1. On the analytical engagement of social semiotics and variation theory in physics education research
Sammanfattning : In this licentiate thesis, I explore how two theoretical frameworks—social semiotics and the variation theory of learning—used in physics education research, can be fruitfully combined to obtain additional analytical tools for analysing student learning in introductory level university physics. Each theoretical framework has on their own, or together with other frameworks, been successfully applied for analysing both individual and collective learning, but the combination of the two has yet not been fully explored.

2. Textsamtalens möjligheter och begränsningar i språkligt heterogena fysikklassrum
Sammanfattning : This thesis reports and discusses results from case studies of how two physics teachers process the language and subject content of textbook texts in interaction with their students, several of whom are second language learners. The overall aim is to study and contribute to knowledge about the didactic choices teachers make in relation to text-talks in linguistically diverse physics classrooms. LÄS MER
3. Abelian Extensions, Fractional Loop Group and Quantum Fields
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the theory of Lie group extensions, Lie conformal algebras and twisted K-theory, in the context of quantum physics. These structures allow for a mathematically precise description of certain aspects of interacting quantum field theories. LÄS MER
4. Non-local behaviour from local interactions
Sammanfattning : With the discovery of the quantum Hall effect more than thirty years ago, a whole new field emerged—that of topological quantum matter. This field is now a very mature one, and many different aspects are covered in the literature. LÄS MER
5. Educational technology for visualisation in upper secondary physics education : The case of GeoGebra
Sammanfattning : In order to contribute to our understanding of how technologies can be used to visualise physical phenomena in order to support teaching and learning of the phenomena at hand, this licentiate thesis explores the ways in which visual representations created with GeoGebra can be used in upper-secondary physics education. In addition, this thesis provides a new model that can be used to characterise students’ representational competence. LÄS MER
