Ingi Heinesen Højsted

Ingi Heinesen Højsted is an Associate Professor and Research Leader at the Faculty of Education, The University of the Faroe Islands. Holding a PhD in Mathematics Education from Aarhus University (2021), his work focuses on digital technologies, mathematical competencies, and design research in mathematics education.

• PhD, Aarhus University (2018–2021)
• M.A. in Education Theory and Curriculum Studies, Aarhus University (2016)
• B.Ed in Mathematics and Physics Education, Faroe Islands (2013)

His research spans dynamic geometry environments, preservice teacher education, mathematical knowledge for teaching, and PISA-related curriculum studies. Notably, he explores how digital representations of mathematical objects influence reasoning and literacy.

Recent publications highlight design principles for digital tools, implementation heuristics in education, and task design for conjecture explanation. Collaborations include projects on ITC-usage in Faroese schools and post-COVID student well-being.
