“…A NAS is defined as "a student who has migrated regardless of reason, who do not possess basic knowledge in the Swedish language, and enters elementary (or upper secondary) education just prior to or during the regular academic year" (Nilsson & Bunar, 2016, p.402). The major institutional response to this category of children has been to appoint their legal status, rather than considering them as children in need of education (Nilsson & Bunar, 2016).…”

Abstract:This article studies the recognition of newly arrived students (NAS) knowledge in Swedish career guidance. It aims to analyze how career guidance (CG) counsellors at public schools a) describe and assess the already existing knowledge and competences of NAS, and b) express opinions towards their viewpoints on learning, education and work. The article is based on a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with five CG counsellors. The notion of "recognition" denote both the evaluation of a) knowledge and b) the general attitudes towards educational choosing. The acts of evaluation studied are informal in character, and derive from interviews with CG counsellors. The knowledge of NAS about the labor market and the educational system are considered inadequate, and that their vocational aspirations were held to be erratic, narrow and rigid. Educational preferences and strategies influenced by a collectivistic ethos are regarded as pedagogically and ethically erroneous, and are not recognized.

“…En Allemagne, par exemple, la moitié au moins des réfugiés souffre d'une maladie mentale (Bundes Psychoterapeuten Kammer (BPtK, chambre fédérale des psychothérapeutes), 2015 [40]). Un taux élevé de troubles anxieux a également été signalé parmi ceux qui ont été examinés dans les îles grecques à la fin de 2016 et au début de 2017 (Médecins Sans Frontières, 2017 [41]). L'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) estime que les taux de dépression, d'anxiété et de mal-être sont au moins trois fois plus élevés parmi les réfugiés que dans l'ensemble de la population, et augmentent avec le temps (OMS/Europe, 2016 [42]).…”

“…SvA-elevers och nyanlända elevers tidigare erfarenheter och kunskaper behöver kartläggas för att varje elevs behov ska kunna mötas. På så sätt kan skolans mål om solidaritet, inkludering och jämlikhet mötas i praktiken (Nilsson & Bunar, 2016, Block et al, 2014. Studier framhåller vikten av ett interkulturellt arbetssätt, där läraren knyter an till nyanlända elevers egna erfarenheter, modersmål och kulturer.…”

Elever med utländsk bakgrund tenderar att prestera sämre än svenskfödda elever i skolan primärt på grund av sämre kunskaper i det svenska språket. Utifrån statistisk analys (Differential item functioning) identifieras uppgifter från de nationella proven i geografi (2014 – 2017) där elever som följer kursplanen i svenska som andraspråk klarar sig avsevärt mycket bättre - eller sämre - än förväntat. Tidigare forskning har visat att geografiska begrepp är särskilt svåra för elever som inte har svenska som modersmål, vilket också påvisas i denna studie. Den visar att det särskilt är uppgifter med lite text som handlar om geografiska begrepp som uppvisar större skillnader i prestationer mellan elever som följer kursplanen i svenska respektive svenska som andraspråk. Resultaten kan stödja såväl lärare som provkonstruktörer att bättre anpassa undervisning och prov genom att undvika att skapa uppgifter som mäter irrelevanta bakgrundsfaktorer som påverkar elevernas möjligheter att besvara uppgifter på ett adekvat vis utifrån deras kunskapsnivåer.Nyckelord: Nationella prov i geografi, uppgiftsformat, elever med utländsk bakgrund, svenskfödda elever, DIF-analysWhat types of test items benefit students who follow the syllabus in Swedish as a second language? A study using data from the Swedish national assessments in geography.AbstractPupils born outside Sweden are likely to accomplish less in comparison to native pupils, primarily as a result of inferior knowledge of the Swedish language. Based on a statistical analysis (Differential item functioning) of questions given at national tests in geography (2014-2017), it was possible to identify questions where pupils following the syllabus of Swedish as a second language attain either considerably better or more inferior results than expected. Earlier research has shown that pupils whose native language is not Swedish find it particularly hard to comprehend geographic concepts, which was confirmed by the present study. This study furthermore revealed that in particular questions containing a limited amount of text concerning geographic concepts resulted in larger differences than expected between native pupils following the syllabus in Swedish and foreign born pupils following the syllabus in Swedish as a second language. These findings could aid teachers and test constructors in their efforts to adjust teaching and tests by not formulating questions that measure irrelevant background factors, which might affect the pupils’ ability to answer questions adequately, based on their level of knowledge.Keywords: National tests in geography, question format, pupils born outside Sweden, Swedish-born pupils, DIF-analysis
