Last week, Louise Pindstrup Scavenius defended her PhD thesis on the school experiences of 5th-10th grade students from a pedagogical and didactic perspective, focusing on both student and teacher perspectives. This is reported by Ilisimatusarfik on its website.
Overall, the results point to a school characterized by challenges, including book-based and monotonous teaching, lack of connection to the students' everyday lives and weak learning communities. Both teachers and students show resignation in everyday school life, according to Louise's PhD thesis, which thus discusses how these conditions affect students' knowledge, attitudes and expectations towards school and education, and concludes with concrete pedagogical and didactic suggestions for developing practice.
