Alternativ konflikthantering - Hur kamratmedling kan påverka elevers ...
Kolfjord, Ingela Journal article in EDUCARE;2-3 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Alternative conflictresolution – How peer mediation effects children´s relationships Peer mediation is a process for resolving conflicts and disputes in which neutral parties (peers) act as moderators in the process. My aim in this article is to discuss how the mediation influences children’s relations during a school-break? The article does also discuss conflicts, emotions and the peers experiences of mediation. I am inspired by conflict and mediation theories and my methods are observations and interviews. My focus for this article is an observation during a school-break. The three pairs of mediators and the teacher act in different ways when trying to resolve the conflict related to four girls who were bickering about a skipping-rope and that rendered different results. ”Neglect” of the conflict resulted in an escalation and in a traditional and disciplinary way of handling the conflict, but focusing the wrongdoers, the conflict continued. In the restorative way of handling the conflict during a mediation process it also effects the children who were not involved in the conflict. The girls stopped bickering and the children involved and other children started to play together in a more interactive way. Peer mediation is a method of conflict resolution and it is oriented towards sustainable change. It is also an alternative to traditional disciplinary practices and does neither juridificate nor criminalizes children’s behaviour which happens when the schools report the children´s conflicts to the police. Keywords: Peer-mediation, conflicts, emotions, relationships, school-climate

Simonsson, Maria; Thorell, Mia Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2010)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

This article is about newcomers “doing” of the reception period at preschool. The study has an ethnographic approach, which is motivated from the new sociology of childhood (James & Prout, 1990) but also from actor-network theory (van House, 2003). The data consists of 17 hours video-recordings in a Swedish preschool context with focus on two newcomers; one boy (1:6) and one girl (3:1). Our data shows that in the processes of “doing” reception period, the building of networks is important. We found that the newcomers were involved in three different kinds of networks: (1) newcomer-pedagogue-preschool; (2) newcomer-artefacts-preschool, and (3) newcomer-peers-preschool. The findings suggest that in the construction of their social lives at preschool, the newcomers rely on both human (pedagogues, peers) and non-human entities (artefacts, norm systems). With reference to our findings we argue that newcomers are active in the construction of their lives from the first day at preschool. However, individual children seem to need some help in finding possible positions in existing networks. Building networks involve developing competencies needed to be regarded as a preschool child, but also to find out the norm systems and orderings of the preschool.

Att förändra den sociala ordningen
Tallberg Broman, Ingegerd Journal article in Educare;2 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö Högskola (2006)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

This article starts with a question made by a student: Are there any preschools in Scania that are noted for having a marked policy of gender equality? The answer to the question is a resounding “Yes there are”, within the context that the common open-door preschool policy represents one of the most extensive gender equality projects in Sweden. The meaning of motherhood and fatherhood has slowly been changed by the parents’ dual participation in employment, as well as in household and parental responsibilities. The relationships between the state and the family, the parent and the child, and the mother and father have been deeply influenced by the development and expansion of readily available preschool services. However, although gender patterns have changed, gender regimes, such as gender segregation and hierarchisation, characterise even the new social arenas. The question made by the student was directed at the special kind of pedagogical equality projects in preschools of today. These projects are discussed critically in the article, wherein the Swedish concept of gender equality (“jämställdhet”) is problematised as a marker for both nationality and class. It is of special concern today to discuss the effect of preschools on childhood and gender structure. In a time of restructuring and reorganisation of the welfare state and of European harmonisation, it is of special importance to focus on preschool and equality from a historical and international comparative perspective. The general, highly qualitative and accessible preschool represents more than just childcare - it is a pedagogical and gender political project with an embedded possibility to change social order.

Att konstruera begåvning - debatten om IQ
Axelsson, Thom Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärande och Samhälle, Malmö högskola (2012)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Throughout the 20th century, the nature of intelligence has been a hot topic and an intensely debated issue. It is the measuring and testing of intelligence, in particular, that has aroused the strongest reactions from defenders and protesters alike. The discussion on intelligence tests have frequently revolved around questions such as whether these tests will lead to an increased social mobility and liberation or, on the contrary, to exclusion and discrimination of certain groups. The focus of the present article, however, is not the consequences of intelligence testing but rather the debate concerning the testing within the research community. This debate is approached from three different perspectives: a historical perspective, a psychological perspective, and a perspective allowed for by discourse analysis. Having done this, I discuss one other tentative way of dealing with intelligence testing that does not necessarily have to involve narratives of liberation or of oppression. This is done with the help of Michel Foucault’s concept ‘governmentality’.

Att skapa mening i en skola för alla: Ett diskursanalytiskt förhållni...
Assarson, Inger Journal article in Educare;4 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

The increasing assessments and competition between countries and schools have actualized a focus on how schools handle low achieving children. Different discourses claim their knowledge in order to find the best solution to how the country can compete successively. By using a discourse analytic approach it is possible to scrutinize the process of continuously shaped and reshaped varieties of explanation models and thought systems, constructed to make sense and meaning when teachers are talking about a school for all navigating amongst different discourses striving for hegemony. The analysis model is created with the intention of constituting a tool for the analysis of these processes and linguistic activities. The basic data for analysis includes transcriptions from group conversations with 17 teachers initiated by the reading of official texts where the challenge to educate for plurality is formulated. In an example of analysis it is shown how discourses intertwine in a process where pupils concerned as having attention disorders are discussed related to the construction of an educational setting.

Att utmana eller återskapa traditionen - sex skolors arbete med eleve...
Larsson, Hans; Nilholm, Claes Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärande och Samhälle, Malmö högskola (2012)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Being part of a decentralized system Swedish schools have a rather large possibility to shape their own activities. In the present article we analyze the activities of different schools, working with children who are considered to have problems relating to others. Four schools represent a traditional way to work with these children. In contrast, two additional schools present challenges towards this tradition. Specifically, the work of these two latter schools is focused. The analysis is built upon interviews with three persons in each school: the headmaster, one teacher and the special educational needs coordinator (the SENCO). The two groups of schools are compared with regard to a number of themes: organizational solutions, the importance of school leadership, the role of the “small group”, the role of the SENCOs, occupational development, preventive work, and relations. The two groups of schools differ with regard to all these themes. Finally we discuss the implications of the two different approaches.

Wigerfelt, Berit; Morgan, Eva : Lärande och Samhälle, Malmö högskola Educare 2011:3 Tema: Tvåspråkig undervisning på svenskaoch arabiska i mångkulturella storstadsskolor;3 (2011)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

The article aims to examine how teachers involved in bilingual education in Swedish and Arabic perceived and handled this activity. In many ways, the educational situation in the bilingual classes was demanding. Initially, there were no written, clear goals or guidelines and the teachers had to find their own ways to manage the classroom. One complication was that the two teachers would be teaching the same subject matter to the class, and that they would be teaching alongside each other which required a high degree of joint planning. The Swedish teachers were also assigned new roles as teachers. Instead of being in the focus of teaching in class, they now had to stand back. They had to deal with the fact that they did not understand what the bilingual teachers told pupils in Arabic. According to the teachers, many of the pupils increased their self-confidence and self-esteem and it was positive to see that the pupils now had access to two languages which they could switch between. The article additionally highlights how various discourses on language influenced bilingual teaching in the district.

Barndomens reglering via skol- och föreningsidrotten
Peterson, Tomas Journal article in Educare;2-3 (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

In 2003, the Swedish government made a “handshake” (Handslaget) with the The Swedish Sports Confederation, offering one billion Swedish crowns over a period of four years to local sport clubs in order to create projects that would engage more children in organised sport. One way of doing this was by way of sport clubs collaborating with schools, so that within the school day pupils would be exposed to club sports – either through club instructors coming to the school or the pupils coming to the club facilities. But what happens when an activity constructed on one social field, in Bourdieu’s sense, and according to the specific conditions of that field, is simply lifted over to another social field? The basic aim of school sport is to enable each individual take the responsibility for his or her body in a lifetime perspective, whereas club sport is based on competition and strives towards selection, ranking and elitism. This article is based on an evaluation of all projects taking place within school hours in Malmö during 2005-2006. In relation to the basic goal, formulated unilaterally by the State and the Sports Confederation, that these projects should lead to the activation of children that are not yet physically active, the article argues that the result may be the opposite: the weakening of both the school subject Physical Education and the normal activity of sport clubs.

Barndomsbilder i förändring i grundskolans läseböcker
Eilard, Angerd Journal article in Educare;2-3 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

The article explores how norms and ideals linked to generation, gender and ethnicity are expressed in school readers used in Swedish schools since 1962, the year of the first national curriculum of the compulsory school. More than 60 readers have been examined. The adopted perspective combines a genealogical and a critical multimodal discourse analytical approach with an intersectional perspective. This means that the readers’ texts and illustrations are viewed as a whole and as social constructions in the historical context of their periods. Accordingly, the way changes in the late modern society, regarding childhood and family, are depicted in the readers are made visible, as well as the inclusion and exclusion of certain social subjects. Although the contemporary readers appear to advocate diversity and equal opportunities the analysis shows that a colonial white Western, as well as a heteronormative, discourse remains comparatively unchanged throughout the period. The most noticeable finding is the reversed generation hierarchies that characterize the late books. A striking point here is that the old nuclear family has been replaced by an ideal of young heterosexual twosomeness.

Betydelsen av praktisk personlig färdighet i idrottslärarutbildningen
Fabri, Anna; Mattsson, Torun Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2009)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

The article discusses the importance of personal sporting skills in PE Teacher Education. The article is based on interviews with a group of teachers in PE Education. They were interviewed about how they perceive the needs of skills in PE Students. The article also discusses the diminished importance in PE Education of the need of physical literacy. A particular focus is on the discussion of personal skills in dancing and in ball games. The results show that there is a difference between how the PE educators talk about personal skills in dance and in ball games. There is consensus concerning the importance of the need for good personal ability in dancing, which also permeates the exams that the students are doing. In ball games, on the other hand, the discussion underlines the importance of general skills in coaching and leadership rather than personal skills in various ball games, in order to create good learning situations for different groups of pupils.

Blivande historielärares förståelse av mångfaldsfrågor i ett historie...
Wibaeus, Ylva Journal article in Educare;2 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö Högskola (2008)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Since the mid-1990’s Sweden is officially spoken of as a multicultural society where diversity should be accepted as a natural part of everyday life. Gender, class and ethnicity are important aspects of this diversity within different contexts of society, where the national framework and its goals are transformed into local practice. One of these local practices is the classroom in which the teacher interacts with the pupils from a specific school subject/content. Within teacher education it is stressed that teacher students should be prepared for work in a multicultural school, and be able to prepare their pupils for life in a diverse and plural society. But it is not obvious how these competences can be transformed into teaching. One of the things emphasized in the syllabus of history as a school subject, is that history should contribute to educate pupils into democratic, solidary and tolerant citizens, abilities that are assumed to be of importance in a society characterized by diversity. How this should be done is not expressed, but being a history teacher implies interpreting the syllabus and realizing its goals. One can assume that this is one of the things discussed in teacher education with the teacher students in history. In this study I investigate, if and how, aspects of diversity (gender, class and ethnicity) are understood by history teacher students. This includes both which aspects that are stressed and how they are understood from the perspective of teaching history. A qualitative method with a hermeneutic approach has been applied in analysing the data.

Childhood and politics
Qvortrup, Jens Journal article in Educare;3 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö Högskola (2008)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Our culture’s attitudes towards children are ambiguous – as found also in the relationship between children and politics. The protective mood that has befallen children over the last two centuries entails their separations from adults – and from the serious business of economics and politics. How do we deal with the dilemma, which as a consequence makes it difficult to have a discourse about children and politics? This article nevertheless makes some reflections over the theme and suggests that one can, as far as politics is concerned, in principle talk about (a) children as subjects, (b) children/childhood as a non-targeted object (i.e. in terms of structural forces’ impact), (c) children/childhood as targeted objects (political initiatives having children in mind), and finally as (d) instrumentalised objects. The thorny question raised in each case is to which extent children are beneficiaries or if that is the case primarily as a side effect of gains to adults/adult society. Would public investments in children have been made to the current extent, if expectations of a surplus return were not an option?

Den friska boken och den sjuka läsaren: Om litteratur som medicin
Persson, Magnus Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2011)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Central agents of the institution of literature (critics, authors, scholars) find it increasingly hard to explain why reading literature is important. This leaves the field open for other interests to legitimize what was once a core value in education and the wider public sphere. One example of this is the increased interest in the potential health effects of producing and consuming culture, including the reading and writing of literature. This article targets the phenomenon of bibliotherapy, i.e. a field and practice concerned with how literature can function as a kind of medicine, thus making the reader healthier, more harmonious etc. Three examples are scrutinized: a popular introduction to bibliotherapy from the early 60s, an anthology from 2004 with a wide range of contributors, from researchers to psychiatrists, and, finally, a “therapeutic diary” from 2010 by the famous Swedish pop singer Caroline af Ugglas and the poet and psychoanalyst Ulf Karl Olov Nilsson. What conceptions of literature and reading can be discerned in these texts? Which values and ideologies lie beneath the renewed interest in literature as a kind of medicine?

Den retoriska arbetsprocessens betydelse för möjligheten att framstå ...
Olsson Jers, Cecilia Journal article in Educare;1 : Lärarutbildningen, Malmö högskola (2011)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Ethos is the part of a person’s identity he or she needs to be able to speak and write with credibility in different communicative situations. Ethos emerges through language, body, thought and action. In each context, we establish our ethos, at the same time as ethos paradoxically is a consequence of context. Ethos is closely related to the language and the expressions we use, and can use, in various types of communication situations. The adolescents in this article report that they experience an imbalance between the teaching of writing and oral communication, although the rhetorical process is the same for written and oral compositions. However, the longitudinal analysis of the teaching process shows that the imbalance students experience is explained by the fact that the rhetorical process (intellectio, inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria and actio / pronuntiatio) is treated differently in written and oral composition. Students are offered few opportunities to work on their preparations oral presentation since the emphasis is rather on the practical performance - actio / pronuntiatio. This gives students more opportunities to establish ethos in front of each other than to build ethos together with others.

Discursive Tensions on the Landscape of Modern Childhood
Ryan, Patrick J. Journal article in Educare;2 : Lärande och samhälle, Malmö högskola (2011)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

This text was delivered as a plenary lecture at the conference Barndom och ungdom i förändring (Childhood and Youth in Transition: Discipline and unrest in the modern welfare state) on October 29, 2010 at Malmo University, Sweden. It offers a diagram for visualizing modern childhood as a product of the discursive tensions between four dominant figures: the conditioned child, the authentic child, the developing child, and the political child. The lecture focuses on the creative dynamics between conditioning and authenticity as they appeared in the 17th through the 19th-centuries in Anglo-American discourse. It argues that a search for the conditions of authenticity through childhood became manifest in the disciplinary practices of institutions for children’s education and care. The resulting generative tensions were important for constructing the landscape of modern childhood as a whole. Finally, it suggests that the tensions between romantic authenticity and rational conditioning continue to provide a significant discursive framework for contemporary child rights talk.

Dokumentation, styrning och kontroll i den svenska skolan
Asp-Onsjö, Lisa Journal article in Educare;2 : Lärande och samhälle, Malmö högskola (2011)	peer-reviewed scientific ARTICLE

English abstract:

Documentation is a wide spread activity in all parts of society. During the last two decades the demand for teachers to write different documents has increased and concerns all students, not only those in need of special support. Documentation is never neutral; it is a way of creating reality or, a part of what Foucault calls the “production of truth”. Society is drawn in to what can be described as documentality. The aim of this article is to contribute to the understanding of the role of documentation practices in contemporary Swedish schools and the repercussions on the learning processes and the understanding of the nature of knowledge.
