Lisa Fransson is a University Lecturer in pedagogical work specializing in after-school care and a Doctoral student at Kristianstad University's Faculty of Teacher Education, Department of Basic Teacher Training for After-school Centers. Her research centers on natural sciences education within school-age educare settings.

Education:

• Master's degree in Educational Work (2021) with thesis: "A phenomenographic study of after-school teachers' perceptions of collaboration with guardians in after-school centers".

Research Interests: Fransson investigates Science Education through the lenses of Didactic Modeling and Teacher Perceptions in School-age Educare. Her work examines how natural sciences are integrated into after-school care, focusing on pedagogical methods, curriculum design, and teacher-student dynamics within informal educational environments.

Publication Trends: Her 2022-2025 publications reveal a cohesive trajectory exploring science teaching in after-school centers, evolving from qualitative analysis of teacher perceptions (2022-2023) toward developing didactic models (2024-2025). The work consistently addresses purpose-definition, content selection, and methodological frameworks within Swedish school-age educare contexts.
