Personal profile
Research
I am currently focusing my research activities within Science Education Research, and I am the academic leader of the research group Learning in Science and Mathematics.
Among my research interests are children's, students' and teachers' views and uses of theories and theoretical models in explanations and during discussions. I am generally interested in the relationship between views on the nature of Science and the teaching and learning of Science, especially in connection to the uses of ubiquitous computing.
Teaching
I am a Professor of Physics Education at Kristianstad University, Sweden. I have a MSc, MEd (teachers certificate) and PhD in Physics from Lund University. I teach Physics, Astronomy and Science Education, foremost pre- and in-service teacher education and I am appointed Excellent teacher.
