Nonverbal immediacy has proved to be an effective communication tool in fostering student-teacher relationships. The present study aims to validate the Teacher Nonverbal Immediacy (TeNOI) observation scale in a sample of 58 teachers and their students (n = 1,124) in lower secondary schools. (pdf).

Students require feedback literacy to increase the potential impact of peer feedback on learning. This study investigates upper secondary students’ feedback literacy in both formal and informal peer feedback situations. (pdf).

This longitudinal study examines the relationship of psychosocial safety climate and psychosocial work factors with teacher turnover rates at 12- and 24-months follow-ups using objective turnover data from 14 schools in two Swedish municipalities. (pdf).

Math self-efficacy and test anxiety represent key aspects of motivation that play a crucial role in student learning, yet they are often studied separately. This study investigated (i) the relationships between math self-efficacy, test anxiety, and performance, and (ii) whether these were predicted by the teaching condition (co-teaching vs. solo-teaching). (pdf).

Good classroom behavioral climate (CBC) can be defined as an environment that is safe, where behavioral disruptions are rare, and which supports engagement in learning. The objective of this study was to find out what factors predict CBC. (pdf).

This study used a pre- and post-test intervention design, supplied with post-test interviews, to investigate to what extent an English foreign language lesson plan focusing on communication (in)directness and face would improve students’ intercultural competence. (pdf).

This article explores how ten Norwegian upper secondary school teachers narrated the inclusion of minority language students (MLSs) in their mainstream classrooms. Using narrative content analysis of in-depth interviews, two distinct master-narratives were identified. (pdf).

Simulation gaming is an interactive method to simulate complex problems, allowing learners to experience, explore, and experiment with dynamic situations and processes.

This study unpacks team teaching in two case schools with ILEs, each characterised by distinct organisational structures. Teacher interviews provided data analysed through a model identifying a continuum of teacher interaction. Findings reveal that while co-location and coordination lay the groundwork for managing shared spaces, achieving pedagogical cooperation and collaboration requires deliberate strategies to realise…

Allt fler politiska förslag kopplar ihop skolan med brottsbekämpning. Men vad händer med pedagogiken när skolan börjar organiseras som om dess främsta uppgift vore att förebygga brott? Det undersöker Maggie O’Neill i en ny avhandling från Göteborgs universitet.

Hur ska elever förstå vad som hände under den franska revolutionen, eller vad ett ståndssamhälle är? Och vad har en kung från 1600-talet med oss i dag att göra? En avhandling från Göteborgs universitet visar att språket spelar en avgörande roll i historieundervisningen. Det handlar inte bara om vilka ord som används, utan hur.

Varför har killar svårare att engagera sig i bildämnet? Det är en fråga som Lova Palmér, bildlärare och samverkansdoktorand vid Göteborgs universitet, vill fördjupa sig i. Hon forskar om genus, likvärdighet och visuella metoder samtidigt som hon undervisar på en högstadieskola i Kungälv.
