Using Bernstein’s socio-linguistic theory, a re-analysis and a case-study are carried out. With a focus on how teachers teach, field notes from a previously conducted study are processed again. Results show that teaching within school-age educare is based on a visible pedagogy of both strong classification and framing, in line with a formal image of instruction. At certain times, the teaching becomes invisible, primarily from the children’s perspective, partly because of admonitions to maintain the project and partly because of the children’s sense of control whether project events are real or pretend. The play-oriented features and child focus in the project can be seen as a strategy, demonstrating opportunities of school-age educare teaching to create behavior that explores different knowledge. One conclusion highlights the teachers’ sense of intonation, an art requiring teachers to lead and participate in order to provide the conditions for learning. This teaching can complement the school.","PeriodicalId":211767,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk Tidskrift för Allmän Didaktik","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115665607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current article is based in a collaborative R&D programme aiming at further developing knowledge about what may characterize teaching in preschools. In this article a didactic and pragmatically informed teaching approach with focus on values is analysed. The aim is to understand preschool teachers’ interpretations of the didactic why question, which plays a central role in teaching from a pragmatic perspective. The material underlying the teaching approach consists of a total of 364 documents, including 64 video recordings. This was carried about in about 120 preschools and/or preschool departments in ten Swedish municipalities. The analysis takes a didactic approach and can be methodologically described as abductive analysis. The results indicate that the question “why?” in didactic and pragmatically informed teaching with focus on values is characterized by ethical dilemmas concerning rules and norms in preschool practice. Consequently, the ethical dilemmas are constituted as didactic dilemmas, in which preschool teachers, in co-actions with children, focus on values in teaching situations, and for which preschool teachers need to take actions without offending colleagues, children or parents.","PeriodicalId":211767,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk Tidskrift för Allmän Didaktik","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122208780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attitudes being discriminatory are the opposite of inclusion which characterizes democracy. Can schools and education prevent such undemocratic attitudes? To address this question the paper takes its point of departure from the double purpose of education, i.e., an education which is good for the individual and an education which is good for society, democracy and the world as a whole. Furthermore, this double purpose was connected to general didactics and teaching, where the goal is to teach and educate individuals in such a manner that they will feel responsible and obligated to act for the good of society and democracy. To prevent this from being a purely theoretical research, we filmed and observed concrete teaching situations in the school, whilst we interviewed teachers in groups. Two teacher-groups in secondary school participated in our research. The research-question was: How do some teachers teach when the aim is to prevent the formation of undemocratic attitudes? We analyzed the results by way of three different models for teaching, including both direct and indirect approaches of teaching. The main conclusion is that the teachers who participated in our research combined direct and indirect approaches in their teaching; however, indirect approaches were particularly prominent in situations where the purpose was to make students responsible for society and democracy.","PeriodicalId":211767,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk Tidskrift för Allmän Didaktik","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131297848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research on Swedish pupils, however, is scant. The aim of the present study was to explore note-taking practices in Swedish upper secondary school and examine whether the school supports students in their practice. A survey with both closed-ended and open-ended questions was administered to 120 pupils from two schools in Västra Götaland County. Most pupils reported taking notes during lectures and doing so for mainly two reasons: to learn the material and to study the notes for future exams. However, only 15 % of participants had received guidance on how to take notes during their school years. A metacognitive framework is applied in interpreting the results. Whether a note-taking practice can be considered metacognitive depends on the underlying motives for choosing that strategy. A well-chosen strategy seems dependent on contextual and individual circumstances. It is suggested that pupils be taught both the advantages and the disadvantages of different note-taking practices, so that they can evaluate different strategies for themselves.","PeriodicalId":211767,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk Tidskrift för Allmän Didaktik","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128158928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key starting point for the study of sources is Bandura’s social cognitive theory. It is important to know the content of these sources because self-efficacy has been found to be an important factor in the quality of teaching. A particularly noteworthy reason to study self-efficacy sources and their nature in teacher education is that the sources are in the process of being shaped and can be consciously influenced. The research participants were 25 student teachers in a Finnish teacher education context. Data were obtained through interviews, and were analysed using theoretical thematic analysis. The student teachers highly valued the experiences they had acquired themselves, and they were often linked to the emotions that strengthen them. For example, when a teacher notices that students are learning (even though there were difficulties at first), it brings pleasure to the teacher. Negative mastery experiences were sometimes associated with depression, but those negative experiences in the long run may also empower the teacher. Student teachers also made observations about other actors of teaching (and teacher education) and received comments from them. In practice, the source evaluation of those actors was hierarchical, with the supervising teacher and the school pupil being valued the most, and the peer teacher, i.e. the student teacher, being much less valued. The critical approach offered in teacher education and the general accompanying reflective “climate” in teaching practice will affect how feedback is – and should be – evaluated by a student teacher.","PeriodicalId":211767,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk Tidskrift för Allmän Didaktik","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130252874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simultant med indførelsen af en enebedømmerordning er eksamenskaraktererne i dansk og matematik generelt blevet afgørende for elevernes ret til ungdomsuddannelse. Og for prøven i skriftlig fremstilling bidrager flertydighed i skriveordre og vurderingskriterier til en ustabil kontekst.

Fundene viser at skriveordre og vurderingskriterier forventes adresseret i elevteksterne, og at der samtidig findes kvalitetsnormer indlejret i tekstkulturen som tilskrives afgørende betydning i bedømmelsen, men ikke formidles eksplicit til elever og lærere. Der er tegn på et skrivefagligt fortolkningsfællesskab blandt censorerne og samtidig individuelle variationer, og elevteksterne tilgås som metonymiske repræsentationer af elevskriverne.

Analysis and interpretation are conducted through a narrative approach. The main findings are expressed in three narratives: 1) The teacher who creates a relationship with the child, 2) The teacher who confirms the initiative of the child, and 3) The teacher who makes meaning making possible. However, the study also reveals that there are considerable variations in the communicative approaches among teachers. This implies unequal premises for children´s meaning making.
