Samfunnsfagene i norsk skole har fått nye læreplaner gjennom Kunnskapsløftet 2020 (LK20). I dette læreplanverket har bærekraftig utvikling blitt sentralt, både som et tverrfaglig tema og som et kjerneelement i læreplanene for samfunnsfag. I denne artikkelen skisserer vi prosessen som førte fram til Kunnskapsløftet 2020 og beskriver oppbygningen av...

Praktiske erfaringer er en viktig kilde til sakkunnskap i samfunnsfag på småskoletrinnet. 97 prosent av elevene har 2–5 års barnehageerfaring når de begynner på skolen, og innholdet i barnehagehverdagen har betydning for skolestarternes erfaringsrikdom. Styringsdokumentene legger premisser for barns tilgang til slike erfaringer, og artikkelens prob...

The article “Mixed methods – a strategic combination of methods in an under-researched field of study” explores the research project “Minority religions in the Early Childhood Education and Care” (MinRel) as an example of mixing methods in ECEC-research. The researchers planned a two sequential, explanatory design moving from a survey to interviews...

The Norwegian Framework Plan for Early Childhood Education and Care, ages 0-5, provides seven learning areas which correspond to school subjects. The learning area corresponding to social studies has process aims and requirements within the field of Human Rights Education. A general understanding of the obligation to and content of Human Rights Edu...

Published in Nordidactica - Journal of Humanities and Social Science Education (2019:3). The topic of this article is subject-specific didactics for social studies and religious education for the lower primary level. Since 2017, teacher education for the compulsory education in Norway is extended to a master’s degree and ”initial education” is mad...

Alle barn skal bli ansvarlige medborgere i et mangfoldig samfunn, slik kan formålet med utdanning fra barnehage til skole spissformuleres. Det er ikke små ambisjoner samfunnet har for barnehagen som samfunnsinstitusjon. Barnehagelæreren har faglig lederansvar i barnehagen. Hun har ansvaret for at avdelingen arbeider i henhold til samfunnsmandat og...

Mastering argumentative writing is a prerequisite for success in higher education. This study explores the degree to which a sample of Norwegian students in Preschool Teacher Education have been taught argumentative writing at earlier stages of their education, and the challenges they face when discussing topics in social sciences in writing. The f...

In this book, we have argued that one of the roles of the librarians should be to work in partnership with research personnel and contribute to the level of excellence in scholarly research. Communication makes for better understanding between researchers and librarians. When the researchers understand what the library can and cannot offer, they kn...

In this chapter, a distinction is made between formal and informal communication. Formal communication is agreement between library management and faculty that ensures library research support services are offered to postgraduate students and other researchers. Informal communication is the communication between liaison librarians and postgraduate...

Research is deeply founded in previous research. One of the main goals of research is to bring forth new knowledge. Therefore, a researcher must be informed about what has been published in the past.

This chapter shares experiences from both authors as they embarked on their new jobs. The headlines are divided into the experiences of the postgraduate student (Kari-Mette) and the librarian (Hilde). The librarian has also attempted to apply theories of librarianship to the experiences of the postgraduate student. This approach has been made to ac...

As this book has pointed out, communication and collaboration go together to develop research support services. The librarian's role has shifted over the last 30 years. From a focus on organisers and locators when the library users visit the library, a focus on counsellor functions that follow library users throughout the research process has emerg...

This chapter will provide some suggestions for further reading. Some of the works mentioned in this chapter have been used in previous chapters as sources for other themes. They are mentioned again in this chapter as they can function as introductions to wider themes or more specified ones.

The users' expectations to what the library is and what it can offer researchers will depend on many things. First, it is important to be aware that researchers are adult, not immature, learners. Although pedagogics is applied to facilitate the learning of children, the study of how adults learn is called andragogy. There are some key differences b...

Research support is difficult to define because it can be many things. The library is a support service as such, and all services enabling researchers to spend more time on actual research and less time on administrative tasks could be regarded as research support. Other things, like funding, are also an important part of research support. All thin...

This chapter presents first-hand experiences from a postgraduate student and a liaison librarian as they started out in their new roles. As this chapter illustrates, postgraduate students face a lonely workday with many uncertainties. Providing a social and professional network to this group of researchers will be appreciated by most postgraduate s...

Different fields of research have different methodologies, interests and traditions. These differences undoubtedly affect how research is conducted, and how and when the researchers use the library. The arts and humanities still rely greatly on monographs and print books, and will thusly use the library building more. This is highlighted in the rep...

In recent years the librarian's role as a teacher has been discussed in library research. Now research support is emerging as a new focus. As library services are made more available to the users, the librarian can take on a new role as part of research environments and research groups. Librarians take on a new position away from the traditional ci...

Research support of high quality requires familiarity with the research process. As many liaison librarians do not have a PhD degree, this knowledge must be obtained in other ways. It may be through conversations with or observations of researchers' information behaviour. As research is becoming more interdisciplinary, liaison librarians must adjus...

New Roles for Research Librarians: Meeting the Expectations for Research Support presents strategies librarians can use to adapt to the new conditions and growing expectations that are emerging from students and researchers. Even if they have never completed a PhD, or even been engaged in independent research themselves, this book will provide a ne...

Sammendrag The Kindergarten Framework Plan presupposes that children learn to know and respect all represented religions and worldviews as aspects of Norwegian culture. Recognition of religious festivals is a key method towards this aim. Based on a regional, mixed-methods empirical study, this article discusses kindergartens’ work with minority re...

Based on the religions represented in the children's group, Norwegian kindergartens are required to have activities related to religious festivals. The requirement is aiming both on mutual interest, respect and tolerance between the children and on the recognition of the life world of the children affiliated with the religion in point. The study de...

In this study, the process leading up to the adoption of the Norwegian Same-sex marriage laws is taken as an example of how normativity is institutionalized in a field related to the religious dimensions of life, in a pluralized society. A comparative analysis of interpretations of the personal identity and the norm for the primary human affiliatio...

The article compares the Bible's role in the Lausanne Pact, Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenza's feminist theology and Robert C. Neville's theology as symbolic engagement. I artikkelen sammenliknes Bibelens rolle i Lausanne Pakten, Elizabeth Schüssler Fiorenzas feministiske teologi og Robert C. Nevilles teologi som symbolsk engasjement.
