Heteronomi som forutsetning for autonomi
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-15)In his major works in ethics, Immanuel Kant (1724—1804) does not pay much attention to the question how humans become moral.

However, in his minor works in ethics and pedagogy he draws our attention to the question mentioned and claims that humans first become moral when they get 16 years old. Before ... -

A case study of specialized science courses in teacher education and their impact on classroom teaching
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-16)Specialized science courses (SSCs) integrate content knowledge (CK) with pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and prepare pre-service teachers (PSTs) for reform-oriented teaching. Studies of individual SSCs report positive short-term outcomes, including an increase in self-efficacy and CK. However, few studies explore the longer-term impact of SSCs on classroom teaching.

Entrapment, Temptation, and Virtue Testing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-01-06)We address the ethics of scenarios in which one party (the ‘agent’) entraps, intentionally tempts, or intentionally tests the virtue of another (the ‘target’). We classify, in a new manner, three distinct types of acts that are of concern, namely acts of entrapment, of (mere) intentional temptation and of (mere) virtue testing. Our classification is, for each kind of scenario, of itself neutral ... -

The Tale of Two Lexicons: Decomposing Complexity across a Distributed Lexicon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-10)The notion of complexity is evasive and often left to intuition, yet it is often invoked when studying heritage language grammars. In this article, we propose a first pass at decomposing the notion of complexity into smaller components in a formal grammatical model. In particular, we argue that a distributed model of the lexicon (i.e., one that assumes that principles that generate both words and ... -
