About

RESEARCH INTERESTS

I describe and measure teaching quality across many classrooms, especially in mathematics. I've recently started working on the TEPS-project to create a large longitudinal dataset about teacher education in Norway.

I have a special interest in how the field of education works/does not work. I currently investigate how citations in education research sometimes distort findings and give unfounded authority to claims.

I enjoy creating teaching materials and sharing them with open licenses. Only in Norwegian so far, but see www.roarstovner.no.
