  Etter Salamanca-erklæringen i 1994 om inkluderende opplæring er inkluderingsbegrepet – og tilstøtende begreper – flittig anvendt både globalt og nasjonalt. Det er likevel betydelig uklarhet om hva inkludering kan bety, samt hva det innebærer i skolen og i hele utdanningssystemet. På bakgrunn av dette undersøker vi de tre læreplanverkene for grunnskolen fra 1997, 2006 og 2020. Tidligere forskning og policydokumenter om inkludering ligger til grunn for studien, og vi har benyttet dokumentanalyse som metode. Funnene viser på den ene siden konsistens i de grunnleggende formuleringene om inkludering og likeverd, og på den andre siden spenninger og dilemmaer, blant annet en mulig dreining mot en skole med et snevrere kunnskapssyn. En slik dreining kan fungere ekskluderende for noen, kanskje spesielt for elever som er i sårbare situasjoner, en elevgruppe læreplanene sier relativt lite om. Samtidig vil kanskje LK20s økte vektlegging av skolens profesjonsfellesskap og av elevmedvirkning og demokrati, kunne ha et potensial til å styrke den inkluderende opplæringen

  This paper discusses the pedagogical potential of a flipped classroom practice in which advanced virtual reality simulations are used to place pre-service teachers in work-related situations, such as a home-school collaboration. The paper applies a Vygotskyan perspective and discusses the simulation’s potential for contributing to pre-service teachers’ professional development. The article argues that, as understood through the lens of Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach to learning, virtual reality simulations may enhance pre-service teachers’ ability to learn through imitation, while also encouraging collaborative interaction and reflection. The aim in using virtual reality simulations in the flipped classroom is to counteract the reduction of pre-service teachers to passive interpreters and teachers to the providers of prescribed curriculums. We end the article by drawing attention to the potential limitations of the simulation when used as a flipped classroom practice.

  Changing views on childhood and children’s rights entail an increasing demand for listening to children's voices, even in research. All children are, in principle, seen as vulnerable participants in research, but our concern is the particularly vulnerable children. By listening to them, researchers increase the chances of contributing to the improvement of the children’s total situations based on their own experiences.  In this article, after discussing why vulnerable children should take part in research and exemplifying how they should do it, we consider advice for enabling particularly vulnerable students’ voices to be heard in research in ethically justifiable ways. Recommendations for considering vulnerable children’s participation in research are proposed. While children may be regarded particularly vulnerable for a range of reasons, we draw attention to the student group in regular classes identified as having special educational needs by referring to examples from a recent research project in Norwegian schools.

  In this article, we study the reception of Vygotskian theory in pedagogical literature for Norwegian teacher education. The article analyzes three widely used textbooks for pre-service teachers in the five-year integrated master’s degree program, looking at how Vygotsky’s work is articulated and disseminated in the readings. Although Vygotsky’s ideas are an important frame of reference for the pedagogical thinking in the textbooks, the findings indicate that Vygotsky’s theory is presented in a fragmented way and is largely disconnected from the social and scientific context of its formation. The article argues that the tendency to interpret Vygotsky in a cultural and historical vacuum represents a concealed potential for making Vygotsky’s ideas applicable in the current educational debate.

  The aim of this article is to study how mothers of children with special needs understand themselves in educational contexts. Using the analytical concepts of positional identities and figured worlds, we study the different positionings of mothers as their children transition between different school levels. Data were collected through recursive interviews conducted over one year as part of a small-scale study of mothers with a high level of education. The data used in this article were obtained from an informant’s reflections on her role as the mother of a child with special needs from the time he was in kindergarten to his final year in upper secondary school. Her case history illustrates how her positional identities in educational contexts were linked to mutual trust with the teachers and schools. The absence of trust had a significant impact on her ability to fully support her son’s schooling.

  The purpose of this study is to discuss the importance of diversity competence in teacher education, as teachers must follow the principle of inclusion both in their basic professional education and in their continuing professional practice (UNESCO, 2017). The research question is as follows: How do student teachers experience that professionally oriented pedagogy is relevant for meeting a diverse group of pupils?

  This study involved two research approaches: 1) a case study and 2) a robust literature review. These were conducted to strengthen the very sparsely studied phenomenon of teacher wellbeing in the primary school context. By combining these two methods, we are able to obtain a broader and deeper picture of the studied phenomenon. This study answers two research questions: 1) What experiences do teachers have regarding their wellbeing during teacher classroom management (TCM) implementation? 2) What studies have been conducted on teacher wellbeing in dealing with students with externalising conduct? Therefore, the aim of this study was to strengthen our understanding of teacher wellbeing using a multimethod approach. The diversity of pupils and their different difficulties challenge teachers’ skills and methods in teaching. Some behavioural challenges require rapid intervention and a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach by the teachers. An internationally recognised tool, TCM, aims to support pupils’ socio-emotional development, improve teacher–pupil interaction, and strengthen school–home cooperation. This case study examines teachers’ experiences of TCM in the Finnish primary school context. The study is qualitative, and the data (N = 16) was collected through focus group interviews. The theoretical framework of this study includes various indicators of teacher’s wellbeing. A systematic literature review was conducted to develop a robust theoretical framework for this paper. Wellbeing is a multidimensional notion and an understudied phenomenon (Berlanda, et al., 2019; Reddy et al., 2018; Weiland, 2021). Wellbeing theorists study the individual trait of flourishing, “understood as optimal ways of functioning characterised by goodness and wholeness” (Cherkowski & Walker, 2016). Research on human flourishing focuses on the importance of healthy relationships (Cherkowski & Walker, 2016), centrality of emotion and affect (Fredrickson, 2001), and feelings of competence (Dollansky, 2014). We therefore included Gibbs (2018) thoughts about teachers’ identities, autonomy, and efficacy. Seligman’s (2002, 2011) wellbeing theory stemmed from positive psychology, studying positive human qualities, habits, and mental models, rather than the analysis or exploration of deficits and negative attributes (Seligman & Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). In 2002, Seligman claimed that ‘happiness’ is made up of three elements: positive emotion, engagement, and meaning. In 2011, Seligman revised his theory to include two other elements: relationships and accomplishments. According to Seligman (2011), positive relationships, or a lack thereof, have a critical influence on overall wellbeing; wellbeing should be viewed as a construct. Researchers recently have followed Seligman’s approach to viewing the issue of teacher wellbeing through a positive psychology lens. The conversation turned to retaining teachers through mindfulness (De Stercke, Goyette, & Robertson, 2015), with positive teacher leadership practices focused on wellbeing for all (Cherkowski, 2018). Cherkowski (2018) specifically emphasised teacher wellbeing as a priority in its own right. This is in contrast to focusing on wellbeing as a tool to prevent burnout and attrition or solely to benefit students. In this paper, we aim to develop a deeper understanding of teachers’ wellbeing regarding students’ externalising conduct in classroom/schools as a preventive approach to wellbeing in education.

  Temaet i avhandlingen Jenter som utøver vold. En empirisk studie av jenters erfaring med gjengaktivitet, familie og skolegang, er erfaringer med og perspektiver på vold, vennskap, familie og skolegang hos unge jenter som utøver vold. Problemstillingene belyser: 1. Hvordan forstår jenter sin egen utøvelse av vold, og hvilke holdninger har de til voldsutøvelsen? 2. Hvordan rekrutteres jenter til jentegjenger som utøver vold? 3. Hva karakteriserer slike gjenger med hensyn til relasjoner mellom deltakerne, organisering og varighet? 4. Hvilken mening og verdi har gjengdeltagelsen for jentene? Gjennom en kvalitativ studie er det foretatt dybdeintervjuer av 13 jenter over en periode på noen måneder. Jentene, har utøvd vold sammen med andre jevnaldrende, og av hjelpeapparatet oppfattet som medlemmer av en voldelig jentegjeng. I tillegg er fire fagpersoner intervjuet. Resultatene viser at jentenes vold sjelden er umotivert, og at deres voldshandlinger ofte kan oppleves som rasjonell fordi den både kan styrke og svekke relasjoner. Denne studien tyder på jenter som utøver vold har vært utsatt for flere risikofaktorer, og de opplever å mislykkes på arenaer hvor de fleste jenter lykkes; i familie, skole og vennskapsrelasjoner. Jentene har framstått som motsetningsfylte, og historiene deres er på mange måter fylt av paradokser. Dette er jenter som er i trøbbel, og som skaper trøbbel. De kan benevnes som ”plagede og krenkede jenter”, og de plager og krenker andre. Dette er jenter som er synlige fordi de utagerer som de gjør, men samtidig har de ikke blitt sett av verken familie eller lærere for sine styrker og sårbarheter.
