معرفی
Anette Bagger is a Professor in Educational Work at the School of Culture and Society, Dalarna University, where she conducts research at the intersection of special education, mathematics education, and assessment practices. Her work critically examines national testing systems, inclusion policies, and accessibility in mathematics education, with a focus on socio-political, ethical, and relational dimensions.
Her educational background includes a PhD from Umeå University in Educational Work with a specialization in mathematics, where her thesis investigated national mathematics assessments for third-graders and students requiring learning support. Prior to her current position, she served as an assistant professor at Örebro University for five years and was appointed Excellent Teacher before achieving Associate Professor status.
Bagger's research centers on special needs education in primary schools, particularly in early mathematics education. She explores how mandatory assessments shape student identities, the ethical dilemmas in assessment practices, and how multilingualism affects testing environments. Her work emphasizes accessibility in mathematics materials and the implementation of inclusive policies, often through critical socio-political lenses that challenge conventional assessment frameworks.
Her recent publications reveal a strong thematic focus on inclusion and equity in mathematics education, with increasing attention to intellectual disabilities, care ethics in assessment, and digital learning materials. The research consistently bridges theoretical policy analysis with practical classroom implications, highlighting tensions between standardization and individualized support.
