Ida Bergvall

Ida Bergvall is a Senior lecturer at the Department of Pedagogy, Didactics and Educational Sociology at Uppsala University. Her academic work focuses on the intersection of mathematics education, linguistic analysis, and multimodal communication in educational contexts.

Dr. Bergvall's research primarily investigates mathematical subject language and its impact on diverse student populations. Her work examines:

• How linguistic features in mathematics tests affect different student groups
• The multimodal nature of mathematical communication (text, symbols, images)
• Information density in mathematical materials
• Differences between language use in mathematics and science
• The role of dynamic elements in digital teaching platforms
• Collaborative problem-solving approaches in mathematics education

Her publication history reveals an evolving research trajectory from foundational linguistic analysis of mathematics education toward contemporary investigations of digital learning environments. Bergvall consistently applies social semiotic perspectives to understand how multiple modes of communication function together in mathematical education. Recent work demonstrates increasing focus on dynamic elements in digital teaching platforms and their influence on students' reading behavior and comprehension processes.

While specific grant information isn't detailed in the provided materials, her research appears to focus on collaborative projects examining mathematical language, particularly through the lens of TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) data analysis and contemporary digital learning environments.
