I am interested in the field of teaching and learning sciences. I am particularly interested in the contribution of certain teaching-learning activities, i.e., practical work or tasksr, to students' learning and understanding in the subject of chemistry. I use qualitative research methods that analyse written student work and classroom talk. The findings show what students achieve through the different activities and how the quality of the teaching can be enhanced.

A second field of interest is the education of science/chemistry teachers both, in initial teacher education and teacher professional development. The aim is to strengthen the links between theory and practice and hence, influence teaching practice by research.

Teaching

I teach the following courses:

RDID100 (science and mathematics education)

KJEMDID200 (chemistry education)

Master thesis

Master projects are offered in the field of improving teaching and learning in chemistry and science. They should be based on practical experiences and data collected in the field.

Current master thesis

Assessment in chemistry - impact on teaching and learning
