Research Handbook on Curriculum and Education
This incisive Handbook brings together a wealth of innovative research from international curriculum and education experts to ask the question: what knowledge should be taught in school, how should it be taught, and for what purpose?
Here and Now at Historic Sites
The study explores the meaning-making of cultural heritage in school field trips to five sites in the region Östergötland in Sweden. It treats the materiality of the place and experiences of the guides and the pupils, obtained in school as well as in other contexts, as meaning-making resources during the site visits. It emphasises that sites should be seen as processes, open to interpretations and reinterpretations. The visitor is steered by expectations and common values as well as by the ways in which the heritage site is displayed and presented. In the present study, both adults (guides) and children (pupils) are defined as visitors. The authors draw on theories from history education research and from heritage studies when interpreting how pupils encounter heritage sites, they underline the centrality of 'the flesh and embodied agency' in the experience of sites. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
International Perspectives on Knowledge and Quality
Drawing together an international author team from Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the UK, this book examines how we might democratize and open up access to 'knowledge of the powerful' for all. This book moves beyond the narrow knowledge vs skills debate of the 20th century to interrogate the epistemic quality of education in schools, and is a valuable resource for reflecting on the design and implementation of teacher education. Based on a range of national studies by the Knowledge and Quality across School Subjects and Teacher Education network (KOSS), funded by the Swedish Research Council (2019-22), the chapters explore teachers' powerful professional knowledge and the implications this has for innovation in teacher education, policy and practice in educational settings.
Swedish and German Liberalism
At the start of the twentieth century, political parties had the potential to focus grass-roots interest in the development of modern, democratic nation-states. Yet all the new parties were met with suspicion across Europe, particularly among liberals. These popular misgivings and the way the liberals nevertheless managed to build a party are the subject of this book. In this book, historian Martin Åberg argues that because of liberalisms individualistic traits, which left liberals less susceptible to political organisation on a mass basis, party members had to come to an uneasy compromise between individual and collective action. Åberg compares two regions -- Värmland in Sweden and Schleswig-Holstein in Germany -- which historically both had a significant liberal presence. Despite its organisational shortcomings, liberalism in Sweden paved the way for the peaceful democratisation of the state. In Germany, however, liberalism turned conservative, foreshadowing the extreme nationalism and Nazism that was to come. Åberg argues that the peculiarities of organisational behaviour go some way to explain the very different outcomes.
International Perspectives on Knowledge and Curriculum
Drawing on the idea of powerful knowledge, this book interrogates the epistemic quality of education in schools, in terms of what students are expected to know, make sense of and be able to do through the curriculum. In doing so the authors acknowledge the significance of transformation processes through which specialized knowledge, developed in subject disciplines, is reshaped and re-presented in educational environments. Moving beyond the narrow knowledge vs skills debate of the 20th century, the authors look at how we might democratise and open up access to 'knowledge of the powerful' for all through the school curriculum. Arising from the work of the Knowledge and Quality across School Subjects and Teacher Education network (KOSS), funded by the Swedish Research Council (2019-22), this book draws on studies conducted in a range of national contexts, including from Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the UK, and considers the implications for curriculum innovation at policy, programmatic and classroom level.
Elin Wägner's Alarm Clock
This book analyses the ideas of the Swedish journalist, feminist, and literary author Elin W gner (1882-1949), as conveyed in her book V ckarklocka (1941), in a European feminist context. This context is presented in terms of three elements. Firstly, the German sociologist/educationalist Mathilde Vaerting and her sociology of power played an important role in W gner's development of a theory of matriarchy. Secondly, the influence of the Austrian feminist Rosa Mayreder and her theory of masculine civilization and feminine culture are analyzed in relation to W gner's development of what might be called an early ecological feminism. Thirdly, the mainly unknown Women's Organization for World Ord...
Tværfaglighed og fagligt samspil
Tværfaglighed er et populært begreb på uddannelsesinstitutioner, i dagspressen og i forbindelse med reformer af uddannelsessystemet. Men hvad betyder tværfaglighed i et fagdidaktisk perspektiv? Hvordan kan tværfaglighed bidrage til elevers og studerendes fordybelse og læring i de enkelte fag? Og hvordan kan faglige samspil være med til at udvikle fagene? I Tværfaglighed og fagligt samspil giver en række fagdidaktikere svar på disse spørgsmål med udgangspunkt i empiriske eller teoretiske overvejelser. De undersøger også tværfaglighedens rammer og tilsynekomster på forskellige uddannelsestrin og bidrager dermed til diskussion og teoriudvikling inden for sammenlignende fagdidaktik. Tak til professor Helle Mathiasen for kritisk og faglig gennemlæsning af bogen.
Educational Assessment
This book explores and builds on the extraordinary work of Professor Paul Black across assessment and pedagogy across the curriculum, including STEM, humanities and social science subjects. This book explores the influence that Black has had within educational settings focusing on interpretations of the work and scholarship he has achieved across a range of settings and on the ways scholars, who have worked with him or been influenced by his ideas, have developed their research and teaching. The contributions are presented under three thematic sections, each of which reflects a set of shared educational concerns and values drawing on the natural and social sciences and developments in public policy. These concerns and values, with their emphasis on teacher assessment, provide a basis for a strategic, informed and coherent response to challenges in education, such as the cancellation of public examinations in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Makt och missnöje
Antalet kommunala partier har nästan fördubblats i Sverige sedan 1990-talet. De finns överallt i landet, i alla typer av kommuner. I Makt och missnöje studerar författarna dessa rörelser i ett historiskt perspektiv och menar att de inte kan avfärdas som tillfällighetsfenomen eller utryck för lokal populism. Nyetableringen av kommunala partier är tvärtom en av flera viktiga förändringar i det svenska partisystemet och författarna belyser här den spännande utvecklingen. De nya partierna delar ett viktigt särdrag: de ger uttryck för djupt rotade geografiska identiteter som överensstämmer med gamla sockengränser, och med dessa i fokus blir det lokala missnöjet lätt att förklara. Författarna visar hur slitningar mellan olika kommundelar blandas med missnöje kring de etablerade partiernas agerande. I den jordmånen gror de nya partierna med energiskt engagemang i lokala frågor. Bokens medverkande är historiker och statsvetare från universiteten i Karlstad och Göteborg och källmaterialet i deras fallstudier utgörs bland annat av väljarstatistik och intervjuer med aktiva politiker.
