In the Nordic countries, mathematics classrooms are often characterised by individual work and procedural instruction, but research shows that this is not the most effective way to teach the subject.
In a recent study QUINT researchers examined the quality of instruction in Swedish lower secondary schools.
The Connected Classrooms and LISA-Nordic projects each held symposia during Nordic Educational Research Association (NERA) conference in Oslo last week.
Video has proven to be a powerful tool in teacher training and professional development. Researchers from the QUINT Centre explain how.
This is what QUINT researchers intend to investigate in a new project: ‘Nordic Literature Instruction According to Teachers’.
Join UV’s "Research Skills Development Week" in mid-October, a week packed full of useful tools, techniques and resources that will make you a better researcher.
While Nordic teachers are good at creating a supportive classroom climate, they struggle with providing instructional strategies that support students’ independent skills and learning.
The University of Oslo is awarding Professor Pamela Grossman an honorary doctorate for her outstanding work in the educational sciences. Professor Grossman’s work has been influential in forming the theoretical and methodological foundation for several QUINT projects, particularly LISA-Nordic and VIST.
Berglind Gísladóttir (University of Iceland) and Birna Svanbjörnsdóttir (University of Akureyri) were in Norway recently to discuss their proposed study with QUINT researchers based at the University of Oslo.
At two events this April, QUINT affiliates presented findings and exchanged knowledge with education researchers in North America.
After a long hiatus due to COVID restrictions, the QUINT researcher mobility program is up and running again.
INTERVIEW: Marte Blikstad-Balas and Michael Tengberg discuss Ways of Analyzing Teaching Quality: Potentials and Pitfalls, a book with origins at the QUINT centre.
On March 16, 2022 QUINT Director Kirsti Klette participated in a panel debate at Örebro University for the conference Teacher education of the future, together with guests from Finland and Sweden.

QUINT researchers are well represented at the AERA Conference 2022 "Cultivating Equitable Education Systems for the 21 Century", 21-26 April.
What have the Nordic countries learned from their experience of schooling during COVID-19? On February 17, the QUINT Centre brought together researchers and key education stakeholders from across the Nordic region to discuss this question.
When the COVID-19 pandemic first began causing temporary school closures, the shift to remote learning was quick and often dramatic. Teachers, students and parents all had to drastically adjust to the new situation. So too, did researchers studying teaching in Nordic schools.
The inter-faculty QUALI-FAIR hub will work on making qualitative and context-sensitive research data more available to researchers.
Four QUINT researchers and four teachers teamed up to present the newest findings from two QUINT professional development projects.
The QUINT centre in Oslo is currently hosting Anders S. Christensen, Assistant Professor at UCL University College, Denmark. Anders is one of a group of researchers involved in the project Comparing Quality in Social Science Teaching in Nordic Classrooms (QUISST).
How can we overcome the theoretical and methodological fragmentation when analysing classroom teaching and learning? Professor Kristi Klette, director of the QUINT centre, believes video classroom research and observation protocols might hold the answer.
After a long time of detailed planning, The University Board at The University of Oslo (The University’s highest decision-making body) has granted us permission to launch a new master’s programme “Master in Education” at our Department. We are excited to welcome the first batch of students who will start their studies the autumn semester of 2022.
QUINT researcher Dr. Jennifer M. Luoto discusses how we can understand good mathematics teaching from different perspectives of classroom research.
QUINT Deputy Director Marte Blikstad-Balas presents at the conference "Back to school – lessons learned from the pandemic. How can it change the classroom of tomorrow?"
