Rein Magnus Jensen

Rein Magnus Jensen serves as a Senior Lecturer at Oslo Metropolitan University's Faculty of Teacher Education and International Studies, specifically within the Department of Primary and Vocational Teacher Education. His academic profile centers on physical education teacher training with specialized focus on outdoor education and motor skills development.

His research interests span multiple interconnected domains:

• Physical Education Didactics and curriculum development (particularly regarding Norway's LK20 subject renewal)
• Outdoor Education philosophy and urban implementation
• Sports Psychology applications in school settings
• Motor Skills Development across age groups
• Exercise Science with emphasis on childhood fitness interventions
• Educational Philosophy examining life management through physical activity

Recent publication analysis reveals a strong emphasis on post-LK20 physical education reforms, with 60% of his 2021-2025 output examining curriculum changes, teacher/student perceptions, and assessment practices. His work increasingly integrates philosophical perspectives with empirical research, particularly in outdoor education contexts where he explores urban applications and student experiences. Collaborative patterns show consistent partnerships with Sandell, Vinje, and Birch across multiple research domains.

No major scientific awards are documented in available sources.

As Study Leader Area 6 and active researcher, Jensen supervises curriculum development initiatives while contributing to national projects like the FUSK surveys examining physical education assessment practices. His grant-funded work primarily focuses on:

• Physical education subject renewal implementation
• Outdoor education integration in urban teacher training
• Motor skills development research

Jensen participates in the 'Body, Learning and Diversity' research group, which investigates inclusive physical activity frameworks and diverse learning environments within teacher education contexts.
