PhD-project
In my PhD-project, Storytelling as means to increase mathematics interest in teacher education, I investigate if storytelling can be used as a method to increase interest in mathematics and how it affects learning outcomes. We also investigate possible underlying mechanisms.
The project is supervised by Rolf Reber (Principal Investigator) and Anine Riege. The project is part of a larger collaboration, where the results will be compared to experiments on how question asking might lead to interest in mathematics.
Funding and collaboration
The project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council (FINNUT - Forskerprosjekt) 2019 – 2022, and is a collaboration between the University of Oslo, OsloMet, Østfold University College and Western Norway University of Applied Sciences.
