JPHE's 5 year 'anniversary issue’ has just been published!
The first paper in this anniversary issue is written by Angervall and Heikkinen and is based on an interview with Professor Hannu Heikkinen from Jyväskylä University in Finland. The paper is titled: ‘Nothing can grow forever’, Working with planetary praxis in higher education. It explores aspects of praxis, and the concept of planetary praxis and its purpose for what Heikkinen calls a ‘life worth living’.
In Rost-Banik and Perrotti’s research paper, Interrogating calls for increased national service: A political discourse analysis, two recent US national reports that call for expanding civic education within higher education are analysed. In Johnsson, Eklund and Nyckel’s paper, Clinical learning in times of crises: How the Covid 19 pandemic affected nursing students clinical learning and strategies, the authors discuss how the pandemic affected parts of nursing education in Sweden. And the research paper by Florin Sädbom, ‘Like stepping into a spaceship’: Adjunct lecturers lived experiences during their initial time in teacher education programs in Sweden, concerns how teachers that are new in teacher education experience their work context.
In Åberg’s research paper, Judgement fields and practising processes, Åberg elaborates on how musical practice can highlight relationships between reflection and practice in art forms as in professional practices. In Jacobs and Frick’s research paper, The praxis of cohort supervision in a Comprehensive Open Distance e-Learning University: A conceptual framework, the authors discuss how one South African university is contextualising the need for alternative assessment and supervision practices.
And finally, in Sarauw and Frederiksen’s paper, Do university students fake learning? Notes from the field on student learning and engagement as a performative practice’, the authors discuss whether student-centered ideals of participatory, embodied, and emotionally-driven educational engagement inadvertently foster ‘fake learning’ in Higher education.
