Denne artikkelen tar opp veiledning som utfordring i den nye 5-årige masterutdanningen for grunnskolelærere. Studiens datamateriale er i hovedsak fra møter i et profesjonelt læringsfellesskap hvor lærerutdannerne diskuterte erfaringer fra egen veiledningspraksis. I studien trekker vi veksler på internasjonal lærerutdanningsforskning og profesjonsteori. Masterveiledningen var utfordrende for ...

Based on individual interviews with young people in Finnmark who have quit or taken a break from upper secondary education, this article addresses the relationship between attachment to place and perception of time. Finnmark is the largest and least populated county in Norway, located in the far North, with only 10 upper secondary schools. The article’s theoretical basis is a criticism of two different ...

Education for sustainability in early childhood tends to focus on practices and advocacy, rather than on the aims of this education. We suggest that the aim should be to consider children as being and becoming eco-citizens. This suggestion is built on an exploration of children as eco-citizens. With theories concerning child-sized citizenship we suggest a description of children and adults as being ...

Målsettingen med denne artikkelen er todelt. Først gjøres en kartlegging av norske og svenske oversettelser og utgivelser av Lars Levi Læstadius’ taler (prekener). Dernest viser en bokhistorisk tilnærming til hver utgivelse hva bakgrunnen for utgivelsen og oversettelsen har vært. Kartleggingen har vist at senere postiller ses i sammenheng med tre finske utgivelser i perioden 1876 til 1924, som ...

The article seeks to answer the following question: How has the ...

I 2010 ble det ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet startet opp et nasjonalt pilotprosjekt (Pilot i Nord) med 5-årige integrerte masterutdanninger for trinn 1-7 og 5-10. I denne kvalitative sammenligningsstudien har vi intervjuet åtte praksislærere på mellomtrinnet (trinn 5-7) med veiledningserfaring fra begge disse utdanningene og undersøkt om de opplever kompetanseforskjeller mellom studentgruppene. ...

In addition to support from the homes, the teachers point to ...
