Research

The research focuses the communication and interaction constituting pupils' school situations in the social practice of Upper Secondary School and how school deals and copes with the varieties of individual needs. The aim is to map out, describe, analyze and interpret the interaction and sense-making within and between the communicative contexts, which are intertwined through complex networking.

The actors in these contexts, their actions and communication, are central. The investigation, involving a number of cases, was carried out during three years, 2004-2007. The study highlights the experiences of the pupils and how they interpret and understand their school situation, participation, learning and communication.
