Helena Johansson

Helena Johansson is an Associate Professor at Mid Sweden University's Department of Engineering, Mathematics and Science Education (IMD). Her research focuses on mathematics and science education, particularly in the interplay between semiotic resources, digital learning materials, and students' conceptual understanding.

Her work examines mathematical reasoning requirements in physics contexts, the objectification of symbolic discourse in teaching, and the design of multimodal tasks. She actively investigates differences between secondary and tertiary education, aiming to bridge gaps in pedagogical approaches.

Helena's recent publications emphasize digital textbooks, quiz-based formative assessments, and models for supporting teachers in achieving equitable mathematics instruction. She collaborates with researchers like Mats Österholm and Christer Kilhamn on these topics.
