  Denne studiens mål er å utvikle et praktisk-didaktisk rammeverk for å operasjonalisere og vurdere elevers kompetanse i kritisk lesing. I læreplanen Kunnskapsløftet 2020 framheves det at elever skal kunne stille seg kritiske til informasjonen de leser. Selv om det er bred enighet om at kritisk reflek-sjon over tekster er viktig, er det krevende å konkretisere hva kritisk kan bety. En del av arbeidet med å sikre at elever utvikler nødvendig lesekompetanse innebærer å utvikle vurderingsverktøy. Vurdering gir ikke bare informasjon om hva elever mestrer og ikke mestrer, men kan også modellere og konkretisere ulike tilnærminger til tekster. Det har riktignok vist seg å være utfordrende å vur-dere kritisk lesing, blant annet fordi begrepet er vagt og krevende å definere. I denne studien utfører vi en litteraturgjennomgang av skandinaviske studier som berører kritisk lesing i en utdanningskon-tekst, og fokuserer på lesing av sakprosatekster innenfor norsk og samfunnsfag. Gjennomgangen genererer en praktisk-didaktisk modell med mulige dimensjoner av kritisk lesing. I diskusjonen eksemplifiserer vi hvordan dimensjonene kan bli observerbare i vurderingssituasjoner i skolen og drøfter modellens begrensninger og praktiske nytteverdi.

  The Norwegian curriculum states that schools should enable students to apply their grammar competence in working with both written and oral texts. Oral and written texts are used in different contexts with different conditions for communication and are therefore characterized by different grammatical patterns. This study investigates the extent to which 31 persuasive texts written by Norwegian sixth graders contain typical ‘oral grammar patterns’, which most children have experience with. The data material was obtained from the Norwegian Norm Project (2012–2016). Our main findings are that the written texts contain typical oral grammar characterized by intricate clause complexes and few elaborated nominal groups. We discuss whether this oral writing style may be connected to the writing practices in the schools where the texts were collected and, more generally, to the Norwegian writing culture, where spoken language traditionally has been a model for writing.

  This volume addresses a gap in previous research and explores Nordic textbooks chronologically and empirically from the Protestant Reformation to our present time. The chapters are written by scholars from universities in Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, countries that distinguish themselves with a rich tradition of textbook research. The authors represent different academic traditions and use a wide range of scholarly methods and perspectives. The overall objective is to highlight how textbooks reflect national cultural politics and legislation. The various chapters cast light on how textbooks are integrated in national politics and demonstrate how they have contributed to nation-building and to strengthening the nations’ core values and other major political projects.

  This article presents a study of how teenage immigrant students, newly arrived in Norway, constructed themselves discursively through a number of identity texts. Drawing on theories from New Literacy Studies, Critical Discourse Analysis, and Social Semiotics, we analyzed a corpus of 97 multimodal identity texts. The study aimed to explore how the students contributed to their personal discursive construction in a society that was new to them. Our study showed that, while struggling with acquiring the dominant language, the immigrant students demonstrated linguistic and semiotic skills and talents. By analyzing the students’ use of linguistic and visual resources, we identified three main categories of identity construction in the students’ texts – spatial identity, relational identity, and functional identity. The analysis suggested that, in their identity work, the immigrant students simultaneously internalized and challenged dominant discourses of the globalized society.
