My name is Reidar Mosvold, and I am associate professor in mathematics education at the University of Stavanger.
This website has two main purposes. First, I use this site as my online “home” in order to inform those who are interested in the work I am involved with. Second, this website includes a blog, and I use this blog to communicate that I find interesting for my own work (and which might be interesting for others who share my interests too, at least I hope so!). The blog is a continuation of the “Mathematics Education Research Blog”, which has existed since early 2008. I have explored different ways of using the blog, and in the future, I plan on using it to write about things I find particularly interesting in relation to my work and research interests (see my vita to learn more about these interests!). If you want to stay more up-to-date with what’s happening in the field of mathematics education research as such, you might be better off checking my twitter account. That account is much more frequently updated, and I use it to share everything I come across in relation to mathematics education.
Saying that the website only has the two purposes that I have described above is, however, not completely accurate. There is one more purpose that underlines everything I do: I want to do it all to the glory of God—even my work as associate professor in mathematics education
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. (Romans, 11:36)
In addition to this page, I also have accounts with several social networks and services. If you are interested, you might want to check out some of these:
