Doctoral students in PROFS graduate school
Stephane Francois, Applied Physics
My research interest concerns the analysis of different methods in conceptual learning of physics for implementation and development in teacher education.
Christer Petersson, Political Science
My research interest is public administration and its civil servants. My research relates to teachers' scope of action, how it is limited, enabled and their handling of the dilemmas that may arise. A particular focus in my research is the institutional context and how it affects teachers' ways of dealing with different dilemmas and their scope of action.
Kerstin Löf, Education
My research interest revolves around the ever-growing interest in measurement and evaluation of education and its consequences, specifically for preschool practice. In my dissertation project I investigate and experiment together with preschool professionals how evaluation is done and what happens if evaluation is done in other or new ways.
Johan Miyatani, Political Science
My research interest is learning for sustainable development (LHU). My research relates to teachers' agency and practice in relation to LHU and whether the inclusion of social dilemmas in teaching can be used to increase opportunities for students to internalize knowledge and enable future navigation of environmental dilemmas in their everyday lives.
Christian Holmberg Sjöling, English and Education
My thesis project focuses on upper secondary school teachers' assessment of the written part of the national test in English in relation to the Swedish National Agency for Education's expectations. With a quantitative approach, I investigate how/if different linguistic dimensions such as vocabulary, phraseology, grammar, syntax, structure, text binding and correctness correlate with grading.
Lisa Jakobs, Education
My research interest concerns the emerging academization of the teaching profession in the context of extended responsibility. The dissertation work highlights and addresses those aspects of teachers' communicative competence and readiness for action that are based on the meeting between theory and practice.
Niclas Siljelöv, Swedish and Education
My research interest concerns literature discussions and the use of different types of narrative forms in upper secondary school Swedish. In my dissertation project, I intend to construct and implement a teaching design that is based on media other than fiction and that has text conversations in focus.
Maria Lundkvist, Mathematics and Science Education
My research interest revolves around upper secondary school mathematics education and how it affects students' attitudes towards mathematics. The thesis project is about how a specific teaching method is introduced to active teachers, what they think about the method and how participating students perceive the method with a focus on affective factors.
Elin Ruth, English and Education
My research interest concerns the conditions for language learning that can be created in co-writing in English in primary school years 4-6. The dissertation project highlights the different dimensions of co-writing from a student and teacher perspective through interviews and applications of the approach in classrooms. When staging co-writing, the focus is on the writing process as well as on the final product in the form of student texts.
Carl-Alexander Allwood, Education
My research area concerns the role of emotions in pedagogy and teaching. In my thesis project, I work with basic research that highlights the breadth, importance and scope of different types of emotions to understand how they affect teaching.
Erik Bergqvist, Mathematics and Science Education
My research interest is students' thinking in mathematics, with a focus on computational thinking, and its relation to study results in mathematics. Computational thinking is included in the curriculum for mathematics in primary and secondary school from the fall of 2018 and the thesis project aims to increase the knowledge of the relationship between students' mindset, computational thinking and study results, which contributes to an increased understanding of how the proportion of students with good study results in mathematics can increase.
Theres Brännmark, Swedish and Education
My research interest revolves around first and second language didactics and the linguistic landscape in learning environments in Norrbotten County. The aim of the thesis project is to make students' linguistic identity visible in a multilingual society.
Björn Emmoth, Education
My research focus is on aesthetic learning processes in school activities. In the dissertation project I study how these processes can be defined and positioned and what potential they have in school activities.
Moa Frid, Education
My research interest is based on questions about teaching in preschool. After the teaching mission in the preschool curriculum was clarified a few years ago, there is uncertainty about how teaching should be done within the framework of preschool education. In my dissertation work, I explore together with active educators from preschool how teaching takes place in preschool practices.
Anne Tossavainen, Mathematics and Science Education
My research interest concerns student teachers' knowledge in mathematics with a focus on teaching fractions in primary school. The dissertation project aims to increase knowledge about students' knowledge and contribute to the development of mathematics education in teacher education by linking theory and practice.
