Overview
PLICTe comprises classroom and school case studies on productive learning in digital environments. The project focuses on interactions between technology, school subject and collective learning processes.
Aims
The project aims to
- illuminate productive interactions for learning with new technology
- follow educational practices over time co-designed by researches and teachers
- inform teachers and school leaders about their practices
Methods
PLICTe is a design-oriented research project following school planned changes or interventions co-designed by researchers and teachers. Prime attention is given to classroom studies in Mathematics, English as a foreign language, Norwegian literature and Media and Communication. Research on school leadership, self-evaluation and team work among teachers are also being implemented. Participant observation, video-data and interviews are main data sources.
Partners
Teachers and leaders at Ullern Upper secondary school.
The project includes six research partners at Intermedia: Andreas Lund, Ingvill Rasmussen (post.docs) working with Wiki in English as a foreign language, Svein Olav Norenes (research associate) researching Wiki in Mathematics, use of Videopaper as a tool for collective learning among teachers (in companion with Trond Eiliv Hauge), Thomas de Lange (PhD) studying practices in Media and Communication, Kari Anne Rødnes (PhD) studying the teaching of Norwegian literature and Jostein Espenes (MA) studying use of ICT in school self-evaluation.
