Bodil Sundberg is a Professor of Science Education at Linnaeus University's Department of Biology and Environmental Science, part of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences in Kalmar. She holds a PhD in Plant Physiology and specializes in early childhood science education. Her research focuses on wonder in science practices, pedagogical use of drawing, and continuity in science teaching across educational stages. Key projects include 'Drawing to Learn' and 'Pedagogical Potential of Wonder.'
Education background includes advanced studies in plant physiology and extensive teacher education training. Research groups include the Center for Science and Technology Education collaborating across multiple faculties.
Her research explores how creative methods like drawing enhance student engagement and understanding, particularly in primary and preschool settings. Recent work emphasizes transitions between preschool, primary school, and middle school science curricula using cultural-historical activity theory frameworks.
Over 25 peer-reviewed articles since 1999 span topics from lichen physiology (earlier work) to modern pedagogical strategies. Current projects investigate digital/analog teaching tools' impact and sustainability education through meals in preschools. No explicit awards are mentioned, though her extensive publication record indicates academic recognition.
Labs/teams include collaborations with the Science and Technology Education Research Center and international conferences like NFSUN. Teaching focuses on natural sciences in teacher education programs.
