Karianne Skovholt

Karianne Skovholt is a Professor of Norwegian didactics and conversation analysis. She has over ten years of experience from teacher education and research management. She masters linguistic methods such as conversation analysis (EMCA) and critical discourse analysis (CDA). In conversation analytic research, she is particularly concerned with how research findings from analyses of professional interaction can be used to inform, improve or change professional practice. She has especially contributed to developing conversation analysis as a field of applied research by creating and testing video-based instructional methods for teacher education. By drawing the teacher students directly into the classrooms through video recordings and analyzes of real classroom situations, the teacher education can offer teaching that is close to practice and relevant for practicioners.
