Anders Aasgaard Madsen

Anders Aasgaard Madsen serves as a University Lecturer in the Department of Teacher Education at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His academic role involves teaching courses including Knowledge, Learning and Education in Teacher Profession (LÆR1000) and Pedagogy and Pupil-related Skills (MGLU4114/MGLU4115) for primary education levels 1-7.

Madsen's research centers on the intersection of aesthetic expression and professional identity formation in teacher education. He investigates how repetitive teaching practices, aesthetic experiences, and pedagogical frameworks shape teacher students' professional competencies. His work emphasizes curriculum design that integrates artistic expression to foster belonging and identity development within educational contexts.

Analysis of his publication history reveals a consistent focus on aesthetic dimensions in teacher training, with recurring themes including didactic designs for identity formation (e.g., 'aesthetic weeks'), professional judgment development, and the epistemological power of pedagogy in professional formation. His research bridges theoretical frameworks with practical implementations in Scandinavian teacher education systems.
