About Angelika Kullberg

Research interests My research interest concerns the relationship between teaching and learning, primarily in mathematics but also in other school subjects. I am interested in what determines whether students learn or do not learn specific content in teaching. I have worked with teaching-development research together with teachers for over 20 years. The research is characterized by Learning Study or longer intervention studies aimed at increasing students’ opportunities to learn specific content.

A Learning Study is a type of theory-informed lessons study,  in which lessons are designed to improve students’ learning of a particular ability—for example to calculate with negative numbers —through an iterative process where one or a series of lessons is planned, implemented, analyzed, and refined. 

I lead the research environment Phenomenography, Variation Theory, and Learning Study. Keywords classroom research, learning study, mathematics education, learning, variation theory
