Ulrika Bossér

Since 2018 I am a senior lecturer in pedagogy at the department of pedagogy and learning. I hold a PhD in science education and have previously worked as an upper secondary school teacher in chemistry and mathematics.

Teaching

Primarily I teach within the teacher training programmes, in the areas general didactics and quality assurance.

Research

My research interests mainly concern teachers' professional development. Specifically, I am interested in science teachers' development of their teaching to integrate socio-scientific issues into science education.
