850, inspiring much of the scientific fieldwork done during that period. However, Darwin’s theory of evolution brought about a temporary decline of this Christian apologetic ... -
Intelligent Design in Historical Perspective
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2007)The advocates of intelligent design hold that important properties or aspects of nature are intended i.e., that they are the results of intelligent planning and design. In other words, they maintain that some features of cosmos and nature (i.e., the physical universe and the living things) are caused by nonhuman intelligence. Nothing in particular is said about the nature of the designer. ... -
The interaction between teacher educators and their students on the use of educational technology: Similarities and differences of attitudes, skills, and practice across a generational change

Some are focusing on the positive aspects of using digital technology, while others are critical and position it as an enemy of early childhood practice. It has been argued that digital technology is not appropriate for young children’s cognitive, physical, social ... -
Kepler, Galileo, Newton and the Constructive Ideas of Modern Science
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2002)Nowadays science and Christianity are mainly seen as two completely separate contributions to our daily life and culture. In this paper I intend to argue that historically and conceptually, science and Christianity should in fact be seen as very closely related entities. The new kind of science, which was introduced about 400 yeas ago, was very much inspired by the Christian world-view which ... -

Lars Levi Læstadius: En visuell fortelling. Historiske fragmenter fra Karesuando og Pajala
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)A visual narrative, or visual storytelling, is a story told primarily through the use of visual media. The story may be told using still photography, illustration, or video. The visual narrative has also been of interest to the academic community and educators that have sought to understand the impact and power of image and narrative in individuals and societies. In this paper, we tell the story of ... -

Molecular Characterization of Cold Adaptation of Membrane Proteins in the Vibrionaceae Core-Genome
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Cold-adaptation strategies have been studied in multiple psychrophilic organisms, especially for psychrophilic enzymes. Decreased enzyme activity caused by low temperatures as well as a higher viscosity of the aqueous environment require certain adaptations to the metabolic machinery of the cell. In addition to this, low temperature has deleterious effects on the lipid bilayer of bacterial membranes ... -
Muslingen som er dyktig i matematikk. Om albueskjellet Patella vulgata
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012-09)Dyr som har skelettet udenpå (exoskelet) i form af kitin eller kalkskaller, må bygge en skal som passer til det voksne individ eller udskifte skallen i takt med væksten. Der er også en tredje mulighed. Skallen kan have en facon som kan udvides løbende ved at dyret bygger materiale på kanten af skallen. Sneglen som forfatteren beskriver, udvider sit hus på denne måde. Den løser også andre problemer. ...
