Cecilie Rønning Haugen

Professor Cecilie Rønning Haugen researches education policy at NTNU's Department of Teacher Education, focusing on accountability systems, marketization effects, and educational equity. Her work critically examines test-based accountability reforms in Norway, revealing how policy implementation can exacerbate inequalities despite equity goals.

Key research areas include:

• Discourse boundaries in educational policy critique
• Datafication/juridification in early reading instruction
• Tensions between evidence-based practice and teacher autonomy
• Social segregation through school choice mechanisms

She has extensively analyzed Oslo's education reforms, documenting how performance metrics reshape curriculum and pedagogy while impacting marginalized schools. Publications frequently challenge policy assumptions about market solutions in education.
