Shadow Education in Denmark: In the Light of the Danish History of Pedagogy and the Skepticism Toward Competition

“…In the aftermath of the Second World War and the German occupation of Denmark, and in the light of the (re)construction of the Danish society and welfare state, there was an intensive civil and political interest in the development of Democracy (Hermann, 2007; Koch, 1995; Nielsen & Rasmussen, 2003). As a result, an educational optimism emerged, which also led to renewed pedagogical discourses within the political system, educational institutions, and teachers (Degn et al, 2018; Dorf, 1986; Sørensen, 1977). With democracy as a guiding principle, we see a pedagogical displacement from an earlier focus on children’s skills in school to a new attention toward children as human beings (Hermann, 2007; O.…”

“…The new pedagogical ideal emerging through the 1960s and 1970s of the critical and independent child was to be realized through an activating and child-involving pedagogical approach in schools, which would also assure equal opportunities for all children regardless of their social or economic backgrounds (Degn et al, 2018). In a new education Act in 1975, it is underlined that the Folkeskole must focus on preparing the children for co-decision-making and solving of common tasks on the basis of joint responsibility in the democratic society (Folketinget, 1975; Korsgaard et al, 2014).…”

“…A human resource thinking was entering the school debate with ideas of clear objectives and more strict curriculums, affecting the teaching environments. Increasingly, the pupil was regarded a resource for development and economic growth of society (Degn et al, 2018).…”

“…Today, education, high performance, and formal competencies are regarded as necessities for the wealth of society and the continuance of the welfare state—accepting a clear causality between educational quality and economic growth (Degn et al, 2018; Hermann, 2007; O. K. Pedersen, 2011).…”

En foranderlig tilværelse ved kysten: At leve i et risikoområde. En miljøhistorisk undersøgelse af modstandskraft, sårbarhed og tilpasning på Limfjordstangen, 1760-1875.

“…5856 Pinholt 1921.57 Rheinheimer 2016.58 Rheinheimer 2016:Degn et al 1993.Figur 9 viser det samlede antal fødsler i Harboøre Sogn fra 1813 til 1845 fordelt efter måned og undfangelsesmåned.Det sidste vaesentlige demografisk udviklingstraek fra Limfjordstangen, som belyses i dette indledende afsnit, er den erhvervsmaessige udvikling, som sker på tvaers af de to sogne, der både understøtter forskellene i befolkningsudviklingen, men samtidig er med til at begrunde valget af begge sogne. Dette skal ikke direkte ses i relation til undersøgelsen af muligheder for at drive kombinationsnaering belyst i artikel 3, men naermere for at understøtte, at der i løbet af undersøgelsesperioden skete nogle forskellige erhvervsmaessige aendringer, som gav nye muligheder på Limfjordstangen.I bogen 'Stormflod', samt artiklen 'Between Adaption and Mitigation: The nineteenth-century North Sea storm surges and the entangled Socio-Natural Transformation of the Limfjord Region, Denmark' argumenterer Bo Poulsen for, hvilken betydning gennembruddet af Agger Tange fik for den resterende del af fjorden, herunder nye erhvervsmuligheder, der medførte vaekst til købstaederne inde i fjorden, herunder Lemvig, Arbejdere ved kystsikringsanlaegget på vej hjem fra tangen, 1904.…”
