معرفی
Karina Adbo is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Gothenburg. Her academic work bridges chemistry and education, specializing in how young children engage with scientific concepts through developmentally appropriate approaches.
Dr. Adbo's research centers on early childhood science education, with particular expertise in introducing chemistry concepts in preschool settings. Her work explores how play-based learning approaches foster scientific understanding in young children. Key research areas include:
- Development of science concepts in preschoolers
- Play-based chemistry education activities
- Children's cognitive and emotional engagement during science activities
- Application of theoretical frameworks like Perezhivanie in early science education
- International perspectives on scientific inquiry across educational levels
Analysis of Dr. Adbo's publication record (2018-2024) reveals a consistent focus on making chemistry accessible to young learners through carefully designed play experiences. Her research demonstrates how these approaches support not only science concept development but also broader cognitive skills like executive function in preschool children.
Dr. Adbo actively collaborates with researchers internationally, as evidenced by her participation in large-scale studies examining students' views of scientific inquiry across multiple countries and educational levels. Her work contributes significantly to the field by providing evidence-based approaches for early science education that respect children's developmental stages while fostering scientific thinking from an early age.
