Abstract

Adolescents confront mental health challenges in a post-Covid19 world with warfare and increased digitalisation, necessitating resilient young adults. Despite global recommendations, evidence of life skills education (LSE) in classrooms is scarce. This study involved classroom observations of naturally occurring instruction across 18 Norwegian upper secondary classrooms and identified how LSE was implemented in English and social science lessons to support students’ handling of personal, societal and future challenges. The study revealed more prominence of LSE in English than in social science and more often in general compared to vocational studies, offering insights for LSE implementation in pedagogy and policy.

生活技能教育是一种平衡行为：在高中英语和社会科学课堂上培养学生应对生活挑战的能力

在2019冠状病毒病后的世界里，随着战争和数字化程度的提高，青少年面临着心理健康挑战，因此需要有适应力的年轻人。尽管有全球性的建议，但在课堂上开展生活技能教育（LSE）的证据很少。本研究对挪威18个高中教室的自然教学进行了课堂观察，并确定了LSE如何在英语和社会科学课程中实施，以支持学生应对个人、社会和未来的挑战。该研究揭示了伦敦政治经济学院在英语方面比在社会科学方面更突出，在一般情况下比职业研究更突出，为伦敦政治经济学院在教学和政策方面的实施提供了见解。
