  A new national curriculum (LK20) was implemented in Norway in 2020, which integrates three cross-curricular themes: Public Health and Life Skills, Democracy and Citizenship, and Sustainable Development. The introduction of these three themes must be understood in the Norwegian national teacher education landscape due to their ability to shape societal development. Research has uncovered challenges and opportunities in teacher education such as teachers’ experiences of responsibility for deliverables that go beyond their competence. The Norwegian teacher program was elevated to a five-year master’s degree in 2017, underpinning the strength of a high professional standard and research-based teaching, and the close partnership with schools which enables innovative and interdisciplinary perspectives. To meet the increasing demands placed on teachers, the teacher education vision for the future needs to be adaptive and embrace the importance of a cross-curricular themes, to facilitate relevant student learning which will support students to face tomorrow’s challenges.

The relationship between perceived school stress and satisfaction with life among Norwegian school-based adolescents and the moderating role of perceived teacher care: a cross-sectional study. BMC Public Health. 24(1). doi: 10.1186/s12889-024-20246-w. Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Vis sammendrag

  Background - Perceived stress from schoolwork and perceived teacher care are shown to influence adolescents’ life satisfaction. However, there is a need to further explore how levels of perceived school stress affect life satisfaction of Norwegian adolescents across gender and school levels using nationwide data, and whether this association is moderated by perceived teacher care. Hence, this paper sought to: (1) describe perceived school stress, perceived teacher care and satisfaction with life in Norwegian adolescents stratified by gender and school level, (2) examine the association between perceived school stress and satisfaction with life by testing perceived teacher care as a possible moderator and (3) explore the association between perceived teacher care and adolescents’ satisfaction with life.<p> <p>Methods - We utilized cross-sectional data from the Norwegian Ungdata Survey from 2021, encompassing adolescents from lower and upper secondary school. Two-thirds of all Norwegian adolescents participated in the Ungdata Survey from 2021. All data is anonymous. The study variables are presented according to lower and upper secondary school as well as gender. Linear regressions were conducted and adjusted for socioeconomic status (SES) by using SPSS.<p> <p>Results - In total, 139,841 adolescents were included. Girls exhibited higher perceived school stress, lower perceived teacher care, and lower life satisfaction than boys in both lower and secondary school (all p < 0.01). Strong inverse associations on satisfaction with life were found in both genders in lower and upper secondary school among those who reported very frequent perceived school stress, with perceived teacher care moderating the relationship (B= -0.67; 95% CI [-0.70 to -0.65], P < 0.01]). Moreover, robust associations were unveiled between high and low levels of perceived teacher care and life satisfaction across gender and school level.<p> <p>Conclusions - Higher perceived school stress was strongly inversely associated with life satisfaction in Norwegian adolescents, in both girls and boys, and in both lower and secondary school. Teacher care was identified as a moderator and seems to play a crucial part in the everyday life of Norwegian adolescents. These implications extend to teacher education, practice, and policy, which should be aware of the pivotal role of perceived teacher care on Norwegian school-based adolescents‘ life satisfaction.

  Public service broadcasting is in the process of evolving into "public service media" as a response to the challenges of digitalization, intensive competition, and financial vulnerability. While many commentators regard public service as being in transition, a central dimension of its mission--to integrate and unify the nation while respecting and representing plurality--is being reemphasized and relegitimated in a political climate where the politics of migration and cultural diversity loom large in public debate. Through a series of thematic chapters and in-depth national case studies, "National Conversations" examines the reshaping of public service media and the concomitant development of new guiding discourses, policies, and program practices for addressing difference and lived multiculturalism in Europe.

  In this chapter we present the landscape of Norwegian journalism education, providing a closer look at the content of the studies, the connection to the industry and the students of journalism themselves. The description of the students is based on a dataset from a series of questionnaires administered between 2000 and 2004 to three complete cohorts of Norwegian journalism students at Oslo University College and Volda University College, the largest and oldest J-schools in Norway.

  The present article summarizes the findings of a survey among first-year journalism students in Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway. The survey covers a wide array of subjects including social recruitment, motivation for studying journalism, preferences regarding future journalistic working life, views on the role of journalism in society, attitudes toward the profession, journalistic ideals and ideas about what are the most important traits for journalists. The study reveals significant differences between journalism students in the Nordic countries. The analysis appears to support a "nation type" interpretation of attitudes among journalists, linked to different national traditions, in explaining the differences found. Our results clearly indicate the importance of traditional sociological explanations of behavior for the understanding of journalistic preferences and ambitions. For example, the choice of preferred topics is strongly gendered and appears as the sexual division of labor sublimated into journalistic preferences.

  This article examines Norwegian journalism students' views about their profession and education at different phases in their career and also outlines the social background of the new generation of journalists. The article presents key findings from several surveys of students conducted at the two most popular and prestigious journalism schools in Norway between 2000 and 2004. The main aim is to investigate any development in attitudes to different professional values between the beginning of students' studies through to their first years as working journalists. What do the journalists of tomorrow consider to be the most important tasks for journalism in society? What motivates them to study journalism? What kind of knowledge, skills and traits are seen as crucial for journalists? And to what extent do the J-schools actually make a difference in the shaping of the next generation of journalists? An important finding is that most professional attitudes seem to stay quite stable from the beginning of studies until early career, though the results also indicate a general decline in classical journalistic professional idealism after entering the newsroom.

  This paper presents selected findings from the Norwegian part of a major survey among Nordic journalism students from autumn 2008. This is a follow up of a previous survey from 2005 among journalism students in Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark (Bjørnsen et. al 2009). The paper will analyse the results from the Norwegian part of the study, including 508 Norwegian students in seven journalism educations across the country. It will also to some extent compare the results with findings from previous surveys among Norwegian journalism students in the period 2000-2004. Among the issues to be discussed are the students? motivation for the profession and their priorities in a future career. In previous surveys new digital media have been ranked at the bottom of the list of priorities, far below traditional media as national and regional newspapers and national radio and television (Bjørnsen et. al 2007). The hypothesis is that the change in the media economy and media market, with a setback for traditional media and growth in the digital media market will have an impact on the priorities for the future career plans. The purpose of the paper is also to shed light on what actually constitutes the professional identity among coming journalists.

  The rapidly changing circumstances that journalists work under have mainly been understood as organizational (referring to e.g. changes in ownership and workforce), technological (e.g. convergence/multimedial production) and political with less emphasis on the meaning cultural changes has for journalism. This article will investigate cultural changes in society as a context for journalistic production, with a specific focus on how the "new" multicultural Norwegian society influences and is made relevant for journalists in their daily work.

A field work in NRK is planned, as well as 10 interviews with editors and journalists (of both ethnic minority and majority backgrounds). A special attention will be paid to how journalists understand their function in multicultural society as part of the ?mission of journalism?. Another important perspective is to investigate what ?multicultural journalistic competence? consists of. Social anthropological theories are central in the analysis.

  What are the main similarities and differences between students of journalism in the Nordic countries? Is it possible to speak of a common Nordic ournalistic identity with common professional ideals and motives among the next generation of Nordic journalists? Are the differences found related more to national differences or to intra-national differences according to the various educational models for the schools? What about gender differences? Do such differences constitute a "constant" factor of difference in journalistic ideals and preferences across the nations, or do they vary? The data is based on a quantitative web survey of every new journalism student at 19 Nordic schools of journalism in autumn 2005, where 600 students responded (64% of the population). The main focus of the study is on the social recruitment, their motivations for studying journalism, their adherence to various journalistic ideals, their view on what a "good journalism education" should consist of, and their preferred future work place. The results are analyzed with reference to other international studies to provide a cross-cultural perspective.

  This paper summaries the findings from a major survey among Norwegian journalist students. The purpose of the survey is to answer the following questions: Who are the Norwegian journalism students? What motivates them for the profession? What role does journalism education play in the socialization of journalists? What constitutes the professional identity of coming and newly educated journalists? Do the newly educated journalists get jobs? The material is based on surveys that have been conducted at different stages of the students? career; at study arrival (three cohorts; conducted 2000, 2001 and 2004), completion of studies (two cohorts; conducted 2001, 2002) and approximately three years after completion (one cohort; 2004). The surveys include around 400 students at the two largest journalism teaching institutions in Norway. Since the same students are followed at different stages, the study allows analyses of changes in attitudes over time. The main focus will be on different aspects of the students? attitudes to professional values as they are manifested in e.g. views on the role of journalism in society and on what is understood as journalistic competency. The social recruitment of the students will be analysed within the framework of Pierre Bourdieu's theories of social action. The paper will also shed light on journalism education as an institution in itself. The paper will be based on selected parts of a Norwegian report from the project "Professional attitudes among journalism students". The results are analysed with reference to other international studies.
