Daniela Fiedler

Daniela Fiedler is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Science Education at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. Her work focuses on empirical research in biology education with particular emphasis on evolutionary biology teaching and learning across school and university contexts. She maintains an active research profile with 27 total research outputs including journal articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings.

Her research centers on quantitative empirical studies examining the development and influence of learners' biological knowledge, particularly regarding threshold concepts like randomness and probability in evolutionary biology. Additional research interests include attitudes toward evolution, the impact of religious identity on evolution acceptance, and how digital learning environments can support biology education. Her work bridges educational theory with practical classroom applications in science teaching.

An analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on conceptual understanding in evolution education, with particular attention to children's misconceptions, assessment tools for measuring evolutionary understanding, and the integration of cognitive science principles into biology teaching. Her research employs both quantitative and mixed-methods approaches, often with international collaborations, and demonstrates growing impact in science education research as evidenced by citations in key journals.

Fiedler is actively engaged in academic service, recently participating as a member of the organizing committee for the Unfinished Business 2025 conference. While specific grant information isn't provided in the available text, her publication record suggests involvement in research projects examining evolution education across multiple educational contexts and populations.
