Research
The mathematics education at Komvux is complex. For education to work as well as possible, feedback methods that work under different conditions are required.
I am conducting action research where I, together with other Komvux teachers, use different feedback methods.. I am investigating how students and teachers perceive the feedback and how it can be used to improve teaching.
Teaching
In addition to my research studies at Karlstad University, I work part-time as a teacher in mathematics at Municipal Adult Education MAE, at Komvux Kristinehamn.
Collaboration
I am working together with Yvonne Liljekvist on a project funded by the Swedish Institute for Educational Research.
Development of methods for feedback supporting adult mathematics learning.
