The two most important projects currently (written in April 2019): Pilot project with comparative judgement in Calculus 1. Another project is how student teachers explain the solving of linear equation, a comparative study between students in Norway and Sweden.

2018/19: MA-163 Calculus 1. Supervisor for master students. Examiner and support in MA-146, MA-921, MA-922 og MA-923.

Collaboration with Paul Andrews (Stockholm University) in several projects. An ongoing project deals with student teachers’ explanations of solutions to first grade equations. Data come from students in Norway and Sweden respectively. There are also existing data from Cyprus (Cypriote and Greek students) to be involved at later stages, as well as plans to collect more data, e.g. in Denmark and Finland.

Collaboration with Kerstin Pettersson (Stockholm University). An ongoing project about students’ understanding of proof by mathematical induction. Data come from university students in Sweden and Norway.

Earlier collaboration with Sinéad Breen (St Patrick’s College, Drumcondra, Ireland), Ann O’Shea (National University of Ireland Maynooth), Kerstin Pettersson (Stockholm University), regarding a project analysing students’ concept images of inverse functions in Ireland and Sweden respectively.
