Grad student and also research assistant in Pedagogik, as the field is
institutionalised in Sweden.
Writing on my more and more nearly finished phenomenographic dissertation
on first-grade children approaching numbers in a computer context: puzzling
most of all over what the perceived "ownership" of numbers may do to
children's learning -- i.e. this is the riddle I do not solve.
Working also on a project where, in addition to tying up loose ends from
studies into how the computer may promote conceptual change, we will follow
the middle primary grade children and teachers in a small rural school
(three mixed-age classes) which is about to plunge into the world of the
Internet.
Reading mostly literature which I think will help my understanding both on
how people learn in educational settings and how the form of learning
called research proceeds. I keep looking back to see where we are going.
Mixing Gadamer, Skinner, Schegloff and Walkerdine, Lave and Latour... to
just take a few. Also looking across cultures, which is dearly needed in
this province of Terra.
-- can't say I enjoy getting into the limelight in THIS particular way.
