  • To recognize oneself and others in teacher-researcher collaboration

    Open AccessAnette Olin, Jonas Almqvist et al.ARTICLEEducational Action Research2023

    Research is needed to explain in more depth what happens and why in teacher-researcher collaboration.

  • Didactical dilemmas when planning teaching for sustainable development in preschool

    Open AccessMaria Hedefalk, Cecilia Caiman et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Education Research2020Cited by: 1References: 7

    In this article we analyze preschool teacher students' conversations during the planning of a teaching project concerned with sustainable development.

We take a pragmatic theoretical perspective to iden…

    Open AccessMarie Öhman, Jonas Almqvist et al.ARTICLECritical Public Health2014

    Since the development of the welfare state, the Swedish school subject Health and Physical Education (HPE) has been regarded as an important site for public health work, and still assumes a central role in promoting the health of the coming generation. A specific type of health intervention, promoted by researchers in recent years, is the use of so-called exergames. In some countries, these fitness games are used as teaching aids in physical educ…

    Open AccessMaria Hedefalk, Jonas Almqvist et al.ARTICLESAGE Open2014References: 29

    The focus of this article is to explore preschool children's possibilities to learn to act for sustainable development. The purpose is to describe and analyze which actions are privileged when children participate in preschool activities. Analyses of video recordings of everyday preschool activities show how children experience activities where they critically discuss and make value judgments about actions. The results of the analyses also show h…
