Fører opplæring i felles vurderingskriterier til større grad av enighet? En studie av tekstvurdering som en del av spesialpedagogutdanning.

Hovedformålet med studien var å undersøke effekten av å gi spesialpedagogikkstudenter undervisning og trening i å bruke felles vurderingskriterier i møte med tekstvurdering. Studien tar utgangspunkt i datamaterialet fra NORM-prosjektet, der et utvalg elevtekster har blitt samlet i et digitalt korpus (Berge et al., 2017). Førti spesialpedagogikkstudenter vurderte de samme fire elevtekstene fra Normkorpuset, to før og to etter intervensjonen. Hensikten var blant annet å undersøke om studentene hadde større grad av enighet i sine vurderinger etter intervensjonen. Resultatene viste at det ikke var signifikante forskjeller i grad av enighet før og etter intervensjonen på de fleste områdene. Det …

Speech-to-Text Technology as an Inclusive Approach: Lower Secondary Teachers’ Experiences

Speech-to-text (STT) technology enables pupils to write using their voice. This qualitative study explores six teachers’ experiences with introducing STT technology in a whole-class environment at a Norwegian lower secondary school. The aim was to explore the benefits and challenges of using STT as an inclusive approach for writing instruction in lower secondary education. The teachers in the study stated that most of their pupils found STT useful when beginning longer writing assignments (for example, as an aid for brainstorming and drafting) and producing texts in foreign languages. Reported challenges were pupils distracting each other, inaccuracy of the technology, improper use, and pup…

Accommodating Students With Special Educational Needs During School Closures Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Norway: Perceptions of Teachers and Students

The purpose of the two interrelated studies reported here was to explore the approaches that schools and teachers adopted to accommodate students with special educational needs (SEN) during school closings in Norway, as well as the consequences of the pandemic for children with SEN and their peers. Study 1 was a mixed-methods case study of a lower-secondary school in which students with SEN (n= 14) and students performing at or above grade-level (n= 66) completed a survey about their experiences. Survey results were then used as a starting point for follow-up interviews with four teachers and the school principal to explore how they dealt with pandemic restrictions and supported students wi…
