Senior lecturer (assistant professor) in education who mainly teaches, administrates and supervises courses within the teacher education programmes. I took up this position in 2021 after earning a PhD in educational sciences at Lund university two years earlier. Have a mainly quantitative research orientation with focus on learning psychology, moral psychology and teaching development.
I advocate traditional mediation pedagogy and suggest that the key to progress in the world of schooling - to simplify it a bit - is knowing what to measure and how to measure it. This, of course, combined with a discussion between research interested teachers and practice interested researchers. Thereby also believe that the teacher education should put much greater emphasis on what we can know on the basis of impact studies, so that the teachers can get a first grasp of what works best on a general level. This will obviously lead to more evidence informed teaching.
Despite my penchant for what can be quantified, I have my background in the humanities, as a senior high school teacher in philosophy, religious education and Swedish. Am basically a philosopher more than anything else, focusing on epistemological and ontological issues. With such a background it is natural to strive for clarity and accuracy. My pedagogical goal is to make difficult things comprehensible and easy accessible. Therefore there is my YouTube channel as a resource in my teaching, in which you can have a taste of my art of presentation:
