In this paper, we theorise our practice as teacher educators to understand a practice issue: the challenge our students had in developing pedagogical reasoning. The article discusses the findings of the theorising process to explore how pedagogical reasoning is developed and why it is challenging. It also provides an approach for theorising and exemplifies the…

This study recognised that there is currently limited understanding of the extent and nature of ability grouping practices in subject areas other than mathematics and English in primary schools. Using survey methods, this research sought to generate data of sufficient scale to extend understanding of the use of ability grouping practices in primary physical education…

Many newcomer children spend a ‘silent year’ in elementary school classrooms while they adjust to a new culture and language. This often delays inclusion in learning and forming friendships with peers. For refugee children with disabilities this phase may last for 3 years or more, impacting their mental health and sense of belonging, and potentially worsening…

This study focuses on children's own perceptions of participation in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings. (pdf)

Voksne som justerer toneleiet når de snakker med små barn, kan bidra til bedre språkutvikling hos 1,5-åringer, viser forskning.

High-quality mathematics education not only improves life outcomes for individuals but also drives innovation and progress across society. But what exactly constitutes high-quality mathematics education? In this article, we contribute to this discussion by focusing on arithmetic fluency. (pdf)

Children learn arithmetic best through a structured, evidence-based teaching cycle that combines conceptual understanding, timed practice and reflective discussion, according to researchers in a report. This approach can lead to quick recall, fluency and deep understanding, all of which help students with more advanced math topics like algebra and problem-solving, the researchers say.

Rethinking the roles of students and the classroom environment can help teachers create effective learning experiences.

Mange unge mangler livsviktig næringsstoff, viser ny studie. "Kjempeskummelt", sier norsk professor.

Det er litt som å kaste inn noen nye leker i samtalen.

Barn stresser og utagerer mer enn før, og sitter for mye i ro foran skjerm. Hvordan kan vi lage en skolehverdag med mindre stress som samtidig skaper rom for barn i balanse, trivsel og læring?

I Göteborg utvecklar nu en grupp matematiklärare undervisningsmaterial som ska kunna användas i flyktingläger, ett samarbete mellan Chalmers, Göteborgs universitet och Akelius Math Learning Lab. Materialet måste vara självinstruerande för det finns oftast inte mattelärare i flyktingläger.
