Välkomna till terminens första forskarseminarium för yrkesdidaktik och yrkesutbildning!
Den 8 mars kl. 10.15-12 får vi besök från Jan Axelsson, Karlstads universitet.
Sammansvetsande yrkesämnesdidaktik – en studie om transformation, variation och interaktion i svetsundervisning
Jan Axelsson, Karlstads universitet, presenterar sin licentiatuppsats som är resultaten från ett praktiknära forskningsprojekt i verkstadsmiljö på gymnasiet. Projektet drevs i samverkan mellan forskare och yrkeslärare på ett industritekniskt program med inriktning svetsteknik. Presentationen behandlar hur transformation av ämnesinnehåll och yrkeskunnande blir till undervisning där den tentativa undervisningsteorin CAVTA (Conversation Analysis and Variation Theory Approach) används. Utifrån konkreta exempel visas hur lärare systematiskt utvecklar sin undervisning genom att synliggöra ett lärandeobjekt och dess förväntade kritiska aspekter, samtidigt som elever ges möjlighet att i interaktion med lärare uppvisa sin förståelse för det som ska läras. Presentationen avslutas med en kort information om det av Skolforskningsinstitutet finansierade forskningsprojektet Yrkesämnesdidaktiska förhållningssätt. Detta projekt påbörjades 2023 och det syftar till att utveckla undervisning i andra yrkesämnen än svetsning.
Seminariet kommer som vanligt att vara i Blackbox, D-huset, och vi börjar kl. 10.00 med att vi bjuder på smörgås. Det går även bra att delta på zoom (kontakta sofia.nystrom @ liu.se för länk)
15 feb, kl. 10-12 kommer Niels van der Baan, från Maastricht University berätta om sin avhandling: Facilitating the education-to-work transition: Coaching for employability unravelled , samt hur det är att disputera i Nederländerna.

After graduation, many higher education students will take their first steps into the world of work. Making this transition can be challenging as graduates leave behind the relatively stable and known context for a context that is more dynamic and sometimes even unknown. Consequently, many graduates leave their first job due to feelings of unpreparedness. Graduates leaving their first job has severe consequences for the individual (i.e., psychological distress and financial insecurity), the organization (i.e., costs), and society (i.e., (youth) unemployment). This thesis explores how higher education prepares students for their education-to-work transition and proposes coaching as a valuable and effective pedagogical intervention to facilitate students’ transition to the workplace. Results suggest that coaching in higher education increases students’ employability, necessary for a successful transition. In addition, coaching in higher education teaches students reflective skills, allowing them to continuously develop themselves at the workplace and engage in lifelong learning.

Invitation to Research seminars online
Dear colleagues,
Two of the research seminars of our research group VETYL (Vocational Education & Training/ Yrkeskunnande och Lärande) this spring term 2024 are open to all our network colleagues who might be interested to attend online.
Enligt SCB råder stor brist på yrkeslärare. De skriver:
Antalet barn och ungdomar ökade starkt under 2010-talet. Denna ökning har nu avstannat och antalet barn och ungdomar bedöms totalt sett vara ungefär lika många år 2040 som i dag. Efterfrågan på utbildade lärare väntas trots det öka framöver. Det beror på ett antagande om att alla lärare ska ha lärarexamen framöver.
Med dagens utbildningsdimensionering beräknas det totala antalet utbildade lärare vara i stort sett oförändrat fram till år 2040. Det finns därför risk för fortsatt brist på flera lärargrupper under prognosperioden. Bristen bedöms bli störst för yrkeslärare.
Nedan följer en vidarebefodrad konferensinbjudan, där det femte temat för konferensen “School & work and the role of teachers in Vocational Education and Training” torde vara av särskilt intresse.
The event will take place from May 29th to June 1st, 2024 at the University of Bergamo and is promoted by the CQIIA (Centre for Teaching Quality, Teaching Innovation and Learning) and the Department of Human and Social Sciences.
The conference will be organised in 5 parallel thematic sessions with the following thematic focuses: 1. Teacher education and pedagogical perspective in uncertain times: history, theory, policies and practices; 2. Digital innovation and artificial intelligence (AI): schools, teachers and students between real and virtual world; 3. Inclusion in teaching and learning processes and school improvement; 4. Teaching and learning challenges and professional development; 5. School & work and the role of teachers in Vocational Education and Training.
It is possible to submit a proposal either as an ‘oral presentation’ or as a ‘poster’.

Call for papers
We invite you to submit an abstract for the 10th Nordic Conference on Adult Education and Learning which will be held from the 22nd to the 24th of May 2024 in Reykjavík, Iceland, under the theme:
Shaping Futures, Empowering Lives: Adult Learning at the Heart of Flourishing for Individuals and Societies
This conference is a vibrant meeting point for researchers, policymakers, organizational leaders, and practitioners. Through a series of plenary sessions, paper presentations, roundtable discussions, and informal networking breaks, we will delve into the central role of lifelong learning and adult education to empower citizens to lead fulfilling lives, overcome challenges, and collectively foster resilient societies in the face of global challenges.
As we cast our gaze towards the future, we recognize that learning, humanity’s success strategy, will assume an even more central role in our daily lives. However, we must also acknowledge that adult education and learning have often been relegated to a remedial role, used to ‘fix’ issues rather than being integrated seamlessly into our everyday activities.
This conference is not just a gathering, but an opportunity for introspection and growth. It provides us with a unique opportunity to reflect on the insights gained by researchers and practitioners in the field, refine our methodologies, and chart new paths. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that the individuals and communities we serve are equipped with ample opportunities for lifelong learning. Let’s embrace the power of education and learning to shape our future together.
Venue: University Iceland, School of Education. v/ Stakkahlíð, Reykjavík
Organizers: University Iceland, School of Education.
Guidelines for abstracts: Submit an abstract of a maximum of 400 words, excluding your contact information, no later than 01.03.2024. Please follow the format below. You will be informed regarding acceptance by 15.03.2024
Submissions are entered in the OxfordAbstracts portal. Link coming soon.
Three types of entries: Papers, Symposia, Roundtables
Paper presentation
A paper presents ongoing or completed research. An abstract for the paper presentation should:
Describe the purpose of the research – specify what methodology is used for the research
Report key findings of the study
Infer from the results
Reflect on its relevance for Nordic adult education and learning research
The abstract should not be longer than 400 words.
The organizing committee will group papers into several sessions, each comprising a maximum of three papers, with oral presentations and discussions of papers. The time allotted for each paper will be 30 minutes:
20 minutes for a presentation by the author(s) and 10 minutes for discussion.
Symposia
We invite proposals for symposium sessions. A symposium session presents papers focused on a common theme and is proposed and planned by a symposium organizer. A symposium has a chair (often the organizer) and one or more discussants who have read the papers in advance. Some symposia will overlap more than one session. The symposium organizer will decide how the symposium will be organized and the time to be allotted for each presentation. It is recommended that at least two different countries/national perspectives be represented in the symposium.
The organizer of the symposium should submit a symposium proposal with a plan for the symposium and indicating all the following elements:
The title of the symposium
An abstract outlining the theme for the symposium as a whole (400 words or less)
A Chairperson and a Discussant, who can offer a critique of the symposium, need to be named on the proposal.
Moreover
The paper presentations will be individually entered into the abstract portal by each presenter and linked to the symposium.
The organizer of the symposium is responsible for communicating with the contributors and the conference organizer.
Roundtable discussions
We also welcome proposals for roundtable sessions. A roundtable session is a forum for presenting and discussing developmental work and research plans. Roundtable sessions are intended for focused, small-group discussions of research in progress, practitioner experiences, educational development initiatives, and institutional effectiveness and improvement issues. It is recommended that at least two different countries/national perspectives be represented in the roundtable session.
The organizer of the roundtable session should submit a proposal with a plan for the discussion that includes all the following elements in a single document:
The title of the roundtable
An abstract describing the focus and purpose of the session and ways in which participants will be engaged (400 words or less)
The names of the contributors and titles or short descriptions of their individual presentations (400 words or less in total)
Practical information about the conference
The conference website will be up and running at the beginning of the year
We expect the conference cost to be similar to the last time in 2022
