About
Educated as a primary school teacher with a master’s degree in educational sciences and a specialization in early years learning. I am also nearing completion of a PhD in educational sciences. My research has focused on children’s opportunities for play and learning in a digital age. At the early childhood teacher education programme at OsloMet, I teach Children’s development, play and learning, Pedagogy in language, literacy and mathematics, Pedagogy in social studies, religion, beliefs and ethics, as well as the continuing education course Digital competence for early childhood teachers. In addition, I supervise bachelor’s students, teach in practicum courses, and participate in three development projects through the Regional Programme for Competence Development in Early Childhood Education.
