Value creation through teacher–researcher collaboration in action research
This study is part of a larger action research (AR) project aimed at improving students’ engagement with fiction and reading skills in Swedish and Swedish as a second language. In this paper, a theoretical framework of value creation in social learning spaces is used to critically explore teachers’ professional learning and experienced value in AR in literature teaching. In total, 15 teachers from primary, secondary and upper secondary schools pa…
Polarisation and marginalisation – discourses on Sami as L1 mother tongue instruction in syllabus, and media debate
In Sweden, curricula and syllabi for education are politically determined after public consultations. Thus, these educational documents are discursive trade-offs reflecting research, traditions in the educational system, and political ideologies. This study maps the discourses in the syllabus for Sami as L1 mother tongue for preschool class -Year 9, and mother tongue instruction in media debate 2016-2022. It problematises the educational implicat…
We are mentoring more often
In teacher education mentoring pre-service teachers is a critical factor. With background in research around mentoring pre-service teachers in connection to a training school project, this study aims to contribute knowledge about and identify mentors’ experiences of mentorship in the setting of a training school. Through focus group interviews and semi-structured interviews, foregone by a survey aiming at identifying general views of mentoring, h…
Consensus and discrepancies on quality
Although work placement mentoring has been examined extensively in research, there are no studies drawing on critical discourse analysis combined with discourse theory, aiming to examine the discursive construction of quality aspects. Seven mentor pairs in Swedish teacher training schools were interviewed individually during student work placement. Focus group interviews were conducted with eleven student teachers. The results reveal a consensus …
Rethinking Cultural Appropriation in YA Literature Through Sámi and Arctic Pedagogies
This article highlights cultural appropriation in the literary representation of the Sámi (the indigenous people of the European Arctic) in two Swedish YA series: the Soppero quartet by the Sámi author Ann-Helén Laestadius, and the Idijärvi trilogy by Charlotte Cederlund, a non-Sámi writer. Despite their different origins, the series are more similar than different in their portrayal of most aspects of Sámi-Swedish relations. The discussion of cu…
Forced Removal of National Minority Children in the Swedish and Finnish Arctic through Schooling
Whilst the colonial practices of child removal outside of Europe are (in-)famous, similar practices within Europe have received less critical attention. This paper examines novels and short stories set in Sweden, Finland, and the border area known as the Torne Valley. It analyses the literary portrayal of the forced removals of children, almost exclusively from the Sámi- and the Finnish/Meänkieli-speaking minorities, into workhouses or boarding s…
Protest and Apology in the Arctic
Today, Sweden enjoys a positive international reputation for its commitment to human rights issues, for instance, in relation to the recent migrant crisis. Abuses committed by the Swedish state against certain ethnic groups within the country are less well known, both within and beyond its borders. These included systematic attempts to curtail the use of indigenous and local languages, thereby causing communicative and ideological rifts between c…
Why become a teacher? Student teachers’ perceptions of the teaching profession and motives for career choice
The aim of the study is to discursively identify student teachers’ perceptions of the teaching profession early in their education and their motives for this career choice. Students wrote a letter sharing thoughts on why they want to become a teacher, how they regard the teaching profession and if someone inspired them in their career choice. The empirical data consists of 259 student texts from three Swedish teacher education programmes. The stu…
