TIMSS Advanced 2008 is an international comparative study, and deals with examining student achievement in mathematics and physics in the final year at upper secondary school. The theme of this article is to look at how Norwegian and Swedish students performed in physics in 2008 compared to the study conducted in 1995. The results from the TIMSS Advanced study provide an unambiguous picture. There is a significant decline in the performance in physics since the previous study in 1995 for both Norwegian and Swedish students. One important reason is related to the generally low level of results in science and mathematics at all levels in schools as shown by the downward trend for students in lower grades. The decline in physics performance can thus be explained by the fact that students with significantly weaker skills than before in mathematics and science come into upper secondary school. Lack of knowledge of basic arithmetic and algebra seems to be a contributing factor for this downwards trend in physics at upper secondary school level.

Almost 700 Swedish and South African students from the upper secondary school and first-term chemistry university level responded to our survey on concepts of chemical bonding. The national secondary school curricula and most common textbooks for both countries were also surveyed and compared for their content on chemical bonding. Notable differences between the countries were found in textbooks and in the curriculum regarding the topics of ionic bonding, bond energetics and use of the VSEPR model, the latter being absent in the Swedish curriculum and ionic bonding not explicitly mentioned in the South African curriculum. To some extent these differences are reflected in the students’ responses to the survey. It is also clear that university teachers in both countries must prepare effective counter-measures against deep rooted misunderstandings. For the upper secondary school level it is suggested that the bond energetics and exothermic and endothermic reactions be clearly and carefully presented and separated as the study indicates that mixing of these two concepts is a major cause of confusion.

Pohdin artikkelissani reflektiivistä kirjoittamista lukion äidinkielen ja kirjallisuuden opetuksessa: tarkastelen, miten reflektio näkyy lukiolaisten omaa kirjoittamista pohtivissa teksteissä. Liitän reflektion kirjoittajaidentiteetteihin, jotka hahmotan jatkuvina itsen ymmärtämisen prosesseina ja joihin ympäristöllä on suuri vaikutus. Käsitykseni taustalla vaikuttaa narratiivisen identiteetin teoria (Ricœur 1991, 1992), joka hahmottaa itsen ymmärtämisen hermeneuttisena kehänä. Tutkimusaineistoni koostuu 50:stä lukiolaisen omaa kirjoittamista reflektoivasta tekstistä. Kirjoitelma-aineiston lingvistisen analyysin perusteella reflektio näkyy pohdiskelevissa teksteissä etenkin omien valintojen ymmärtämisenä ja lukijan puoleen kurkottamisena. Kirjoittajat jakavat omaa kokemustaan ja toisaalta asettuvat keskustelemaan vaihtoehtoisten näkemysten kanssa.   Upper secondary school students’ writer identities and the process of self-understanding – reflective writing in the teaching of mother tongue and literature Abstract In my article I discuss reflective writing in the teaching of mother tongue and literature at the upper secondary school level. I associate reflection with writer identities, which I perceive as processes of self-understanding, influenced by the environment. This view is based on the theory of narrative identity (Ricœur 1991, 1992), which outlines self-understanding as a hermeneutic circle. The research material consists of 50 reflective texts written by upper secondary school students. According to the linguistic analysis of the texts, reflection is manifested as understanding about personal choices and reaching out to the reader. The writers present their own experiences as shared and, on the other hand, discuss alternative views within their texts. Keywords: writing, reflection, upper secondary school, mother tongue education, writer identity

Central exams which are reflection of structure of education systems determine many schooling processes. Especially, scores coming from these exams are indicators for student performance. Transition to upper-secondary school from lower-secondary school is based on “System of Transition to Upper-Secondary Schools” (LGS). The current study aimed to examine the relationship between scores on System of Transition to High Schools (LGS) and student, classroom, and school level variables. The design of the study is a correlational research. The random sample consisted of 731 students from 47 classrooms in the 15 lower-secondary schools. Secondary data coming from educational institutions via school information form were analyzed by Hierarchical Linear Modelling (HLM). School success score as a student-level variable, experience of a class teacher as a classroom-level variable, and a number of exam branch teachers, and a number of teachers assigned in support and training courses as school-level variables predicted significantly students’ performance in LGS. Considering the results of the current study, activities for professional development of teachers is recommended urgently to increase performance of the students. Keywords: educational policy, HLM, student performance, teacher experience, transition to upper-secondary school
