Active Methods Concerning Skills Formation of the Sensory and Textural Analysis of Cheese
2017
The fundamental objective of this research is establishing favorable active methods applied to students in laboratory work, taking into account the peculiarities of students and the theme specificity so that they form certain practical skills to sensory and textural analysis of cheese. For the research purposes, students were grouped from one of the specializations in two heterogeneous groups. Taking into account their potential for learning, a different method of teaching and learning was applied separately for both groups of students. These methods are associated with other active methods for the skills training of sensory analysis of cheese and to stimulate the student’s creativity. Fin…
Rethinking practices of assessment for learning: Tablet technology supported assessment for learning mathematics
2013
This article discusses assessment for learning in mathematics subjects. It is challenging for teachers of large classes to regularly assess students' mathematics in order to help them improve their learning achievement. Given the complexity of assessing and providing feedback for learning, a new approach to assessment for learning was suggested. Media tablet technology supported assessment processes were devised and user studies were conducted in Norway and Rwanda. There are indications that students like to be involved in assessing each other's mathematics work. Students expect to get learning gains by providing and obtaining feedback to/from their peers using technology supported tools.
Interaction model: Reflexiv leadership in the face of tensions in the school’s practical day to day handling
2023
Author's accepted manuscript Rektorer opplever utfordringer i det å arbeide som faglig, pedagogisk og administrativt ansvarlig på skolen. Faglig, pedagogisk og administrativt hensyn kan fort komme i konflikt med hverandre og skape spenninger i rektors arbeid. Denne artikkelen undersøker rektorenes opplevelse av å være leder på skolen, og hvordan de kan håndtere disse spenningene. For å komme så nære rektorene som mulig er det benyttet reflektive livsverdensintervjuer. Resultater i denne artikkelen støtter tidligere resultater i nordisk forskning om at administrative oppgaver tar fokus bort fra utviklingsoppgaver og at det er spenninger mellom ulike oppgaver i rektors arbeid. For å illustrer…
Skolēnu leksiskās kompetences attīstīšana izmantojot saturā balstītu valodas apguvi (CBI) angļu valodas stundās
2022
Pētījuma ‘Skolēnu leksiskās kompetences attīstīšana, izmantojot saturā balstītu valodas apguvi (CBI) angļu valodas stundās’ mērķis ir izpētīt, kā saturā balstīta valodas apguve angļu valodas stundās ietekmē skolēnu leksiskās kompetences attīstīšanos. Darbā pielietota aktuālā, kompetencēs balstītā izglītības pieeja pamatskolas līmenī. Pētījumu veido gan kvalitatīvas, gan kvantitatīvas pētniecības metodes, kas iekļauj vajadzību analīzes anketu, interviju, mācību stundu analīzi, dalībnieku novērošanu, testēšanu. Teorētiskajā daļā apskatīta kompetencēs balstīta izglītības pieeja, saturā balstītas valodas apguves iekļaušana angļu valodas kā svešvalodas stundās un mācību programmas izveide. Empīr…
SPECIĀLO NOZARU ANGĻU VALODAS APGUVĒJU PRAGMATISKĀS KOMPETENCES PILNVEIDE TIEŠSAISTES VALODAS KURSA IETVAROS
2022
Pragmatiskā kompetence ir būtiska mutiskās un rakstveida saziņas sastāvdaļa speciālo nozaru angļu valodā. Tādēļ šī darba mērķis bija izpētīt speciālo nozaru angļu valodas apguvēju pragmatiskās kompetences pilnveidi darba autores piedāvātā kursa modeļa ietvaros, kas balstījās uz runas aktu paradigmu. Lai pierādītu pragmatiskās kompetences pilnveides paņēmienu un līdzekļu lietderību tiešsaistes vidē, tika veikta piecu individuālu speciālo nozaru angļu valodas apguvēju kvalitatīva gadījuma izpēte, izmantojot tādus izpētes instrumentus kā datorizētus pragmatiskās kompetences testus pirms un pēc kursu apguves. Izstrādātā valodas funkcijās balstītā valodas mācību programma, kursa plāns un izmanto…
Approach to mathematics in textbooks at tertiary level – exploring authors’ views about their texts
2012
The aim of this article is to present and discuss some results from an inquiry into mathematics textbooks authors’ visions about their texts and approaches they choose when new concepts are introduced. Authors’ responses are discussed in relation to results about students’ difficulties with approaching calculus reported by previous research. A questionnaire has been designed and sent to seven authors of the most used calculus textbooks in Norway and four authors have responded. The responses show that the authors mainly view teaching in terms of transmission so they focus mainly on getting the mathematical content correct and ‘clear’. The dominant view is that the textbook is intended to he…
Vocational education approach: New TEL settings—new prospects for teachers' instructional activities?
2013
This study focuses on vocational education teachers’ instructional activities in a new technology-enhanced learning (TEL) setting. A content analysis is applied to investigate teachers’ and students’ interactions in a 3D game context. The findings illustrate that when teachers’ and students’ interactions are mediated by a game, teachers seem to apply different discussion activities to empower vocational learning than they do in traditional classroom settings. Additionally, the present study shows that teachers spontaneously develop new ways of supporting vocational learning processes. In more detail, two main types of instructional activities were identified: a “knowledge-providing” approac…
Educational Perspectives on Scripting CSCL
2007
This chapter discusses different educational approaches to collaboration scripts. When carefully designed, scripts can push learners to that kind of situations in which meaningful interaction can take place. However, many conditions need to be met for this to happen in authentic classroom contexts. One of the biggest educational challenges in instructional design of computer-supported collaboration scripts is to better integrate them into wider social planes such as overall classroom activities. Scripts could also be considered as contextual and situated resources in collaborative learning environments. Furthermore, a challenge for future research is to explore how external scripts can be g…
Introducing teachers to new semiotic tools for writing instruction and writing assessment: consequences for students’ writing proficiency
2017
This article reports consequences for student writing quality based on a long-term professional learning project. Project teachers, representing all school subjects in grades 3–7, were presented with a writing construct, ‘Wheel of Writing’, and norms of expectation for writing proficiency. Participating teachers used the writing construct and norms as a basis for writing instruction and writing assessment. The project was conducted in 24 schools across Norway. 3088 students from 20 project schools participated. Two hundred and thirty three students from 4 schools were used as a comparison group. The investigation showed that students in primary school improved their writing quality signific…
Une approche structurelle pour la reconnaissance de notices bibliographiques
1995
National audience; Cet article présente un système de reconnaissance de la structure logique de notices bibliographiques en vue de la conversion rétrospective de catalogues de bibliothèques. Le système est guidé par un modèle de structures de la classe des notices, construit sur la base de spécifications détaillées par la bibliothèque. Le modèle fait intervenir aussi bien des connaissances sur la macro-structure des notices que sur la micro-structure de leur contenu. La reconnaissance de la structure d'une notice consiste à retrouver, à partir d'un flux OCR (Optical Character Recognition), sa structure logique spécifique, conformément aux descriptions du modèle. Le résultat est un flux stru…
