Takk til Eli-Ann Tandberg som med et våkent øye har lest korrektur og kommet med råd om språklige forbedringer.

  • Religion Education in Norway: Tension Or Harmony Between Human Rights and Christian Cultural Heritage?
    Religion Education in Norway: Tension or Harmony between Human Rights and Christian Cultural Heritage? BENGT-OVE ANDREASSEN University of Tromsø Abstract Both research and public and scholarly debate on religious education (RE) in Norway have mostly revolved around the subject in primary and secondary school called Christianity, Religion and Ethics (KRL) (later renamed Religion, Philosophies of Life and Ethics, RLE), not least due to the criticisms raised by the UN’s Human Rights Com- mittee in 2004 and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in 2007 of the Norwegian model for RE in primary and secondary schools. The RE subject in upper secondary school, however, is hardly ever mentioned. The same applies to teacher education. This article therefore aims at providing some insight into how RE has developed in the Norwegian educational system overall, ranging from primary and secondary to upper secondary and including the different forms of teacher education. Keywords: religious education, teacher education, educational system, human rights, Norway Historical Background The development of religious education (RE) in Norway can be described in three main perspectives which link with historical periods: firstly, the Chris- tian education policy in the period from 1736 (when confirmation was made obligatory for all people) to 1860; secondly, the gradual secularisation of the school from 1860, as new subjects supplemented and challenged Christian- ity as the main curricular focus in schools, to 1969, when a new Education Act stated that RE should no longer should be confessionally rooted in Christianity. The period of religious instruction in Norwegian schools was then formally over, and ‘separative religious education’, in what has been © The Finnish Society for the Study of Religion Temenos Vol.

  • Chapter 1 School Education in Norway
    1. SCHOOL EDUCATION IN NORWAY – 13 Chapter 1 School education in Norway While Norway’s results in the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) are at or above the OECD average depending on the subject, these outcomes are not considered satisfactory given Norway’s high levels of spending on education. There are also indications that the quality of education provided varies between municipalities with otherwise similar characteristics. The first publication of PISA results in 2000 was described by stakeholders in Norway as a “PISA shock”, which has helped focus attention on the monitoring of quality in education. Over the past ten years, there has been a strong focus on building up national tools and procedures to monitor quality at different levels of the system with a view to improve practices and raise performance. This national agenda is coupled with efforts to build up capacity at all levels and support networking among schools and school owners to strengthen collective learning. This approach reflects Norway’s well-established tradition of local autonomy, with individual schools being “owned” by municipalities and counties and accountable to them rather than more distant national bodies. OECD REVIEWS OF EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT IN EDUCATION: NORWAY © OECD 2011 14 – 1. SCHOOL EDUCATION IN NORWAY This chapter provides background information that will help readers not familiar with the Norwegian education system understand the context in which evaluation and assessment takes place. The chapter provides a brief overview of the current national demographic, political and economic context as well as a description of the key features of the Norwegian education system.

The fieldwork and data collection took place in a city in Norway in March to June 2012 and is collected through semi-structured interviews. In the analysis of the data theoretical perspectives of ideas, values and cultural practices within the dominant Norwegian nature and outdoor life discourses and the discourses dominating the view on children and childhood in Norway are utilized. In the analyzing process concepts such as culture, adaptation, reciprocity and resistance have been useful tools to understand the processes of meaning making that take place when people from more cultures meet and have to negotiate and re-negotiate their patterns for life. Theoretical perspectives and ideas of the dominant discourses of the North influencing the views on children and childhood have also been draw on. Due to former colonialization, and to globalization, these ideas have spread to large parts of the world.

    Theo Koritzinsky 90-TALLSREFORMENE: PERSONER OG STRUKTURER – FAG OG POLITIKK INNLEDNING Denne artikkelen behandler noen trekk ved 1990-åras utdanningsreformer. Hovedfokus rettes mot sammenhengene mellom de generelle styringsreformene for hele utdanningssystemet og grunnskolereformenes beslutningsprosesser og innhold. Jeg legger særlig vekt på følgende beslektete problemstillinger: Hvilken innflytelse i beslutningsprosessene hadde den politiske ledelse og fagfolkene i Kirke-, utdannings- og forskningsdepartementet (KUF), politikerne i Stortinget, lærernes interesseorganisasjoner og pedagogiske forskningsmiljøer? I hvilken grad var beslutningsprosessene preget av konsensus/harmoni innenfor og mellom ulike aktørgrupper? I hvilken grad var aktørenes verdier, interesser, forslag og beslutninger preget av mer strukturelle føringer fra markedet og dominerende ideologier? Artikkelen bygger på mine undersøkelser av de norske utdanningsreformene i 1990-åra, med særlig vekt på samspillet mellom beslutningsprosesser, innhold og oppfølging som gjelder grunnskolen. I disse undersøkelsene tar jeg utgangs- punkt i læreplanteori, didaktisk relasjonstenkning, organisasjons- og beslut- ningsteori. Mine primærdata er hentet fra kvalitativ og kvantitativ innholds- analyse av rundt åtti offentlige dokumenter og delvis strukturerte intervjuer med rundt seksti av de viktigste deltakerne i beslutningsprosessene. Undersøkelsene er i hovedsak dokumentert i boka om læreplanen av 1997, Pedagogikk og politikk i L97 – Læreplanens innhold og beslutningsprosessene, men
