Presentation

I have previously worked as a teacher in both preschool and primary school, but now I work as a lecturer at the teacher training programs here at Linköping University.

I’m curious about what affects children’s meaning-making processes in science. I have a PhD in science education and my research focus on how to stimulate young children’s meaning making in science through for example picture storybooks, materials and playful activities.
