Education:
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from Mid Sweden University (2025), with dissertation titled Mellan utbildningsideal och styrdokument: En multipel fallstudie om lärares agens i bedömningspraktiker (Between educational ideals and governing documents: A multiple case study on teachers' agency in assessment practices)
Dr. Wissing's research centers on the ethical foundations of educational assessment, examining tensions between pedagogical ideals and institutional policy constraints. His work investigates teacher agency within assessment systems, philosophical underpinnings of validity, and moral dimensions of evaluation practices. This interdisciplinary approach bridges educational theory, philosophy, and policy implementation.
Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals a concentrated research trajectory exploring ethical assessment validity through philosophical frameworks. The work demonstrates increasing sophistication in connecting abstract ethical principles to concrete classroom practices, with particular attention to how governing documents shape teacher decision-making. These publications position him at the intersection of assessment theory and educational ethics within Nordic educational research.
