      The aim of this study was to investigate how the use of Sámi local culture and history can promote pupils’ democratic education. Teachers in the local community were interviewed because they provided information about how place and region create good opportunities for the use of local history as well as history of the Sámi’s with the aim of producing democratic citizens. Analyses of the teachers’ ...
    • Using pathologies as starting points for inquiry-based mathematics education: The case of the palindrome 

      Roksvold, Jan Nyquist; Haavold, Per Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01)
      Inquiry-based mathematics education (IBME) is an increasingly important ingredient of the mathematics education in the Nordic countries. The central principle of IBME is that the students are to work in ways similar to how professional mathematicians work. In this qualitative case study, we investigate whether mathematical pathologies induce students to work like mathematicians, and thus if ...
    • Using statistical methods to model the fine-tuning of molecular machines and systems 

      Thorvaldsen, Steinar; Hössjer, Ola (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-06-04)
      Fine-tuning has received much attention in physics, and it states that the fundamental constants of physics are finely tuned to precise values for a rich chemistry and life permittance. It has not yet been applied in a broad manner to molecular biology. However, in this paper we argue that biological systems present fine-tuning at different levels, e.g. functional proteins, complex biochemical ...
    • Using the Schoolyard as a Setting for Learning Chemistry: A Sociocultural Analysis of Pre-service Teachers’ Talk about Redox Chemistry 

      Jegstad, Kirsti Marie; Höper, Jan; Remmen, Kari Beate (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-11)
      The schoolyard as a setting for teaching and learning is rarely the focus of chemistry education. Therefore, a chemistry unit combining activities in the classroom and the schoolyard was designed to support pre-service teachers’ (PSTs) learning of redox chemistry. This study was conducted to investigate the PSTs’ talk about redox chemistry as they identified, photographed, and explained phenomena ...

    • Utdanningspolitiske føringer for et psykososialt miljø 

      Olsen, Mirjam Harkestad (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)
      Gjennom flere år har det blitt rettet et stadig sterkere fokus mot elevers psykososiale miljø. Det meldes i media om økende skolepress, flere med psykiske helseproblemer, økende digital mobbing med videre. I august 2017 ble endringer i opplæringsloven kapittel 9A satt i verk, etter et omfattende utredningsarbeid gjennomført av Djupedalutvalget (NOU 2015: 2).
    • Utvikling av akademisk identitet i et aksjonsorientert praksisfellesskap. 

      Furu, Eli Moksnes; Stjernstrøm, Else (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-06-06)
      In this chapter we explore how a group of novice academic staff developed an academic identity in interaction within and across a Nordic and an international network. We also discuss the signification of working together for professional development as we use Wenger’s notion of “communities of practice” as an analytical frame. A community of practice presupposes an “open communicative space” where ...

    • Valuable unintended learning outcomes when practicum for student teachers in kindergartens is carried out online 

      Madsen, Siri Sollied; Habbestad, Helge; Borch, Iris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-10)
      This article presents a study of an educational experiment conducted at the early childhood education programme at UiT, the Arctic University of Norway. As COVID-19 made social distancing an issue, the traditional practicum in kindergartens was moved to online platforms. Constructive alignment was used as an analytical framework to investigate the possibilities and limitations of student ...

    • Veiledning som lederstøtte i skoleutvikling: den utfordrende oppstarten 

      Abrahamsen, Lena; Aas, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-02)
      Skoleledelse har betydning for skoleutvikling og påvirker dermed elevenes læring indirekte. Av den grunn trenger skolen ledere som har kunnskap om å lede endrings- og utviklingsarbeid, og en slik kompetanse kan utvikles gjennom veiledning eller coaching. I denne studien undersøker vi hva som skjer i en middels stor kommune i Norge når skoleeieren etablerer og iverksetter en veilederordning for å ...
    • Vikings and iPads: how iPads may influence historical thinking in the classroom 

      Pedersen, Helge Christian; Johanson, Lisbeth Bergum (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-28)
      The last few years have seen the introduction of technology in Norwegian classrooms without much research data on how this affects learning. This article discusses whether the introduction of iPads in a Norwegian classroom influences how history is taught and what the pupils learn. One could imagine that when iPads with its learning applications and unlimited access to the internet replaces textbooks ...
    • Virtual and augmented reality in social skills interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder: A scoping review 

      Dechsling, Anders; Orm, Stian; Kalandadze, Tamara; Sütterlin, Stefan; Øien, Roald A; Shic, Frederick; Nordahl-Hansen, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-16)
      In the last decade, there has been an increase in publications on technology-based interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Virtual reality based assessments and intervention tools are promising and have shown to be acceptable amongst individuals with ASD. This scoping review reports on 49 studies utilizing virtual reality and augmented reality technology in social skills interventions for ...
    • Virtual reality and naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder 

      Dechsling, Anders; Shic, Frederick; Zhang, Dajie; Marschik, Peter B.; Esposito, Gianluca; Orm, Stian; Sütterlin, Stefan; Kalandadze, Tamara; Øien, Roald A; Nordahl-Hansen, Anders Johan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-03)
      <p>Background: Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI) have been evaluated as the most promising interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder. In recent years, a growing body of literature suggests that technological advancements such as Virtual Reality (VR) are promising intervention tools. However, to the best of our knowledge no studies have combined evidence-based ...
    • Visjoner og virkelighet i samarbeidet mellom hjem og skole i en minoritetsspråklig kontekst 

      Kjølaas, Jorun Høier (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2005)
      Dette paperet er et resultat av et mindre prosjekt oppmerksomheten er rettet mot tospråklige barns lesekompetanse på minoritetsspråket, som også er elevenes opplæringsspråk. Resultatet fra fase I viser at elevene var gode tekniske lesere, men hadde en svakere forståelse ved lesing av tekster på minoritetsspråket enn på majoritetsspråket. Dette har ført til fase II der intensjonen er felles innsats ...
    • A visual methods approach for researching children’s perspectives: capturing the dialectic and visual reflexivity in a cross-national study of father-child interactions 

      Chawla-Duggan, Rita; Konantambigi, Rajani; Mei Seung Lam, Michelle; Sollied, Sissel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-18)
      The paper presents a visual methods approach from a cross national methodological project that used digital visual technologies to examine young children's perspectives in father-child interactions. The approach combines capturing the dialectic with visual reflexivity. The notion of ‘capturing the dialectic’ specifically by analysing conflict to gather the child’s intention as their perspective, is ...

      Myrstad, Anne; Kleemann, Carola (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-08)
      The authors explore how multiple viewpoints can challenge our habitualised way of viewing and expand the area of thinking about children’s outdoor learning. They draw on micro-fieldwork in a Sámi kindergarten in Arctic Norway. There, learning through participation and practical experiences is a traditional strategy in child rearing. This method of learning is currently being transformed in Sámi ...
