    • Hvilke muligheter og utfordringer finnes i samarbeidet mellom Visit Ål og medlemsbedriftene sine? 

      Østgaard, Mari Clementine (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-11-15)
      Visit Ål sin medlemsmasse består av mange små, privateide reiselivsbedrifter. Bedriftene har begrensede ressurser, operere gjerne i ulike marked med ulike kundegrupper og ulike forventinger til hva Visit Ål skal levere av tjenester og oppgaver. Et samlet reiseliv vil ikke bare bidra med økt tyngde opp mot lokale myndigheter, men også bidra til en bedre kundeopplevelse i destinasjonen. Et samlet ...

    • The Relationship between the Far-Right and Systemic Racism in the United States 

      Greffon, Djamila (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-11-01)
      The history of the United States is littered with numerous examples of historical manifestations of systemic racism and populism on the far-right. One can find these phenomena throughout the country's history. Extreme right-wing movements stand to gain a great deal from the pervasive racism in society. Gerrymandering, education, and voting are just a few of how the far-right can gain advantages from ...

    • Foreign to whom? Constraining the moral foreign language effect on bilinguals' language experience 

      Del Maschio, Nicola; Del Mauro, Gianpaolo; Bellini, Camilla; Abutalebi, Jubin; Sulpizio, Simone (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-27)
      The moral foreign language effect (MFLE) describes how people’s decisions may change when a moral dilemma is presented in either their native (NL) or foreign language (FL). Growing attention is being directed to unpacking what aspects of bilingualism may influence the MFLE, though with mixed or inconclusive results. The current study aims to bridge this gap by adopting a conceptualization of ...

    • Duodji Matters: Comments on ‘Decolonizing Production: Healing, Belonging, and Social Change in Sápmi’ by Natalia Magnani and Matthew Magnani 

      Grini, Monica (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-06)
      The theory and practice of decolonization present an awkward paradox: How can social change occur in everyday life to disrupt state structures while entangled with the mundane, social, and institutional practices and representations that perpetuate state power? In Sápmi, the transborder Indigenous Sámi homeland, decolonization has been intertwined with the institutionalization of Sámi governance and ...

    • Lytte fram forundringsøyeblikk 

      Nordli, Ingrid C.; Skog, Kristian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-05)
      I denne artikkelen reflekterer vi over hvordan den lyttende pedagogen i gjensidig dialog med barn, ved hjelp av pedagogisk dokumentasjon, kan fange barns forundringsøyeblikk under tilegnelsen av trinn i lytteprosessen. Med utgangspunkt i en praksisfortelling med sang- og lytteaktiviteter, beskriver vi lyttetrinnene hos barn og reflekterer over deres forundringsresponser når de møter noe nytt. ...

    • Is Finitude Original? A Rereading of “Violence and Metaphysics” 

      Rolfsen, Theodor Sandal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-21)
      This article seeks to challenge what may seem to be an obvious assertion: that finitude is original in the sense that it must be presupposed that any possible meaning can only be thought beginning from this finitude. I do this through a rereading of Derrida’s epochal essay “Violence and Metaphysics,” which perhaps is the most decisive interpretation of the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. In the ...

    • Competence in Digital Interaction and Communication—A Study of First-Year Preservice Teachers’ Competence in Digital Interaction and Communication at the Start of Their Teacher Education

      This article explores the variation in first-year preservice teachers’ professional competence in digital sharing and communication tools (software) by applying social constructivist learning theory and relevant concepts. The data were obtained from questionnaires distributed to 395 preservice teachers at two Norwegian universities in the first semester of 2019. Correlation and multiple regression ...

    • Barns fiskevær: Jenters og gutters uteaktiviteter som bidrag til konstruksjon av sted og kjønn 

      Gerrard, Siri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-29)
      Artikkelen handler om barn og deres utendørsaktiviteter i et nordnorsk fiskevær som jeg velger å kalle for Fiskeværet. Barna, dvs. fire jenter og fem gutter i åtte-tiårsalderen, gikk på en skole der elever fra flere trinn var samlet i en og samme klasse, noe som er vanlig på norske skoler der elevtallet er lite. Spørsmålet jeg stiller er hvordan barnas utendørsaktiviteter bidro til å konstruere sted ...

    • “Terror victims are probably not the easiest to follow up”: students’ perception of learning and teaching in the aftermath of trauma 

      Skarstein, Dag; Schultz, Jon Håkon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-23)
      In August 2011, Norwegian schools welcomed survivors of the Utøya massacre to a new school year. Based on interviews with 135 students who went back to school weeks after experiencing extreme trauma, this study investigates their perception of schooling and learning. Sixty percent of the students reported a variety of reduced academic functioning, and they were not prepared for the learning ...

    • The effects of bilingualism on the structure of the hippocampus and its relationship to memory performance in ageing bilinguals 

      Voits, Toms; Robson, Holly; Rothman, Jason; Pliatsikas, Christos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-05)
      Long-term management of more than one language has been argued to contribute to changes in brain and cognition. This has been particularly well documented in older age, where bilingualism has been linked to protective effects against neurocognitive decline. Since memory difficulties are key aspects of this decline, herein we examine potential effects of bilingualism on the hippocampus, a brain ...

The main aim of this study is to investigate characteristics of student communication in mathematics in the context of their realities. Video recordings of conversations were analyzed using a framework of various speech acts and interaction patterns that may indicate students` ...

    • Riding the (brain) waves! Using neural oscillations to inform bilingualism research 

      Rossi, Eleonora; Pereria Soares, Sergio Miguel; Prystauka, Yanina; Nakamura, Megan; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-04)
      The study of the brains’ oscillatory activity has been a standard technique to gain insights into human neurocognition for a relatively long time. However, as a complementary analysis to ERPs, only very recently has it been utilized to study bilingualism and its neural underpinnings. Here, we provide a theoretical and methodological starter for scientists in the (psycho) linguistics and neurocognition ...

    • Let´s go out! A group-based intervention in outdoor adventure education as a special educational support 

      Sarivaara, Erika Katjaana; Keskitalo, Pigga; Satu-Maarit, Korte; Lakkala, Suvi; Kunnari, Ari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      This article deals with the group-based behavioral, cognitive, and skill-training intervention program Maltti as a special educational support action applied with outdoor adventure education at the primary school level. The need to apply the group-based intervention arose from the special education teachers’ (N=2) desire to reinforce and expand their pedagogical methods in order to improve the ...

    • Comparing infrared and webcam eye tracking in the Visual World Paradigm 

      Vos, Myrte; Minor, Serge; Ramchand, Gillian C (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-15)
      Visual World eye tracking is a temporally fine-grained method of monitoring attention, making it a popular tool in the study of online sentence processing. Recently, while infrared eye tracking was mostly unavailable, various web-based experiment platforms have rapidly developed webcam eye tracking functionalities, which are now in urgent need of testing and evaluation. We replicated a recent Visual ...

    • Towards customised sovereignty: West Nordic societies in the new great power rivalry 

      Kobzeva, Mariia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-03)
      Two factors historically played a decisive role in the West Nordic region’s affairs: its strategic location and small societies’ long struggle for independence. The current power balance shift challenges the progress of Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland towards strengthening their independence and sovereignty. The research suggests a theoretical contemplation of the West Nordic region’s ...

    • Public Libraries in Norway and the U.S.: Looking Outside During and After the Covid-19 Pandemic 

      Skare, Roswitha; Lenstra, Noah (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08)
      Through this examination of trends in outdoor oriented librarianship in Norway and in the United States we see both similarities and differences. In both countries we see efforts focused on promoting reading outdoors. We also see efforts in both countries to take the library outside, thus perhaps ensuring the library’s continued visibility and relevance to the community served. In both cases, library ...

    • Homesteading in the Arctic: The Logic Behind, and Prospects for, Russia’s ’Hectare in the Arctic’ Program 

      Hodgson, Kara Kathleen; Lanteigne, Marc (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Moscow launched its “Hectare in the Arctic” program in summer 2021, allowing Russian nationals to obtain a free hectare of land in the country’s northern regions. This plan is the latest attempt to address the chronic problem of outmigration and to attract new settlers to the Russian Arctic. Yet, multiple obstacles stand in the way of making the scheme a viable demographic solution. The primary ...
