More about the project

My doctoral project investigates how professional learning processes can contribute to the development of high-quality, inclusive mathematics instruction in lower and upper secondary school. The study is conducted within an Educational Design Research (EDR) framework and follows collaborations between teachers, special educators, school leaders, and researchers.

The project focuses on how instruction is designed, tested, and further developed through collegial processes, and how such processes can build sustainable capacity at the school level. A central question concerns how students with prior experiences of difficulty in mathematics can be given genuine access to shared mathematical reasoning.
