    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als Ericsson, Martin, 1982 - Vetenskapen som försvann?

    Abstract: It is well known that Sweden once had a state institute for racial biology, as well as that extensive racial research was conducted in Sweden during the first decades of the 20th century. But what actually happened to Swedish race research after the 1930s - did it just disappear? In The science that disappeared? historian Martin Ericsson conducts the first systematic survey of Swedish race research from the mid-1930s to the early 1970s. It is a story of a racial science that survived the horrors of World War II and endured longer than we might like to believe as criticism grew in the post-war period. And about the Norwegian Institute for Racial Biology, which was never shut down, but lived on in a different form and under a different name. Ericsson shows that there was not a single Swedish racial research tradition, but two. One was based on the first director of the Institute of Racial Biology, Herman Lundborg, and had clear connections to Nazism and other extreme right-wing movements. The second can be said to be based on Lundborg's successor Gunnar Dahlberg and was instead anti-Nazi and in some cases even anti-racist. But both traditions agreed that there were different human races and that it made sense to try to measure differences between them. By following the Swedish race research until the end of the 20th century, the book also raises important questions about our own time and its interest in ""origin"" and ""descent"". How fundamentally different are today's dna analyzes from the old racial research traditions? What if we risk asking the same questions as 1930s racial biology stuck with new techniques?

    Abstract: This book is about the historical sciences' way of producing knowledge by contextualizing. It is aimed primarily at students and researchers in the humanities disciplines who work with historical perspectives. The book's ambition is to bring the reader into the actual making and show how contextualisation is an important element in historical studies at all levels. The book thus hopes to stimulate increased reflection and discussion about how we proceed when we interpret, create or reinterpret historical, cultural and social contexts. The book firstly provides an introduction to what contextualization can be and do when we encounter the past in the form of texts, images or artifacts. From the very first day at the university, students in historical disciplines end up in such meetings. Therefore, the first four chapters of the book are primarily aimed at students in the introductory semesters. What does it really mean to analyze, synthesize, contextualize or criticize - and how do the ways of working with the past relate to each other? And further, what historical times are we working with: do we read source material from our own horizons or from those of the historical actors? Is the source material part of a long story or a short one? And who decides the answer to such questions? Secondly, the book provides an in-depth discussion of the role of contextualisation when we create new historical knowledge. The book's later chapters ask questions about how contextualisation relates to historical theory and method, and sheds light on the activity of creating, arguing for, and reconsidering the contexts that give meaning and significance to historical source material. The most central lesson the book wants to convey is that contextualization is an ongoing activity. Human horizons of understanding are constantly moving in step with contemporary knowledge interests. There will always be new ways of understanding historical expressions, and that is one reason why historical studies form an important part of society's common knowledge base

    Abstract: This book is an introduction to postqualitative methodology. It situates postqualitative methodology in feminist and posthumanist theories, where research is a worlding practice. Through addressing the relationality of inquiry, the book considers knowledge production as both material and discursive and proposes experimenting with research practices. Rather than offering instructions on how to conduct research, the book invites the reader to explore questions on how to form research problems, address research ethics and construct and analyze empirical material. By focusing on methodological as well as theoretical elaborations it can be inspirational within a range of different research areas, and work as a companion both for students and researchers

    Abstract: The Stockholm Conference 1972 drew the world’s attention to the global environmental crisis. To the inhabitants of Sweden, however, this threat to the planet and to humanity was nothing new. Anyone who regularly read newspapers, listened to the radio, or watched the television news would have encountered the issues. Five years earlier, in the summer of 1967, things were very different. At that time, it was not at all self-evident that humans were in the process of destroying their own living environment. Hence, in a short period of time, a radical change took place: an ‘environmental turn’. It had major and far-reaching consequences. But what was it that opened people’s eyes to the environmental crisis? When did it happen? Who set the ball rolling? And what does this historical process mean for us today? David Larsson Heidenblad’s book sheds new light on the emergence of modern environmentalism in Sweden and provides fresh insight to challenges that concerns us all

    Abstract: The Royal Academy of Sciences was an important organization in eighteenth-century Sweden. It brought together scientists and scholars contributing to a wide spectrum of areas, encompassing nature as well as society. But it also maintained close ties to the elite and the political establishment. The academy formed part of the institutional landscape of power and functioned as a consultive body and an arena for the upper echelons of the Swedish realm. The monograph sheds light on the political and economic outlook of the Royal Academy of Sciences during the period 1739–1792 against the background of its intimate connections to the ruling stratum. Not least the Hat Party, which dominated the Swedish political scene during the Age of Liberty, and the autocratic King Gustav III. The study shows that the members of the academy overall gravitated towards traditional viewpoints and that their conceptualizations of society were substantially affected by their interactions with the power holders. While some fellows offered new ideas in line with an increasing contemporary emphasis on spontaneous societal development and the capability of individuals to act responsibly on their own accord, such notions were by no means prevalent. Moreover, the book demonstrates that neither the academy nor its members constituted a passive tool for the elite and the powers that be. Rather, they engaged in self-promotion by attributing themselves a crucial role in the project of general improvement they envisioned and added to

    Abstract: "Passion for learning has become a key concept in the politics of education. We want to establish schools where students are motivated, enthusiastic and feel a desire to learn. To achieve this on behalf of all students, an emphasis has to be placed on schools where students can experience mastery on the basis of their individual qualifications. Variation in instruction is crucial for students to feel mastery and thus the desire to learn more. A significant springboard for increased desire to learn can be found in enthusiasm. The enthusiastic teacher often receives a good deal of deserved attention. Only when students become enthusiastic about learning can beneficial learning outcomes arise. In The Enthusiastic Student the authors demonstrate how instruction that incorporates wonder, investigation and activation can lead to more enthusiastic students. This anthology includes 12 peer-reviewed chapters written by authors who lecture in a broad range of subjects at Nord University’s Faculty of Education and Arts. The book is in two parts. The first part opens with introductory chapters that explain the concepts of wondering, investigative and activating instruction, and what distinguishes these three approaches from each other. In addition, the basic principles and overall perspective behind the choices of instructional form and the relationship to the student which will influence the learning outcomes in each case, are also explained. This is essential information when it comes to evaluating teaching practices: Why did the plan function well? Why did it not? Part two of the book presents the different wondering, investigative and activating working forms. Some of the methods are presented within the context of one or two subjects; other methods are presented more generally. In these chapters, the reader will find examples that illustrate motivation theory, more insight into the value of interdisciplinary work, and possible effects we can achieve with teaching activity that is not necessarily out after that one right answer. This anthology will be of interest to students and teachers seeking to create more enthusiasm among students in the teaching situation."
    Abstract: "Lærelyst er nå blitt et sentralt begrep i skolepolitikken. Det skal satses på en skole der elever skal være motiverte, engasjerte og ha lyst til å lære. For at dette skal gjelde alle elever, må det legges vekt på en skole der elevene opplever mestring på bakgrunn av sine forutsetninger. Variasjon i undervisningen er viktig for at elevene skal føle mestring og dermed få lyst til å lære mer. Et viktig grunnlag for økt lærelyst finner vi i engasjement. Den engasjerte læreren får ofte mye og fortjent oppmerksomhet. Men det er først når elevene blir engasjerte i læringa at de gode læringsutbyttene kommer. I Den engasjerte eleven belyser vi hvordan vi gjennom undrende, utforskende og aktiviserende undervisning kan føre til engasjerte elever. Antologien inneholder 12 fagfellevurderte kapitler skrevet av forfattere som underviser i et bredt spekter av fag ved lærerutdanningen ved Nord universitet. Boka er delt i to deler. Den første delen starter med noen generelle kapitler som bevisstgjør leseren på hva undrende, utforskende og aktiviserende undervisning faktisk er, og hva som skiller disse tre ulike tilnærmingene fra hverandre. I tillegg vil leseren bli bevisstgjort verdigrunnlag og overgripende syn som vil ligge bak valgene av undervisningsform og forhold ved eleven som vil påvirke hvordan læringsutbyttet i slike arbeidsformer vil bli. Dette er kunnskap som blir vesentlig når vi skal vurdere undervisningsoppleggene: Hvorfor fungerte opplegget bra? Hvorfor gikk det ikke bra? I del to av boka presenteres ulike undrende, utforskende og aktiviserende arbeidsformer. Noen av metodene presenteres innenfor et eller to fag, andre metoder presenteres mer generelt. I disse kapitlene vil leseren få eksempler som belyser motivasjonsteori, mer innblikk i verdien av tverrfaglig arbeid, og mulige effekter vi kan få av en læringsaktivitet som ikke nødvendigvis er på jakt etter ett eneste riktig svar. Antologien henvender seg til studenter og lærere som ønsker å skape mer elevengasjement i undervisninga."

    Abstract: "What are the conditions children and young people experience in the city? What opportunities does the city provide for interaction between people and urban spaces and places? What sociomaterial conditions for participation exist in institutions for children and young people? Can urban spaces, places and sociomateriality function in unexpected ways for children and young people? The topic of this book is the interaction between people and spaces, places and sociomateriality. The authors focus on the city as an object and as a context for children and young people growing up and engaging in play and activities. In addition, sociomaterial conditions in institutions for children and adolescents (daycare centres, schools and child protection services), as well as their interaction with professionals, are also analysed. This anthology includes eleven peer-reviewed academic chapters. The authors are researchers at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University – in social and health studies, preschool teacher studies, the aesthetic disciplines and at the Centre for Welfare and Labour Research (SVA), the university’s institute for commissioned research. The book will be of interest to all those concerned with the conditions of children and young people and the interaction between human agency and its material context in cities and institutions for children and adolescents: researchers, staff and students in social and health studies and teacher training programmes, as well as practitioners."
    Abstract: "Hva er barn og unges vilkår i byen? Hvilke betingelser gir byen for samspillet mellom mennesker og byens rom og steder? Hvilke sosiomaterielle vilkår for deltakelse finnes i institusjoner for barn og unge? Kan byrom, steder og sosiomaterialitet fungere på helt uventede måter for barn og unge? Tema for boken er samspillet mellom mennesker og rom, sted og sosiomaterialitet. Vi setter søkelys på byen som objekt og arena for barn og unges oppvekst og utfoldelser, som lek og andre mer utfordrende aktiviteter. Søkelys er også rettet mot sosiomaterielle vilkår i institusjoner for barn og unge – i barnehager, skole og barnevern, blant annet i samhandling med profesjonsutøvere. Boken er et resultat av to satsinger ved OsloMet – storbyuniversitetet: Storbyprogrammet, et strategisk program for tverrfaglig storbyforskning og forskning på byteoretiske temaer fra 2006 til 2015, og nettverket Barn og unge på tvers, et tverrfaglig nettverk opprettet i 2010, med forskning på og årlige konferanser om profesjonsutøvelse og om barn og unges oppvekstvilkår. Antologien inkluderer 11 vitenskapelige kapitler som er vurdert av ekstern fagfelle. Forfatterne er forskere fra ulike institutter og enheter ved OsloMet: fra sosial- og helsefagene, barnehagelærerutdanningen, de estetiske fagene og Senter for velferds- og arbeidsinkludering (SVA), universitetets institutter for oppdragsforskning. Grunnlaget for boken er den felles interessen for å sette barn og unges situasjon i storbyen på dagsorden, og for å forske om samspillet mellom byen som fysisk «kropp» og menneskenes handlinger, her samspillet mellom barn og unge og rom, sted og sosiomaterialitet. Antologien henvender seg til alle som har interesse for barn og unges oppvekstvilkår, og for samspillet mellom menneskelig handling og den materielle konteksten, i byen og i institusjoner for barn og unge: forskere, ansatte og studenter i sosial- og helsefag og lærerutdanninger, men også utøvere i praksisfeltet."

    Abstract: Denne boken diskuterer på ulike måter hvordan bruk av kvalitative metoder kan åpne for refleksjon som utgangspunkt for å utforske og utvikle profesjonelle praksiser i lærerutdanningen. I profesjonell praksis vises kunnskap i handling, og metodene er derfor orientert mot handlinger i en profesjonskontekst knyttet til utdanning fra barnehage til høgskole. Gjennom deltakelse i forsknings- og utviklingsarbeid kan forskere og praktikere erfare hvordan læring, forskning, utvikling og refleksjon henger tett sammen. Boken er delt i tre seksjoner som belyser refleksjon opp mot hovedbegrepene metode, forskning og læring. Bokens første del diskuterer metode i spenningsfeltet mellom hverdagspraksis, læring og forskning. Bokens andre del fokuserer på refleksjon i ulike utdanningers praksisopplæring, og den tredje delen løfter fram refleksjon knyttet til klasseromsundervisning. Alle bidragsyterne til Metode mellom forskning og læring: Refleksjon i praksis er knyttet til den tverrfaglige forskergruppen Kvalitative metoder i profesjonell praksis ved Høgskolen i Sørøst-Norge
    Abstract: This book employs a range of approaches to answer the question of how to use qualitative methods in a way that opens for reflections on the development and the study of professional practice in teacher education. Knowledge is displayed in action. Since this is also true for professional practice, the methods used by the contributors to this book are oriented towards practical action in the field of education, from early childhood education to higher education. Development, reflection, learning and research are tightly interwoven, as is displayed by researchers, teachers, and students when they participate and reflect upon different kinds of learning processes. The book is dealt in three parts, all of which examine reflection in relation to the fundamental terms method, research, and learning. The first part discusses method in a field of tension between everyday practice, research, and learning. The second part focuses on reflection in different areas of university students practicum during their education. The third and final part highlights the different ways in which processes of reflection are relevant in the context of classroom studies. All contributors to Method between research and learning ? Reflection in practice are members of the interdisciplinary research group Qualitative methods in professional practice at University College of Southeast Norway

    Abstract: Action Research in Norway. Theoretical and empirical diversity is an anthology consisting of twenty scientific articles from the fields of education, health, science centers, arts and working life. The anthology provides an insight into historical development, basic principles and theoretical and methodological discussions within the field of action research. The book addresses questions about participation, experience and dialogue as a basis for knowledge development. It includes topics such as professional development, development of school subjects, practice development, and organizational development. The empirical articles emphasizes on bridging the gap between theory and practice to understand, change and develop practices. Questions about the researcher´s role in action research are brought to attention, by highlighting issues such as the researcher's responsibility to contribute to reflection and clarification, and to raise critical questions, as well as to ensure that all voices are being heard. Furthermore, the anthology shows how exploratory methods, self-study and research in one’s own organization can contribute to learning and knowledge creation. The anthology underscores the importance of developing good education in action research at Master and Ph.D. level and argues for the importance of strengthening the research teaching in this field. Overall, the anthology shows how action research as a research tradition contributes to clarify and develop its epistemological and methodological foundation, to provide valid research results and to convey relevant and credible new knowledge. Such knowledge has an impact on how we practice, communicate and understand research in a variety of contexts

    Abstract: As the title of this treatise indicates, the topic is communication about quality. The author explores the general possibilities and limits of linguistic communication regarding the quality of grade school concerts, with specific concerts as her observational data. The crucial question is where to draw the line between what can be expressed verbally and what cannot when it comes to communicating about quality in this context. The point of departure for the author’s exploration is the noticeable tension that exists between different participants in The Cultural Rucksack (DKS) initiative and the school concert arena. Other researchers have explored this issue, but their contributions do not converge regarding the level of tension and the content of the different stances (cf. Borgen & Brandt 2006; Breivik & Christophersen 2014; Holdhus 2014). When Music Makes Sense aims particularly at clarifying the latter question, i.e., illuminating the specific content of the different stances. The lines of conflict and accord are made more apparent and palpable, and previous research is partly amended. This applies notably to the pupils own opinions on quality, as the treatise shows that they have more divergent opinions than what had been noted in previous research on DKS

    Abstract: "Denne boka presenterer forskningsresultater om matematikk på alle nivåer i skolen (barneskole, ungdomsskole, videregående skole) over de siste 20 årene. Norge har deltatt i internasjonale komparative studier fra 1995 til 2015 i regi av IEA (TIMSS Advanced, TIMSS, TEDS-M) og OECD (PISA). De fleste av disse studiene gjennomføres nå med jevne mellomrom. Sentrale forskningsspørsmål for boka er:-Hvilke konsistente forskningsresultater for skolematematikk finner vi, basert på data over 20 år fra alle disse studiene?-Hvilke utfordringer har norsk skole hvis elevene skal få den matematiske basiskunnskapen de trenger for videre utdanninger og yrker?Hvordan resultatene fra disse studiene kan bidra til bedre undervisning i skolen, og til å lette overgangen fra videregående skole til høyere utdanning for elevene, står sentralt i boka. Disse problemstillingene er noe av bakgrunnen for samarbeidet om boka mellom Institutt for lærerutdanning og skoleforskning (ILS), Universitetet i Oslo; Lillestrøm videregående skole i Akershus; Matematisk institutt, Universitetet i Oslo; og Matematikksenteret, NTNU i Trondheim
    Abstract: Norway is a leading country in the world when it comes to not prioritizing algebra in school mathematics, the mathematical language many students will need for further education and professions. Analysis of data from TIMSS, TIMSS Advanced and other international comparative studies have concluded that this result is consistent across 20 years of research. Norwegian students perform well in domains such as statistics/data, and alarmingly low in algebra. This conclusion is based on data from all levels in school: Primary school, lower secondary school, upper secondary school, and teacher education. The international studies indicate that East Asian, Eastern European and Latin European countries prioritize algebra more strongly than Norway or other Nordic and English-speaking countries. Several of the countries performing well in algebra, also seem to have some sort of balance between teaching algebra and teaching statistics, while there is a huge difference between the student scores on these domains in Norway. It almost seems as though ?students learn statistics instead of learning algebra?. The importance of taking into account the type of mathematical content which is tested in different studies before drawing conclusions, is also addressed in the book. For instance, PISA mathematics is compared to TIMSS grade 8 mathematics when it comes to mathematical theory involvement. On the other hand, it is emphasized that it is necessary to have information from different studies to make valid conclusions concerning mathematics in schools. The importance of cooperation between countries all over the world in developing school mathematics, with countries learning from each other, is also discussed. The book is a result of cooperation between researchers at the Department of teacher education and school research (ILS) and the Department of mathematics, both at the University of Oslo, and school teachers in an upper secondary school. The results are discussed from a teacher education perspective, a school teacher perspective and from the perspective of the national curriculum for schools in Norway. Some of the chapters in the book are devoted to going through all the test items in TIMSS Advanced 2015 which can be published, and it is described how these items can be used both by teachers in school and in teacher education at universities

    Abstract: This book presents research results from the international comparative study TIMSS Advanced 2015, which investigates the competence of students taking the most advanced courses in mathematics and/or physics in the last year of upper secondary school. This is the third TIMSS Advanced study in which Norway has participated. As a result, we have good data for analyzing trends in competence from the nineties until 2015 for the students in question, which we may call experts in these subjects

    Abstract: "Scientists, engineers, and a free-choice society is a book about control, largely the governing of children and young people in Sweden and the efforts made to persuade them to choose careers?and identities?in science and technology in the period 1950?2000. It is very much part of an interdisciplinary research tradition in which perspectives taken from the history of science and education are combined with theories from the field of governmentality studies.The book begins by describing a new societal problem that confronted Sweden, like so many other Western countries, in the immediate post-war years, namely a lack of engineers and scientists. The period from the outbreak of the Second World War to the mid fifties saw a new appreciation for scientific research and its application in both the military and civilian sectors. With the reconstruction of Europe and the Marshall Plan at its height in the fifties, technology and science became gradually associated with rising industrial productivity and with economic growth in general.By the sixties this had left national employment policy with some markedly pronounced objectives. By the end of the decade, it was obvious that the determination to increase student numbers in science and engineering ran contrary to other political ambitions, and did not sit well with the right of the individual to freedom of choice in education. The attempt to respect people?s autonomy while at the same time enabling more of them study these particular disciplines shaped a distinct set of strategies that made up the ?positive exercise of power??what might also be called liberal governing?in which the main idea was to encourage students to come to science and engineering of their own free will.The book goes on to demonstrate how this strategy of governing through individual autonomy would result in a series of specific measures in the seventies and on, including changes to the curricula and teaching materials, which were matched by activities outside the traditional bounds of learning such as a travelling science shows, advertising campaigns, and the construction of science and technology centres. The book also spells out the sheer reach of this recruitment policy. Many leading figures in Sweden set out to encourage people to become scientists and engineers?these were voices heard not only from government quarters, but also from industry and special interest groups.Scientists, engineers and a free-choice society does not set out to a ...
    Abstract: Naturvetarna, ingenjörerna och valfrihetens samhälle handlar om styrning av framförallt barn och ungdomar i Sverige till att välja naturvetenskap och teknik som utbildning, yrke och identitet mellan åren 1950?2000. Ämnesmässigt befinner sig texten i en tvärvetenskaplig forskningstradition där perspektiv från vetenskapshistoria och utbildningshistoria används tillsammans med teoretisk inspiration från fältet governmentality studies.I boken beskrivs inledningsvis framväxten av en ny samhällelig problembild i Sverige och övriga västvärlden under tidig efterkrigstid, nämligen bristen på ingenjörer och naturvetare. Den period som sträckte sig från andra världskriget krigets utbrott till 1950-?talets mitt hade sett en ny värdering av vetenskaplig forskning och tillämpning, både från de militära och civila delarna av samhället. I samband med återuppbyggnaden av Europa och den pågående Marshallhjälpen sammankopplades teknik och naturvetenskap alltmer med ökad industriell produktivitet men också med ekonomisk tillväxt.Ovanstående utveckling ledde under 1960-?talet till att rekryteringspolitiska målsättningar uttalades allt starkare. I slutet av decenniet blev det uppenbart att viljan att höja antalet studerande i teknik och naturvetenskap kom att kollidera med andra utbildningspolitiska ambitioner, framförallt den om individens rätt till ett fritt val av utbildning. I försöken att på samma gång respektera detta självbestämmande och samtidigt skapa fler studerande inom de ovan nämnda disciplinerna växte strategier fram i formen av ett slags ?positiv maktutövning? ? vad som också kallas liberalt styre ? där den bärande idén var att förmå elever att söka sig till naturvetenskap och teknik av sin egen fria vilja.Boken ger fortsättningsvis prov på hur denna strategi att styra genom individens autonomi frambringade en rad olika specifika påverkanssåtgärder från 1970-?talet och framåt. Bland dessa återfinns förändrade kursplaner och läromedel, men också insatser utanför den traditionella läromiljön, såsom kringresande vetenskapsshower, reklamkampanjer och uppförandet av teknik-? och vetenskapscentra. Vad som också framträder i boken är rekryteringspolitikens bredd. Många aktörer i samhället verkade för fler naturvetare och ingenjörer ? inte endast på myndighetsnivå utan även inom näringsliv och bland enskilda intresseorganisationer.Naturvetarna, ingenjörerna och valfrihetens samhälle ger inga svar inte på hur fler ungdomar skall förmås bli intresserade av naturvetenskap ...

    Abstract: This book focuses on how student teachers for primary and lower secondary school develop competence as teachers of writing. Analyses are based on written, digital dialogues between student teachers, mentors and lecturers during field practice. The dialogues can be characterized as discussions, and are results of SKRIVUT, an intervention study. Using writing as a mediating tool, the goal of SKRIVUT was to facilitate and strengthen the interplay between the two arenas of learning in teacher education
