The relationship among learning outcome measures used in higher education
Get PDFAlthough grades are still considered important signifiers of graduates’ quality, greater attention has been paid to other measures of learning outcomes in higher education. This shift in attention is attributed to an increased focus on study quality, employability, quality development and accountability. This article examines how grades relate to different measures of self-reported learning outcomes in engineering, health programmes and education programmes. Longitudinal data from national surveys in Norway are analysed in combination with data from public registers. Self-reported learning outcomes are related to student engagement and factors indicative of effective educational practices, while grades are related more to student background characteristics. Self-reported learning outcomes therefore measure individual gain or value added, using the personal starting point as a reference In this regard, this paper argues that it is important to critically discuss what kind of measures should be used as learning outcomes.The relationship among learning outcome measures used in higher educationacceptedVersio
A Mixed Method Study of the Fidelity of Bergen Housing Programme in Norway to the Pathways to Housing Model
Get PDFHousing First (HF) programmes have been implemented in Norway since 2012. An evaluation of 10 programmes conducted in 2015-2016 showed very good results when it comes to tenants achieving housing stability, having access to services, and experiencing improvement in different life-areas. None of the programmes had conducted a fidelity assessment until Bergen decided to participate in the international fidelity project. This article is based on this assessment. The fidelity assessment took place between August and November 2017 and all seven professionals in the programme team participated in the assessment. All of them also completed follow-up interviews. There are 30 individuals served by the programme. The programme showed an overall average score of 3.7 on a 4-point scale. The highest scores were in the domains of Service Philosophy and Separation of Housing and Services, while the lowest score was in the domain of Service Array. Several facilitators of programme fidelity were identified. Foremost, Norway has a strong and well developed welfare system that ensures many of the basic needs of the service users are met, such as housing subsidies and access to social and health services. Barriers to fidelity included an insufficient supply of suitable housing, a lack of essential services within the programme, and a lack of systematic training and implementation experience. Based on the usefulness of the experience for the Bergen HF programme, other Norwegian HF programmes are planning to conduct fidelity assessments.A Mixed Method Study of the Fidelity of Bergen Housing Programme in Norway to the Pathways to Housing ModelacceptedVersio
Framework conditions of occupational safety: Comparing Norwegian maritime cargo and passenger transport
Get PDFSeafaring is among the most hazardous occupations, and more knowledge is needed to inform preventive measures. One way of developing such knowledge is to compare different sub-sectors, to shed light on factors influencing occupational safety. Previous research has indicated a higher risk of serious occupational injuries in coastal cargo transport compared to passenger transport, hypothesizing that this could be due to the safety culture in coastal cargo transport. The aims of the present paper are to: (1) Compare organizational safety culture and working conditions in Norwegian cargo and passenger transport at sea, (2) Examine safety outcomes (safety behaviours and crewmember accidents) of safety culture and working conditions in the passenger and the cargo sector, and (3) discuss how safety culture and working conditions are influenced by the framework conditions of the the passenger and the cargo sector. The study is based on a small-scale survey to crewmembers on vessels registered in the Norwegian Ship Register (NOR), both at passenger vessels (N = 84) and coastal cargo vessels (N = 73). Results indicate that crew members in the coastal cargo sector experience more work pressure, and that they rate their organizational safety culture as lower than respondents in the passenger transport sector. Moreover, results indicate that work pressure and poor organizational safety culture are closely related to unsafe working behaviours, which in turn is associated with personal injuries on board. However, as a positive organizational safety culture is related to safer working behaviours, future research should examine how organizational safety culture can be employed to reduce the impact of negative framework conditions in maritime transport on occupational safety.acceptedVersio

Predictors of Physical Activity in Middle Childhood. A Fixed-effects Regression Approach
Get PDFBackground: Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) has a range of health benefits across the life span. Although many putative determinants of children's MVPA have been identified, their causal status is uncertain due to difficulties in adjusting for potential confounders. Objective: To inform promotion of children's MVPA we therefore aimed to examine well-known child-, family- and contextual predictors of MVPA in middle childhood, by applying a fixed effects regression approach, which rules out the influence of all unmeasured time-invariant confounders. Methods: Two birth cohorts of children living in the city of Trondheim, Norway were invited to participate (82.0% consented). The participants were followed-up biennially from age 6 to 10 years (n = 800) between 2009 and 2014. MVPA in children was recorded by accelerometers and child-, family- and contextual factors were obtained through interviews and questionnaires. Predictors included (i) child-level factors: the child's time outdoors, organized sports participation, athletic self-concept, self-reported screen time and objectively measured sedentariness; (ii) family factors: self-reported parental MVPA and actively transporting the child to school; and (iii) contextual factors: parental socio-economic status (SES), access to playgrounds and ballparks, traffic safety, and having a garden. A three-wave prospective study was conducted with a hybrid fixed effects regressions analysis adjusting for all time-invariant confounders to examine predictors of MVPA. Results: Children evidenced increased MVPA when they spent more time outside, spent less time being sedentary and when the family had a garden and lived in a traffic-safe area. Conclusion: Adjusting for measured time-varying and all unmeasured time-invariant confounders renders many previously identified child and family factors without impact on MVPA in children. However, several contextual factors may promote MVPA in middle childhood, and efforts to facilitate children being outside in environments that promote physical activity (e.g., being outside, in gardens, or otherwise traffic safe areas) may prove important.Predictors of Physical Activity in Middle Childhood.
