title: Norwegian Deaf Students' Concept Formation in the Subject of Physics, 1999

description: The purpose of this project was to examine deaf teachers' own assessment of the physics classes they took during high school, to find possible causes of how they developed a solid conceptual structure in the subject from such a weak foundation. In 1988 and 1989 the first deal Norwegian pupils completed the full examination and graduated high school at a sign language school. Out of 8 students, 6 chose physics as a specialization subjuct. From these 5 went on to become teachers. At the same time another deaf student went to a technical college and later completed an exam to become a teacher. Of these 6 deaf teachers, 5 were able to participate in the study. The interviewer / project leader was their former physics teacher. The interviews were open conversations with the interviewees concerning subjects that they were made aware of in a letter before the interview took place. One of the interviews was with one interviewee and the other two were with two interviewees at the same time. The interviews were conducted in sign language and were filmed and translated to Norwegian by the interviewer. The written interviews were sent to the interviewees with the original video footage for approval of the translations and to give them the opportunity to add/subtract/change anything (No changes were made). Main findings: The interviewees pointed out that the teaching of deaf students has changed dramatically since they went to elementary school. They even noticed this when they started high school. There were expectations and had to participate in daily discussions because this contributed to achieving good academic results. A systematically structured teaching plan that emphasizes understanding concepts and the connections between them is important. The discussions in their own language, sign language, were also important and the development of a scientific terminology that happened in these classes had an impact on their understanding of concepts. Using experiments as an experience foundation for understanding was also important

title: Evaluation of Settlement and Integration Processes in Region West, 1989

description: The purpose of "Evaluation of Settlement and Integration Processes in Region West, 1989" was to evaluate the processes related to the settlement and integration of refugees in municipalities in Region West. The main purpose of the survey was to look at the differences between centrally located municipalities and rural municipalities. The main part of the project was based on a questionnaire directed towards settled refugees, and the results of the research therefore refers to their subjective evaluation of their own integration or equal opportunities. The large city municipalities offered many activities, such as adapted Norwegian language training, work market courses, larger concentrations of countrymen etc. Yet, they scored well below average in our assessment of the degree of integration because of the high level of unemployment among refugees, the large number of people who were dependent on social security benefits, because they had little contact with Norwegians or because of a low level of well-being. Negative sides like these were on the other hand, also something that affected Norwegian inhabitants living in larger city municipalities. Municipalities with medium-sized cities offered refugees a certain amount of activities, as well as having a size that made the city lucid and it provided anonymity. Despite that the measurements of work and economy and Norwegian language level were low, it could look like positive social sides, as contact with Norwegians, other immigrants and own countrymen, compensated for possible poor language skills, unemployment and poor economy. Municipalities with smaller towns or larger villages shared many of the same conditions as medium-sized cities, and scored well on the index because of a concurrence of positive factors. The most conclusive one was maybe the access to work and all the positive effects that followed. The rural municipalities that by many, has been viewed as the least attractive alternative for settlement, scored well above average. Despite little contact with own countrymen and other immigrants, there seemed to be a lot of social factors that compensated for this, for example work and economy and contact with neighbours and other Norwegians. With the survey we've tried to underline the necessity of viewing settlement and integration as a whole process consisting of several components. We wanted to find out which of these components that were most prominent in each of the municipalities.
