Selv om forskningslitteraturen innen motivasjon for skriving er omfattende og voksende (Camacho et al., 2021; Graham et al., 2018; Walgermo & Uppstad, under utgivelse), pekes det i litteraturen på at lærerutdannere ikke legger nok til rette for å styrke læreres positive selvoppfatninger knyttet til skriveopplæring (Cutler & Graham, 2008; Hodges et al., 2021). I denne artikkelen følger vi et autentisk undervisningsopplegg i lærerutdanningen og utforsker i hvilken grad det å gi lærerstudenter en innføring i å skrive tekster for barn i begynneropplæringen – ut over ordinær undervisning i lærerutdanningen – kan styrke studentenes forventning til egen engasjerende begynneropplæring. I et forfatterledet undervisningsopplegg fikk førsteårsstudenter i lærerutdanning en kort innføring i å skrive tekster for barn, før de selv skrev slike tekster og fikk tilbakemelding på disse. Studentenes mestringsforventning ble innhentet før og etter opplegget gjennom digitalt distribuerte spørreskjema. Som forventet opplevde studentene en signifikant økning i mestringsforventning for å skrive tekster for barn. Av større interesse er sammenhenger som kan peke mot et potensial for å styrke læreres beredskap for engasjerende begynneropplæring i klasserommet gjennom å lære å skrive tekster for barn. Diskusjonen drøfter denne muligheten i lys av teori om utvikling av mestringsforventning.\u0000ENGLISH ABSTRACT \u0000Write to me – exploration of pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy for instructing beginning writers\u0000Research has identified teachers’ positive self-beliefs as a prerequisite for their provision of highquality reading and writing instruction (Hodges et al., 2021): teachers must feel competent, have room for manoeuvre and feel engaged in their work (Deci & Ryan, 2012). There is an extensive and growing research literature on motivation for writing (Camacho et al., 2021; Graham et al., 2018), which has highlighted that teacher trainers do not give their students enough help and support to strengthen their positive self-beliefs when it comes to writing instruction (Cutler & Graham, 2008; Hodges et al., 2021). In this article, we follow an authentic teaching design in teacher training where the standard instruction included in the teacher-training programme was supplemented with an introduction to the writing of texts for children who are beginning readers. We explore whether this can help strengthen pre-service teachers’ belief that they will be able to provide engaging instruction to beginners. The teaching design in question involved a module led by a professional writer and targeting first-year students on the teaching programme, who first received a brief introduction on how to write texts for children and then wrote such texts them","PeriodicalId":315285,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Literacy Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122708811","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 theoretical frame is taken from New Literacy Studies, with literacy perceived as socially shared and organised. The study draws on occasions during lesson observations where teachers addressed the issue of coding and decoding of letters. Findings suggest that these teachers follow patterns that build on assumptions and traditions with roots in the teaching of L1 children and use the material that they have at hand. The teachers’ prosodic knowledge in relation to letters and spelling was insufficient. We argue that when teachers are not aware of the phonetic and phonological challenges facing adult L2 learners, they may not give students enough support in their development of early literacy skills. Although explicit letter teaching represents only a small part of overall teaching, if teachers miss out on phonetic and phonological knowledge, they may not be able to identify difficulties for students and may even create unnecessary stumbling blocks for them. We conclude that there is a strong need for the development of basic literacy education for L2-adults to include both teacher knowledge and teaching aids.","PeriodicalId":315285,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Literacy Research","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128687864","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}

I den här artikeln undersöks vilka diskurser om skrivande som återfinns i de läro-, kurs- och ämnesplaner som reglerar ämnet svenska som andraspråk inom vuxenutbildning. Materialet analyserades med hjälp av Ivaničs (2004) diskursanalytiska verktyg. Resultaten visar att det trots skrivandets allt större betydelse i samhället är få delar i styrdokumenten som explicit rör skrivande. Totalt sett återfanns fler diskurser på grundläggande än på gymnasial nivå, men det är begränsat till ett fåtal diskurser. Analysen indikerar att ämnet omgärdas av en övergripande nyttodiskurs på gymnasial nivå, där skrivandet framför allt ska komma eleven till gagn i ett vidare akademiskt studieliv. På båda nivåer ges individens egna mål med skrivandet ett begränsat utrymme, liksom skrivande för kreativa syften. Ett kritiskt perspektiv i relation till skrivande saknas.

The material was analyzed using Ivanič’s (2004) discourse analytical framework. The results show that writing is given limited space in the syllabus. Although, in total, more discourses were found at the secondary than at the upper secondary level. The analysis indicates that the subject is surrounded by an overall discourse of usefulness, especially at upper secondary level, where writing above all should benefit the student for future studies and a professional life. The individual’s own goals with writing are secondary, as well as writing for creative purposes. A critical perspective in relation to writing is also lacking. This article proposes that the syllabus should give writing a greater space with clearer guidance in both subject content and knowledge requirements to provide students with conditions to develop a high level of written language competence. ","PeriodicalId":315285,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Literacy Research","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126840591","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}

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur grundskolor i en kommun beskriver hur de arbetar med att förebygga läs- och skrivsvårigheter, identifiera läs- och skrivsvårigheter samt hur de arbetar med stödinsatser för att utveckla elevers läs- och skrivförmåga.

A questionnaire was sent to all schools in the municipality (response rate, 77 %). A literacy model within a sociocultural theoretical framework was used in the analysis of codebreaking and meaning-making practices. The results show the need for schools to improve their capability in two crucial areas: firstly, to better utilize the students’ different linguistic resources and sociocultural experiences, and secondly to improve the collaboration with mother tongue teachers and study guidance tutors. The main conclusion is that the schools can improve their practices by taking advantage of the students’ linguistic resources to a greater extent, which plausibly can support these students’ literacy development.\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":315285,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Literacy Research","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123987292","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 empirical material consists of discussions in groups with students at the upper primary level who read two fictional texts about predator issues, prior to a school visit to a Wildlife Park. The fiction texts can be related to sustainable development as an interdisciplinary theme in LK20 in Norway. In order to explore how the students position themselves when reading, the terms “text movability” (Liberg et al., 2012) and “repertoire”(McCormick, 1994) are adopted. Text 1, a realistic story about a girl who meets a bear on a forest trip, excites and engages the students. The text is written with fictional tools that are easily accessible to students, and creates a clear interdisciplinary commitment and understanding of dilemmas concerning the predator problem. Text 2 is a fantastic story related to the Sami storytelling tradition. Studentsencounter resistance in the reading process, triggering individual students to engage with and understand the text.

We present a meta-analysis that assesses the differences and relation between the intervention effects of these two types of outcomes, trained vocabulary and standardized vocabulary tests. The results show large effects on trained vocabulary, limited effects on standardized measures, and no clear relation between the two. The moderator analysis indicates that less instruction time is associated with larger effect sizes on trained vocabulary but that trained vocabulary is not a predictor of either standardized expressive or receptive vocabulary. Thus, in interventions and meta-analyses, it is important to distinguish between effects on trained vocabulary and standardizedtests, and trained vocabulary effects does not necessarily transfer to standardized measures. This indicates that effects on trained vocabulary outcomes provide limited information when evaluating language interventions.","PeriodicalId":315285,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Literacy Research","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133474957","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}
