This paper describes a case of an international student online project. The project was a part of cooperation between two European educational institutions, 0stfold University College in Norway and University of Wismar in Germany. An international student group consisting of three German students and five Norwegian students joined this project. Technically, the project was testing of an open source based online platform, LearnLoop (http://www.learnloop.org/). Organizationally, the project was used as a preparing phase for German visiting students, as well as international openings for Norwegian students. The project topic was focused on international communication and environment issues. As a result, the German students were able to getting familiar with Norway and Norwegian education system, and working methods. The Norwegian students also acquired international experiences by working this project with their German costudents. This paper describes the process of this joint international student project, and presents the detailed analysis of online activities, as well as offline student activities throughout the project phases.

The Relationship

Present research study overviews the manifestations of problematic teenage behaviour in the schools of Norway. In terms of problematic behaviour, a few aspects should be taken into consideration. First of all, it is important to define the problematic behaviour phenomenon. That is not an easy task, because not uncommonly, when analysing manifestations of problematic behaviour, links with emotional disorders are identified as well. In this manner it is almost impossible to separate the two, as well as to foresee the cause and effect relationship. That is why very commonly problematic behaviour ant emotional issues such as social isolation coexists together. Professionals working in Norwegian education system define problematic behaviour as a behaviour related to learning difficulties – that is inappropriate behaviour during classes causing various discipline disorders; provocative/aggressive behaviour, which manifests in physical and verbal attacks towards other individuals; social isolation and severe behavioural problems such as disregard of social norms and rules, stealing, harm-causing physical attacks, constant harassing, missing classes and vicious habits. Data used in this study was collected during Norwegian national project SPEED (2012–2016), which took place in 95 secondary schools in 16 municipalities and one of the authors master’s thesis was produced on the basis of collected data. During the study, 5–10 grade students and teachers were interviewed and main challenges concerning problematic behaviour in today’s education were characterized, as well as their relationship with social skill development. Analysed data created an opportunity to assess current situation focusing on prevention and individual problem solving method application approaches in individual and inclusive education system perspective, emphasising the relationship between those two. Furthermore, obtained data was compared with the results of prior research studies conducted in Norway, where the relationship between various forms of problematic behaviour and different social skills was previously shown.

The University

Throughout 2018/2019, The Futures Lab, Inc. (TFL) was commissioned to undertake a comprehensive foresight study on the potential futures for universities in Norway. For the most part, the project followed the full, TFL comprehensive six-stage foresight process and a number of customized approaches that leveraged the specificities of the Norwegian Education System. The foresight project covered two future time horizons, namely 2025 to 2030 and 2031 to 2040. Rather than focus here on the Future of the University project itself, this paper considers five experimental foresight methods that produced an extra edge to the creative inputs to this project and delivered some unexpected and critical insights that became decisive platforms and framing cues for the ultimate seven futures scenarios that were delivered, and for which strategies and action plans were created. The term experimental foresight is interpreted as freeform thinking, testing the boundaries, incorporating unorthodox, disparate approaches, tools, artifacts and environment, and real-time improvization, it is about testing new techniques and repurposing and updating older ones. Experimental foresight is closely allied with and some would claim often indistinguishable from experiential futures, which has become prominent within foresight. We distinguish the two insomuch that experiential refers to the way the foresight is conducted, whereas experimental is what is conducted. The paper describes the five experimental foresight methods and techniques based upon theory, practice and proprietary development processes, reflecting various approaches to creative thinking. The paper outlines the design and architecture of each method as well as how it was applied to the Future of the University project, the outcomes, values and benefits. Where appropriate examples of the outcomes have been used to explain or underpin the purpose and benefits of the method under discussion. The methods selected are always harmonized with the more linear, mathematical and modeling applied in the practice of foresight.

Artikkelen tar opp fremmedspråkenes formidling av interkulturell kompetanse, og hvordan denne er knyttet til skolens samlede danningsprosjekt. Artikkel-forfatterne diskuterer hvordan migrantnarrativer kan brukes som inngangs-portal til utviklingen av interkulturell kompetanse, og hvordan disse narrativ-ene, gjennom å presentere det pedagogen Gerhard Neuner kaller universelle sosiokulturelle erfaringer, er egnet som materiale for perspektivforflytning og evnen til å se “den andre”, som er sentrale begrep innenfor det interkulturelle undervisningsparadigmet. Tidligere forskning har vist at fremmedspråkenes læremidler i begrenset grad benytter seg av det potensialet som ligger i arbeidet med interkulturell kompetanse knyttet til språkområdene. Artikkelforfatterne har derfor foretatt analyser av læreverktekster i fransk, spansk og italiensk, valgt ut på grunnlag av forståelsen av migrantnarrativer som særlig egnet for å jobbe med denne typen kompetanse. De undersøkte tekstene representerer ulike sider ved migrant¬narrativer (estetisk, kulturelt og historisk), men krever en grad av kontekstuali¬sering for å kunne fungere som døråpnere for interkulturell kompetanse.Nøkkelord: interkulturell kompetanse, universelle sosiokulturelle erfaringer, fremmedspråkundervisning, migrantnarrativerAbstractThis article discusses the mediation of intercultural competence in foreign language teaching, and how it is connected to the school’s overall education project (‘danning’, ‘bildung’). We argue that migrant narratives are useful as a tool for developing intercultural competence, and examine how these narratives, by presenting what Gerhard Neuner terms universal sociocultural experiences, may contribute to new and revised perspectives, as well as a deeper under¬standing of ‘the other’, which are key terms in the intercultural pedagogy para¬digm.Previous research has shown that textbooks only to a limited extent apply the potential for working with intercultural competence in foreign language teaching. The article presents visual and textual analyses of texts presenting migrant narratives in textbooks of French, Italian and Spanish, that are currently used in the Norwegian education system. The analyzed texts demon-strate different aspects of migrant narratives (aesthetic, cultural and historical), but require contextualization in order to contribute to the development of inter¬cultural competence.Keywords: intercultural competence, universal sociocultural experiences, foreign language teaching, migrant narratives

The Core

The Principles of Islam requirehuman to maintain  and improve their moral values BuT in fact, many  Moslems  face problems of moral deteriora tion, crisis of beliefs, and moral decadence that happenin all aspects of life. This moral deterioration is often associated by  the  experts  of  education  with the failure of educat ion. The failure of education relates to the education system that has various components that affect each other. The elements needed in the education system are the goal of education , educators, students, tool s,  and  natural  surroundings. The results of this study indicate that the essence of  spiritual  learning obligations according to Syaikh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilaniy is araising the total of  truth towards  Allah SWT's path.  The aims of the learning areto implement knowledge and clean  the heart (tazkiyyah al-nafs) from worldly characters and the lust of dirtiness to ma'rifatullah. Spiritual educators are  those who  practice  the law of Allah, clean the heart and  guide  students to the  safety of life  in the Hereafter . Learners constantly face Allah and obey Him, do not meet the call besides Allah, listen  to  the  call  of  Allah  and implement everything stated in the Qur ·an  and  the  Prophet tradition. Teaching method used is the method of mau'izhah, sima',  ahwal ,   and   muhasabah  fial-nafs (introspection). Educational materials are  based  on  the  basics  of  spiritual education in the Qur'an, the Prothet tradition. and the opinion of Muslim religious leaders who have noble characters and integrate science.  Moral education  is  the core of Islamic education. The implications of the spiritual educational thought of Syaikh 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilaniy toward the reality of Islamic education in Indonesia is the emphasis of moral education that leads to a balance relationship  between  the  exoteric  and esoteric aspects of the learning process.
