I am a Professor of Education specialising in Professional Digital Competence (PDC/PfDK) and teacher education at the University of South-Eastern Norway in Drammen.
I teach, supervise and conduct research on how digital technologies, and particularly generative artificial intelligence, reshape educational practices,
professional judgement and the purposes of education.
My research is driven by a concern for how increasing technologisation risks reframing education in instrumental and efficiency-oriented terms.
I am especially interested in what this means for professional agency, pedagogical relations, knowledge practices and Bildung.
Rather than approaching technology as a neutral tool, my work examines how digital technologies act as agents that shape professional identities,
institutional logics and educational values.
I have been centrally involved in the development of the Norwegian Framework for Teachers’ Professional Digital Competence,
including co-authoring the first national framework in 2017 and contributing to the revised 2024 version.
The framework has been used by the Norwegian Ministry of Education as the basis for major national initiatives in teacher education.
I hold a PhD in Education from Aarhus University, Denmark. My doctoral research analysed technology as an artefact in teacher education
through Cultural Historical Activity Theory, focusing on tensions between societal, institutional and educational practice levels.
