Methods:
Semi-structured interviews were conducted...
Objectives:
Adequate oral hygiene, i.e. self-performed infection control, is crucial to prevent periodontal disease. Epidemiological studies reveal poor oral hygiene conditions among Swedish adolescents and indicate a need for more effective prevention programs. The aim of the current study was to analyze adolescents' experiences of a person-cente...
This study explores teachers' reflections on the competences that come into play in technology-mediated teaching activities. Underpinned by educational design research, the collaboration between researchers and teachers followed a methodological design involving three iterative phases: (1) workshops in which teachers and researchers collaborated to...
Educational research has increasingly drawn attention to teachers’ professional digital competence.Various theoretical and methodological perspectives involving a plethora of terms are used to investigate teachers’ competences in relation to technology-based teaching. The concept of teachers’ professional digital competence still appears to be ambi...
The background of this article is an interest in analysing how assessment of professional skills is conducted in higher education contexts, drawing on video data from a course on maritime navigation. The empirical study focuses on a) how students working in a bridge simulator are able to display their knowledge about how to calculate the relation b...
The role that moderation plays in the effective functioning of online communities is relatively well studied in relation to both general free-time social media groups and discussion groups that are part of formal educational and professional learning initiatives. However, at the intersection of these domains, there are a growing number of large-sca...
Politically and economically the push for school digitization has been strong in Europe and other parts of the world. It forms part of a global technology market and platform economy where internet platform businesses (e.g. Google) make up the major part and reach into the core of schools’ everyday work. Further elevating this market governance is...
Digital teknologi associeras ofta med olika samhällstrender, som förändringar i arbets- och anställningsformer. Även i vissa traditionella högstatusyrken (som revisor-, advokat-och läkaryrket) tränger sig såväl digitalisering som automatisering in i det vardagliga arbetet. Nya former av digitalt arbete har uppstått som för tio år sedan skulle ha va...
Aim/Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate posts that deviate from the norm by receiving many more comments than likes in a teacher thematic Facebook (FB) group. Background Social media sites are currently becoming standard tools for professional practices. Swedish teachers use thematic FB groups as a platform for professional learning.
In Maritime Education and Training (MET) where students are trained for professions with
high standards of safety, the use of simulators is taken to provide opportunities for safe and cost-effective training. Although the use of simulators for training and certifying technical proficiency and so-called nontechnical skills is well established and re...
This study examines how a problematic work-related issue is raised in a large self-organized thematic professional Facebook group and how the topic is continued in the discussion that follows. Based on big data from a large corpus assembled through the Facebook Application Programming Interface, a unique case thread is selected for in-depth analysi...
This structured review examined (academic) publications on flipped or inverted
classrooms based on all Scopus database (n = 530) references available until mid-June
2016. The flipped or inverted classroom approach has gained widespread attention
during the latest decade and is based on the idea of improving student learning by
prepared self-studies...
The use of apps in preschool has increased considerably during the last few years. Studies have shown that digital technologies are sometimes used to replace analogue artefacts in educational settings. This calls for studies on how the use of apps transforms preschool activities. This study empirically investigates how preschool children play Memor...
In higher education programs that train students for professions with high standards of safety, such as aviation, shipping and healthcare, exercises in simulated environments provide opportunities for training in educational settings. This study explores the use of simulators in maritime education, taking an interest in how navigation training is a...
Objective: This paper reports on how the clinical consultation in primary care is performed under the new premises of patients’ daily self-reporting and self-generation of data. The aim was to explore and describe the structure, topic initiation and patients’ contributions in follow-up consultations after eight weeks of self-reporting through a mob...
Digital competence and digital literacy are concepts that are increasingly used in public discourse. However, how the concepts are used and how they are defined remains unclear. This paper presents a systematic review of research where these concepts are used in higher education research. The aim is to establish an understanding of referencing stra...
This study explores participation in a teacher self-organised profession-based Facebook group discussing the Flipped Classroom (FC) approach. Methodologically our findings are based on computational content analysis of group activity and accompanying in-depth analysis of the communication in selected discussion threads. The findings show that shari...
Maritime traffic, like most traffic, is rule-governed. In situations in which multiple vessels traffic the same waters, anti-collision regulations enable bridge teams to coordinate their actions with those of other vessels. In maritime education, simulators provide a safe environment for students to begin practicing the application of anti-collisio...
The background of this study is teachers’ increasing use of social media for professional learning. Swedish teachers often use thematic Facebook groups to discuss the subjects they teach, their approaches, methods and assessment. Although previous research has shown that teachers’ participation in social media has a positive impact on teachers’ pro...

The purpose of this study is to analyse how the participants adapt to such online environments in terms of the kind of discussions they establish. The more specific interest relates to how the participants discuss current work exp...
Aims:
The aim of this study is to scrutinize how different perspectives were brought into the discussions as the concrete design and use of a mobile phone application were introduced, and how participants anticipated and negotiated their own participation in the design project.
Methods:
This article reports results from an explorative study of a...
Hypertension is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke worldwide. Effective treatment regimens exist; however, treatment adherence rates are poor (30%-50%). Improving self-management may be a way to increase adherence to treatment. The purpose of this paper is to describe the phases in the development and preliminary evaluation of a...
This paper focuses on how people working in the Swedish food production industry engage in in-service training by means of computer-mediated communication. The empirical material consists of archived chat log files from a course concerning quality assurance and food safety hazards control in the preparation and handling of foodstuff. Drawing on Gof...
Within the research field of computer-mediated communication (CMC), extensive attention has been paid to the differences between CMC and spoken conversation, particularly in terms of sequential structure. In this study, the aim is to analyse how participants maintain continuity and handle discontinuities in institutionally arranged, computer-mediat...
People participate and learn in online communities. Through the use of the information and communication technology (ICT), participants in an Online Learning Community (OLC) collaborate on the basis of common interest to share knowledge and experiences.
