Subject traditions and the role of digital platforms in upper secondary education
This article examines, from a comparative subject didactic perspective, the use of digital platforms in Swedish upper secondary schools, focusing on the significance in three school subjects: Swedish, mathematics, and history. Based on video recordings from 47 lessons, the analysis compares recontextualization of subject knowledge across the three subjects. Departing from Bernstein’s concepts of the pedagogic device and horizontal versus vertical…
Rethinking NPM in education
While late-twentieth-century educational policy shifts have been widely studied, research has often relied on selective empirical material, privileging policy documents—the stories of the victors—while obscuring messier political processes and broader developments. This study broadens educational policy research by analyzing public discourse, specifically newspapers. It examines the historical emergence and meaning of the Swedish term målstyrning…
Between Democratic Ideals and Local Conditions
Teachers’ implementation of and attitudes to school reforms and overriding pedagogical ideals have long been a topic of debate and research. In this article, we centre on teachers’ descriptions of how progressive teaching was conducted as well as on the teachers’ reasons for implementing such teaching in the 1940s. This study is based on written material consisting of 360 elementary school teachers’ accounts of their teaching collected in 1946. T…
Financement de l’éducation progressiste (1891-1954)
Il est désormais bien établi que les premières écoles nouvelles ou progressistes (progressiva skolorna) ont été financées par des fonds privés et non publics. C’est ce qu’ont mis en lumière diverses études de cas sur ce type d’écoles, par exemple au Japon et en Angleterre. Cependant, les analyses portant plus spécifiquement sur la nature de ces financements sont rares. L’objectif principal de cet article est d’analyser et de décrire le financemen…
Digital teaching as the new normal? Swedish upper secondary teachers’ experiences of emergency remote teaching during the Covid-19 crisis
This paper takes an interest in how schools and teachers dealt with new demands when teaching rapidly went online during school closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in what we see as an example of emergency remote teaching. The aim is to make visible how schools and teachers dealt with the demands that they were confronted with while under hard pressure during emergency remote teaching, and what discursive frames are used in upper secondary…
Practice before policy? Unpacking the black box of progressive teaching in Swedish secondary schools
The aim of the article is to deepen the knowledge of progressivism and how it was manifested in practice in Swedish secondary schools from a teacher perspective before it was prescribed in policy during the reforms of the 1950s. In the current educational debate, progressivism is blamed by some for being the root of a permissive style of education in decline that no longer provides any knowledge to students, and regarded by others as the starting…
When documentation becomes feedback
Teachers’ feedback via Learning Management Systems (LMSs) is studied within the subject of social studies at upper secondary school in Sweden. A qualitative study involved classroom observations within LMSs, gathering teachers’ feedback on pupils’ submitted assignments, and semi-structured interviews with six teachers. With the support of activity theory, the interest of the study was directed towards the tensions that arise in an activity system…
Farm Cooperation to Improve Sustainability
In this paper, it is demonstrated that partnership arrangements between farmers might be a way to secure the economic viability of their farms as well as to increase profitability. The article discusses empirical analyses of three different forms of collaboration, with an emphasis on the environmental improvements associated with collaboration. Collaboration between a dairy farm and a crop farm is analyzed in the first case. The results show that…
