This volume represents the work of 12 authors, all of whom were or are
working at the Department of Education at the University of Oslo. This
volume aims to provide insights into the diversity of some of the
research conducted during the last ten years in Norway, and to shed
light on the diverse and broad field of education represented by
various new voices from the Department. The contributions have in
common that they represent what we can understand as Norwegian voices,
at the same time they also show how Norwegian researchers are
communicating with and contributing to the international field of
educational research. The researchers contributing to this volume are
all trained and skilled within a Norwegian tradition, and yet have a
broad and international outlook. Norway is a country built on social
democratic values, safely situated in one of the northern most corners
of the world. During the last ten years or so, the national
educational system has been challenged and adjusted to be compatible
with international educational trends and expectations. This has
brought Norway one step closer to more internationalized and
globalized educational approaches, which is clearly shown in this
volume. The major themes in this volume serve to highlight this trend
with a focus on issues such as achievement goals, motivation and
innovation, digital tools and technology in education and new ways of
teaching and learning, which include a focus on issues concerning
diversity and democracy. The editors and the authors have been
collaborating since they first started out as PhD students roughly ten
years ago. In this volume, the ambition is to bring together the
expertise from this period, and to highlight the contribution to
research conducted at the Institute. Elisabeth Bjørnestad lives and
works in Oslo, where she is an Associate Professor in Teacher
Education and Early Childhood Education and Care at Oslo and Akershus
University College of Applied Sciences.Janicke Heldal Stray is also
working and living in Oslo, and is an Associate Professor at the
Norwegian School of Theology.
