Emma Wikberg Pedagogical developer

My work includes teaching and educational development at the Department of Physics (Fysikum). My research background is in theoretical quantum physics/condensed matter, but teaching has always been my main interest. I primarily teach classical mechanics, relativity and quantum mechanics. In addition to course design (primarily active learning methods), I am also interested in issues related to students' transition into higher education, such as how motivation, prior knowledge, expectations, self-efficacy, and learning strategies influence academic achievement. Over the years, I have been involved with the Centre for the Advancement of University Teaching (CeUL) in various capacities, including as a pedagogical ambassador, workshop facilitator and presenter, and member of the editorial board for Current Research in Higher Education. In 2018, I received Stockholm University's Award for Good Teaching.
