1 October 2009 MIKAEL ALEXANDERSSON Research interests: My research interests involve, on the one hand, the conditions of schools as a knowledgegenerating practice for teacher, and, on the other hand, student learning via new media in this practice. Common to these interests are issues of how knowledge content is offered, transmitted to, and developed by both teachers and students. For example, this has involved research on matters of education policy involving control in schools, professionalization efforts in the teaching profession, and how students learn via new media and technologies. I am currently active in two projects: The Children of Immigrants in Schools ( ) funded by the National Science Foundation, USA; and EXpertise, Authority and Control on the InterneT (EXACT): a study of the formation of source credibility in Web2.0 environments for learning funded by The Swedish Research Council Education Teacher Education, 1977 Licentiate of Philosophy, University of Gothenburg, 1986 Doctoral degree in Educational Science, University of Gothenburg, 1994 Positions held: Professor in Educational Science, University of Gothenburg since 2003 Professor (Educational Science) Luleå University of Technology, Visiting Professor at University of Karlstad, 2000 Associate Professor in Educational Science, University of Gothenburg, 1998 Senior lecturer, University of Gothenburg, 1994 Other appointments: Member of the Programme board for Educational Research, The Research Council of Norway Dean at the Faculty of Education Co-director of The Linneaus Centre for Research on Learning, Interaction and Mediated Communication in Contemporary Society (LinCS) Department of Education (GU) Principal investigator in the international project Children of Immigrants in School, National Science Foundation in USA Head of The Centre for Educational Science and Teacher Research at University of Gothenburg (halftime) Head of The project for Teacher Education Development, The Council for the Renewal of Higher Education
