Johanna Andersson

Johanna Andersson is a Researcher at Kristianstad University's Faculty of Education, affiliated with the Department of Secondary Teacher Education and the Learning in Science and Mathematics (LISMA) research group. Her work focuses on science education, particularly on how upper secondary students perceive the relevance of science studies to their everyday lives and future roles.

Research interests include:

• Nature of Science (NOS) integration in curricula
• Student-centered pedagogical approaches
• Relevance of science education for self-fulfillment and social justice

Recent research outputs (2022–2025) examine student perspectives on science education's utility, analyzed through NOS frameworks, appearing in Nordic Studies in Science Education and peer-reviewed conference presentations. Collaborative projects with researchers Lars Hansson and Lotta Leden emphasize curriculum development and teacher support.
