Lärare tillhör de yrkesgrupper som mest frekvent utsätts för arbetsplatsvåld, vilket påverkar deras psykiska och fysiska hälsa, berörda elever och skolverksamheten. Denna artikel presenterar resultat från ett forskningsprojekt om hot och våld mot lärare från elever i svenska högstadieskolor, och bygger på intervjuer med lärare, representanter från lärarfacken och rektorer. (pdf)

Flexischooling—the sharing of a child's education between home and school through formal agreement—is one of a range of ‘alternative’ education approaches that may adapt education to meet a child's special educational needs. This study considers qualitative data from an online survey conducted during November and December 2023 regarding parents' reasons for undertaking flexischooling with their…

In this paper, we use the lens of complexity theory and in particular the constructs of agents, interaction, dispersed control, and emergence to describe top-down and bottom-up mechanisms for change within the sudden shift to emergency remote teaching and learning. (pdf)

The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education plays a crucial role in teacher training digitalisation. Although AI has enormous potential, not much is known about how pre-service teachers perceive and utilise AI tools in professional practice. (pdf)

Teachers’ beliefs in their ability to positively impact students’ learning outcomes has become a strong indicator of teachers’ motivation and behaviour towards the instructional strategies they employ. However, measuring the broader concept of teacher self-efficacy is still somewhat problematic as current scales are dated, have measurement problems, and are not theoretically sound. This paper proposes…

There has been a proliferation of qualitative approaches to researching education. While this has resulted in the construction of a rich tapestry of knowledge about education, it has also resulted in disparate research ideas, processes and practices, and created tensions relating to what constitutes rigorous qualitative research in education. As such, the aim of this…

Classroom behaviour management is a persistent and often overwhelming challenge for novice teachers; they face frequent disruptive behaviours that they struggle to resolve effectively, which harms both the teaching process and classroom climate. This study investigates the specific strategies novice teachers use to manage behaviour, detailing what they experience, how they respond, the time each…

It is based on a project that used deliberative democratic approaches, in the form of a Citizens' Panel, to address…
