Ungdomsarbeid i religiøse bevegelser er i dag veletablert og lite kontroversielt. I enkelte læstadianske grupperinger er bildet noe mer sammensatt. Et eget ungdomsarbeid er et nokså nytt fenomen som læstadianerne har hatt et ambivalent forhold til. I 1999 ble et initiativ fra en lokal forsamling om mer organisert virksomhet for barn og ungdom blankt avvist av predikantene i Den luthersk-læstadi ...

This paper reports from a collaborative creative writing project in teacher education that involved the use of wikis. A fortunate match between task and technology created much enthusiasm among student teachers, and – as evident from an analysis of their logs – a growing awareness of technology as something more than a tool neatly adapted to particular purposes. In interviews conducted at a later ...

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

Hoyle's most important contribution to astrophysics is the theory of nucleosynthesis, i.e. the idea that chemical elements such as carbon can form in stars on the basis of hydrogen and helium. Essentially here was his prediction that the carbon core has a state with a specific energy which is precisely ...

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 ...

Målsetningen ved å bruke rollespill er å skape mer reflekterte og analytiske holdninger hos lærerstudenter i forhold til ...
