In this article, we approach large questions regarding justice and equality in the Nordic classrooms. A substantial body of previous research emphasises the importance of student engagement in teaching and learning. Drawing on video data from Norway, Sweden and Finland, we focus on whole-class teaching, i.e. situations in which the teacher addresses the class from the front of the classroom, to investigate justice trough participation. We have approached our topic through two concerns: student participation in classroom discourse and student engagement as providing access to content. Our findings seem to pose some serious challenges for the Nordic welfare society vision of classrooms as core societal hubs for justice and equality. While whole-class teaching is one of the primary tools available for attempting to achieve justice and equality for all, this interaction format seems to contain inherent constraints that do not support equitable student engagement. Further, the way the Nordic classrooms have responded so far to the massive digitisation in their societies seems to pose serious questions rather than provide comforting answers.

SYNTEQ Coding workshop.
Vis sammendrag
The first day of the conference featured a workshop where researchers applied a coding framework of their choice a video recording from a Nordic classroom, borrowed from the LISA Nordic study. Participants presented their framework and their findings to their workgroup. A total of 12 different frameworks were applied to footage from either a Language Arts or a Mathematics classroom, and were then discussed by the researchers in the group.

What shapes classroom discourse in the mathematics classrooms? A study of instructional practices, meta-rules and teacher perspectives.
Vis sammendrag
This study combines teacher perspectives with observed practices to gain understanding of
what shapes student opportunities to participate in classroom discourse in four Finnish lower
secondary mathematics classrooms. Opportunities to participate in discourse are analyzed
with three different lenses; teachers’ instructional moves, meta-discursive rules, and teacher
perspectives. The data consists of video-recordings from a week of instruction in four 9th
grade math classroom and teacher interviews. The analyses show how meta-discursive rules
of discussion together with instructional moves shape what kind of opportunities students
have. Some teacher moves and meta-rules enable participation while other constrain
opportunities to participate. The teachers however mostly see student attributes as constraints
for participation. Another key finding is that the teachers vary in what they perceive as
‘participation’, and how they engage students in discourse align with their views of
participation and student needs. The present study thus problematizes the relationship
between teachers’ enacted practice and their perspectives, which previous research often has
found to disagree. The study intends to raise awareness among teachers and teacher educators
of how instructional practices, meta-discursive rules and teacher perspectives of student talk
relate to student opportunities to engage in content related discourse, which may limit or
enable learning opportunities.

Mathematics Instruction in Norway and Finland: Representation of Content.
Vis sammendrag
Results were presented from an ongoing video-study of a sample of Norwegian and Finnish secondary mathematics classrooms. Key findings were that in both context teachers focus mostly on procedural explanations and give less attention to conceptual understanding. However we found that teachers' representation of content in the Finnish sample to a higher degree explicitly tied old and new mathematical content and framed the content as learning goals.
