Lisser Rye Ejersbo is associate professor in mathematics education and neuroscience mathematics Lisser graduated as MEd. in mathematics from the Danish University of Education in 2001 and with her PhD dissertation in 2007. She has worked at the Danish University of Education since 1996 as pedagogical consultant. Before that, Lisser worked for a number of years at the Governmental Pedagogical Innovative Center (SPF), where she developed and compared math teaching at lower secondary school levels. The background for this position was ten years of experience as teacher/math teacher at different regular schools. Her present and past teaching and course offers, lectures, etc., evolve around mathematics, didactics, brain research, cognition and learning. Lisser is the author of various articles for pedagogical journals as well as textbooks on mathematics.

Profile

Lisser Rye Ejersbo is an associate professor in neuromathematics. Her research interests revolve around how the development of mathematical thinking takes place from the perspective of neuroscience, evolution, academic mathematics and the teaching of mathematics. On a theoretical level, her research deals with how various theories within various sciences work together or run directly counter to each other.

On an analytical and practical level, Lisser Rye Ejersbo is engaged in finding connections between results of brain research and the learning of mathematics, and teaching about them. She works with field studies, such as observations of teaching, compared with the collection of test results from a wide range of pupils over time and of various types, such as MR scans, cognitive tests and academic tests in, for example, reading and mathematics. Lisser Rye Ejersbo is part of a cross-disciplinary research group consisting of neuropsychologists, neurobiologists, and researchers in educational theory and curriculum studies. Lisser Rye Ejersbo uses both qualitative and quantitative methods as analytical tools in her research.  

Brain Research, Learning and Teaching

Description

The research project "Brain Research, Learning and Teaching" aims to link the three topics. Today, we know a great deal about how the brain functions, but we do not know how to use this knowledge to organise teaching and learning.
