Signe Marie Hanssen

Signe Marie Hanssen is a Lecturer at the Mathematics Department within the Department of Science and Social Sciences at Queen Maud's College. Her work focuses on integrating innovative pedagogical methods into early childhood mathematics education.

• Civil Engineer in Electronics
• Preschool Teacher
• Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education
• Additional mathematics courses beyond her engineering education
• Subject Didactics in Norwegian and Mathematics, NTNU
• University and College Pedagogy (courses 1 and 2)
• Internship Grant in Kindergarten (2021)

Her research interests revolve around mathematics didactics in kindergarten settings, emphasizing playful and exploratory learning modes. She explores digital animation technology, automata construction, and flipped classroom techniques to enhance pedagogical practices. While her publications (e.g., ViduKids project reports, automata workshops) lack explicit years, they highlight interdisciplinary approaches to teaching STEM and fostering transversal competences in early childhood education. She also promotes student-active learning strategies and integrates video production into educational contexts.

Signe is actively involved in ongoing projects like "Student-active learning in mathematics and RLE" and completed the "Video Education for Kindergarten Mathematics (ViduKids)" initiative. Her work bridges engineering expertise with early education pedagogy, focusing on practical implementation of technology in kindergarten teacher training.
