Conditional Aspects of School-Home Conversations.
Vis sammendrag
This paper presents results from analysis of conversations between school and home, and the manner in which the participants (parent, teacher, pupil) comment on these conversations. The pupils (who are the focal point) have special educational needs. The results derive from observations of conversations at the lower secondary school level and interviews with the participants. The analysis is based on Habermas? (1984, 1987) theory of communicative action; analysing how the participants coordinate their actions (instrumental, strategic or communicative action) and make validity claims: the action must be true, right, truthful, or effective. The focus is the conditions in which these conversations take place and the discussion highlights questions like: How do the participants influence the results? Do the participants express their true opinions? What is the pupil?s role? The preliminary conclusions are that it seems reasonable to question if the conditions make it possible to accomplish dialogue between school and home, as the possibility of misunderstanding is certainly present.

Parental Voices in School-Home Cooperation: Exploration Through Concepts.
Vis sammendrag
Concepts develop through practice; however, according to Koselleck, concepts are also a factor in social practices. More precisely, the concepts used regarding contact between school and home are part of the conditions in which the contact takes place. They also influence this contact. The study therefore focuses on concepts used during this contact, the subsequent research question being the following: How is the contact between the professional and non-professional named and described by the parents (non-professionals)? The theoretical perspective is Koselleck's "begriffsgeschichte", and the analytical frame is: concept, semantic field and the oppositional pairs before/after, inside/outside, and up/down (Koselleck 2004, 1990). Focus is placed on exploring 1)how the non-professionals present themselves 2)the professionals and 3)the contact between them. This is also discussed with regard to how certain professionals present the concept of partnership. The non-professionals have one official voice called, "Foreldreutvalget for grunnskolen" (The National Parents' Committee for Primary and Lower Secondary Education), and the analysis is based on documents downloaded from their website. These documents are written sources, and the selected materials studied are original, previously articulated texts read and understood in a new way, or a "rereading" of the texts.

The Use of Case Studies in Training Vocational Rehabilitation Trainers.
Vis sammendrag
This paper presents experiences from a project which developed a Training Program and worked with case-stories as a basic method in the program. This was a Leonardo da Vinci pilot project, ?Train the Trainers in Vocational Rehabilitation? (TTT), contracted and run by Attføringsbedriftene. The case-study was both an educational method and a documentation of the Trainers? skills, and used after each module as final exam material. The research question in this paper is: How did case-studies contribute to fulfil the basic pedagogical principles for the project? The basic pedagogical principles for the project were defined as: 1. The arena for education is the workplace rather than the school, college, or university. 2.An inductive, participative approach, in contrast to a hypothetical, deductive approach, is of greater benefit. 3. Adults learn through practice and reflection on practise. These pedagogical principals follow the tradition from Freire (1997) regarding people/students working with each other and developing consciousness in order to act informed and transform reality. Schön?s (1995) concepts of reflection-in action and reflection on-action are central, and also Illeris? (2000) suggestion to widen the learning concepts because of the claim for competency in society today. The objective of the project TTT was to improve vocational rehabilitation services for the vocational disabled by enhancing the skill levels among the trainers in the sector. In this paper it is illustrated how the case-study became a strategy to develop skill levels by the trainers within vocational rehabilitation. The purpose of the paper is to show how case-studies can be used within similar programs, including delineating certain experiences from this approach to promote higher levels of learning among participants. The presentation of how to make a case-story into a case-study shows how the Trainers did research on their own practise. The case-study gave the Trainers new insight and understanding about their daily work and by this a further possibility to use their qualifications.

The contact between school and home: Transforming Concepts about "The Professional Conversation".
Vis sammendrag
The research question in the paper is: How is the contact between the professional and non-professional named and described? The theoretical perspective is Koselleck's (2004) begriffsgeschichte, who presents some concepts relevant for the study: Consept, semantic field and the oppositional pairs before/after, inside/outside, and up/down (Koselleck, 1990). The concepts on the contact between school and home are studied from both historical and international perspectives. The historical study is the Norwegian case where the development in the description of laws and bills is studied, from the first educational law passed in 1739 until today. The international study takes up the meaning two international researchers; Epstein (2001) from the USA, and Beveridge (2005) from England; put into the concept of "partnership"; a concept increasingly used about the contact between school and home. The immediate response is that this represents a new approach. The combination of the two perspectives could give clues if this response is correct or not. The study reveals that the concept of "partnership" as it is described by Beveridge seems to be similar to current legislation in Norway regarding key issues such as mutual responsibility, agreement as goal, and teacher, pupil and parents as the participating partners. The ideal for the conversation seems to be "communicative action" as described by Habermas (1984). Epstein describes a partnership more similar to the legislation in Norway in 1969; the concept "agree" is lacking and the partners are teacher and parent. The partnership as it is described by Epstein seems to lag behind the democratic development of the contact between school and home as it is described in school legislation in Norway, and also seems to have abandoned the traditional meaning of the concept as applied within economics. The conclusion of this study is that what appears like a new and innovative concept (partnership) does not seem to represent a new approach compared to how school legislation in Norway describes the contact between school and home. Rather it seems to be just a new shell for a similar description of the contact.

"Livsverden" som klargjørende begrep i foreldrekonferansen. "Lifeword" as explanatory concept in the school-home-conference.
Vis sammendrag
Ifølge offisielle dokumenter i Norge skal foreldrekonferansen i skolen karakteriseres av dialog. Forskning viser at foreldrekonferansen er karakterisert av informasjon og ikke av dialog, diskusjon og deltakelse. Jeg har definert et forskningsprosjekt basert på disse forskningsresultatene og anvender Habermas teori om kommunikativ handling som teoretisk perspektiv. Jeg ønsker å undersøke vilkårene for dialog i foreldrekonferansen. I dialogen kan en sette en distinksjon mellom formog innhold. I teorien om den kommunikative handling tilsvarer dette distinksjonen mellom formalpragmatikk og livsverden. Her presenterer jeg Habermas begrep ”livsverden” og hvordan ”livsverden” kan fungere som klargjørende begrep i foreldrekonferansen. Jeg argumenterer også for at dette er særlig viktig kunnskap for å forstå elever med spesielle behov. In Norway official documents tells that dialogue shall characterise the school-home conference. The latest researches in Norway tells that these conferences are characterised by information and not by dialogue, discussion and participation. This research is based on these results and will use the Habermas theory of communicative action as theoretical perspective and test whether or not the conditions for dialogue is present in the conference. Habermas himself argues that “lifeword” should be seen as complementary to the theory of communicative action. In the paper I will present Habermas concept “lifeword” and discuss how “lifeword” can function as an explanatory concept in the dialogue in the school-home conference. In the paper I will also argue that especially for pupils with special educational needs this is crucial knowledge.

Dialogens vilkår i foreldrekonferansen The conditions for dialogue in the school-home conference.
Vis sammendrag
Dialogens vilkår i foreldrekonferansen I ulike læreplaner for norsk skole har foreldresamarbeidet stått på dagsorden i mange år. Stortingsmelding nr. 14 om foreldremedvirkning i skolen sier da også at strukturene ligger der: ”Utfordringa er å fåsystemet til å fungere i praksis i det daglige og for alle”. Departementet legger til grunn at en bør utvikle videre de eksisterende samhandlingsmønstrene, slik at de kan bli kvalitativt bedre” (St. meld. Nr. 14 (1997- 1998). Dialog skal prege samarbeidet mellom skole og hjem. Skolen skal legge til rette for at barn og unge kan delta som aktive ansvarlige samarbeidspartnere i samsvar med alder og modenhet (St. meld nr. 29 (1994-95) og St. meld 23 (1907-98). Idealet som skisseres i ulike offentlige dokumenter for samtalen i foreldrekonferansen er som vi har sett dialog. Jeg vil her definere begrepet dialog i betydningen kommunikativ handling slik dette defineres av Habermas. Kommunikativ handling kjennetegnes av at alle deltakerne uten forbehold forfølger felles mål for at de skal oppnå en innbyrdes forståelse, en avtalt koordinering av de individuelle handlingsplanene. Sentrale deler av Habermas teori om kommunikativ handling (Habermas, 81) presenteres gjennom følgende punkter: -Handlingskoordineringens sentrale betydning -Resultatorientering vs. forståelsesorientering -Gyldighetskrav -Klassifikasjon av talehandlinger Med bakgrunn i Habermas teori om kommunikativ handling vil det være viktig å forstå dialogens vilkår i foreldrekonferansen. Dialogens vilkår kan en ifølge Habermas få tak i gjennom å kartlegge aktørenes oppfatning av egen hverdagspraksis. Sentale spørsmål i dette prosjektet er: Hva karakteriserer samtalen i foreldrekonferansen? Hvordan sammenfaller hverdagspraksisen for samtalen i foreldrekonferansen med dialog som ideal? Fra en formal pragmatikk til en empirisk pragmatikk Habermas tar selv opp spørsmålet om den formal-logiske pragmatikken kan anvendes som empirisk pragmatikk. (Habermas, 81). Hanmener at den formale pragmatikken som retter seg mot betingelsene for en innbyrdes forståelse synes å fjerne seg den faktiske språkbruken. Han hevder imidlertid at utgangspunktet for en empirisk pragmatikk, må være en formal pragmatikk. Dersom en ikke har et formalpragmatisk utgangspunkt vil en ikke kunne gjenkjenne språkets rasjonelle grunnlag i hverdagen. Men den formale pragmatikken må systematisk modifiseres. Med modifiseringer trekker jeg den konklusjonen at det er mulig å anvende den formalepragmatikken empirisk. Jeg ønsker å analysere samtalen ut fra de ulike handlingstypene Aktørene er her elev, lærer og foresatte. Her presenterer jeg kun kommunikativ handling innenfor den objektive verden som eksempler på sentrale spørsmål som er aktuelt å stille. Kommunikativ handling Konversasjon (Den objektive verden) Forholder aktørene seg kognitivt til saksforholdet slik det er i øyeblikket for å få fram det saksforholdet som samsvarer med de faktiske forhold, det som er sant? Presenterer aktørene sin forståelse av situasjonen? Er aktørene opptatt av å forstå situasjonen på samme måten? Gis aktørene anledning til å uttrykke enighet/uenighet i forhold til det som legges fram av de andre aktørene? Ivaretar aktørene sine mål kun i den grad de får aksept hos de andre aktørene? Har aktørene en felles situasjonsforståelse når samtalen er avsluttet? Oppfyller aktørene de gyldighetsfordringer som gjelder i den objektive verden; det vil si sannhet? The conditions for dialogue in the school-home conference. In Norway official documents tell that dialogue shall characterise the school-home conference. Recent research in Norway tells that these conferences are characterised by information and not by dialogue, discussion and participation. This rese

Artikkelen stiller spørsmålet om hva barnehagen gjør med det faktum at barn i dag vokser opp i et annet samfunn enn det vi som er voksne i dag vokste oppi. Baneheia barnehage benytter seg av "stemmer i tiden" til å utvikle barnehagen slik at den kan møt e barn og foresattes behov. De arbeider aktivt for å tilpasse barnehagen til den nye virkeligheten ved å tilby: Delte plasser og overnattinger, samtalegrupper for foreldre, nistefrie dager og middagsservering, plaskekurs og utedager, demokratisering, av delingsløs organisering og medbestemmelse. Baneheia banehage opplever i stor grad fornøyde brukere. Personalet mender at det i høy grad er et holdningsspørsmål i hvilken grad brukertilpasning er mulig å gjennomføre. De ønsker å fortsette på denne utvik lingen og barnehagen skal fokusere på den nye familiens hverdag og nye behov.

Ethical Dilemmas in School counseling.
Vis sammendrag
En teoretisk og praktisk beskrivelse: Etiske dilemma i pedagogisk-psykologisk rådgivning. Som pedagogisk psykologisk rådgiver er du del av et forhold som i minste fall består av en pp-rådgiver og en bruker. Selve konstellasjonen og omstendighetene rundt denne situasjonen tilsier at at pp-rådgiveren får innflytelse på den annens liv gjennom for eksempel testing, sakkyndighetsarbeid og rådgivning. Nesten alt arbeidet innenfor pedagogisk psykologisk tjeneste inneholder en etisk dimensjon. Som rådgivere må vi være oppmerksom på risikoen for å gjøre brukeren til et objekt for vår rådgivning. PP-rådgiveren må ikke ta selvrespekten fra brukeren. Frihet, ansvar og valg er essensielle forhold her. Det er nødvendig med et konstant kritisk blikk på ens egen praksis som pp-rådgiver angående følgende forhold ved vårt arbeid som pp-rådgivere: ¤ Intensjoner; motiver og intensjoner ved arbeidet ¤ Bevegelse; de mer eller mindre synlige sider ved arbeidet ¤ Konsekvenser; framtida, konsekvenser av de valg som er foretatt A theoretical and practical describing: Ethical Dilemmas in School Counseling As a school psychologist you are part of a human relationship that at least consists of the school psychhologist and the user (client). The constellation and the circumstanses in itself implies that the school psychologist can influence the users' life through for instance analysis, expert evaluation and counselling. Mostly all work in PPT, the school psychologist office, implies an ethical dimension. You must be aware of the risk of making the user an object in the counselling, the school psychologist must not take the self-respect from the client. Freedom, responsibility and choise are cruicial ethical questions here. It is necessary with a constant critical view on his/her own practice as a school psycologist conserning: ¤ intentions; motives and intentions with the work ¤ moovements; the more or less visible sides of the work ¤ concequences; future, consequences of the choices that have been taken

Challenging and dilemmatic dialogues. A study of conversations between teacher(s) and parents.
Universitetet i Oslo.
Vis sammendrag
The main research question was: How are the roles of teacher(s) and parents and their conversations described by the authorities and the parental organisation, and how is the ideal of dialogue described and practised by teachers and parents? The dissertation is in the form of four separate studies/papers. The overriding aim of Paper 1 is to elaborate on how the teacher and parent roles, and their conversations, are described in the first school legislation in Norway up to present-day policy. Paper 2 examines how parents describe their role, the teachers? role and their conversations. Paper 3 focuses on how the teacher?s and parents? conversations about pupils with special needs are affected by their notions of truthfulness. Paper 4 examines methodological challenges that arose in the sampling process in Study 3. Although the main theoretical reasoning is based on Habermas?s theory Koselleck?s, Goffman?s and Grice theoretical frameworks also generate the analytical categories of the thesis. I address the research question through analysis of historical legislative texts, policy documents from the parental organization ?Foreldreutvalget for grunnopplæringen?, and data from observations and interviews. The study provides additional insight into four main points. First, there is a strong focus on the description of dialogue as ideal for the conversation between school and home, whereas research illustrates that everyday life in school still appears to be struggling with how to put this ideal into practice. The findings offer some possible explanations as to why the ideal has not been realised. Study 1 finds that the democratic development in school blurs the roles of teacher and parents, where the teacher is subjected to cross-pressure because he/she is supposed to both fulfil democratic ideals and justify his/her practice. Furthermore, the documents in Study 2, written by the parents? own organisation, give conflicting signals on the roles of parents, the teacher and their conversations. Moreover, the empirical data from Study 3 indicate that the challenges evolve from characteristics of the conversation itself. The teachers? judgement capabilities are indeed challenged when they have to put the ideal of dialogue into practice. However, according to the findings in Study 3, the ideal of dialogue should also be questioned, and this is the second main result of the thesis. Teachers and parents do not think of the dialogue as an exclusive ideal. This is another possible reason why these conversations are not characterised by dialogue. Comparably, one potential interpretation of the findings in Study 2 is that one reason for the conflicting signals, as suggested by the parents? own organisation, is that the descriptions are somewhat unclear because the participants question whether dialogue should be the sole ideal. Third, the main results certainly confirm that the conversation between teacher and parents is challenging. This has been demonstrated in Study 1, focusing on the democratisation process in the school legislation and challenges to practise these ideals. The conflicting descriptions given by parents in Study 2 also point to a challenging area in which they have to manoeuvre. In Study 3, the findings show that the teacher?s professional judgement is repeatedly challenged. The difficult sampling process discussed in Study 4 also indicates that the conversation is perceived as a delicate setting. Foreldrekonferansen er den viktigste arenaen der hjem og skole samarbeider om enkelteleven. I avhandlingen fokuseres det på hvordan myndigheter og foreldreorganisasjon beskriver denne institusjonaliserte samtalen mellom lærer og foresatte og rollene i samtalen. Videre er fokus på hvordan idealet om dialog er beskrevet og praktisert av
