Undervisning på hög nivå: Fallstudiemetodikens möjligheter och begränsningar i undervisning inom företagsekonomi
Authors: Lundgren Mikael
Published: July 2024

Att åstadkomma högre nivåer av kunskap än ren faktakunskap brukar ses som ett viktigt mål för all undervisning. Trots olika taxonomier över kunskapsnivåer är det emellertid inte alltid klarlagt vad dessa kunskapsnivåer mer konkret innebär, särskilt inte i relation till ett specifikt ämne. Olika lärare har dessutom olika förväntningar både vad gäller undervisningens mål och dess medel, vilket påverkar deras undervisning. För att illustrera och diskutera detta presenteras i denna text en undersökning av vad som kännetecknar en student som behärskar ämnet företagsekonomi enligt ett antal universitetslärare verksamma i ämnet och hur de genom sin undervisning försöker främja högre nivåer av kunskap. Resultatet pekade på en förväntan om inte bara teoretisk förståelse, utan också förmåga till tillämpning av de teoretiska kunskaperna på olika former av verklighetsrelaterade problem. De vanligaste metoderna för att främja denna kunskap visade sig vara olika former av fallstudiemetodik med tillhörande seminariediskussioner, en form av metodik som de intervjuade också önskade allt mer. Fallstudiemetodiken granskas därefter närmare för att utröna dess potential för att stimulera lärande på hög nivå. Fallstudier visar sig ha en god potential för detta syfte, samtidigt som metodiken begränsas av kvaliteten i tillgängliga fall att studera, något som till en del kan kompenseras genom att använda så kallade levande fall. Samtidigt har fallstudiemetodiken begränsningar för att stimulera förståelse för företagsekonomi i termer av ämnets vetenskapliga utgångspunkter, något som också diskuteras i artikeln.

Handledningens vad, hur och varför – interaktionella mönster med fokus på röst
Authors: Sveen Hanna , Magnusson Jenny
Published: July 2024

Självständiga arbeten har fått en allt mer central roll i svensk högre utbildning, och därför får även handledning av dessa av större betydelse. Trots att det finns viss forskning som rör handledning av självständiga arbeten är det ovanligt med empirisk forskning av själva handledningspraktiken, d v s vad som görs, hur det görs och varför. Vi vill koppla dessa frågor till pedagogiska aspekter som stöttning, perspektivprövning och studentens självständighet. Vi undersöker därför det vi kallar handledningspraktiken vilken utgörs av all interaktion mellan handledare och student. Fokus för den här artikeln ligger dock på handledningssamtal. Genom att använda språkvetenskapliga angreppsätt vill vi belysa ett av de interaktionella mönster som vi har identifierat i handledningssamtalen, nämligen samma persons användning av olika röster. Vi utgår från Bahktins röstbegrepp för att studera hur röst operationaliseras i samtalen och ger dem dialogisk karaktär.
Examensarbetet i praktiken – en personlig reflektion
Authors: Berger Rolf
Published: July 2024

Väl fungerande praktiker inom en civilingenjörsutbildning beskrivs och kommenteras. Särskilt fokus har lagts på att examensarbetena är huvudsakligen externa. Arbetsgången är noga reglerad från start. Koordinatorns förarbete är speciellt viktigt för att utreda nödvändiga premisser. Granskning skall ske av såväl ämnesgranskare som examinator med olika roller. Vikten av kommunikationsträning framhålls liksom att examinationen om möjligt bör ske i ett öppet forum. Externa arbeten innebär begränsningar i handlingsutrymme för studenten genom företagens olika randvillkor. Idén att examensarbetesrapporten skall kunna avspegla kvaliteten hos ett helt utbildningsprogram framstår som ett rent önsketänkande.

Mot en professionalisering av det pedagogiska ledarskapet vid Umeå universitet
Authors: Eriksson Sven B , Ågren Per-Olof
Published: July 2024

Det pedagogiska ledarskapet inom högre utbildning fokuseras allt mer. Det understryks genom att flera lärosäten föreskriver såväl att pedagogiska ledare ska finnas på olika nivåer, som vilka övergripande uppgifter dessa ska ha. Denna artikel är ett resultat av en fallstudie av hur de tillägnade kunskaperna och färdigheterna från kursen Pedagogiskt ledarskap, en kurs för målgruppen studierektorer/pedagogiskt ansvariga eller motsvarande arrangerad av Universitetspedagogiskt centrum, har bidragit till deltagarnas professionalisering av det pedagogiska ledarskapet ett år efter kursens slut. Fallstudien genomfördes genom gruppintervjuer. Respondenterna uttryckte att de fått ett stärkt självförtroende i rollen som pedagogiska ledare samt att kursen bidrog till en professionalisering av rollen som pedagogiska ledare genom att stärka identiteten, att skapa en början till en handlingsetik bestående av delvis delade värderingar kring det pedagogiska ansvaret samt ge utbildning och träning i färdigheter som har sin grund i teoretisk kunskap. Kursen Pedagogiskt ledarskap ger därmed ett stöd i en process mot en professionalisering av det pedagogiska ledarskapet vid Umeå universitet.

«Åpne, mangfoldige og respektfulle?» Visjoner og kjerneverdier i norske og svenske høyere utdanningsinstitusjoner
Authors: Sataøen Hogne Lerøy
Published: July 2024

De siste tiårenes reformer i sektoren for høyere utdanning har bidratt til at institusjonene i større grad agerer som organisasjoner i et marked. Universiteter og høyskoler må profilere seg og formidle utad hva som er deres karakteristika, fremtidsplaner og strategier. Et uttrykk for dette er bruken av visjoner og kjerneverdier når institusjonene presenterer seg selv. Denne studien undersøker norske og svenske universiteter og høyskolers bruk av kjerneverdier og visjoner. Ved hjelp av kvalitative og kvantitative analyser av verdier og visjonsformuleringer undersøker artikkelen hvilke identiteter og fremtidsbilder som uttrykkes. Studien viser at visjoner og verdier i dag i stor grad inngår som et standardrepertoar i universiteters og høyskolers selvpresentasjoner. Mens kjerneverdiene, som representerer institusjonenes identitet, tar utgangspunkt i et generelt offentlig etos og tradisjonelle akademiske verdier, er fremtidsvisjonene i sektoren sterkere preget av konkurranse og markedsorientering. En slik endring på uttrykks- og fremstillingsnivået i sektoren for høyere utdanning er interessant, og må forventes å ha konsekvenser for interne prosesser, hierarkier og strukturer i organisasjonene

The Walkshop: a tool to integrate research on human aspects of sustainable urban design in teaching
Authors: Johansson Maria , Sternudd Catharina , Ferreira Inês
Published: July 2024

Teaching in higher education should be based on research findings. Urban design and architecture are ‘making disciplines’ and their link to formal research is described as tenuous. This paper reports on a collaborative educational workshop, the Walkshop, designed to bridge the gap between the multidisciplinary research project Urban Walking and the master’s programme in sustainable urban design and city planning. The need for understanding of differences regarding knowledge competence and cultural skills between disciplines for successful multidisciplinary communication was addressed in the Walkshop design through theoretical input, acquaintance with methodology, design task, and presentation of design solutions. The Walkshop facilitated the students’ learning process towards a close-up perspective in analysis of the environment. Students’ design proposals integrated new perspectives and key facts from research, and provided inspiration and concrete suggestions for the analysed urban area. Collaborative educational workshops seem to be a useful component to include in a Master’s course syllabus, to strengthen the link to research in practice-based education, and to disseminate current research results directly into practice.
Caseexaminationen och återkoppling på case i högre utbildning
Authors: Norén Catharina
Published: July 2024

Caseundervisning används inom både svensk och internationell högskoleutbildning. Caseundervisning ger studenterna möjlighet att tillämpa sina kunskaper på verkliga fall vilket förbättrar deras förståelse av kursens teoretiska innehåll. Syftet med denna artikel är att närmare studera den skriftliga caseanalysen, s.k. caserapporten, inom ämnet företagsekonomi. Fokus ligger på lärarens arbete med att bedöma analysen och ge studenter återkoppling på sin text. Det empiriska material som granskningen inkluderar är lärandemål, kurslitteratur, case samt studenternas caserapporter som ingick i en kandidatnivåkurs vid Malmö högskola vårterminen 2013. Analysen visar att universitetsläraren kan arbeta strukturerat utifrån en modell med flera komplexitetsnivåer för att skapa en tydligare återkoppling till studenterna. Resultatet av studien kan i en vidare kontext användas för att ge återkoppling på projektarbeten och examensarbeten i vilka läraren också bedömer kvaliteten på studenters analysarbete.

Formandet av anställningsbara studenter: En reflektion kring karriärvägledning inom högre utbildning
Authors: Vesterberg Viktor
Published: July 2024

Anställningsbarhet har sedan 1990-talet seglat upp som ett policybegrepp av allt större vikt inom arbetsmarknads- och skolpolitiken. Syftet med denna undersökning är att kritiskt diskutera och reflektera kring formandet av anställningsbara studenter – studenter som ska förmås leva upp till, vad som ofta kallas, ”arbetsmarknadens krav”. Diskussionen och analysen utgår från empiriskt material från hemsidan för Linköpings Universitets Karriärcentrum. Diskussionen sker med utgångspunkt i olika maktperspektiv influerade av Michel Foucault. När debatten om fördelar med högre studier alltmer handlar om en nytta för arbetslivet och arbetsgivaren får de program och kurser som inte har en tydlig och direkt koppling till någon given position i arbetslivet, svårare att motivera sin existens. Därav är viljan att skapa anställningsbara studenter en angelägen fråga att kritiskt reflektera kring.
Problembaseret læring og forumspil som motiverende læringsmetoder og fælles samarbejdsform i interprofessionel undervisning
Authors: Hansen Bodil Winther , Hatt Camusa
Published: July 2024

I denne artikel fremlægger vi en undersøgelse af effekten af at bruge PBL med forumspil i interprofessionelle læringsforløb og vi diskuterer hvorfor disse metoder støtter studerendes og underviseres motivation for at indgå i et interprofessionelt læringsforløb. Undersøgelsen blev foretaget via tilrettelæggelse og gennemførelse af et konkret, interprofessionelt undervisningsforløb for to klasser omkring temaet ”konflikthåndtering” ud fra en PBL-ramme. Der blev foretaget dataindsamling via spørgeskema- og interviewundersøgelse, samt supplerende kvalitative dataindsamlingsmetoder, for at opnå indsigt i både kvantitative og kvalitative aspekter af studerendes og underviseres vurdering af forløbet og metoderne. Undersøgelsen peger på at PBL-metoden kan give et fælles og udviklende afsæt for underviserne og danne basis for meningsfuldt gruppearbejde for de studerende. De studerendes aktive deltagelse stimuleres og den personlige feedback til de studerende, der arbejdes med i vejledningerne, er stærkt motiverende og engagerende. Samtidig opnår de studerende at tilegne sig en ny, og, for de fleste studerende, anderledes studielæringsmetode. Forumspillet anvendes som en del af et PBL-baseret undervisningsforløb. De studerende oplever denne læringsform som meget motiverende, specielt fordi den kobler teori og praksis. Forumspillet kombinerer teorien med mere personlige og følelsesmæssige aspekter, det skaber bevidsthed om egne følelser og opmærksomhed på betydningen af en anerkendende tilgang. Resultaterne viser at PBL med forumspil kan være relevante metoder at anvende i interprofessionelle undervisningsforløb hvor manglende motivation og ringe deltagelse blandt studerende er fremherskende.
Warming up for PBL: a course in mathematical modelling and problem solving for engineering students
Authors: Wedelin Dag , Adawi Tom
Published: July 2024

The step from traditional teaching to PBL is considerable and it has previously been proposed that students should be skilled at problem solving before entering a PBL course. In this paper, we first discuss some key ideas behind the design of a successful course in mathematical modelling and problem solving for engineering students. A central aim of the course is to help the students to understand the power of learning by exploration, a missing key component in the students’ ability to solve problems. We then discuss how this kind of course can serve as an intermediate step in a progression towards more self-directed project-based and problem-based learning.
The entrepreneurship concept – a short introduction
Authors: Hoppe Magnus
Published: July 2024

The article provides a historic description of how the entrepreneurship concept has developed and now through political initiatives is closing in on higher education. By providing different reference points the article shows that entrepreneurship is not bound to economics and business but instead display divergent meanings depending on context. The article discuss how governmental initiatives, following the policy development in EU and Sweden, has made entrepreneurship a highly contemporary issue for university staff but where the exact meaning of the term is obscured, leaving us unsure of the political agenda driving the implementation. What kind of change the on-going promotion of entrepreneurship in higher education will lead to is thus still to be revealed where the ambiguity of the term together with connotations of success and progression makes it hard to resist. University staff is therefore encouraged to reading up on the concept, where the article provides a short introduction that might serve as a start.

On the Assessment of Written Exams and Possible Bias due to Dynamic Rater Effects Emerging from Student Initials and Rater Fatigue
Authors: Månsson Daniel , Norgren Martin
Published: July 2024

In this paper the possibility of an existing bias, due to the order (here by the initial letters of the family names) in which the results of the students are judged, was studied. This would constitute of a dynamic rater effect of harshness, or leniency, towards the performance of these students due to rater fatigue. A substantial dataset, consisting of 12 years of written exams, for a course, for 2512 examinees, was mined and the results analyzed. The evidence points to the fact that the assessment procedure do not favor, or disfavor, the students with family names whose initial letters are placed late in the alphabet.
Att få ihop teorier, praktik och kritiskt tänkande i seminariet – ett topiskt förslag
Authors: Wolrath Söderberg Maria
Published: July 2024

Å ena sidan innebär högre utbildning en inskolning i en disciplins tankepraktiker – där teorier och begreppsapparater är en del. Å andra sidan är högskolans uppgift att utbilda kritiskt tänkande individer som kan tänka nytt och tänka om. Ibland kan man som lärare uppleva att dessa mål är svåra att förena. I denna artikel analyseras några olika utmaningar utifrån ett toposdidaktiskt synsätt som har utvecklats ur den retoriska läran om topos som är en pedagogik för perspektivbyte och perspektivering. Topos är de värden, begrepp och tankeoperationer som strukturerar olika språkliga praktiker. En vetenskaplig teori kan ses som en sådan språklig praktik. Att tillgodogöra sig en teori blir då att kunna delta i dess praktik genom att lära sig använda dess topos. Ett medvetet arbete med topos kan hjälpa studenten (och läraren) att organisera urskiljandet av möjliga perspektiv och göra tänkandet synligt och på så vis åtkomligt för problematisering och omprövning. I artikeln görs försök att exemplifiera hur detta skulle kunna ske i seminarierummet.
SeDiCreSig Method (See, Discuss, Create, Simulate, Generalize) to Improve Analysis Ability of Elementary School Teacher Students
Authors: Dwi Puspita Ryan , Rabbani Silvya
Published: July 2024

The low ability to analyze learning models will be an obstacle for PGSD (Primary School Teacher Education) students in choosing and implementing learning models that match the learning materials and student characteristics. To improve the analytical skills of PGSD students, the SeDiCreSig method was applied. This study aims to analyze the analytical skills of PGSD students regarding innovative learning models in mathematics in elementary schools (SD) using the SeDiCreSig method. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The population in this study are all 5th-semester PGSD students. The sample used in this study was 70 PGSD students divided into two classes taking the Mathematics Internship course. The data collection techniques used in this study were observation, pretest, and posttest. The data were analyzed by the SPSS 23-assisted t-test. The results of this study indicated an increase in the ability of PGSD students to analyze innovative mathematical learning models after learning using the SeDiCreSig method. The use of the SeDiCreSig method makes it easier for lecturers to direct students in practicing analytical skills and implementing innovative learning models, especially in learning mathematics. The success of learning the SeDiCreSig method must be supported by actual activities that students directly carry out.

The Relationship Between Self Efficacy, Learning Styles to the Learning Activeness of Prospective Teachers
Authors: Lestari Aruna Ngesti , Supartinah  , Kawuryan Sekar Purbarini
Published: July 2024

Active learning is a basic element that must be fulfilled to support the success of the learning process. However, student learning activeness has not emerged and the level of student self-efficacy is low and learning styles are varied. This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and learning styles on student learning activeness. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with a survey approach. The subjects in this study were social studies students in grades 4A and 4B, totaling 105 students. The data collection technique used is a questionnaire. While the data analysis technique uses the reliability test for normality test, T test, F test and hypothesis test. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between variables seen from the output on the T test and F test with a significance value of (2-tailed) 0.00 <0.05, so it can be concluded that there is a positive relationship between self-efficacy and learning style in student learning activity. Therefore, it is recommended that lecturers or teachers pay attention to each characteristic of each student, not only focusing on the material, but also on the active learning of each student, so that students can actively participate in learning and build enthusiasm and confidence in learning. In addition, it is necessary to have a learning support room that supports the learning style of each student, especially when studying in class.

Published: July 2024

Initial writing skills in elementary schools provide opportunities for students to build a solid foundation in writing. However, many students in elementary schools’ experience difficulties in developing initial writing skills, such as recognizing letters, forming words, and constructing coherent sentences. Lack of training and effective teaching leads to low student interest and motivation to learn to write. This study aims to analyze the role of teachers and parents in the success of teaching initial writing for second grade of elementary school students after doing online learning activities due to the covid-19 outbreak. This research was studied using a qualitative research method with a case study design. This research is based on primary data, namely second grade students and teachers, secondary data are field teachers who teach in second grade and vice principals of curriculum areas. Data collection technique used is interview (in-depth interview), observation and documentation. The data analysis technique used is Milles and Huberman which consists of data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Data credibility was also tested by means of triangulation of data sources. The research findings reveal that the first thing that needs to be understood in preparation for initial writing is students' motor readiness by continuing to practice writing pens, such as making straight lines, curves, etc. Teacher and parent assistance is optimized through WhatsApp Group by sharing educational videos about learning to write early. Appropriate teaching also gets good results with the ability of second grade of elementary school students to write meaningful and legible letters.

In the current era of digital technology development, free-access design platforms can be used in education as an alternative technology-based learning medium. Researchers found that in elementary schools, social studies learning still used conventional methods such as lectures and very rarely used instructional media, so students were bored while studying. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of using Storyboard That media on students' critical thinking skills on the material of the Proclamation of Independence. This study used the Storyboard That website along with 5 essay questions with a cognitive level of C4-C6 (analyze, evaluate, create). This research is a Quasi-Experimental with Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The number of samples consisted of class VI A totaling 22 students as the control class and class VI B totaling 22 students as the experimental class. Data analysis techniques consisted of prerequisite tests of normality and homogeneity tests and Independent Sample T-tests. The Independent Sample T-test data results on the pretest data were 0.539 > 0.05 and the post-test. (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05. So, it can be concluded that there were significant differences in students' critical thinking skills between the experimental group that used Storyboard That media and the control class that only used conventional lecturing methods. It is proven that Storyboard That encourages students to think critically through various visualization stimuli. This implementation allows teachers to use it as appropriate social studies learning media to improve elementary school students' critical thinking skills.
