The research on one-to-one computer learning settings shows what students do while using computers and how much they use them. It is believed that students are highly motivated by having computers of their own and show improved grades, but few studies can confirm this belief. This study investigated the experience of knowledge formation amongst…

Sandberg, Fredrik; Fejes, Andreas; Dahlstedt, Magnus; Olson, Maria – Adult Education Quarterly: A Journal of Research and Theory, 2016
We argue that municipal adult education (MAE) can be seen as a place for displaced and abnormal citizens to gain temporary stability, enabling their shaping into desirable subjects. Drawing on a poststructural discursive analysis, we analyze policy texts and interviews with teachers and students. Our analysis illustrates how two distinct but…

Ramstedt, Madeleine; Hedlund, Tomas; Björn, Erik; Fick, Jerker; Jahnke, Isa – Education Inquiry, 2016
A range of factors can lead to situations where university courses have to be taught with a very small number of students. In this paper, we report on our experiences of a chemistry course that was especially designed to encourage learning in small groups of students (four to five per course). The course design included inquiry-based approaches,…
