Elever på alle klassetrin havde i en periode ugentlige samtaler på engelsk af minimum fem minutters varighed med en lærer i Kenya. Den didaktiske rammesætning rettede sig mod, at eleverne udviklede et funktionelt mundtligt engelsk. Elever på alle niveauer udviklede deres mundtlige engelsk, samtidig med at et positivt forhold til det engelske sprog og til at anvende engelsk blev opbygget. Eleverne udviklede desuden selvforvaltning og modenhed. Forsøget skabte desuden professionsudvikling hos deltagende lærere. Læs mere

Rapporten er skrevet på baggrund af spørgeskemaundersøgelse blandt undervisere, og et enkelt fokusgruppeinterview med studerende med grønlandsk baggrund. Konklusionen er, at universitetet ikke har en samlet strategi, men at der har udfoldet sig en mangfoldighed af didaktiske løsninger af fjernundervisningen. En konklusion er, at der skete en polarisering af studerende: Fagligt stærke studerende tog ansvar, hvor fagligt svage studerende blev fraværende. En konklusion er, at studerende oplevede, at blød kommunikation og værenhed i tilstedeværelsesundervisning ikke optrådte i fjernundervisningen under nedlukningen. Læs mere

Ved at bygge på erfaringer og viden fra pædagogisk forskning i fjernundervisning på Institut for Læring, Ilisimatusarfik/Grønlands Universitet, vil pædagogiske forhold ved anvendelse af telemedicin blive præsenteret og diskuteret. Kapitlet henvender sig til alle med interesse for telemedicin, herunder plejepersonale og sygeplejerskestuderende, som inspiration og som pædagogisk værktøj til fortsat at udvikle og afprøve løsninger med telemedicin.

Data from work on Grounded Theory is used to investigate ways of utilizing distance teaching in the school. The analysis draws on a prevalent perspective on distance teaching as providing access to education. The perspective combines with Michel Foucault’s concept of “governmentality”. I will show how progressive possibilities are not necessarily to be found in ICT-driven distance teaching. Pedagogical drivers operate behind the choices of ICT equipment and ICT solutions which, in this case, brings ICT under the command of a less progressive pedagogical agenda. As I will show, the commitment from the municipality and from the teachers was to use distance teaching and ICT for conventional schooling. The case lays the ground for a discussion on the progressivity of distance teaching and the use of advanced ICT solutions in schools. My aim with the paper is to add to the understanding of the scope of distance teaching in schools. Does ICT and distance teaching serve progressive ends per se? What do we learn about distance teaching from this setup in the school in Greenland? Læs mere

Uddannelsessystemet reagerer med vrede, fornærmelse og straf, når studerende plagierer sig gennem eksamen. I stedet burde det se indad. For de unges adfærd drives frem af et system, der har en gammeldags instrumentel holdning til viden og vidensdeling.

Assignments, projects and results from the pupils where distributed through the use of iPads and internet. An important part of the didactical design was small workbenches and selected tools developed for the project to frame and support sloyd as distance teaching. The teaching took place october- december 2018. The didactical design has been working very well. On request from the local headteacher the sloyd distance teaching will continue. Following Øgaards research, distance teaching in schools is studied for progressive and didactical developmental components. Distance teaching is usually associated with high priority school subjects like math and language. Choosing sloyd as a subject for distance teaching is, beside support of sloyd as a school subject, also an effort to stretch and challenge the possibilities with distance teaching in schools, for its support of didactical and pedagogical development.
