Courses taught

 

  • Mathematics didactics, Primary school teacher education 1-7
  • Mathematics didactics, Kindergarten teacher education
Research areas

My current research interests are related to play and argumentation, both at kindergarten and school, and the use of ICT (photography, programming, etc.) in teaching.

I am currently working on exploration of the playful approach to teaching in teacher education practice. In the education design project LekForsk we have been developing and trying out ExPedLab methodology in workshops for teacher educators and in educational workshops for students on kindergarten teacher education.
