About the Project
The Nordic Education Model (NordEd) investigated four aspects of the Nordic education model:
- Pillar 1: Knowledge - Competing traditions, ideals, and concepts of knowledge in the educational policies, pedagogical idea development, and pedagogical practices of the Nordic countries.
- Pillar 2: Curricula and Subject Sequences - Struggles over and the development of curricula and subject sequences in Nordic education.
- Pillar 3: Teacher Cultures and Teacher Education - The emergence of Nordic teacher cultures and teacher education in a comparative perspective.
- Pillar 4: Policy-making and Reform Work - Nordic school reforms in light of international, regional, and national policy-making and reform work.
The choice of these pillars provided a broad perspective on the emergence and formulation of national education systems. Within all four pillars, emphasis was placed on discursive, normative, and practical conflicts, in order to develop approaches that challenge harmonizing concepts of "the Nordic education model."
About the Group
The research group was characterized by great academic diversity and represented a range of different disciplines: Education, gender studies, philosophy, mathematics, music, theology, history, social science, and educational science.
For this reason, the project was also characterized by methodological pluralism, using political network analysis, quantitative and qualitative comparative methods, historical document analysis, conceptual-historical and discourse-analytical approaches, institutional history, intellectual history, and epistemological/philosophical analyses.
The project was led by Professor Inga Bostad and was a collaboration between IPED, ILS, IAKH, IFIKK, STK, IHS, IMV, UB, and TF at the University of Oslo. The project was supported by an international group of advisory experts, and within all four pillars, the project developed Nordic meeting places and networks.

The Nordic Education Model: Conclusive events
The Nordic Education Model-project welcomes you to its final conference.
Time and place: Sep. 14, 2023 2:30 PM – Sep. 15, 2023 4:00 PM, Undervisningsrom 1, Georg Sverdrups hus (day 1) and Auditorium 3 at Helga Engs hus (day 2). Both at University of Oslo, campus Blindern
As a part of the comparative research project NordEd, where the purpose was to examine the Nordic Education Model, a final conference will be held on 14 and 15 of September 2023.
The project examined four different features: knowledge, curricula and subject lines, teacher cultures and teacher training, and policy-making and reform work.
The research group represents large professional diversity within various disciplines. The project has sought to provide broad and critical perspectives on the emergence, sustainability of some common values, and design of the national education systems. The research group has emphasized both current and historical aspects of the Nordic Education Model.
The conclusive events are open to everyone. The programme is listed below. The programme parts that are described in English, will be held in English. The others will be held in Norwegian.

The book will be of great interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduates working across the fields of curriculum, comparative education, cultural studies and history and philosophy of education and education policy.
The book includes 17 chapters, 8 of which written by scholars at the Department of Education.
The volume is edited by professor Daniel Tröhler, postdoctoral researcher Bernadette Hörmann, postdoctoral researcher Sverre Tveit and professor Inga Bostad.

Political Philosophy of Education PhD course
The research group Humanities Studies in Education is offering a PhD course in Political Philosophy of Education.
Time and place: Dec. 9, 2021 – Dec. 10, 2021, University of Oslo
The course is led by Toril Strand and include lectures by Inga Bostad, Claudia Schumann (University of Stockholm) and Judith Suissa (Institute of Education, University College London).
In order to explore some of today's most pressing social issues, we will systematically read and discuss some contemporary thinkers, whose philosophical texts examine key themes raised by these issues – such as the potentiality and limits of inclusion discourses, educational justice and social change. This includes an inquiry of these thinkers’ conception of “the political”.
We will also deliberate on the potential contributions of a few classical thinkers, whose writings relate to the intersection between political and educational philosophy.
The course is particularly valuable for candidates whose research focuses on ethical-political issues related to education in contemporary societies.
The course takes the form of a collaborative research seminar. Consequently, the PhD students’ active engagement with the literature and in the seminar is a vital part of the course content.
PhD candidates at the Faculty of Educational Sciences will be given priority, but it is also possible for others to apply for the course. Applicants must have at least a Master's degree.
Nordic Modes of Bildung, Schooling, and Upbringing - The interplay between individualism, collectivism, and institutionalized lives
Conference organized by the two UiO:Nordic projects “The Nordic Education Model” and “Living the Nordic Model”.
Time and place: Apr. 22, 2021 9:00 AM – Apr. 23, 2021 3:00 PM, Zoom
Images of the modern Nordic societies are often paradoxical: Strongly socially cohesive but renowned for their liberal social values; Equal rights and opportunities for all blended with collective demands and duties; Strong trust and solidarity but less responsibility for helping your neighbor.
The Nordic countries have historically shown both strong collectivist traits epitomized in social democratic concepts like “folkhemmet” (S) or expressions like “raising a building together” (DK) as well as strong individualist traits of universalized individual rights to social goods and services. In the Nordic model of education ideals of a common “folkskola” and of “folkeoplysning/folkbildning” have included both more communitarian as well as more individualistic conceptualizations of “dannelse” (Bildung).
In the field of education individuals are currently urged to optimize their contribution to society. Lifelong learning under the banner of employability is no longer just a possibility but has almost turned into a duty. The strong “welfare states” make equality more possible – but does the turn to strong “competition states” also indicate a new more coercive collectivism?
In the light of these tensions, we aim in this conference at examining historical and current ideals, practices, and institutions related to the formative aspects of Nordic citizens’ lives—their childhoods, parenting values, schooling, education, and lifelong learning. We invite researchers that are engaged in the study of the institutions and arenas in which children and youth are brought up and educated. How have aims and expectations changed over time both in the Nordic settings and worldwide? Are there specific Nordic traditions in Bildung, education, and upbringing? Are they more rooted in common ideals of equality and communitarianism than in other Western and global societies? How are these ideals expressed, justified, and institutionalized in a more globalized era?
