FontD – Swedish national graduate school in Sciences, Mathematics and Technology education research
FontD is a network of pedagogy research communities from universities and colleges across Sweden. KTH is part of the network and will accept a doctoral student in technology and science education, focusing on artificial intelligence as a subject in primary school, secondary school and/or teacher training.
As a doctoral student, you will be admitted to KTH for five years of research studies, expected to work 20% of the time on KTH's teacher training programmes, and at the same time be offered a place in FontD's research school. The idea is that you will follow the joint course offering and participate in seminars and conferences within FontD.
FontD has a fully developed organisation for research studies with courses, a supervisory board and seminars. FontD is a network collaboration between several universities, with Linköping University as the host university. FontD includes the local didactic research environments at the participating universities and colleges. Since its inception in 2002, over 100 doctoral and licentiate degrees have been awarded. FontD has its own governing body with representatives from each university, as well as an international scientific committee responsible for an annual quality review.
KTH is represented by Professor Arnold Pears and Associate professor Susanne Engstrom, both of whom work at the Department of Learning at the School of Industrial Engineering and Management (ITM).
