A B S T R AC TThe aim of this paper is to address facilitators for successful interprofessional collaboration (IPC) between social workers (SWs) and teachers. Individual interviews were carried out with seven SWs employed in municipal child welfare services and six teachers from primary and secondary schools. The informants had at least two years' experience within multidisciplinary teams. The transcripts were analysed using an inductive thematic approach and the NVIVO9 computer software package for qualitative data analysis. Thematic analysis revealed three themes: 'personal commitments', 'creating a positive atmosphere for IPC' and 'pulling together towards future goals'. Results are discussed in relation to the Norwegian context concerning IPC in multidisciplinary teams for children at risk.
Artikkelen undersøker lærerens rolle i den spesialpedagogiske tiltakskjeden og videre hvordan elevens medvirkning kan inkluderes i denne prosessen. Tiltakskjeden består av seks faser hvor lærerens rolle er særlig viktig i første, femte og sjette fase. Med utgangspunkt i Lindensjö & Lundgrens (2000) begreper formulering- og realiseringsarenaen, vil vi gjennom et litteratursøk undersøke hva sentrale dokumenter og forskning sier om lærerens rolle og ansvar i den spesialpedagogiske tiltakskjede. Formuleringsarenaen handler om intensjoner og føringer i eksempelvis offentlige styringsdokumenter, mens realiseringsarenaen viser til hvordan disse intensjonene blir iverksatt. I diskusjonsdelen brukes en modell inspirert av Lindensjö og Lundgren (2000) som en analytisk linse for å diskutere artikkelens problemstilling sammen med resultater fra litteratursøket. Våre funn viser at lærernes rolle og ansvar, og elevens medvirkning i liten grad er løftet frem i tiltakskjeden. Resultatet viser at fokus i utvalgte dokumenter og forskingslitteratur har vært/er mer rettet mot saksgang og prosedyrer enn mot lærers rolle, ansvar og barns medvirkning i denne prosessen.
Norwegian educational policy focuses on inclusive, equivalent, and adapted education for all. We followed procedures for an inductive thematic approach to explore the educational experiences of seventeen gifted students (age twelve – fifteen). The inductive thematic analysis revealed three key themes: the educational system, the joy of learning, and problematic issues concerning school and learning. Our results are discussed in light of educational policy and Gagné’s Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent, and indicate that the Norwegian educational system does not meet these gifted students’ needs at either the individual or systemic levels. This study is vital for gaining a better understanding of the Norwegian perspective as well as the wider Nordic setting.
