Through a thematic narrative analysis, two contrasting, intertwined narratives (collaboration and non-collaboration) were constructed. When characterized by appreciation, mutuality, and dynamics, interaction (collaboration) has the capacity to promote positive development and empower parents. Conversely, when characterized by rejection, neglect, and stagnation, interaction (non-collaboration) might impair development and leave parents in despair. To establish and maintain constructive home-school collaboration, we recommend a family-centered approach that addresses adolescents’ needs and acknowledges parents’ perspectives.","PeriodicalId":38767,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Studies in Education","volume":"14 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175945","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}

Results showed that teachers mainly recommended either deep-learning strategies or a combination of deep and surface-learning strategies. Teachers gave better evaluations of deep-learning strategies compared to surface-learning strategies. Differences in evaluations of surface-learning strategies and interleaving were found between teachers who recommended only deep-learning strategies and those who recommended both types of strategies.","PeriodicalId":38767,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Studies in Education","volume":"10 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175775","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}

Taking students’ views into account promotes their participation. In this study, instant video blogging (IVB) is used to collect primary school students’ first-hand accounts of their emotions in learning situations. Through an experience sampling method (ESM), 22 Finnish sixth-grade students (12–13 years old) took part in IVB nine times during this study. The verbal expressions of students were analyzed to investigate students’ emotional experiences throughout the teaching sequence. The IVB method offered direct insight into how all students experienced teaching sequences. Compared to teacher observations, IVB offers a more diverse view into students’ experiences. This information can be employed when educating future teachers, and developing instructional methods. Further, offering students the opportunity to express themselves is the first step in supporting their participation.","PeriodicalId":38767,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Studies in Education","volume":"245 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139173252","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 central questions of the article are: How do parents of children with excessive school absence perceive the support they receive from the school? Secondly, why do schools struggle to support parents dealing with children with excessive school absence? By exploring the experiences of parents and school staff in their interactions regarding excessive school absence, the article highlights how the organization of everyday practices influences the dynamics between schools and parents. The study is based on 41 interviews, including 24 interviews with parents, four with school leaders, four with pedagogical leaders, and 11 with teachers. The article reveals that parents of children with excessive absence describe feeling left in a communicative vacuum due to schools not taking sufficient action regarding their children’s absences. On the other hand, school staff reported challenges related to internal coordination, negotiation of responsibilities, and limited resources in implementing long-term systematic interventions for parents dealing with children with excessive school absence. The article argues that in order to understand and address school absence effectively, it is essential to consider its contextual and relational nature.","PeriodicalId":38767,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Studies in Education","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175102","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}

Nine teachers from five programmes working together to develop a new curriculum for interprofessional education (IPE) participated in a focus group discussion.

Findings suggest that teacher experiences can be understood in terms of teamwork processes valued from both professional and IPE experiential variations within the group. Since findings illustrate pedagogical collaboration across department and faculty boundaries, they can inspire teachers who are planning a similar process.","PeriodicalId":38767,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Studies in Education","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135937805","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}
