| dc.description.abstract | This study examines different views and perspectives on ESL-learning in public schools and Steiner schools in Norway. I have chosen to compare Norwegian comprehensive schools and Steiner schools due to a longstanding curiosity and interest into the Steiner pedagogy, dating all the way back to my own primary school years.
Elevundersøkelsen is a national survey by the Norwegian Directorate of Education and is done each year. Pupils answer questions about their learning, motivation, learning environment and their well-being. The results have shown that many of them experience a lot of negative emotions and struggles in their education concerning the focus on academic results and testing (UDIR, Utdanningsspeilet, 2020).
I wanted to examine if the two school types present different views on deep learning, assessment and the use of teaching materials, and to examine the implications the two approaches have on student performance and overall well-being. | |
