Field of work
Ph.D. Candidate in the doctoral program "Studies of Bildung and Didactical practices".
Research areas
My research concerns democratic citizenship education in teacher education. The main question of my doctoral thesis is how democratic citizenship education is explored in a practice-based teacher education program through rehearsals. The project adopts a qualitative approach focusing on pre-service teachers' experiences and perspectives.
My Ph.d.-project is connected to Rehearsing Teaching Professionally (ReTPro) at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. Central elements of my research include the understanding of democratic citizenship from a bildung perspective, pre-service teachers' experiences with reflective rehearsals, the social and critical dimensions of citizenship, and opportunities and challenges that arise within practice-based teacher education. The aim is to contribute to insights in, and development of, teacher education practice in relation to democratic citizenship understood as a cross-disciplinary theme in education.
