Birgit Persson

Birgit Persson serves as an Assistant Professor and Study Supervisor at the University of Skövde. She is based in the Library and can be reached at birgit.persson@his.se or by phone at 0500-448908.

Her research focuses on critical educational approaches, literacy development, and the integration of technology in learning environments. Specifically, she examines:

• Educational assessment methodologies
• The impact of generative AI on student learning processes
• Media and information literacy in democratic societies
• Integrated student support systems
• Critical approaches to educational technology
• Literacy development in academic contexts

Birgit's publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on questioning whether educational assessment should prioritize end products or the learning process itself, particularly as AI tools become increasingly integrated into educational workflows. Her work spans educational theory, literacy studies, and digital pedagogy, with particular attention to how emerging technologies affect traditional educational practices and democratic values.

Birgit frequently collaborates with Maria Wickenberg and other colleagues on projects related to student development and educational support systems. Her work with "Projekt Integrerat Stöd (PIS)" indicates significant involvement in comprehensive student support initiatives at the institutional level. She has presented her research at the "Det akademiska lärarskapet" (The Academic Teaching Profession) conference series, demonstrating her active engagement with pedagogical development within Swedish higher education.
