Equity in Science Education
My research concerns the encounter between on the one hand the students with their prior knowledge and experiences, their interests, expectations and perspectives, and, on the other, the educational context with its ways of teaching, its curriculum, frames, cultures, traditions, teachers and other students. What happens in this encounter? What affects what happens, and how does it influence the students’ development of an identity and sense of belonging at the education, as well as their interests, motivation and learning outcomes?
Specifically, I have studied university students, particularly within science and engineering, their choice of study, their transition into first year at university and what they find challenging in this transition. We have studied how the students manage this transition, the teaching and the content they meet, and how it affects the completion and non-completion during first year.
Also, I have studied upper-secondary school, in particular students from non-traditional background and the challenges these students experience during upper-secondary school, but also in a wider sense the difficulties students experience in the transition from lower to upper secondary school.
