On Thursday 31 March 2022, Mette Møller Jeppesen, Project Manager at LamSTEM-Nord, is set to defend her PhD dissertation on a coordinated language for problem-based learning in the subject Technology at HTX (Danish technical upper secondary school). As part of her PhD studies, she has written a textbook to strengthen the academic tradition in Technology and support the individual teacher in using problem-based learning as a teaching and learning approach.
In the first half of September, Marie Nilsberth will be visiting SDU Odense, thanks to a grant from the QUINT (Quality in Nordic Teaching) Research Centre. Her visit takes place within the framework of the QUINT project Connected Classroom Nordic, where she looks forward to working in Odense with Connie Svabo, Tina Høegh and Marie Falkesgaard Slot. Together, using video footage from Nordic classrooms, they examine questions about teaching quality in digitised classrooms and how old and new media interact in classroom practices in different school subjects and how it affects the quality of teaching. She also hopes to have the opportunity for meetings and discussions with numerous researchers at the Centre for Primary and Lower Secondary Education Research.

Publications
Teaching green transition should be practised not only from the student’s perspective, but from the child’s as a whole, so that the teaching facilitates a good children’s life. You can read more about this in the new MOV:E 12, where Connie Svabo (PhD), Professor and Head of Centre for FNUG, has co-authored an article together with the rest of the management team of the Centre for Primary and Lower Secondary Education Research.
Bent Nygaard Andresen defended his thesis on interest-generating teaching in physics on 31/01/2022. Connie Svabo supervised the thesis, which examines Space Club SDU. Thanks to a grant from the Technology Pact, Space Club SDU aims to promote STEM teaching in space science.
How does a study-based approach to science create continuity between day care and school? This was the research topic of Stine Mariegaard’s PhD dissertation. Adopting a holistic whole-child approach, she examined the emotional, intellectual and practical aspects of how children experience the world.
Stine Mariegaard, Lars Seidelin and Jesper Bruun have co-authored an article in the latest edition of IJRME. In the article, they present how to analyse and synthesise theoretical positions in didactics. As a case, they examine the literature in the field of study-based learning in maths and science.

Right now you can experience the ‘Data Choreographies’ exhibition at Catch in Elsinore. The exhibition is a transdisciplinary collaboration between the research project ‘Choreographies for Connected IT Systems’ and a number of artists who, inspired by choreographic programming, examine our understanding of academic knowledge and lived experience. You can experience the exhibition yourself or see more via the link.
The Research Centre for Natural Science Education and Dissemination (Danish abbreviation: FNUG) is a new interdisciplinary research centre whose mission is to facilitate educational experiences of science, mathematics and technology through research, education and dissemination. Focusing on educational contexts and continuity, FNUG deals with learning environments throughout our lives, from day care to university – as well as informal learning environments. FNUG’s cross-faculty research environment is especially represented by Physics, Biology and Chemistry as well as Mathematics and Computer Science. The centre also houses LSUL (the Laboratory for STEM Education and Learning), which collaborates with university colleges on projects, research education, teacher training and practice development.
Anne Julie Arnfred has been awarded an Elite Research Travel Grant for her PhD dissertation. In her dissertation, she examines the interaction between art exhibitions and research and points out that researchers as well as curators create knowledge when working on developing, improving and conducting an art exhibition. Connie Svabo (PhD), Professor and Head of Centre for FNUG, supervises the project. To learn more, click the link below:
