معرفی
Carina Granberg is an Associate Professor at Umeå University's Department of Applied Educational Sciences, where she conducts research at the intersection of mathematics education, cognitive psychology, and educational technology. She is affiliated with the Umeå Mathematics Education Research Centre (UMERC) and leads the ARED - Applied Research on Education and Digitalisation group.
Her research focuses on formative assessment practices, creative mathematical reasoning, and the impact of digital tools on learning. Granberg investigates how teacher-student interactions influence motivation and problem-solving abilities, particularly through projects like 'Learning by Imitative and Creative Reasoning' (2009-2025) and 'Teaching that supports students' creative problem-solving in mathematics' (2020-2022). Her work demonstrates that well-designed formative assessment significantly enhances behavioral engagement and autonomous motivation by satisfying students' basic psychological needs.
Analysis of her recent publications (2021-2025) reveals consistent emphasis on:
- Creative mathematical reasoning as superior to imitative approaches
- Neural correlates of mathematical learning through fMRI studies
- Diagnostic frameworks for identifying reasoning difficulties
- Inclusive strategies for students with intellectual disabilities
- Integration of retrieval practice with creative tasks
Her scientific recognition includes:
- Distinguished University Teacher award
- Excellent Teacher qualification
Granberg actively collaborates with international researchers through projects like the PME (Psychology of Mathematics Education) conferences, where she has co-edited proceedings. Her work bridges neuroscience, educational practice, and digital innovation to transform mathematics instruction.
