If You Get Double the Time: Teaching practices in the “Swedish/English” language subject option in Swedish nine-year compulsory schooling
2012
In Swedish nine-year compulsory schooling, all students are supposed to learn English and at least one additional language, i.e., French, Spanish, or German. As a final option, extra Swedish and/or English classes, often called SvEn, are offered for students who choose not to study another language. The activities in SvEn are unregulated: there are no official instructions for the teachers, no set teaching goals (over and above those for regular Swedish and English classes), and no grading criteria, as students choosing SvEn are not graded in this language choice. This paper focuses on how 17 teachers organize their teaching of English in SvEn, basing the study on teacher interviews. It als…

The nail that sticks out : the practice of individuality in the East Asian classroom
2015
Itä-Aasian kulttuuri suosii käytöstä, jolla ei erotuta joukosta yksilönä, ja tämä näkyy Itä-Aasian luokkahuoneissa hiljaisuutena. Itä-Aasiasta kertovat luokkahuonetutkimukset ovat pitkälti keskittyneet siellä vallitsevaan kulttuurin suosimaan hiljaisuuteen ja yhteisöllisyyteen, eikä tutkimuksia ole juurikaan julkaistu itä-aasialaisten luokkahuonekäytöksestä muusta luokasta erottuvina yksilöinä. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii selvittämään milloin itä-aasialainen oppilas pystyy erottumaan vertaisistaan luokkahuoneessa ilman, että häneen kohdistuu paheksuntaa tai syrjintää. Aineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla kahta itä-aasialaista yliopisto-opiskelijaa heidän luokkahuonekokemuksistaan. Pääpaino oli koke…

A methodological approach to exploring the rhythm of classroom discourse in a cumulative frame in science teaching
2014
The purpose of this study was to characterise the nature and purpose of different types of classroom discourse and to explore how the rhythm of classroom discourse provides a cumulative frame for the teaching of science. The overall data consisted of a teaching sequence of eight lessons on the moment of force as taught to physiotherapy students at a Finnish University of Applied Sciences. Our in-depth multiple timescale analysis of two episodes illustrated in this study shows examples how cumulation was instantiated by the different types of classroom discourse. The methodology and findings of this study have implications both for teacher education and further research. peerReviewed

The mismatch between teaching practices and curriculum goals in Norwegian Home Economics classes : a missed opportunity
2020
DOI 10.1080/20004508.2020.1816677 Current curriculum guidelines emphasise the importance of both nutrition education and the development of practical cooking skills in the school subject Food and Health (FH). This study aimed to explore teachers’ and students’ perspectives and experiences of current classroom practices in FH. Focus group discussions (FGDs) with teachers and students at three schools in Southern Norway were conducted and thematically analysed. Our findings suggest there is a mismatch between curriculum guidelines and teaching practices. Although teachers understood the benefits of nutrition education, practical cooking activities were prioritised. Three key themes were ident…
