København K
The Department of Science Education, Section for Science Education, invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in science education research with a focus on translating embodied cognition perspectives to science teacher education and/or practice development concerning science teaching in lower secondary or primary school (grade 1-9). The start date is February 1st, 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
The recent years have seen a growing commitment to embodied cognition as a new paradigm for knowing and learning. The study of embodied cognition builds on the assumption that thinking may occur in action and not only in the head or the brain. This shift in perspective has profound implications for science education research and practice. The goal of the PhD project is to break exciting new ground in the emerging field of embodied science education by systematically translating embodied cognition perspectives to science teacher education and/or science teaching practices. This work will also contribute to furthering the education of teachers within the Master Degree Program in STEM-Teaching. The PhD candidate will develop practical resources and establish design principles for instruction that facilitate embodied engagement to support science learning. There will be considerable room to shape and adapt this PhD project to the academic background and interests of the PhD candidate. Possible areas of specialisation could be a focus on a particular STEM discipline, e.g., embodied cognition in physics education, or a focus on certain formats of instruction, such as technology-enhanced science education viewed from an embodied-cognition lens. For questions or more information on the project, contact Magdalena Kersting ([email protected]).
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates with a background in science didactics, STEM teaching, or a related field of study. Applicants can have a professionally relevant background in education or related area (e.g., educational psychology, pedagogy, learning sciences, philosophy of education, etc.), but it is an advantage to have previous experience in educational research in the STEM disciplines or relevant knowledge of a science subject. Applicants should preferably be familiar with the Scandinavian school system, either through previous work or research experience in schools. Due to the specific nature of the PhD project, we are seeking a candidate who, from the time of employment, has professional working proficiency in either Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. Knowledge of the literature on embodied cognition in science education is advantageous.
