Until about two decades ago, the study of writing systems and their relationship to literacy acquisition was sparse and generally modeled after studies of English language learners. This situation is now changing. As the worldwide demand for literacy continues to grow, researchers from different countries with different language backgrounds have begun examining the connection between their writing systems and literacy acquisition. This text, which derives from a NATO sponsored conference on orthography and literacy, brings together the research of 70 scholars from across the world--the largest assemblage of such experts to date. Their findings are grouped into three parts, as follows: Part I...
How is reading literacy taught in Nordic classrooms, and how is this influenced by the curricula? How can we improve mathematics teaching in Nordic classrooms? What is the relationship between school performance and policy variations? How do teachers’ attitudes, beliefs and practices influence pupils’ learning outcomes? What characterizes the top performing pupils, and how can we stimulate more pupils to perform at the highest levels? These are some of the questions that are discussed in this collection of articles that are based on the results of the IEA studies TIMSS and PIRLS 2011. The articles aim to provide input for policy discussions and further policy development within the Nordic countries. Therefore, the main target groups are educational ministers and policymakers at all levels. These analyses will also provide input to the joint Nordic initiatives on educational development.

Danmark tilhører kredsen af velstående og demokratiske samfund med statslig omfordeling af indkomster og omfattende social sikring. Tiden efter 1970 var præget af kraftig og til dels selvforstærkende ekspansion i landets offentlige velfærdssektor. Fra begyndelsen af 1990’erne tvinges politikerne imidlertid til at få ressourceforbruget under kontrol, for velfærdssamfundet er under øget pres. Et lavt fødselstal, en stærkt stigende indvandring og et voksende antal modtagere af overførselsindkomster er blot tre af de faktorer, der i dag bidrager til problemstillingen. DET DANSKE VELFÆRDSSAMFUNDS HISTORIE er en økonomisk, demografisk og socialpolitisk kortlægning af velfærdssamfundets udvikling og udfordringer op til og især efter 1970.
Du ma ikke lave dig noget gudebillede, advarer Det Gamle Testamente: Du ma ikke forveksle billeder med det levende eller det skabte med Skaberen. Pabuddet klinger skAebnesvangert op gennem den vestlige kulturhistorie, hvor blodige krige og intellektuelle disputter om, hvad billeder ma, bor og kan, har sat sine voldsomme spor. Ikke desto mindre er der i kunsthistorien en perlerAekke af blAendende vAerker, der udforsker billedets muligheder og berettigelse.I Kunst & religion fra Byzans til Per Kirkeby nyfortolker lektor i kunsthistorie Hans Jorgen Frederiksen billedets historie fra de byzantinske ikoner til det 20. arhundredes avantgarde og billedsammenbrud. Mens han med den ene hand udfolder ...
