[Sweden] PhD Student Position within Engineering Education Research at Chalmers University of Technology

Posted:

Overview
We are looking for a candidate (reference number 2010/164) within the area on educational methods that promote complex competences related to transformative learning. Transformative learning, including the ability to shift perspectives, is claimed to be best achieved when different perspectives are introduced in teaching and when also their underlying assumptions are challenged. This candidate will study whether case study courses and other pedagogical approaches can promote learning processes of transformative character and how such learning can be assessed.

Another position (reference number 2010/163) is within the area of mathematics education. Mathematical models influence how we think about the world, and consequently what conclusions we draw and what choices we make. But how do students, at secondary school level and university level, conceptualize the nature and role of mathematical models in science and engineering? And how can teachers help students to construct, analyze, and solve mathematical models representing complex real-world problems in science and engineering?
