معرفی
Claes Malmberg is a Professor in Science Education at Halmstad University, specifically within the School of Education, Humanities and Social Sciences. He holds a PhD in Education and has established himself as a leading researcher in the intersection of science education, sustainability, and citizenship. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical educational applications across multiple disciplines.
Malmberg's research focuses on the critical examination of how education shapes citizens' understanding of sustainability, environmental issues, and health. His work consistently explores the tension between individual responsibility and collective democratic action in educational contexts. He has developed a distinctive approach examining how political dimensions are often marginalized in science and sustainability education, advocating for more politically engaged pedagogical approaches.
His publication record reveals a strong trend toward integrated approaches to Science|Environment|Health (S|E|H) education, with increasing emphasis on holistic perspectives that challenge reductionist approaches. Recent work explores concepts like 'Two-Eyed Seeing' and scientific holism as frameworks for addressing complex sustainability challenges. His research consistently identifies a problematic framing of sustainability and health issues as matters of individual responsibility rather than collective political action.
Malmberg's work has significantly contributed to understanding how educational materials and practices construct citizens, particularly how they frame responsibilities related to sustainability and health. His critical analysis of curriculum documents across different time periods reveals evolving discourses around environmental citizenship and responsibility.
Through his extensive publication record spanning over a decade, Malmberg has established himself as a leading voice in Nordic sustainability education research, with particular expertise in analyzing how political dimensions are handled (or avoided) in science and sustainability education contexts.
