Competences
Participation in committees
Since obtaining professor competence in 2006 I have been involved in twelve adjudication committees for critical input to disputations of education:
- University of Oslo, Faculty of Educational Sciences (2),
- Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Department of Education (4),
- University of Bergen, Department of Education (2),
- Aarhus University, Danish School of Education (2)
- University of Agder, Department of Education(1)
- University of South-Eastern Norway, Faculty of Humanities, Sports and Educational Science (1)
In the same period, I have been member of seventeen committees for evaluating professor and senior lecturer positions. The evaluations were related to school development, school leadership, inclusive schooling, adapted education and teachers’ work.
