Forskning
Research projects:
1. A longitudinal study of computer science and engineering IT students': 23 students have been followed through their first three years of university education. Students essays, individual interviews and group interviews have been analysed. The results are insights into computing identity, as something negotiated in social interaction, and implications for student trajectories. Planned for 2019: A follow-up on the students, 5 years after the end of the longitudinal study (aiming to understand their work situations and meaning making).
2. Establishing dialogues to understand and broaden identity: An ethnographic study of two courses in the second study year, deepening prior research on identity and establishing dialogues with students, teachers, and teacher assistants for an improved understanding of identity and to explore opportunities to broaden identity.
3. Investigating IT for sustainability courses and exploring possibilities to integrate sustainability questions in computing education.
4. Innovations for a sustainable society (Vinnova project application): Inter-disciplinary research project with researchers from different disciplines within technology, natural science, and social science. The aim is to understand how to include diverse citizens in the movement towards a more sustainable society.
