About Jörgen Stenlund
In my research, I have focused on visual learning and communication with regard to natural sciences. In my PhD-thesis I investigated the possibilities to enhance understanding of deep evolutionry time through visualizations.
My reseach interest has been visualizations for teaching and learning science. I am affiliated to the group at Linköping University dedicated to visual learning and communication.
As a teacher educator, I have taught many categories of students from preschool teachers to upper secondary teachers with a focus on didactics in natural sciences.
