    On context in phenomenographic research on understanding heat and temperate2002In: EARLI, Bi-annual Symposium, Fribourg, Switzerland, 2002Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Starting from an empirical study of lay adults' understanding of heatand temperature, we distinguish between different meanings of "context" inphenomenographic research. To confuse the variation in ways of experiencingthe context(s) of the study with the variation in ways of experiencing thephenomenon of study is to risk losing fundamental insights. We discuss contextas experienced and as interwoven with the experience of the phenomenon, andanalyse its significance in two dimensions: (1) the stage of the research project:formulating the question, collecting data, analysing data and deploying results;and (2) "who is experiencing" the context: the individual, the collective, or theresearcher. The arguments are illustrated from the empirical study.

    A framework to study learning in a complex learning environment2004In: ALT-J Research in Learning Technology Journal, Vol. 12, no 1, p. 65-79Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This paper presents a framework for analysing variations in the ways in which students experience learning in complex, computer-supported environments. It involves an application of phenomenography extended to encompass the content of the learning as well as its context. Concepts from activity theory are drawn upon to enlarge the scope of phenomenography. By applying this framework, researchers, as well as course organisers, may gain insights into how courses are experienced by the participants and can thus develop these in a way that will be perceived as improvement by the course participants. Within this predominantly phenomenographic approach, the focus is upon the content of the learning experience, giving the ability to relate learning outcomes to the experience of the learning environment. Hence, insights can be gained that can help to improve learning environments and thereby outcomes. A case study illustrating the kinds of results than can be obtained when using the framework is provided.

    Do we teach well? Insights from Engineering Education Research: Keynote talk at the ReflekTori 20072007Other (Other (popular scientific, debate etc.))
    Abstract [en]

    Do we teach well? How can we find out? As experienced teachers in engineering we “just know” when we do particularly well; we have learnt to read our students in our own subjects. However, if we broaden the perspective and take a step away from the individual class room, a slightly different picture emerges. We could, for example, ask ourselves questions such as “What did the students learn?” or “What did the students try to learn?”. Our own feelings are then, on their own, not enough to answers these questions. A complementary perspective based on research is required. In this talk, I will discuss different ways in which such research can be done, as well as the close relationship between the research question, the research methodology and the outcome.

    Research within engineering education aims to formalize and extend the competence of the teacher. Apart from its basis in the teacher and her practice, engineering education research gains from being founded both within the subject area and a relevant theoretical base in pedagogy. The research that I will advocate in this talk mirrors these ideas by exploring both that which is learned about (the object of the students’ learning), and the ways in which this learning is approached.

    The insights gained by engineering education research contribute mainly through their results, when they are used by a teacher. For example, a teacher, who has insights in how students understand the computer science concepts of object and class, is in a good position to teach them in a successful way. However, a theoretically anchored base in pedagogy also contributes in other ways. It serves as a frame of reference, helping a researcher to judge the generalisability and trustworthiness of his or her work. A common language becomes available. Through this language, a researcher can discuss his or her results and their applications with colleagues. The individual researcher also gets a clearer identity, recognisable outside the local area. This has a value as it offers support to him or her and a visibility for the community. It is easier for a visible community to promote its ideas and influence the teaching.

    The result of a research project is, of course, closely related to how a project is performed. There are several “starting points” (often referred to as research approaches, research frameworks or research methodologies). Each of these has a different empirical, epistemological and ontological basis. Selecting how to perform a certain research project and verbalising its underlying values, comes to delimit what can be studied. For example, statistical studies can be useful for finding trends in large populations, such as exploring the correlation between the students’ results in engineering and their parents’ income and profession. On the other hand a feminist researcher addresses questions of power imbalances and the underlying values of different engineering concepts. An interesting question here I, for example, if there are any factors within the discipline of engineering itself, such as it is taught at our universities, that might prevent female students from accepting the values of the engineering community.

    Thus, it is crucial to consciously select a research approach that can be fruitful for answering the research question at hand. Different approaches offer varying perspectives and lead the researcher on different roads. The relationship between a research approach and the outcome is complex: Similar results, or at least results illuminating the same research question, can be obtained in different ways. Neither does the selection of a particular way of performing the research necessarily lead to a certain type of result. Other factors influence the outcome, such as for example the research setting. Even the researcher, with his or her values and experiences, becomes a factor of the outcome. As a consequence, it is a complex task to determine to what degree pedagogically based research in engineering education can be trusted. However, this shall not prevent us from trying. Instead the complexity emphasises the need of an underlying pedagogical theory.

    In this talk I will develop these ideas about engineering education research and illustrate its current state and application by a set of examples. Some relevant research approaches, and the results they have helped to reveal, will be explored. I will finally discuss how such results can contribute to the work in a class room situation.

    Exploring the cultures: European values in science and technology education in higher education2009In: Cultural Dynamics: Inheritance and Identity: Starting Activity, 2009Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Universities are a part of the globalisation. They belong to the local community in which they are situated,at the same time as they are heavily influenced by the cultural and social background of teachers andstudents and as they carry a culture of their own. Each subject area in science and technology, such ascomputer science or biology, also brings its own sets of values and norms. What it means, for example “tobe a computer scientist” and “what computer science is” are thus evolving in the interplay between thesubject area, the university and its people, the local community and an internationalising world.It is hard to enter this culture for a student, who enters university to study science or technology. Maybethe difficulty is still larger for non-European students, who bring other norms and experiences than themajority culture. For example, Asian students tend, more than their European counterparts, to focus onrote learning. Although learning in this form often is highly sophisticated and successful, Europeanuniversities normally do not support these ways of learning. The Asian students frequently alsounderstand concepts, which are taken for granted in a European community (such as originality andintellectual property) in different ways. In science and technology, the students’ relationships to the roleof the literature and purpose of practical assignments often differ from that of the majority culture.In this context it becomes interesting to explore how the diversity in itself is understood by students andstaff. The issue of how the different subject areas stand out, which values, norms and cultures that theyinteract with and are constituted by becomes another important research question.The diverse environments that is constituted by science and technology education at the universities offerpossibilities for the researchers to explore the variation in the above mentioned factors, in a way thatwould not possible in a culturally homogenous environment.The rationale for studying such topics in this cultural environment is three-fold:1. The study opens for scrutinizing our own, European, values. By making our values explicit, wecan determine which of these values that we honour and find important. For example, originality,intellectual property and equality are important European values, while the unwillingness torespect rote learning is not. Thus, universities need to communicate with their students in order tomake our values visible and understandable. Further we need to accommodate those behavioursthat are not fundamental in a European perspective in the repertoires of the universities.2. The study also opens for integrating new practices into the universities, both as institutionallychanges and by acting in such a way that the universities profit from the diversity in theuniversities.3. Finally, this research program offers the kind of insights concerning our culture, which haspedagogical implications. It can ultimately help us in improving science and technologyeducation.The study will take its empirical basis in a qualitative exploration of the expressions of the experiences ofstudents and staff from different subject areas. The outcome of this study will be interpreted in culturaltheory and/or socio-cultural frameworks.My personal research interests lies in the interaction between the subject area (specifically computerscience) with the culture of which it is a part. The implications in science and technology education andits pedagogy are questions that I find particularly relevant and appealing to explore.

    Learning computer systems in a distributed project course: The what, why, how and where2005Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Senior university students taking an internationally distributed project course in computer systems find themselves in a complex learning situation. To understand how they experience computer systems and act in their learning situation, the what, the why, the how and the where of their learning have been studied from the students’ perspective. The what aspect concerns the students’ understanding of concepts within computer systems: network protocols. The why aspect concerns the students’ objectives to learn computer systems. The how aspect concerns how the students go about learning. The where aspect concerns the students’ experience of their learning environment. These metaphorical entities are then synthesised to form a whole.

    The emphasis on the students’ experience of their learning motivates a phenomenographic research approach as the core of a study that is extended with elements of activity theory. The methodological framework that is developed from these research approaches enables the researcher to retain focus on learning, and specifically the learning of computer systems, throughout.

    By applying the framework, the complexity in the learning is unpacked and conclusions are drawn on the students’ learning of computer systems. The results are structural, qualitative, and empirically derived from interview data. They depict the students’ experience of their learning of computer systems in their experienced learning situation and highlight factors that facilitate learning.

    The results comprise sets of qualitatively different categories that describe how the students relate to their learning in their experienced learning environment. The sets of categories, grouped after the four components (what, why, how and where), are synthesised to describe the whole of the students’ experience of learning computer systems.

    This study advances the discussion about learning computer systems and demonstrates how theoretically anchored research contributes to teaching and learning in the field. Its multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary character invites further debate, and thus, advances the field.

    Learning computer systems in a project course: Aims and approaches: Keynote speech at First Australasian Workshop on Applications of Phenomenography in Engineering, Computing and Science Education2007Other (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This empirical phenomenographic study discusses the aims, which students in a project course in computer systems, strive to reach and how they go about in their efforts to reach these aims. Three different motives have been identified: academic achievement; project and team working capacity; and social competence. Certainly, a student aims by taking a course largely influence the nature of her or his learning. Thus, the students can be thought of as taking different courses. The students can further approach these "different courses" in a variety of ways. The paper demonstrates that some of the ways to approach the learning are better than others in terms of a good learning outcome.

    On the understanding of computer network protocols2002Licentiate thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    How students learn about network protocols is studied in a project-centred, internationally distributed, university course in computer systems taught jointly by two universities. Insights into students' understanding of basic concepts within computer networks are gained through an empirical phenomenographic research approach.

    The use of phenomenography as a research approach makes it possible to learn about computer science, as it is experienced by the students. The context in which the research is carried out and issues concerning by whom the context is experienced, are investigated and form a part of the methodological basis.

    Students' understanding of some protocols that are used within the project, as well as their experience of the general concept of network protocols are investigated, and different ways of experiencing the protocols are discerned. Some aspects that indicate good learning outcomes are identified, such as being capable of understanding a protocol in different ways and of making relevant choices between the ways it could be experienced according to the context in which it appears.

    Based on these results a discussion on learning and teaching is developed. It is argued that a variation in the context in which the protocol is experienced promotes good learning, since different ways of experiencing a protocol are useful with different tasks to hand. A student with a good understanding of network protocols can choose in a situationally relevant way between different ways of experiencing a protocol.

    Phenomenography: A way to study learning from the students' perspective.: Keynote presentation at Researching Phenomena: Three methodologies, three perspectives2007Other (Other scientific)
    Abstract [en]

    Phenomenography (Marton & Booth, 1997) is an empirical, qualitative research approach that aims to reveal, analyze and describe how students' experience their own learning and the conditions for learning. The approach has proved successful for research on university students' understanding of core concepts within their subject area as well as of how they go about to study.

    In this talk, I will discuss how computer science students who take an international distributed project course learn about the subject area (Berglund, 2005). The students, who followed the course worked in teams of six, where three of the members were in Sweden, and the remaining three were in USA. The team members jointly produced a software system which controlled a computerized wooden toy.

    What students were striving to learn, and how they experienced grading in this course will be presented as case studies on phenomenographic research. Finally, I will discuss how the results can be further analyzed by using tools from activity theory (Engeström, 1987).

    Teaching and learning CS: An overview of research approaches: Keynote speech at the 4th Annual Finnish/Baltic Sea Conference on Computer Science Education2004Other (Other scientific)
    Abstract [en]

    What kind of results that can be obtained from a research project into students' learning of computer science is closely related to how the research is performed. The relation is complex: Similar results, or, at least, results illuminating the same research question, can be obtained in different ways. Neither does the selection of a particular way of performing the result necessarily lead to a certain type of the result. The researcher himself - his beliefs, interests, previous experience, network of discussants, even his personality - is essential for the outcome of a project and becomes, to a certain degree, a part of the results. Other factors that influences the outcome are the setting in which the study is performed, previous work within the domain, previous work performed in a similar way, just to mention a few.

    A research approach is essential to guide the researcher as he studies students’ learning of computer science. It serves as a “tool box”, and offers established guidelines for conducting empirical work, as well as a theoretically sound perspective on learning. An approach can be compared to a lens in that some aspects are in focus, while others become unclear or “blurred”. The selection of a research approach is crucial, since a particular approach offers certain perspectives on the research question, and enables in this way the researcher to study certain aspects of learning.

    With a conscious selection of a reserach approach, communication with other researchers becomes possible as a shared terminology is available. In this way, the researcher gets the instruments to judge the relevance of his work in the light of that which are performed by others, and, of course, to judge the findings of others in relation to his own results. Furthermore the approach helps in understanding to what extent the results can be trusted and generalized to other groups of students and to other situations.

    The deployment of an approach in a particular project, that is, a selection of which methods that are used (for example, to collect data) are not defined by an approach, but are instead methodological decisions that has to be taken by the researcher based on the current situation, of which the approach and the research questions are key elements. Of course, since a research approach has a history, including other projects - more or less successful - performed within that approach, there is a tradition, or a network of competence, that the researcher partly can lean on in his selection to use one method (for example interviews for data collection) over another (for example observation).

    In this talk, I will discuss some research approach that are relevant for research into students' learning of computer science. Examples of results that can be obtained from the different approaches will be given.

    A smorgasbord of pedagogical dishes1997In: ACM Australasian computing education conference, Melbourne, 1997Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A smorgasbord is a style of food presentation that offers a wide variety of dishes from which the dinner guest can select according to personal preference. In this paper, we use the analogy of the smorgasbord to present a variety of pedagogical dishes that have been used for courses given by one department. In the same way the dishes on the smorgasbord can be grouped into various categories, our pedagogical dishes have been grouped into categories: Active learning, Projects, Form of examination, and Forging connections. For each dish, we discuss how it has been used, the participants, and the goals, as well as our assessment of the outcome. We hope that the reader will be inspired by the description of our pedagogical smorgasbord to extend and refine their local offerings.

    This course is a project course that offers outcomes both within learning of the students’ disciplines and as development of professional competencies, so called generic competencies including inter‐ cultural competence. Creating international teams can enhance learning, as the students need to learn how to collaborate in a more structured way. 

    The course has been run with smaller variations for more than 20 years, so the concept is sustainable

    Inspiring Students in Their Learning: A Theoretically Based Discussion Building on Three Courses2019In: 2019 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE 2019), IEEE, 2019Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    It often happens that some students come to engage in their learning, and in the learning of their peers, far beyond what we, or they, would have expected. There is also ample evidence of the opposite experience, where students, even if initially highly motivated, end up unable to engage in a meaningful manner. I n this paper, we analyse three courses in order to better understand why the level of student engagement varies to such a high degree, with the aim of opening for seeing underlying factors explaining this. Further, we illustrate and discuss our framework with empirical data collected from at Uppsala University. We study the courses using different research approaches (or perspectives), based in the sociocultural tradition, namely Activity Theory (as described by Engestrom), Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky), and Communities of Practice (Lave & Wenger). These approaches serve as lenses with the aim of finding common factors in the learning environments that are collectively created by the students and their teachers during the extent of the courses. Our results point towards the need to establish a joint understanding between students and teachers at several different levels: at a course level in terms of the aim of a course and its possible outcomes, but also personal aims related to what the course could lead to for everyone involved. Further, our research suggests that the supporting and scaffolding role of the teacher is crucial to the development of a positive learning environment in a course.

    Qualitative Research Projects in Computing Education Research: An Overview.2006In: Australian Computer Science Communications, Vol. 28, no 5, p. 25-34Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Qualitative research approaches have much to offer computing education research (CER). Conducting studies which are theoretically anchored in pedagogy, as well as in computing, can help us to draw more solid and significant conclusions about how students learn computing. When studying teaching and learning situations it is important to take into explicit account what is meant by learning. We claim that this implies that research into student learning is strengthened by increased awareness of the role and relevance of qualitative research approaches in CER.

    With this aim in mind we identify the area of “pedagogically anchored qualitative research” and place it within the broader CER landscape. We also provide an overview of research methods and resulting studies, which we feel exemplify the value this type of study has for the CER community.

    Through the eyes of a research team: Using theory to enhance STEM Education2021In: 2021 6th International STEM Education Conference (iSTEM-Ed), IEEE, 2021, p. 1-4Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Computing Education Research (CER) is an example of Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) that has developed substantively over the last few decades. This is especially true for the Uppsala Computing Education Research Group (UpCERG). In this paper, we use UpCERG as a lens to see how a conscious use of theory can enhance the quality of STEM education. This is accomplished through presenting our use of the concept “theory” in the paper and by using the theses produced by the group as a way to illustrate the increased importance of theoretical development.

    Encouraging Asian academic STEM teachers to research their own teaching practice2021In: 2021 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    It might be a challenge for a STEM researcher to engage in research that is not directly relevant to his or her own field of specialization. The CUP EASTEM course, described in this paper, aims to support academic Asian STEM teachers in overcoming the challenge of researching their own teaching practices. In this paper we discuss, with CUP EASTEM, as a case study, how we have supported academic STEM teachers to take the steps needed to conduct research on their own teaching practices. The key is to broaden the perspective to also include theoretically sound, qualitative interpretative research. Furthermore, this is a journey that must be made without losing sight of the object of the students' learning, that is, the fundamental concepts within the STEM disciplines.

    Abstract [en]

    This WiP paper discusses difficulties, but also gains, in starting new collaborations, mainly when the universities differ: different natures of their strengths and weaknesses, acting in different contexts and having different international recognitions. At the same time, it is the differences that make exchanges fruitful and opens for new learning experiences. An example of such a collaboration between asymmetric partners can be found in the Department of Information Technology, Uppsala University, Sweden and College of Science and Technology, Royal University of Bhutan.

    Three Ways of Globalizing IT Engineering Education: Experiences from Two European Universities2008In: International Conference on Science, Technology and Education Policy: Engineering Education, Innovation and Globalization, Hangzhou, China, 2008, p. 63-67Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

     

    In this paper, we present three different mechanisms for globalising engineering education: (1) student and staff exchanges, (2) joint courses, where the students work in globally distributed teams; and (3) joint degree programmes.

    We argue that the three mechanisms complement each other and that successful globalisation within an institution can be archived by combining the three.

    Our argument is based on the experiences of two north European universities, who successfully globalise their education.

    "How research came inside me as a new knowledge": An inside perspective from two Bhutanese students on learning research in Computing Education2018In: 2018 6th International Conference on Learning and Teaching in Computing and Engineering (LaTICE), IEEE, 2018, p. 98-102Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Scholars have argued that there is no simple definition for research due to a wide variety of disciplines and educational contexts; how students are involved in research may vary a lot with a discipline, and with national and regional curricula within a particular discipline. The present study advances autoethnographic accounts of two Bhutanese students' participation in research. The context of participation is their exchange period, and specifically their attendance at a particular Computing Education Research course, at Uppsala University. The autoethnographic epiphanies that our report suggest transformations in perspective as to what research is and what it may provide personally. The students coauthored the present paper, which, we hope, helped in generating a plausible autoethnographic text, while manifesting their continued interest in research.
