Ene Ernst Hoppe

Ene Ernst Hoppe is a Postdoc and Guest Researcher at the Department of Science Education, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, focusing on equity in science education, student participation dynamics, and innovative art-based methodologies to address systemic barriers in STEM learning environments.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Science Education, University of Copenhagen (2024)

Research Interests:

Hoppe investigates identity formation and non-participation patterns during the primary-to-secondary school transition in science classrooms, employing art-based approaches to uncover hidden dimensions of science capital among young children. Their work critically examines how classroom structures produce exclusion and develops creative frameworks for inclusive science pedagogy, emphasizing longitudinal identity-work and equity-centered interventions.

Article Trends:

Publications from 2020-2024 reveal a cohesive trajectory centered on non-participation mechanisms and art-based methodological innovation. The research bridges science education with critical sociology and childhood studies, consistently prioritizing equity through longitudinal qualitative designs and creative participatory techniques to address complex questions of access and belonging in STEM.

Scientific Awards:

No scientific awards were documented in the source materials.

Advising and Grants:

Hoppe participated in consultancy for the Kompetencetilpasningsforløbet STEM pipeline project in Region Sjælland (2019-2020) but no formal student supervision or grant leadership was indicated. Activities include collaborative research design and program evaluation within institutional partnerships.

Labs and Teams:

Collaborative networks include Holmegaard and Nielsen on art-based science methods, with cross-institutional partnerships evident in conference presentations and joint publications, though no dedicated laboratory structure was specified.
