Knowledge sharing in workplace-based kindergarten teacher education. From ideal to practice
2019
Artikkelen drøfter resultater fra en kombinasjonsstudie (mixed methods design) som undersøker hvorvidt Arbeidsplassbasert barnehagelærerutdanning (ABLU) bidrar til forbedret praksis for kunnskapsdeling i et utvalg involverte barnehager. Datamaterialet består av en spørreskjemaundersøkelse rettet mot ABLU-studenter og deres mentorer, og fokusgruppesamtaler med personalet i fire ABLU-barnehager. Et sentralt funn er at ABLU-studiets bidrag til økt kunnskapsdeling i barnehagen først og fremst ligger i studiets kapasitet til å øke studentens kommunikative kompetanse og teoretiske forståelse, samt stimulere til å anvende denne i praksis. Vi finner også at ved å satse mer på opplæring i veiledning…
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PATTERNS OF ADOLESCENTS WITH LONG TERM ILLNESSES OR DISABILITIES IN FINNISH GENERAL EDUCATION

Finnish data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study was pooled from 2002 and 2010 surveys. 1126 respondents (14.6%) self-reported as having a LTID and details of main categories of LTID were used to examine PA behaviours. Overall, 15.6% of adolescents with LT…
Data er like viktig som Duplo : å vinne kunnskap om barnehagens læringsmiljø med innføringen av IKT i barnehagene i en kommune som eksempel
2008
Masteroppgave i pedagogikk - Universitetet i Agder 2008 Å vinne kunnskap om barnehagens læringsmiljø med innføring av IKT i barnehagen i en kommune som eksempel er tittelen jeg valgte å gi denne mastergradsavhandlingen i pedagogikk. Målet med undersøkelsen ble til av egne erfaringer med innføring av IKT i min barnehage. Bakgrunnen var at bystyre i min kommune vedtok i 2005 å satse 16 millioner årlig de neste to årene på IKT i skole og barnehage. Alle pedagogene i de skolene og de kommunale barnehagene fikk utlevert hver sin bærbare datamaskin og det ble tildelt datamaskiner i forhold til 1:5 elever i skolene og 1:10 barn i barnehagene. Hvordan kunne jeg vinne kunnskap om det som skjedde i b…

Masteroppgave ledelse- Universitetet i Agder, 2014 Oslostandarden for ”Samarbeid og sammenheng mellom barnehage og skole” er et ledd i Prosjekt Oslobarnehagen. Den skal sikre et godt samarbeid og en god sammenheng mellom barnehage og skole, samt sikre en trygg skolestart for det enkelte barn og sikre tidlig innsats for barn med særskilte behov.

What is effective pedagogy for multilingual learners? Observations of teaching that challenges inequity-the OPETAN project in England
2020
There is little empirical evidence regarding how best to prepare general education teachers for the challenge of supporting multilingual learners. This is both regarding helping learners develop the language of schooling, and achieving academic success (Faltis & Valdés, 2016). Similarly, little is known about what in-service teachers should know, and what pedagogical perspective they should adopt, to achieve these aims (Faltis & Valdés, 2016; Takanishi & Le Menestrel, 2017). However, there is a promising line of research that proposes an observation tool to evaluate classroom pedagogy: ‘The Standards for Effective Pedagogy’ (the ‘Standards’ 2014; Teemant, 2015). The OPETAN project (Observat…
