Projects

Current project:

RENO (Reforming Education NOrway) https://www.uib.no/iped/138480/reforming-education-norway-reno

 

Previous projects:

Norwegian educational policy (NOREDPOL) - Politicians and policymakers in countries across the globe tend to describe the challenges for the educational sector and the policy initiatives confronting these challenges in similar terms. Although policy rhetoric appears to be globalized, the question whether the policies themselves also are globalized in the sense that they are understood and implemented in the same way nationally and locally remains to be investigated more closely.  This project consequently take Norwegian educational policy initiatives, values, arguments and discourses as a point of departure and explore the connection between these and a) what could be described as global policy and b) various local educational policy practices. The project is addressing the way educational policy is shaped and enacted in relation to knowledge and competence development, diversity, inclusion, democratic education and educational identities.

”Knowledge working” - This project investigates how various formal and informal practices facilitate learning, knowledge development and knowledge transfer in knowledge intensive organisations. The project focus on characteristics of practices that are conducive for knowledge development and learning and how these practices are perceived by leaders and employees.

 

PhD-project: Narrative construction of Teacher Identity. This project investigates how teacher identity is narratively constructed by several actors, such as teachers, policy documents and The Union of Education Norway. Conceptual framework and methodological approach is informed by poststructuralist, narrative and discursive perspectives.
