Formålet med kroppsøvingsfaget : Fremkomsten av diskurser innen norsk kroppsøving: En kvantitativ tverrsnittstudie
2018
Master grunnskolelærerutdanning for trinn 5-10, 5-årig masterprogram IDR507 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Background and purpose: The purpose of physical education is a highly discussed theme today, mostly because of the unclear core of the subject. This study aims to investigate the emergence of the health-discourse, the sports-discourse and the «bildung» -discourse, as well as to examine which of these discourses that are the most prominent within Norwegian physical education. The study also aims to investigate the emergence of gender differences in the discourses in the subject, if there is a difference in experienced discourses based on schooling as well as investigating if students' wel…
Teacher education programmes in physical education and sport at master’s level: Opportunities and challenges
2021
I denne artikkelen undersøker vi fremtidige muligheter og utfordringer i femårige lærerutdanninger i kroppsøving og idrettsfag på masternivået, i lys av kvalitet og relevans for fagfeltet. I undersøkelsen ble det benyttet en kvalitativ tilnærming med to metodiske innganger. Først ble et utvalg på 96 masteroppgaver i perioden 2015–2018 innenfor fagfeltet kroppsøving og idrettsfag brukt for å undersøke hva slags tematikker, teoretiske tilnærminger og metoder som er benyttet i masteroppgavene. Med bakgrunn i denne undersøkelsen ble det gjennomført en workshop med et utvalg lærerutdannere for å få innsikt i hva de oppfattet som fremtidige muligheter og utfordringer i femårig lærerutdanning i fa…
Det produktive praksissjokket: Nyutdannede læreres fortellinger om lærer-elev-forholdet i overgangen fra lærerutdanning til lærerarbeid
2020
Overgangen fra lærerutdanning til lærerarbeid omtales i forskningen både som utfordrende og som en mulighet for profesjonell utvikling. Denne studien undersøker hvordan nyutdannede læreres overgang fra utdanning til arbeid kan forstås som en danningsprosess. Studien baserer seg på ti semistrukturerte intervjuer med fem deltakere (ett i siste semester på grunnskolelærerutdanningen og ett etter de første tre månedene i arbeid). Studien benytter narrativ og tematisk analyse, og bygger på et hermeneutisk danningsteoretisk perspektiv. Sett fra et slikt perspektiv er overgangen en prosess preget av utvikling og horisontutvidelse der forandringen finner sted etter at de nyutdannede har kommet ut i…
Contrasts in freedom: Comparing the experiences of imprisonment in open and closed prisons in England and Wales and Norway
2021
Open prisons are portrayed as less harmful custodial institutions than closed prisons, and prison systems that rely more heavily on low security imprisonment are typically considered to have a more humane and less punitive approach to punishment. However, few studies have systematically compared the subjective experiences of prisoners held in open and closed prisons, and no study has yet compared the role and function of open prisons across jurisdictions. Drawing on a survey conducted with prisoners (N = 1082) in 13 prisons in England and Wales and Norway, we provide the first comparative analysis of experiences of imprisonment in closed and open prisons, conducted in countries with diverg…
Food waste and out-of-home-dining: antecedents and consequents of the decision to take away leftovers after dining at restaurants
2021
The rising trend of eating out has contributed noticeably to the increase in food waste generated by the hospitality sector. Therefore, it is essential to understand the drivers of food waste generation and the mitigation intentions of diners. Academic research in the area so far is fragmented, with particularly limited insights regarding the intentions to take away leftovers after dining out. The present study addresses this gap by using the theoretical lens of Behavioural Reasoning Theory (BRT) to examine the antecedents of diners' intentions to take away leftovers and how these are associated with their food over-ordering and leftover reuse routine. The hypothesised associations are test…
Getting to Know You – Supporting Research Through Communication and Collaboration
2022
Background. Communication and collaboration are important skills for academic librarians offering research support. When everyday meetings are not possible, as during the Covid-19 pandemic, academic librarians are forced to develop new ways of supporting students and faculty. Traditional library expertise in literature searching and bibliometric complemented with newer skills of analytics, visualization and literature mapping of a field can help librarians to get acquainted and communicate with the researchers they provide research support to. Objectives. This article presents the result of an effort to map out trends and changes in research and publication patterns in a university departme…
Ecological determinants of smart home ecosystems: A coopetition framework
2021
Abstract Nearly every industry classification is experiencing slow growth and increasing concentration. Seldom do researchers have an opportunity to observe an emerging industry segment with as much promise as the smart home ecosystem, an exponentially growing industry. The study presents a novel approach using industry life cycle model and a coopetition framework to understand the process of the ecosystem development. Building on recent literature suggesting companies that purposefully match strategy to life cycle stage, the paper describes the strategic motivations and critical factors involved in the competition-based evolution of smart home ecosystems from early to growth phases, leadin…
Tid og rom for likestilling? : En kvalitativ studie av likestillingsarbeid sett i lys av barnehagens struktur
2017
Masteroppgave pedagogikk PED511 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Background and purpose of the project The purpose of this study has been to investigate whether structural factors in kindergarten can affect gender equality in the children's group. Status reports from the kindergarten field show that gender equality is proving challenging in practiceand my research aims to look into what may be the reasons for this. Looking at the kindergarten structure, specifically time and space, I wanted to look at the role of time frames and different rooms in the gender equality issue. My research question is: What significance can the kindergarten's structural form have for the implementation of gender eq…
Kvinner på topp : hvem er de og hvordan har de kommet seg dit?
2006
Masteroppgave i offentlig politikk og ledelse 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand På tross av lover og regler som sikrer likestilling har Norge et av Europas mest kjønnsdelte arbeidsmarkeder. Vi har blant Europas høyest utdannede og yrkesaktive kvinner, problemet er at gutter og jenter i Norge fremdeles tar svært tradisjonelle valg. Denne skjevheten gjelder spesielt blant toppledere og da særlig innenfor næringslivet. Jeg har i denne oppgaven valgt å fokusere på de kvinnene som faktisk har lykkes og i dag besitter topplederjobber i næringslivet. Mitt fokus er på olje- og energisektoren, som er svært mannsdominert. De siste 30 årene har man prøvd å komme med forklaringer på den lave kvinn…
Orthographic precision for word naming in skilled readers
2022
Perfetti (2007) proposed that the quality of lexical representations affects reading. We investigated the role of lexical quality in decoding. Eighty-four adults read aloud words and pseudowords with dense and sparse neighbourhoods in a masked form-priming experiment. Individual-difference measures of language and cognitive processes were collected and entered into a principal component analysis (PCA). Compared to a non-overlapping control prime, we observed greater facilitatory form-priming for word targets with sparse neighbourhoods than those with dense neighbourhoods. A PCA component related to orthographic precision affected form-priming: people with low orthographic precision showed g…
