Citizenship, character, sustainability
An adequate response to the environmental and sustainability issues we now face cannot be limited to single perspectives, disciplines, or ways of knowing, and instead requires an interdisciplinary approach. Despite the connections between the fields of citizenship-, character- and sustainability education, they have thus far run parallel to each other, without any substantial convergence. This paper focuses on the conceptual and historical reason…
Parenting in Relation to School Dropout Through Student Engagement
Dropping out of school generally has negative consequences for both individuals and society, and the decision to do so has been described as a crucial developmental task of adolescence. This longitudinal study examined the contribution of parenting practices to students' completion of upper secondary school through their school engagement. Icelandic youth (N = 835, 54% female) were followed from age 14 to 22. Analyses using structural equation mo…

This article focuses on a school leader's professional awareness in promoting students' intercultural competence. The context is how societal challenges and changes-in this case the rapid increase in immigration to Iceland-provide opportunities for school development. Icelandic principals and teachers, like those in many other countries, face the new challenge of working with children from multiple countries, who speak different languages and bri…
Adolescents’ Perceived Parenting Styles and Their Substance Use
The relation between parenting style and adolescent substance use (tobacco, alcohol, hashish, and amphetamines) was examined concurrently (at age 14) for licit drug use and longitudinally (from age 14 to 17) for both licit and illicit drug use in a sample of 347 youth from compulsory schools in Reykjavik, Iceland. After controlling for adolescent perceptions of parental and peer use, own previous use, and gender, results indicated that adolescent…
A Developmental Method to Analyze the Personal Meaning Adolescents Make of Risk and Relationship

The article applies this analysis in the context of a case comparative design, drawing on interviews with two 15-year-old Icelandic boys who drank alcohol frequently, but in different ways and with different consequences. This article describes the utility of a devel…
