(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)This study examines the correlation between current reading research and pupils’ perception of their own reading habits. Our thesis questions are: To what extent do current research and mapping align with lower secondary pupils’ perceptions of their reading habits? How can we use our findings to aid future reading instruction in English? Using a convergent mixed methods design our thesis questions ... -
Kasusstudie av matematikklærer i utforskende undervisning
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)Dette masterprosjektet omhandler en kasusstudie av én lærer på 10. trinn, hvor hensikten har vært å se på hvordan lærer planlegger og gjennomfører undervisning med bruk av en utforskende tilnærming. Årsaken til at dette ble undersøkt er et økende engasjement rundt undervisningsformen etter at den ble innført i den nye læreplanen. Det finnes en del forskning på gjennomføringen av undervisningen, men ... -
Lesing i en digital tidsalder: En undersøkelse av forholdet mellom leseutholdenhet og skjermtid hos elever på 10. trinn
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)Langlesing i vår digitale tidsalder er en ferdighet under press, men det foreligger relativt lite forskning på området. Videre vet vi at norsk ungdom bruker mye tid foran skjerm, og parallelt med digitaliseringen får norske elever mer negative holdninger til lesing. Jeg har i denne masteroppgaven derfor undersøkt mulige sammenhenger mellom leseutholdenhet og skjermtid på mobiltelefonen hos elever ... -
Motivasjon i motstand : En studie av den komplekse skjønnlitteraturens vilkår i norskundervisningen på mellomtrinnet
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)Denne studien har til hensikt å belyse vilkårene til den komplekse skjønnlitteraturen i norskundervisningen på mellomtrinnet. I denne undersøkelsen har jeg tilnærmet meg dette fenomenet ved hjelp av tre ulike metoder. Den første delen av undersøkelsen innebærer en læreplananalyse, der jeg har undersøkt dens legitimering av kompleks skjønnlitteratur i «om faget» og gjennom to kompetansemål. Analysen ... -
The Effect of Spell and Grammar Checkers on Pupils’ English: A Study of Texts Written by Norwegian School Children Aged 13-14 Years
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)This thesis has investigated how the use of the spell and grammar checker in Microsoft Word affects spelling and grammar in English texts written by pupils aged 13-14 years in Norwegian schools. This topic was researched due to the increased use of digital aids in schools and the uncertainty regarding the effects of using of these tools. Assessment is a significant part of a teacher’s professional ... -
«Ikke plag meg, ikke spør meg, vær så snill!» - En kvalitativ undersøkelse av sammenhengen mellom læreres forståelse av matematikkangst og deres håndtering av elever med matematikkangst.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)På bakgrunn av egne erfaringer i praksis ønsket vi å undersøke temaet matematikkangst. I Norge er det generelt lite forskning på matematikkangst, mens det i internasjonal forskning i hovedsak har vært undersøkt hvordan matematikkangst påvirker elevers prestasjoner i matematikkfaget. PISA-undersøkelsen fra 2022 viste at 52% av norske elever svarte at de hadde matematikkangst. Dette gjorde at vårt ... -
"Da kommer morsmålslæreren og kan kommunisere med dem på en helt annen måte"
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)I denne masteroppgaven undersøker jeg på hvilke måter en morsmålslærer og andre lærere realiserer et samarbeid omkring nyankomne elevers opplæringssituasjon. For å undersøke problemstillingen fulgte jeg en morsmålslærer i løpet av en arbeidsuke i november. Uka besto i å reise rundt på ulike skoler, og ambulere på tvers av trinn, lærere og elever. Dette bidro til at studien kunne undersøke en rekke ... -
Et rammeverk for å identifisere hvordan lærerveiledninger støtter læreren
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-11-08)Sammendrag I denne masteroppgaven har vi utviklet et rammeverk for lærerveiledningsanalyse for å undersøke i hvor stor grad lærerveiledninger hjelper lærere til å undervise etter kjerneelementene i LK20. Først måtte sette oss godt inn i forskningslitteraturen for å prøve og finne essensen i kjerneelementene i LK20. På den måten fant vi kodeord for de ulike kjerneelementene. Deretter tok vi utgangspunkt ... -
Utforskende samtaler mellom lærer og elever
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-11-01)I min masteroppgave er den matematiske samtalen mellom lærer og elever i fokus. Målet har vært å få en dypere innsikt i hvordan en utforskende samtale mellom lærer og elever kan se ut, og hvordan lærerens utforskende tilnærming i samtalen kan påvirke elevenes muligheter for læring. Problemstillingen for denne studien er: Hvordan kan det se ut når læreren forsøker å ha en utforskende tilnærming i ... -
Processing of sugar kelp: Effects on mass balance, nutrient composition, and color
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-24)The European production of seaweed, including kelp species, is increasing, but efficient processing schemes for complete biomass valorization are still lacking. In this study, we investigated the effect of combining pulsed electric field (PEF) processing and soaking/blanching treatments (10, 45, and 60 ◦C) on the chemical composition of sugar kelp. Furthermore, we suggest applications for the ... -
Reading instruction for students with intellectual disabilities who require augmentative and alternative communication: A multiple single case study with baseline, posttest, follow-up, and maintenance
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-26)The purpose of the current study was to examine whether seven children, aged 6–10 years, with intellectual disabilities who require augmentative and alternative communication, could acquire phonological awareness and reading skills by using a reading material that is based on research on the evidence-based reading program Accessible literacy learning. The effect of the measures has been examined ... -
Development of quantitative PCR method for Escherichia coli detection in human stool samples
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-06-12)The gut microbiome is a complex community of microorganisms that reside in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. This diverse ecosystem includes Escherichia coli (E. coli), which are not just present, but are essential in maintaining health by aiding digestion, synthesising vitamins such as Vitamin B12 and K, and protecting against pathogens. E. coli is a versatile bacterium with various ... -
The root of extraction: understanding prison labor through the lens of human dignity
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-23)This study explores the compatibility of prison labor with human dignity by synthesizing and critically reflecting on existing research on the topic. Evaluating work in incarceration through the perspective of a core, foundational value such as human dignity allows us to consider whether it is a reality irredeemably linked to abuse or coercion, as it is frequently portrayed, or whether there may be ... -
Democratisation, Political Inclusion, and Systemic Justice: The Effects of Youth Movements on Social and Political Change in Nigeria
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-23)This study examines the effects of youth movements on social and political change in Nigeria, using the student movement in the 1980s/90s, the #NotTooYoungToRun movement (2016–date), and the #EndSARS movement (2017–2020) as case studies. Eight activists actively involved in these movements were interviewed, and the interview findings were complemented with data from various secondary sources, including ... -

Drugs, Death, Despair: Analysing Discourse over the Use of Capital Punishment for Drug Offences in Indonesia
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-22)In 2014, the Indonesian President, Joko Widodo, declared the “war on drugs.” Despite global abolitionist movements, Indonesia has maintained its firm stance on the death penalty for drug offences. This study aims to examine the discursive struggle over the use of capital punishment for drug offences in Indonesia by analysing the discourse used by the government and the counter-discourse actors and ... -
Loss of independence of the Colombian ombudsperson. Clientelism and horizontal accountability in a declining national human rights institution
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-22)The international status of the Colombian ombuds institution presents a paradoxical scenario. Although the loss of its independence has been documented for almost two decades, it has always received the highest rating from the organization that assesses compliance with international standards. While this is happening, the direction of this State agency continues to be determined by a deficient ... -
