In this episode, we are exploring a student's perspective on open science – and specifically replication studies. Kristoffer Klevjer recently finished his Master’s degree in psychology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and has now taken on a PhD. But already as a master student, Klevjer was involved in replication studies. In his experience, replication studies can be benefitial to the student, the supervisor, and the scientific community at large. Furthermore, Klevjer argues that replications can be well suited for students at Bachelor level as well. In the interview, Klevjer refers to several publications and projects, including - The Collaborative Replications and Education Project - Kool, W., McGuire, J. T., Rosen, Z. B., & Botvinick, M. M. (2010). Decision making and the avoidance of cognitive demand. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 139(4), 665–682. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0020198 - Psychological Science Accelerator The replication Klevjer did for his Master's degree can be found here First published online March 9, 2020.

We present a case of a 57-year-old male architect with a master’s degree in economics who ran his own business and gave lectures until 2016, with a clynical picture of 16 years of evolution which began with anxiety symptoms, excessive concern about trivial events, as well as difficulty in planning and decision making. In the last 3 years, there is evidence of social isolation, difficulty in finding words and decreased verbal fluency; he omits connectors in the grammatical composition in association with ritualistic, stereotyped and perseverative behavior (makes several paintings from the same photograph).

UiT Norges arktiske universitet har gjennomført en nasjonal pilot i grunnskolelærerutdanning på masternivå, hvor de første studentene fullførte utdanningen og leverte masteroppgave våren 2015. Denne artikkelen fokuserer på hvilken relevans studentene opplever at masteroppgaven har for den fremtidige profesjonsutøvelsen deres. Å undersøke studentenes oppfatning av masterarbeidet er av betydning, ikke bare fordi masterutdanning blir en nasjonal ordning fra 2017, men også for å utvikle kunnskap om betydningen av forsknings- og utviklingskompetanse for grunnskolelærere. Studiens empiriske materiale er en intervjuundersøkelse med 22 av de 61 første masterstudentene. Undersøkelsen inngår i en longitudinell studie som vil belyse nyutdannedes profesjonslæring i starten av karrieren, og konkret hvordan lærere integrerer kunnskapen fra utdanningen med kunnskap og erfaringer de utvikler som ferske lærere. Resultatene fra denne delstudien viser at masterarbeidet har gitt studentene dybdekunnskap og FoU-kompetanse som er av betydning for den videre profesjonsutøvelsen. Studien viser også at det er betydningsfullt at masteroppgaven har forankring i skolens praksis og bidrar til utviklingen som lærer. Av materialet fremgår det også at studentene fremhever selvstendighet og evne til samarbeid, og de er stolte av masterarbeidet sitt. Resultatene er drøftet opp mot begrepene konseptuell og kontekstuell kunnskap (Afdal & Nerland, 2012; Muller, 2009) og i lys av profesjonsteori. Masterarbeidet synes avgjørende for profesjonsidentiteten, men det vil kreves et systematisk utviklingsarbeid for å kunne gi masterarbeidet kvaliteter som kan støtte opp om studentenes utvikling som profesjonelle lærere. For lærerutdanningene tilsier dette at FoU-kompetanse må gis oppmerksomhet fra første dag i utdanningen.Nøkkelord: grunnskolelærerutdanning, masteroppgave, nyutdannet lærer, FoU-kunnskap, profesjonell identitet, profesjonsidentitet, konseptuell/kontekstuell kunnskapAbstractThe National Teacher Education Curriculum in Norway will from 2017 be taught at master’s level, extending from four to five years. In relation to this, The University of Tromsø, the Arctic University of Norway, in 2010 launched a national pilot program in teacher education: a five year long research-based master’s degree, divided into two programs adjusted to the Norwegian educational system: 1st–7th and 5th–10th grade, from which the first students graduated in the spring of 2015. This article aims to examine the importance the master’s thesis holds for teacher education student’s development of knowledge and future professional work. The analyzed data consist of interviews conducted with 22 of the 61 graduating students from the national pilot program. The study is part of a five-year longitudinal research project, illuminating professional development of newly educated teachers with a master’s degree and in what way knowledge from Initial Teacher Education sustains when encountering the profession. It is important to explore the students’ views of the thesis, not only because the five-year master’s programs will be implemented on a national level, but also because knowledge about the significance of R&D for school teachers is needed. Our analysis shows that the results of the work with the thesis are deep knowledge, R&D competence deemed relevant for teaching, autonomy and interpersonal skills: the students reported feeling proud of their own work. The results are discussed in relation to the concepts contextual and conceptual knowledge (Afdal & Nerland, 2012; Muller, 2009) as well as relating to theories of professionalism. To achieve excellence in a R&D-based program, which can support student teachers’ professional development, a systematic and evolving approach is cruical. For the future development of teacher education at master’s level, this means that R&D competence must be emphasized from day one.Keywords: teacher education, master’s thesis, newly educated teacher, R&D knowledge, professional identity, conceptual/contextual knowledge

в меняющихся условиях экспертиза на всех уровнях управления образованием становится компонентом процессов принятия решений, все более определяющим их качество. В этой связи экспертная деятельность в образовании получает развитие и обосабливается в отдельный тип профессиональных задач, требующий от субъектов экспертной деятельности овладения специальными компетенциями. Успешная подготовка руководителей и организаторов образования к экспертной деятельности может быть реализована в магистратуре по направлению «Педагогическое образование», а также в рамках направления «Государственное и муниципальное управление» с опорой на андрагогический подход и встраивание экспертных технологий в учебную и исследовательскую работу обучающихся. while uncertainty at all levels of educational management, the expertise increases its influence on the quality of decision-making processes and results. Therefore, the educational expert activity is developing and completed as a separate type of professional tasks. It requires subjects of expertise to master special competencies. Successful training for educational managers to expert activities can be implemented through the master’s degree programs on pedagogy and public administration if it bases on andragogical approach and uses expertise as a part of studying and research.

Abstract Background: The Bologna process significantly influenced the change from specialist training in nursing to a master’s degree, as it established the goal of developing an easily readable and comparable degree structure in three cycles, identified as bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, in European higher education. Educational programmes in nursing specialisation in Norway are therefore evolving from nursing specialist training to a Master of Science (MSc) degree. Aim: To describe the development process from a nursing specialisation education to an MSc degree at the Arctic University of Norway (UiT). The paper discusses opportunities and challenges that may be of interest to other educational systems that want to replicate UiT’s experiences with changing education in a nursing specialisation to an MSc degree. Methods: The process of developing the nursing specialisation education at UiT into an MSc degree can be retrospectively described as working from a model inspired by action research as understood by Coghlan and Brannick’s four cycles of constructing, planning, taking action and evaluating action. The process lasted for more than three years, from construction in the beginning of February 2015 to the first enrolment of students in August 2018. Results: The result is a master’s programme in nursing, corresponding to 120 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, with six nursing specialisation lines with shared courses and staff: anaesthesia nursing, paediatric nursing, intensive care nursing, cancer nursing, operating room nursing and general nursing (GN). Challenges associated with ensuring a sufficient academic level balanced with a sufficient level of practical training are identified and discussed. Conclusions: An “umbrella” MSc programme in nursing offers opportunities for shared courses and staff to provide students with a high level of academic and practical skills. There is a need to evaluate the programme to examine whether this method of organising an MSc programme in nursing enhances academic as well as practical nursing skills.

A number of recent reforms in psychological science have centered around following best practices to improve the robustness and reliability of empirical findings. Among these, preregistration has become a fundamental component, on the rise in the last few years, yet it remains relatively uncommon in expertise research. In this paper, I point out the numerous benefits of preregistration, drawing on specific examples from the field of expertise. I then examine some of the challenges the field of psychology is currently facing to implement systematic preregistration, including many that are particularly exacerbated in expertise research. Specifically, I discuss widespread design characteristics such as small sample sizes, the lack of consistent definitions regarding what constitutes expert performance, and inherent difficulties in conducting replication studies with rare, elite populations. Finally, I make a number of recommendations to facilitate preregistration in expertise research, including tips to handle and report deviations from original plans, and discuss future directions toward more prevalent open science practices.

The credibility of scientific claims depends upon the transparency of the research products upon which they are based (e.g., study protocols, data, materials, and analysis scripts). As psychology navigates a period of unprecedented introspection, user-friendly tools and services that support open science have flourished. However, the plethora of decisions and choices involved can be bewildering. Here we provide a practical guide to help researchers navigate the process of preparing and sharing the products of their research (e.g., choosing a repository, preparing their research products for sharing, structuring folders, etc.). Being an open scientist means adopting a few straightforward research management practices, which lead to less error prone, reproducible research workflows. Further, this adoption can be piecemeal – each incremental step towards complete transparency adds positive value. Transparent research practices not only improve the efficiency of individual researchers, they enhance the credibility of the knowledge generated by the scientific community.


scholarly journals 24 «ЮРИДИЧЕСКОЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ И НАУКА» ПРОБЛЕМЫ ЮРИДИЧЕСКОГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ И НАУКИ Опыт разработки и перспективы развития магистерской программы «Право Арктики» Савельев И.В., Пермиловский М.С.* Цель. Развитие и использование инфраструктуры и ресурсов Арктики является стратегическим ориентиром внутренней и внешней политики арктических и других государств. Научное и кадровое обеспечение геополитических интересов России в Арктике невозможно без создания системы непрерывного образования. Одна из проблем эффективности освоения Ар- ктики заключается в отсутствии достаточного количества квалифицированных специалистов, обладающих знаниями, умения- ми, навыками и компетенциями в сфере применения норм различных отраслей права, направленных на регулирование пра- воотношений в Арктическом регионе. В целях решения данной проблемы в Северном (Арктическом) федеральном универ- ситете имени М.В. Ломоносова разработана и реализуется магистерская программа «Право Арктики». Изучение дисциплин, входящих в указанную магистерскую программу, позволит комплексно анализировать вопросы правового регулирования об- щественных отношений в Арктике. Методология: диалектика, абстрагирование, анализ, синтез, дедукция, формально-юри- дический метод. Выводы. Понятие «Право Арктики» является предметом научных исследований как отечественной, так и за- рубежной доктрины. В учебных заведениях, занимающихся вопросами арктического права, отсутствуют самостоятельные магистерские программы, объединяющие дисциплины, изучение которых дало бы представление о проблемах правового ре- гулирования общественных отношений в Арктике и путях решения таких проблем. Магистерской программе «Право Арктики» присущи следующие особенности: уникальность модулей, обеспечение права магистрантов принимать участие в комплексных научно-образовательных экспедициях в Арктическом регионе в рамках проекта «Арктический плавучий университет» и других проектах, предоставление возможности проходить практику, в том числе в органах государственной власти Российской Фе- дерации, взаимодействующих с арктическими государствами и реализующих свои полномочия в Арктической зоне, и в право- вых подразделениях крупных компаний с участием государственного капитала. Научная и практическая значимость. Пред- лагаются варианты дальнейшего развития магистерской программы «Право Арктики», реализация которых позволит усовер- шенствовать процесс профессиональной подготовки кадров для успешного освоения Арктики.

The purpose of the study was to: 1. uncover the decision making factors which potential adult learners consider in their determination to enroll in a graduate program; 2. explore their unique program experiences; and 3. identify anticipated outcomes. The following themes were uncovered: Reasons for Enrollment, Nature of Program Experiences: Transformations, Outcomes: Broader Outlook on Program Impact. Findings demonstrated the impact masters’ programs could have on students in terms of intellectual, employability, and marketability capacities. It also suggests students’ decision making in terms of pursuing a master’s degree might not be as well thought out and calculated as the literature suggests.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand the experiences faced by students during the application process for master's degree programs in speech-language pathology. Method Data were collected through administering an online survey to 365 volunteers who had applied to master's degree programs in speech-language pathology. Survey questions were designed to gain the student perspective of the application process through exploration of students' deciding factors for top choices of graduate programs, emotional involvement in the application process, biases/rumors heard, student challenges, advice to future applicants, and what students would change about the application process. Results Factors that influenced participants' reasoning for selecting their “top choice” programs were largely consistent with previous studies. Issues that shaped the student experience applying to graduate school for speech-language pathology included financial constraints, concern regarding the prominence of metrics such as Graduate Record Examinations scores in the admissions process, a perceived lack of guidance and advising from faculty, and confusion regarding variation among graduate program requirements. Conclusion Gaining insight into the student experience with the application process for graduate programs in speech-language pathology yields useful information from a perspective not frequently explored in prior literature. While the data presented in this study suggest the process is confusing and challenging to many applicants, the discussion highlights practical solutions and sheds light on key issues that should be considered carefully by individual graduate programs as well as the field as a whole.
