Forskningsinteresser

Forskning. Min forskning drejer sig om pædagogik generelt, om uddannelser, undervisning og faglighed. Jeg har stor interesse for kommunikationen og måder vi indgår i roller og sammenhænge i undervisning, hvordan fag fx bliver synliggjort og aktiveret for elever, studerende eller kursister. Jeg er særligt interesseret i de dialogiske sammenhænge vi indgår i i undervisning og samarbejde, og jeg udfordrer og udvikler gængse dialogformer i klasserummet. Eleverne motiveres til at undersøge og lære gennem deltagelse og at afprøve eget udtryk og ansvar som medborgere i et demokrati.

Mit udgangspunkt for undervisning og didaktisk forskning har været danskfaget. Igennem æstetiske udtryk og kunst, litteratur og fagtekster gennem såvel skrift, tale, visuelle udtryk og kropslige erfaringer motiveres vi til deltagelse. Almenpædagogisk praksis og udvikling, holdninger og menneskesyn ligger som grunddiskussioner i min undervisning og forskning i (inter)kulturelle kompetencer og kommunikation (herunder sprogpædagogik), fagdidaktik på tværs, og pædagogens/lærerens daglige samarbejde med andre faggrupper.

En vifte af forskningsmetoder er nødvendige. Kvalitative studier og mikrostudier af interaktion, literacy-forskning og lærers/elevs relation til hinanden og til faglige materialer har jeg især foretaget fra fænomenologisk, etnografisk tilgang, interaktions- og rytmestudier, sproglige integrative metoder og videoanalyser. Kobling mellem mikroniveau og makroniveau (fx skolepraksis og uddannelsespolitiske konsekvenser har forskellige dele af praksisteoretiske metoder hjulpet med.

Jeg har min største basis i dialogteori og dialogismen (i arven efter M.M Bakhtin) der netop både diskuterer mikroniveau og de uddannelsespolitiske konsekvenser på makroniveau af samfund og læreres epistemologiske forståelser af ”hvor kommer viden fra”?

Nuværende forskningsprojekt om inkluderende dialog - Inclusive Dialogue - InDi er støttet af Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond (DFF), og det gennemfører postdoc Marie Holtet og jeg på SDU sammen med forsker-repræsentanter fra alle landets læreruddannelser i et kollaborativt udviklingsarbejde. Vi undersøger hvordan læreruddannere på professionshøjskolerne og på universitetet kan videreuddanne sig selv og med hinanden og kolleger for at forme mere varierede dialogiske undervisningsrum end dem vi ser på skolen og i uddannelserne og selv udfører. Vores praksisudvikling foregår i samarbejde med de lærerstuderende som i egen campusundervisning og praktik på landets skoler undersøger udfordringerne og mulighederne for dialogisk undervisning sammen med os.

Vi udvikler nødvendigvis her andre metoder for at fange og forstå vores egen praksisudvikling. Autoetnografiske og posthumane udgangspunkter er blandt andet hjælpsomme for nye metoder og opmærksomhed til at (op)fatte ændringer hos os selv og vores studerende og opfinde måder at udvikle læreruddannelserne på i et andensordensdidaktisk perspektiv, undervisning af undervisere (second order teaching), eller andenordens dialogisk (second order dialogic) perspektiv.
