About the researcher
Eva has a PhD in plant physiology. Upper secondary school teacher. Research interest – pedagogical content knowledge and professional learning. Current research focuses on how Swedish compulsory schools work collegially to develop teaching and student learning in science and mathematics.
- Professional learning – teaching and student learning in biology (2012–2015)
In 2012, a longitudinal action research project with practicing teachers was initiated. The emphasis in the first two years was on teachers' collegial development of biology teaching with a progression perspective from grades 1-6. As of 2014, the project has a focus on how abilities and skills are stimulated and assessed. Funded by the University of Gävle.
- Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Subject Matter Knowledge in Mathematics and Science Education (2012–2013)
The project aimed to create conditions for the University of Botswana and the University of Gävle to collaborate on subject and subject didactic research, practice-oriented research, teaching methods and course development in mathematics and science. In Sweden, action research was conducted with nine active teachers in biology and mathematics. Stakeholder collaboration project with the University of Botswana. Funded by Sida, the University of Botswana and the University of Gävle.
- Collegial learning about teaching biology - in-service training of active teachers (2011–2012)
During in-service training in science, active teachers were introduced to a subject-didactic collegial lesson planning tool. The aim was to study and document how the tool was used for planning lessons and reflecting on completed lessons and the possible learning. Funded by the University of Gävle.
- European Science Teacher: Scientific Knowledge, Linguistic Skills and Digital Media (2005-2008)
International development project with the aim of developing methods, focusing on linguistic methods and Internet use, to stimulate pupils' knowledge development in science. EU funded Comenius project.
- Development of student teachers' subject knowledge during teacher education (2003-2006)
The project studied how student teachers develop subject knowledge in science during their education. In the subject of biology, the focus was on the area of photosynthesis. VR-funded.
