This article examines policy implementation as it unfolds in micro-level transitions between mainstream classrooms and lessons in Sámi, Kven, or Finnish as a second language (SKF) in Norway. In such situations, SKF pupils need to leave their mainstream classes ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-14)Det norske utdanningssystemet strekker seg fra barnehage til universitet og har et samfunnsoppdrag i å tilrettelegge for danning, utvikling og læring. Gjennom flere styringsdokumenter stilles det krav og forventninger til innhold og måloppnåelse på ulike nivåer i systemet. Innholdet og arbeidsmåtene i utdanningene har gjennom historien blitt påvirket av teknologiutvikling, ikke minst i den digitale ... -

Braiding Sámi Diversity and Sámi Pedagogy into Early Childhood Teacher Education: An Example from Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-04)The framework plan for kindergartens in Norway emphasizes knowledge of Indigenous Sámi culture among the core values of pedagogical practice. Preservice students in early childhood teacher education (ECTE) are thus obliged to learn about Sámi culture. We explored and developed collaborative teaching interventions for Sámi topics. We aimed to “braid” Sámi diversity into our teaching and make the ... -
What types of insight do expert students gain during work with ill-structured problems in mathematics?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-21)In our study, we explored how two high-performing mathematics students gained insight while working on ill-structured problems. We followed their problem-solving process through taskbased interviews and observed a similar sequence of insights in both participants’ work- (1) Spontaneous insight, (2) Passive gradual insight, (3) Sudden insight, and (4) Active gradual insight. An impasse occurred ... -
Mind the Gap Between Chemistry and Outdoor Education: Primary and Lower Secondary Preservice Teachers’ Beliefs During an Outdoor-Based Introduction to Chemistry in Science Education
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-14)Outdoor education is rarely used to teach chemistry, despite its potential benefits for students. This paper investigates preservice teachers’ (PSTs) beliefs about the domain of chemistry in science education. Sixteen primary and lower secondary PSTs were asked to draw their perception of chemistry in science education and mind maps about outdoor education before being exposed to a novel, student-active ... -
Systemrettede tiltak i barnehagen for inkludering av barn som viser utagerende atferd

Problemstillingen er følgende: Hvordan beskriver tre ansatte i PPT det systemrettede arbeidet i barnehagene, ... -

Tromsø Astronomiforening og oppgraderinger av Skibotn-teleskopet etter 2004
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2024)Skibotn-teleskopet var i mange år det eneste «profesjonelle» teleskopet i Norge – og ble primært brukt til å undervise studenter i observasjonsteknikker og for innsamling av observasjoner til mastergrader ved universitetet. Ved observatoriet ble det prøvd ut instrumenter og gjort observasjoner av forskjellige typer stjerner. Skibotn-observatoriet består av et bygg med kuppel. Inne i kuppelen står ... -
Pathway Analysis of the Dynamics of Teacher Educators’ Professional Digital Competence
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-07-01)Institutions offering teacher education have generally been criticized for giving pre-service teachers an insufficient education regarding the pedagogical use of digital technology. In this study we investigate the dynamics of professional digital competence (PDC) among teacher educators (in primary, secondary and early childhood teacher education programmes) in Norway, Slovenia, and Portugal. A ... -

The aim of this study was to explore resilience factors among young people who are victims of bullying and harassment (age 9 to 16 years old). In 2021 the burden of the pandemic lockdown became an additional adversity. The study used a ... -
«Veiledninga fra praksislærer sluttet liksom ikke den dagen vi var ferdige i praksis» En studie av trepartssamarbeid rundt lærerstudenters FoU-oppgave
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-09)I denne studien har vi undersøkt hvordan lærerstudentene opplevde arbeidet med FoUoppgaven på 3. studieår når praksislærer ble frikjøpt fra skolen én dag i uka og kunne være mer til stede i veiledningsprosessen. Data ble samlet inn gjennom spørreskjema til alle studentene og i tillegg gjennom fokusgruppeintervju med studentene som hadde utvidet samarbeid med praksislærer. Resultatene viser at den ... -
Approaches to spatial inequalities in a Nordic welfare state – the case of Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-29)In this article, the position of the core ideas of equity and equal opportunities within the Nordic model of education today is problematized, using Norway as the case of interest and spatial dividing lines as the main variable in question. I am specifically preoccupied with geographical education differences as part of the ‘unequal opportunity problem’ in Nordic education. Focusing on spatial ... -
Young refugees’ feelings of belonging? Encounters with rural Denmark and northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-07)This paper investigates how young refugees settled in rural Norway and Denmark experience their new places of residence. We find inspiration in the idea of ‘contradictions of space’ (Kinkaid [2020]. “Re-encountering Lefebvre: Toward a Critical Phenomenology of Social Space.” Society and Space 38 (1): 167–186.) in exploring how young refugees navigate issues in rural life from housing, ... -
Science Textbooks: Aids or Obstacles to Inquiry Teaching? Science Teachers’ Experiences in Norwegian Secondary Schools
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-16)Textbooks have several important functions in science education. By interviewing six teachers, this study shows how secondary school science teachers perceive and use textbooks as resources, especially in inquiry teaching.

The representation, quantification, and nature of genetic information
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-27)Current genetics studies often refer to notions from information science. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and structure the different notions of information used in biology, as a step towards developing a taxonomy of information. Within this framework we propose an extension of Floridi’s conceptual model of information. We also make use of the concept of specified information and show ... -

Use of directed quasi-metric distances for quantifying the information of gene families
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-12)A large hindrance to analyzing information in genetic or protein sequence data has been a lack of a mathematical framework for doing so. In this paper, we present a multinomial probability space X as a general foundation for multicategory discrete data, where categories refer to variants/alleles of biosequences. The external information that is infused in order to generate a sample of such data ... -
