Cecilia LundholmProfessor

About me

My interests concern conceptual change and instruction in the social sciences (civics, economics and political science) and climate, environmental and geography education (Davies, 2023; Davies & Lundholm, 2023; Lundholm, 2018; Lundholm et al., 2024).

I am also interested in climate change education and the role of social science knowledge for environmental policy support in relation to climate change - that is, large scale collective action problems - and for developing agency and hope among students.

My interest in research on teaching and learning subjects (ämnesdidaktik) concerns the focus on both the subject and its transformation and the students (their pre-conceptions, interest, attitudes) when designing instruction, the Model of Educational Reconstruction (Duit et al., 2012).

I am professor in Educational Science with a specialisation in Teaching and Learning in the Social Sciences. From 2011 to 2015 I was Director at the Centre for Teaching and Learning in the Social Sciences where research and education was being advanced.

I was a member of the executive committee of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) in 2017-2019. EARLI is the largest European educational research organisation, established in 1984. 

I am a member of EARLI's Special Interest Group Conceptual Change which organises a conference every second year. 

I was on sabbatical at UCLA funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond from August 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020.

Projects

Climate change - developing social science teaching for advancing knowledge, action and hope

funded by the Swedish Research Council, Committee for Educational Sciences, 2022-2026.

This project seeks to meet three educational challenges on climate change: i) education has privileged natural science subjects; ii) has not focused on understanding of interconnectedness between society and nature, and iii) has not addressed action and hope.

We acknowledge that economic literacy enables students to evaluate alternative possibilities, and the assumptions necessary for the acceptance of proposals on economic polices (e.g. flight taxation) (Mansbridge 2004). This is the rationale for looking to social science education in compulsory schooling year 9, and develop teaching in economic, political and legislative domains, that builds students’ knowledge concerning which choices merit action and hope. In the inital phase a survey was conducted (Lundholm, Bendz & Ignell, 2023, see below). Comparative interventions are designed together with teachers and implemented using a Design Research approach. The first cycle was completed in 2022, and two more cycles have been conducted and results have been presented (Lundholm, Ignell, Bendz & Bergh, 2024, see below) and as Lecture at Researchers Desk - Cecilia Lundholm on values and beliefs regarding policy responses to climate change (18 min). Theoretically, and in qualitative and quantitative analyses, we draw on conceptual change research (Davies, 2023; Lundholm, 2018). 

The project includes professor Peter Davies, Dep of Teaching and Learning, Stockholm University, senior lecturer Caroline Ignell, Dep of Education, Stockholm University, associate professor Anna Bendz, Dep of Political Science, University of Gothenburg and associate professor Andreas Bergh, Dep of Economics, Lund University. Advisory board; professor William Bosshardt, Florida Atlantic University, professor Jonas Ebbesson, Dep of law and professor Alasdair Skelton, Dep of geological sciences, Stockholm University. For more information, clic here!

2024  

- Lecture at Researchers Desk - Cecilia Lundholm on values and beliefs regarding policy responses to climate change (18 min). The lecture summarises my and colleagues work on knowledge of policy and economic knowledge and pro-climate action among students and the public. This focus is based on research showing that students who know about solutions to climate change feel hope (Li & Monroe, 2019).

The Climate Change Challenge. Solutions among students in economics, law and political science

funded by the Swedish Research Council, Committee for Educational Sciences (2012-2017).

The research programme addressed questions concerning the environmental policy instruments students choose regarding climate change and environmental problems and the effect of knowledge as well as values on such choices.

The project was carried out in collaboration with: Prof. Peter Davies, Department of Teaching and Learning, Stockholm University; PhD Linda Ekström, Department of Business Administration, Technology and Social Sciences, Luleå University of Technology (now at Södertörn University); PhD Niklas Harring, Department of Political science, Göteborg University; PhD student (now lecturer) Caroline Ignell, Department of Education, Stockholm University, and PhD Tomas Torbjörnsson at the Department of Teaching and Learning, Stockholm University.
