Department of Pedagogical, Curricular and ProfessionalAbout Åke Ingerman
Research interests My research aims to develop understanding of a fundamentally multidisciplinary content – educational aspects of natural science and technology. My research has mostly had a phenomenographic framework and focuses mainly on how technical and natural science phenomena are expressed and experienced in learning and teaching situations. This also includes studies of different ways in which students perceive key concepts in science and technology. My research has concerned teaching and learning in primary school as well as high school and university. I currently lead the project Effects of group discussions in teaching mathematics and science, financed by The Swedish Institute for Educational Research.
Teaching interests My teaching is currently mainly within postgraduate education. I have previously taught in both teacher training, master's education and university pedagogic courses. I supervise several doctoral students with subject didactic focus.
