Lærerarbejdets transformationer, digitale læringsplatforme og læreres professionelle kernekompetencer

Abstract

This paper focuses on a specific part within the field of digital learning platforms in schools – namely the transformation of teacher work. In the paper the teachers’ work with digital learning platforms serves as an example of negotiation about the elements and the speciality of teacher work. With this small example the authors offer an insight into some of the challenges teachers in primary school currently face. Using empirical material from a recent project about teacher work with digital learning platforms the paper examines teachers’ decisions, understandings and answers to the challenges that schools face in terms of new demands for and understandings of teacher work – challenges that calls for transformations of teachers’ everyday practices in schools – and are a part of a worldwide “trend” to transform the roles of teachers and students and the ways we think about teaching and education.
