This study investigated associations between need-supportive teaching and student and teacher emotions using mixed methods. Quantitative data were gathered from the self-reports of 326 lower-secondary school students from 22 classes in Finland. Qualitative data were obtained from semi-structured interviews with four teachers. The student ratings revealed considerable between-class variances in perceived teacher emotions. The teacher interviews confirmed that teachers experienced different emotions in different classes. No significant associations between negative emotions and need support were found based on student ratings, while negative emotions were found to be connected with need support based on teacher interviews. The overall results, which combined structural equation modeling of student ratings and thematic analysis of teacher interviews, suggested the existence of reciprocal relationships between need-supportive teaching and the emotions of students and teachers. Implications for intervention research on teaching practices and teacher education are also provided.

This article presents a comparative interview study (N = 45) with Swedish and German special educators working in inclusive school settings in order to gain an understanding of how inclusive education is operationalized by the provision of special education needs (SEN) support; and how both aspects are conditioned by nation-specific particularities. Drawing on our interview analyses, we suggest an analytical device for examining and comparing the provision of SEN support in school organizations from a comparative perspective. The device is a 9-dimensional matrix, understanding the phenomenon in terms of three levels (individual, group, organizational) related to three domains (educational, social, administrative). Employing this matrix, we explain national differences in operationalizing inclusive schools. Compared with Germany, in Sweden, special educators have much more power in the inclusive school, and significantly more important decisions regarding SEN are made at an organizational level, and not only regarding individual students in need of special support.

Some Swedish schools do not identify and support students with reading difficulties efficiently enough during the first years at school. A longitudinal design was used to examine a multitiered RtI-model for identifying and supporting students at risk of reading difficulties in a Swedish school context. The results demonstrated that the RtI-model could be successfully applied. The proportion of students in need of support (i.e., below the 25th percentile) was significantly reduced after two years. Compared to students in the reference group (n = 759), significantly fewer students in the RtI group (n = 113) scored below the 25th percentile in word and non-word decoding and reading comprehension in a short text at the end of Grade 2. The discussion highlights the RtI-model’s original ideas.

Quality work is a growing area of interest in higher education research, reflecting a broader political and scientific concern with how universities and colleges work with educational quality. However, the characteristics and theoretical underpinnings of the concept are understudied, and we have scarce knowledge about how different groups of staff in higher education work with quality. To address these gaps, this study explores how academic, administrative, and leadership staff at Norwegian higher education institutions approach and reason about quality work. This article draws on concepts of discretion and legitimacy to study how these staff groups engage in quality work, and the different ways in which they legitimise this work. The findings reveal commonalities and tensions in their approaches to and reasoning for quality work. The study contributes to the conceptual development of quality work, and the findings have notable implications for future policies and practices on quality work in higher education.

The purpose of this article is to explore how public discussions on giftedness and gifted students are framed in two of Sweden’s leading newspapers over a 25-year period (1995-2019). We explored discourse within 72 articles, using a time-sensitive analysis combined with a ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ approach. The results show that the concept of giftedness became established during the period, although there were also counter-discourses questioning what ‘giftedness’ means and how schools should be organised. There is a lack of more in-depth discussions about how social class, ethnicity, or gender can affect how students are regarded in school, or how teaching can affect intellectual development. Instead, there is a strong stance in favour of individualised teaching.

How do examiners reach joint decisions when they grade oral examinations? While government and policymakers provide general frameworks about grading decisions, we know little about how they are actually accomplished in interaction, particularly when examiners initially disagree. We scrutinized 29 video-recorded grading conversations between secondary school examiners using conversation analysis. Results showed that proposing and deciding grades involved a stepwise calibration through which examiners adjusted their individual positions. While in most cases examiners expressed and sought agreement, we also investigate cases where examiners initially disagreed but eventually reached a joint decision. The paper contributes insights into decision-making in institutional interaction, as well as to our understanding of whether and how guidance is implemented in ‘live’ assessment situations. Our findings suggest adjustments are needed both to practice and assessment policy. Data are in Norwegian with English translation.
