This study includes designing, implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of process-based
measures for improving interprofessional collaboration in Norwegian primary schools (5-7th
grades). Focusing on leadership and organizational development, the overarching aim is to
improve the use of existing interprofessional competence within schools. The interventions
include meetings at municipal-level (strategic), school-level (operative) and class-level
(operative), with feedback procedures to ensure communication between and within all levels.
Also school internal and school external collaborators are involved at all levels of
intervention.
In order to avoid contradictory roles, an implementation team is responsible for developing
and implementing the intervention, while the research team conduct an independent evaluation.
The model will be evaluated by a cluster-randomized design to evaluate the effectiveness of
the intervention. The hypothesis is that schools that utilize the process-based intervention
(intervention group) will improve their interprofessional team work in a way that enhances
the pupil's learning- environment and teachers professional competence, self-efficacy and
efficient use of working hours compared to their counterparts in the control group. We
anticipate main effects to be found at pupil level, mainly through improved early assessment,
intervention and efficient follow-up. The project is a collaboration between four Norwegian
municipalities and includes a total of 37 Schools, half of which will be randomized to
experimental condition and half to control condition.
The project is financed by The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training with a
duration of three years and three months. The project is led by Professor Ira
Malmberg-Heimonen. The project is a collaboration between Faculty of Social Sciences and the
Work Research Institute (AFI), at Oslo and Akerhus University College of Applied Sciences.
Participants in the project are Ira Malmberg-Heimonen (project leader), Anne Grete Tøge,
Therese Saltkjel, Knut Fossestøl, Elin Borg and Selma Therese Lyng. Participants in the
implementation team are Øyvind Pålshaugen, Hanne Christoffersen and Christian Wittrock, also
from Oslo and Akerhus University College of Applied Sciences, in addition to Torbjørn Lund
from the Arctic University of Norway
