It also examines how students emotionally relate to the…

Peter Jensen; Nina Madsen Sjö – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2024
Children's emergent mathematics skills are important predictors of their later achievements. We analyze and present the effects of a large-scale school readiness intervention in preschools in Denmark. We thereby provide evidence on the effects of a broadly based professional development program (with supporting materials) implemented in a…

Within the research field quality in preschool, interactions between staff and children are widely recognised as the single most important factor. Hence, preschool teachers play an important role in underpinning children's well-being, learning and development. However, prior research into preschool teachers' educational level and other…

Eccles, Alice M.; Qualter, Pamela; Madsen, Katrine Rich; Holstein, Bjørn E. – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2023
Loneliness has previously been linked to cognitive and attentional bias, and such biases may have a detrimental impact on perceived scholastic self-beliefs. Little is known about the relationship in school-aged adolescents. The current study examined the association between loneliness and scholastic self-beliefs in a nationally representative…

Pechmann, Philipp; Haase, Sanne – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
Quality in higher education (HE) can be considered a floating signifier that lacks a stable meaning due to the many possible interpretations different actors may ascribe to it in different contexts. We investigate how policy makers employ the term quality in HE policymaking attempting to legitimize policy reforms and find that it is employed in…

Malling, Anne Sofie Bøgh; Juul, Holger; Gejl, Anne Kaer; Damsgaard, Linn; Wienecke, Jacob; Nielsen, Anne-Mette Veber – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
In Denmark there is an ongoing trend towards a more ambitious literacy instruction in the first school year (Kindergarten). This calls for a clarification of present-day reading levels, and for a profile of the students who become readers while attending the semi-formal literacy program. The present study examined the extent to which a group of…

Frydenlund, Jonas Højgaard – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
Interventions targeting absence from school justify themselves with the claim that absence causes negative effects or prevents good effects. I argue that these are empty claims. I propose that absence as a cause makes sense in two ways: (1) in the context of prevention, if we take into consideration our expectations of what would have taken place,…
