Equal opportunities in education can be understood as equal access to certain forms of education or as equally valuing all educational routes. This paper analyses tensions and contradictions that came up in the microcontext of one secondary school in the Netherlands committed to fostering equal opportunities in both understandings.

The paper responds to the need to improve universal wellbeing education by investigating the underexplored intersection of arts-based practices and wellbeing education in secondary schools.

The paper focusses on how experimental research knowledge is brokered for practice. It highlights substantial problems with the way knowledge brokers transport phenomena from field experiments. Then, using the case of ‘interleaving’ in category learning research, it explores how knowledge brokers transport phenomena from cognitive science to the classroom.

This research project explores the use of ‘happy accidents’ as agents for facilitating more meaningful and critical exploration in secondary school art.

This paper addresses issues experienced by teacher educators in the university sector in the academic year 2021–2022, including the outcomes of the Market Review and Ofsted inspection, and the impact on wellbeing and workload.

The paper addresses the process of the social reproduction of inequalities in political power in the United Kingdom by identifying how highly educated parents develop the political interest of their children and in turn create access for certain groups within the next generation to the world of politics.

This paper addresses how a process of decolonising an initial teacher education (ITE) curriculum, and decolonising our minds, can help academics and teacher educators to think differently about engaging with anti-racist practice and professional learning within their own institutions.

The current study examined children's friendships during the formative school years and hypotheses were made regarding associations between how well-liked children were by peers, the reciprocity of these friendships, and with whom friendships were made.

The aims of this research article are twofold. First, in Study 1, we confirm the structure of the novel Compact Acculturation Scale, assess its convergent validity, and by a variable-oriented approach analyze the association of acculturation orientations with self-esteem and how experienced discrimination affects this relation. Second, in Study II, we apply a person-oriented strategy…

Hur ska man bedöma en elev i matematik om eleven inte förstår begrepp i uppgiften och saknar ord för att resonera och beskriva lösningen? Det har forskare och lärare undersökt i muntliga provsituationer med andraspråkselever i årskurs 9. Resultaten och slutsatserna delar de med sig av i det här avsnittet av Lärare & Forskning.

Om en viss kroppsrörelse inte är mer rätt än någon annan: hur ska man då sätta betyg i idrott och hälsa? Det är en fråga som både elever och lärare ställer sig, enligt forskaren Nina Westrin Modell.

Bedömningens dubbla funktioner, för betygssättning och som undervisningsstöd, behöver balanseras för mest effektiva lärande. Det menar forskare både inom pedagogik och kognition. Alli Klapp vid institutionen för pedagogik och specialpedagogik vid Göteborgs universitet menar att formativ bedömning står för ett grundläggande pedagogiskt förhållningssätt.
