It was designed as a case study that involved the implementation and assessment of a developmental pedagogy-based morning routines intervention based on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and Yuval-Davis’s theory of belonging. The data were collected through the Sense of Belonging Scale for Children and an Observation Form. Pre- …

Education policies provide guidelines for testing and grading, but research on such prescriptions and prospective teacher perspectives is scarce. Hence, this qualitative investigation explored evidence-based policies juxtaposed with pre-service language teacher beliefs on summative assessment at three Nordic universities. The conceptual framework included teacher cognition and deliberation, while constructivist grounded theory guided the analysis…

Regulation in Practice
Developing summative assessment literacy for valid instruction is a qualification requirement for language teachers in Sweden. Yet novice teachers may be unprepared for how to implement regulations in practice. They may even experience a reality shock when facing large classes in which knowledge levels and motivation vary substantially or when adjusting to entrenched assessment cultures in schools. Previous research has measured summative assessm…

This study focuses on reducing children’s vulnerability, particularly through a school safety program, to increase their physical and emotional preparedness for children against earthquakes. A comparative case study is designed to explore the roles of the integration of non-formal and informal learning into formal edu…

This study explores student teachers’ development of professional identity in two teacher education programmes in Sweden and Denmark. Interviews were conducted with ten students in a comparative case study. Data were analysed by employing conceptual approaches of hermeneutic phenomenology and identity trajectories. The results indicate that student teachers attribute professional identity development to teacher education to a limited extent. Desp…
Swedish and Finnish Pre-Service Teachers' Perceptions of Summative Assessment Practices
Summative assessments are an exercise of authority and something that pupils cannot easily appeal. The importance of teachers being able to assess their pupils correctly is consequently both a question of national equivalence and individual fairness. Therefore, summative assessment is a paramount theme in teacher education, and we aimed to investigate the perceptions and competence of student teachers regarding common summative assessment practic…

The study also aimed to investigate whether the associations between learning environment characteristics and persistence varied by several student demographics. The sample for the study included 1,365 tertiary English preparatory program studen…
It's my partner, deal with it
Past research has shown that normative beliefs, or perceptions of (dis)approval from social network members regarding one's romance, significantly predict relationship commitment. We investigated sensitivity to rejection as a moderator of the normative beliefs–commitment association. We tested and found support for the moderating effect of rejection sensitivity (RS; Study 1) and sensitivity specific to rejection of one's current romantic partner …
