project From chaos to knowledge  background  models  tools  setting

project: background From chaos to knowledge  spearheaded by NSD in co-operation with HEMIL-centre The Educational Department at Bergen University College  funded by ITU and one of the main projects for the period ranging between  the primary goal: Develop and evaluate learning effectiveness of two pedagogical-technologocal model, based on Problem-based learning  students as researchers

project: models Interactive whiteboard model (ITM) Project work model(PAM)

project: tools  NSDstat school Statistical software nsd  Window towards the Society 1 ICT-based learning package nsd  Internet

project: setting  12 secondary and upper-secondary schools in Hordaland County  subject domain: social science (gender role and partnerships)  one classin upper-secondary school, 17 pupils the pupils are familiar with the use of computers the teacher have good knowledge about the software and the use of computers

questions perspective: teacher as facilitator  how does the dialogue between the pupils and the teacher start?  who is initiating the dialogue?  what kind of dialogues are taking place?  categories – facilitator roles: support domain authority organiser task interpreter conversational peer Andreas Lund Institute of Teacher Education and School Development University of Oslo

design knowledge building unit of analysis  one group of pupils  the teacher

theory expand the knowledge level (Vygotsky, ZPD)

method data collection  video  observation  interview  questionary videorecording  one group of pupils  camera on tripod  observing in the background

preliminary findings how does the dialogue between the pupils and the teacher start? findings:  Situations lesson start-up, plenary breakdowns, pupils out of focus, what now? pupils asking for help teacher look up the groups, asking about progress

preliminary findings who is initiating the dialogue? findings:  both pupils and teacher initiate the dialogue  who: depends on the situation pupils - what now? - is this right? teacher - control - asking about progress - giving advice

preliminary findings what kind of dialogues are taking place? findings:  categories of roles for the facilitator/teacher using different roles, shifting all the time expected the support role to be distinctive…...but all roles where presence  motivation important!

summary when using ICT in education, the teacher have a new role - support important that the teacher have knowledge about the software the teachers confidence with the use of ICT, have influence on the pupils external factors have influence on both teacher and pupils preparatory work is important
