معرفی
Linda Söderlind is a researcher at Karlstad University specializing in the intersection of teacher education, vocational pedagogy, and digital technology integration. Her work focuses on how digital tools function as boundary objects to bridge learning between academic institutions and workplace environments in Swedish vocational education, with extensive collaboration with colleagues including Susanne Mellerskog and Nina Kilbrink.
Her research centers on digital boundary objects in vocational contexts, examining teacher experiences with technology adoption, professional knowledge transformation, and school-workplace learning integration. Söderlind employs narrative analysis and collaborative development methodologies to investigate pedagogical challenges, emphasizing teacher risk-taking, collegial improvement processes, and student learning barriers in upper secondary vocational settings.
Publication trends from 2016-2024 reveal an evolving focus from documenting teacher experiences with digital tools (2016-2018) toward active collegial development projects addressing teaching quality and student difficulties (2023-2024). Her work consistently analyzes boundary object theory in Swedish vocational education through qualitative lenses, highlighting tensions in knowledge transfer between institutional contexts and proposing technology-mediated solutions for seamless learning transitions.
Söderlind operates within Karlstad University's educational research network focused on vocational pedagogy innovation. Her collaborative projects examine digital tool implementation strategies, professional development frameworks, and systemic improvements for connecting school-based instruction with workplace learning requirements in Sweden's upper secondary vocational system.
