    How Critical can you be as an Ongoing-evaluator?2010In: International Journal of Action Research, ISSN 1861-1303, E-ISSN 1861-9916, Vol. 6, no 2-3, p. 256-287Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article discusses experiences of on-going evaluation within a project funded by the EU Structural Funds. A question that is particularly illustrated is how we as on-going evaluators have handled the dilemma between closeness and involvement in the project in relation to distance and a critical approach. This dilemma is standard within action- and interactive research and becomes particularly evident in a concrete reality within a project. The problem is important to illustrate, especially considering the fact that the on-going evaluation task is politically governed, that is, the EU requires that the customary evaluation be replaced with an on-going evaluation. Furthermore, on-going evaluation finds itself in a developmental phase where discussions are carried on about how to define the concept and also on how the role as an on-going evaluator should be worked out. A possible outcome of this could be that the on-going evaluation becomes far too uncritical, or critical, and with that not come up to the expectations that are placed. In this article the point of departure is that the task of the on-going evaluator is to follow the development in a project vis-á-vis established goals with the purpose of creating practice-relevant knowledge. We also discuss the balancing that exists between being supportive of progress, giving constructive criticism and not being regarded as far too critical. After having worked in an innovative development project for two years, we have been strengthened in our understanding that the interactive research approach, concept usage, theoretical connection and methodological knowledge constitute imperative demands in order to handle the changing between closeness and distance

    Projekt Centrum för telemedicin: Följeutvärderingsrapport2014Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Strukturfonderna är EU:s viktigaste verktyg för att minska regionala skillnader inom och mellan medlemsländerna. I den tredje programperioden, 2007-2013, satsas med nationell medfinansiering mer än 30 miljarder kronor i olika strukturfondsprojekt. Det ekonomiska stödet ska användas till insatser för regional utveckling, sysselsättning och kompetenshöjning i Sverige. Under programperioden har utvärderingsupplägget ändrats till "on-going evaluation", följeforskning, som syftar till att fortlöpande utvärdera projekten för få underlag till nya vägval och alternativa aktiviteter som bättre leder projekten mot effektmålen. Ytterligare förändring är att medlemsländerna ska visa att de utvecklar utvärderingskapacitet (evaluation capacity building) som kan ta sig an nya krav på följeforskning. Den europeiska kommissionen betonar även att erfarenheter och kunskaper från utvärderingsinsatserna kontinuerligt ska leda till lä-rande i program och projekt liksom till offentlig diskussion, public debate. I föreliggande slutrapport redogörs för den följeforskning som genomförts inom strukturfondsprojektet Centrum för Telemedicin, CTM under tiden 2012-2013 där syftet var att utvärdera projektets utveckling mot uppsatta mål. Centralt i denna lärande utvärdering har varit dialogen med projektledaren, projektdeltagarna och representanten för projektägaren. Rollen som följeforskare har inriktats på att vara stödjande, men också störande, det vill säga ifrågasättande och kritisk. Rapporten är indelad i fyradelar. Den första beskriver bakgrunden till projektet, dess syfte och mål. I den andra delen redogörs för följeforskningens metodologiska utgångspunkter och därefter redovisas resultatet i den tredje delen. I den avslutande delen förs ett framåtsyftande resonemang om vilka hållbara effekter som projektet bidragit med.

    Team learning activities: Reciprocal learning through the development of a mediating tool for sustainable learning2012In: Learning Organization, ISSN 0969-6474, E-ISSN 1758-7905, Vol. 19, no 6, p. 456-468Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose: The purpose of this article is to show how a model for sustainable learning has been formed in the meetings between practitioners and researchers. Design/methodology/approach: With the point of departure in an interactive research approach, the authors have worked with learning and common knowledge development. Empirical data were collected from nine learning seminars, which were carried out within the framework of an EU project. Findings: It is shown by means of empirical examples from an ongoing EU project how the pedagogic method of learning seminars came to be a mediating tool for reciprocal learning between researchers, project leaders and project participants. Originality/value: The learning seminars constituted an important part of a reflexive learning process where the learning consists of both practicable and theoretically anchored knowledge. Together with the project participants, the authors developed a model for sustainable learning. This model consists of a reflection model, which rests on four fundamental conditions; pedagogic leadership, the learning group, problem areas/situation and time aspects. This article fills a significant knowledge gap in terms of the development of learning within organizations.

    Kartläggning av chefers vardag i Karlskrona kommuns samlade verksamheter2015Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Bakgrund: En generell bild som ges av flera förvaltningar inom Karlskrona kommun är att arbetssituationen för många chefer, särskilt på mellannivå, är ohållbar. Denna bild har förstärkts av organisationens medarbetarundersökning 2013, men också av den genomgång av ledningsstrukturen vid Barn- och ungdomsförvaltningen, som utfördes 2014 av Ernst & Young Q1. Mot denna bakgrund har en kartläggning av kommunens samlade verksamheter initierats. Enligt projektplanen förväntas denna resultera i en tydlig beskrivning av innehållet i chefers vardag avseende ”arbetsuppgifter, beslutsunderlag och glädjeämnen samt ett förslag på åtgärder för att uppnå ett önskat läge avseende hållbara beslut, god arbetsmiljö, upplev arbetsglädje och hållbart ledarskap”.

    Lärande utvärdering i ESF-projektet Kompetens i vård och omsorg, KIVO. Slutrapport.2014Report (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Projektet ”Kompetens i vård och omsorg”, KIVO är ett Europeiskt socialfondsprojekt (ESF) som genomfördes under tiden 2011-10-01 till 2013-09-30. Projektägare är Landstinget Blekinge och chefen för Blekinge kompetenscentrum är projektägarens ombud. Inom projektet finns samarbetsavtal mellan Landstinget Blekinge, Äldre förvaltningen, Karlskrona kommun och Hälsohuset för alla AB. Den totala projektbudgeten var 8749 920 SEK.1 KIVO är ett tvåårigt projekt som har haft en lång startsträcka. Det innebär att aktiviteterna inom projektet startade på allvar först i november 2012 och genomfördes under 11 månader. En förklaring är att flera inom nuvarande projektledningsgruppen började arbeta med projektet i slutet av år 2012 eller i början av år 2013. I föreliggande slutrapport redogörs för den lärande utvärdering som bedrivits inom KIVO under tiden 2013-01-01 och 2013-09-30. Syftet var att följa projektets arbete mot uppsatta mål. Centralt i den lärande utvärderingen har varit dialogen med projektledarna, projektledningsgruppen och projektägarens representant. Min roll har varit stödjande, men också störande under processen det vill säga ifrågasättande och kritisk. Rapporten är indelad i fem delar. Första delen beskriver bakgrunden till projektet, dess syfte och mål. I den andra delen presenteras metodologiska utgångspunkter för den lärande utvärderingen. Den tredje delen fokuserar på arbetet med hållbart lärande och hållbar jämställdhet. Analys och resultat av den lärande utvärderingen redovisas i del fyra. Slutligen i del fem förs ett framåtsyftande resonemang om vilka hållbara effekter som projektet bidragit med. Förhoppningen är att denna slutrapport kan bidra till reflektion och lärande kring förutsättningar för att ett projekt som KIVO ska uppnå långsiktiga effekter, samtidigt som den lyfter fram den faktiska måluppfyllelsen som projektet har uppnått.

    Integration of theory and practice in higher education2012In: International Journal of Educational Research, ISSN 0883-0355, E-ISSN 1873-538X, Vol. 53, p. 370-380Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    ABSTRACT. This article discusses how theoretical and practical knowledge is integrated in higher education. With the point of departure in an interactive research approach we have worked with the formalizing of knowledge exchange and with common knowledge development. The overall purpose of the research project was to describe and analyze a learning process where both practicable and theoretically anchored knowledge is in the forefront. By following the education in a social-science programme, a model for sustainable learning was developed. In the centre of the model is a learning process for the integration of theory and practice where the intended learning outcomes, general skills, course literature and time constitute the established framework. Different forms of interaction and workplace-related studies became mediating tools, that is, they created opportunities for learning departing from dialogue, questioning, reflection and analysis.

    Interaction patterns in a steering group: Power and action outcome2014In: Economic and Industrial Democracy, ISSN 0143-831X, E-ISSN 1461-7099, Vol. 35, no 2, p. 325-340Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The purpose of this article is to study interaction patterns within a steering group. Most large projects include a group of this kind whose task it is to steer towards set goals and provide the required resources. The origin of the research area lies in the observation that steering groups seem to have difficulties in living up to the expectations of project management and project participants, despite structured working methods such as regular meetings, distribution of responsibility and cooperation with different interested parties. By means of interviews and observations the article attempts to capture interaction patterns in a specific steering group. The study is anchored in theories of power with the purpose of supplying theoretical concepts and analytical tools. The most important conclusion is that the interaction patterns that emerged in the steering group rested on two foundations. The first one was that social relations in the steering group created power that was produced and manifested in different ways. The second one was that the exercise of power affected the action outcome, that is, the results of the actions and consequences for future actions. Another conclusion is that the exercising of the assignment presupposes four premises: the steering group member needs to have a positive approach to the project idea and the set goals, to have knowledge of the assignment, to have a position with the authority to make and carry out strategic decisions of the project, and be able to allocate time for active work and participation in meetings.

    Expert system to calculate the cofficient of friction: an approach to enhance traffic safety2004In: Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems, 2004 IEEE Conference on, Singapore, 2004, Vol. 2, p. 803-808Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Friction plays a key role in causing slipperiness as a low coefficient of friction on the road may result in slippery and hazardous conditions. Analyzing the strong relation between friction and accident risk on winter roads is a difficult task. Many weather forecasting organizations use a variety of standard and bespoke methods to predict the coefficient of friction on roads. This article proposes an approach to predict the extent of slipperiness by building and testing an expert system. It estimates the coefficient of friction on winter roads in the province of Dalarna, Sweden using the prevailing weather conditions as a basis. Weather data from the road weather information system, Sweden (RWIS) was used. The focus of the project was to use the expert system as a part of a major project in VITSA, within the domain of intelligent transport systems
