Jelena has contributed to an article which reports on the psychometric properties of the expectancy-value scale — an instrument intended to measure students' motivation in mathematics. More information on the study and its findings can be found underneath.
Two of our LEA members: Jelena and Xin have contributed to an article investigating contextual effects on students’ achievement and academic self-concept in the Nordic and Chinese educational systems. More information on the study and its findings can be found underneath.
ICILS-prosjektet har publisert sin informasjonsvideo. Se nettsiden til ICILS-prosjektet for å se videoen.
LEA ønsker Mark White velkommen. Mark er PostDoc på QUINT-prosjektet og har spesialisert seg på observasjonsinstrumenter som et verktøy for å forstå undervisningskvalitet. Han skal snart begynne i sin stilling som prosjektleder på TALIS-prosjektet og fortsetter samtidig å jobbe delvis i PostDoc stillingen.
LEA welcomes Xin Liu, who has started as a postdoctoral fellow with the MATHMot project. Her research focused on student, teacher, and school characteristics affecting academic performance, evaluating teacher effectiveness and instructional quality, and investigating relationships between working conditions and teacher well-being. Methodological issues, such as multilevel analysis, structural equation modelling, and longitudinal analysis are of interest to her.
Several LEA members associated with the national project "Kartleggingsprøver i regning" have attended the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Educational Assessment – Europe (AEA-Europe 2022). Our members contributed to the conference in the form of two poster presentations and a discussion group (see underneath for more details).
Three of our LEA members: Trude, Hege, and Anne-Catherine, have published an article in which they examine school factors related to declining performance in mathematics. Their study shows that declines in aspects of school climate and student self-concept were related to the declines in achievements from 2015 to 2019. More information on the study can be found underneath.
The International Handbook of Comparative Large-scale Studies in Education: Perspectives, Methods and Findings is published. This is a handbook containing a large body of knowledge about international large-scale studies, including underlying theories, historical and political perspectives, methodology, and findings from studies using large-scale data. LEA member Trude Nilsen edited the handbook together with Agnes Stancel Piatak from the IEA and Jan-Eric Gustafsson from the University of Gothenburg. Several LEA members contributed to the book. A list of chapters in which LEA members were involved can be found underneath.
I oktober gjennomfører PISA-gruppa kognitive laboratorier, der oppgaver til det innovative domenet i PISA 2025 prøves ut. Det innovative domenet er et fagområde som kommer i tillegg til lesing, matematikk og naturfag. I PISA 2025 heter området «Learning in the Digital World» og måler elevenes kompetanse i programmering og algoritmisk tenkning.
Gratulerer til Trude Nilsen som er en del av det nye Senter for fremragende forskning (SFF): CREATE – Centre for Research on Equality in Education. Trude skal være aktiv på CREATE som leder for en av fire strands.
Senteret har oppstart 1.juli neste år.
Marte Senneset har startet som doktorgradsstipendiat i matematikkdidaktikk hos PISA, og skal arbeide med elevers resonnering i matematikk.
LEA organisere en ny LEA seminar til høsten. Seminaret kommer til å bli på Thon Hotel og gå over to dager. Hovedfokus av seminar bli forskning. Begge et social og faglig program bli utlagt senere.
Several LEA members are collaborating across the Nordics to shed light on effective and equitable teacher practice in mathematics and science education. The Nothern Lights on TIMSS book is funded by the IEA and the Nordic Council of Ministers and is expected to be published in 2023.
Oleksandra Mittal has, together with her supervisors, published the first article of her PhD project. The article revolves around improving the effectiveness of PISA's HOMEPOS scale in capturing educational inequalities across heterogeneous student subpopulations in Norway and Sweden.
Cecilie weyergang har publisert en artikel som handler om ungdomsskoleelevers lesestrategier i møte med tekstoppgaver i samfunnsfag som krever en kritisk tilnærming.
Artikelen er publisert i temanummeret "Kritisk literacy på fagenes premisser" fra Acta Didactica Norden. Introduksjonsartikkelen til temanummeret ble skrevet av Tove Stjern Frønes og kolleger.
During the ECER 2022 conference, the members of network 9 - Assessment, Evaluation, Testing and Measurement - of the European Educational Research Association (EERA) elected Trude Nilsen as one of their new co-convenors.
LEA congratulates Trude Nilsen!
This study uses 2015 PISA data to examine the impact of a supportive climate using four aspects: teacher support, fairness, feedback, and class discipline. The results accentuate the importance of understanding supportive climates in a broader sense and the pertinence of stronger teacher–student relationships in enhancing educational outcomes.
The study was part of a special issue on leveraging large-scale assessments for effective and equitable school practices. The special issue specifically focused on the Nordic countries.
ICILS prosjektet har fått en ny kollega - Lava Dawood - som skal jobbe med kommunikasjon og innholdsproduksjon på ICILS. Lava har en bakgrunn i PR og kommunikasjon og har erfaring med innholdsproduksjon, kommunikasjon, og digital markedsføring.
LEA ønsker hjertelig velkommen til Lava!
Tidsskriftet Acta Didactica Norden markerer sitt 15-årsjubileum med lanseringen av temanummeret: Kritisk literacy på fagenes premisser og tar med dette tak i skolens oppdrag med å danne kritiske borgere. Artiklene i nummeret viser hvordan kritisk tenking og kritisk literacy blir forstått forskjellig i de ulike fagene.
Våre LEA-medlemmer har vært engasjert i temanummeret. Tove Stjern Frønes som redaktør og Cecillie Weyergang har skrevet en artikkel.
